Y SIXTY -N INTH YEAR No. 51 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FR IDAY , NOVEMBER, 16,1945 PRICE, ?1.50 A YEAR M E S M A L HAPENINGSIN WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member o f Congress The special joint Congressional com­ mittee to investigate Pearl Harbor has split wide open along party lines as a result o f a ruling that no records or witnesses may be examined except on the order o f the majority o f the com­ mittee, which 6f course, is made up of Democratic members. Orders o f the President that members o f the armed forces and other,government officials are not to answer questions or furnish information,'unless ordered to do so by the full committee, has added fuel to thefire. The committee has cancel­ led its arrangements to be in Pearl Harbor this Week and will begin hear­ ings here in Washington soon. In the meantime information is leaking out which indicates through the crack­ ing o f the Japanese code, American officials had learned as early as Nov. 22 or 23 Japan would declare war on •the United States, and that an' attack■ was imminent. Congressional cloak­ room gosBip has it that before the in- vestigfttion is completed the American people are in for a rather rude awak­ ening, and that public idols will be found to have had feet of clay. I f the Labor-Management Confer­ ence, which, got under way last week at the call of President Truman, does not come up with some solution to the president labor problems and difficul­ ties, Congress will probably enact far- reaching l&gislation for the control, of lalgr disputes. The Congress and the country are fed up with present con­ ditions, and'there is much sentiment on Capitol Hill for putting teeth into the nation’s labor laws. Many law­ makers believe that while the right of collective bargaining must be guaran­ teed and protected, once a contract is made as.a result of collective bargain­ ing both parties to such contract— la­ bor and management—should be com­ pelled to live up to it or suffer the consequences. Congress is not cover­ ing- the fact there is a third interested party to every labor dispute—the con­ suming public—who pays the freight. D. A .R . Pays Honor. To Armistice Day Honoring Armistice Day, members of Cedar C liff Chapter, D. A, R. met in the Cedarville U. P. Church dining room for their annual dinner with the husbands o f members and gueBts Fri­ day evening A three-course dinner was followed by tin “flag salute” led by Mrs. Donald Kyle, The regent, Mrs. R. T. Williamson, welcomed the members and guests and introduced the speaker o f the evening, Mr F. C. Holloman o f Cincinnati, who represented the Federal Bureau o f In­ vestigation. Mr, Holloman began his talk by say- saying “ The war is over between na­ tions, but in our country we need pro­ tection.” He cited numerous cases from Pearl Harbor to German spies in this country in which the F. B. I. had arrested thirty-nine." He told how thorough the efforts o f the bureau, child-kidriapping and bank robbing are almost a thing of' the past. He said the G-men are “ where you least sus­ pect them” and referred to juvenilja Jeliquency being on the increase, boys and girls ranging from 10 to 18 years *t age being involved in auto stealing, .nurder and numerous ' other crimes, .ie declared all this dates back to one thing, “ no home life and no disci­ pline,” In closing his talk he said, “ Let as keep America for Americans.” Two vocal duets, “Lassie of Mine” and "Beautiful Dreamer” were sung <>y Mrs, William Lafferty and Mrs. Alber Mott with Mrs. Paul Elliott, as .iccompanist, followed by two musical readings given by Mrs. M. J. Bahin, if. Springs Charter Plan Defeated The U. S.,Army is going torhave to get a move on itself if all American soldiers with more than sixty-points now eligible for discharge—are re­ turned to the United States from eith­ er the European theater of war by January 1st, or from the Pacific thea- tm by the middle of April, as promis­ ed by General Marshall, One thing certain and'that is if the pledges mode by the Chief of Staff are not kept the Congress may take summary action to guarantee these foreign service vet­ erans the discharges they have been promised. . Things have not been going well on the international front. While no great trouble is being encountered in con­ trolling the Japanese or the Germans, it does seem to be quite difficult for the conquering Allies to reach any sort o f a mutually satisfactory under­ standing on many important issues. An eminent American divine describ­ ed the situation well the other day when he said: “Now that we have de­ feated Germany and Japan our great­ est problem is to negotiate peace with Great Britain and Russia. The House is not in any hurry to pass the May bill, which provides for the establishment o f a commission to control the atomic bomb and future production of atomic energy. Most members of Congress want to know more about the whole problem and scientists,, who testified in secret ses- siohs o f the Military Affairs Commit­ tee, are being asked to further discuss the question before groups o f Con­ gressmen who were not privileged to hear their original testimony* In oth­ er words, the national legislators are going back to school to learn a bit a- bout science, which is well. It is re­ ported that because of production short cuts recently discovered, facil­ ities for the manufacture of atomic bombs cari now be provided at a cost under two million dollars. The origt est problem is to negotiate peace with in the atomic bomb project was more than two billion dollars* . ' According to latest industry reports, hosiery manufacturers arc. now receiv­ ing sufficient nylon yarn to permit the production o f at least thirty-two million pairs o f nylon hose each month; which means the fairer sex should soon be well supplied with the hosiery they have been waiting for so long. Industry reports also indicate a more plentiful supply of passenger car tires will be available fo r motor­ ists the first o f the year, when tire rationing is expected .to be lifted, WAR BONDS TODAY The recount of the ballots from the •Vest prec.uct in Yellow Springs, af- -er the County Board of Elections had -o take charge due to reported irregu- .arities, resulted in the charter form of government for the village loosing jy a close vote.' The proposal was for laming a commission to draw the new charter which afterwards would have -0 be approved by the voters. The ontest reached the fever stage and' harge was made the proposal was be- ng backed by newcomer fton-taxpay- irs. The final vote in the village was Jl© for the proposal arid 328 against it. Yellow Springs voters also defeat­ ed the $60,000 bond issue for construc­ tion of storm sewers. The village ap­ proved the bond issue for the new ounty home which failed to get the required 65 percent in the county. The vote was 3,446 for and 2,544 against. A . H . Creswell Unfolds Local History When it comes to historical events around Cedarville we'have to Tely on the active and accurate memory of our fellow citizen, Andrew Creswell, who has passed his ninetieth milestone. As a native who has spent a lifetime with­ in a stones throw o f his birthplace, he is familiar with past historical events. We were interested in learning while attending tiie Watt sale last Friday, that Mr. Creswell’ s father and moth­ er Were married on the Watt farm, then owned by the Reids, on June 10, 1846, nearly one hundred years ago. Mr, Creswell says the rear of the pres­ ent house was then part of the main building He also says . his mother when a young girl aided in preparing the meal for' some 125 farmers that gathered to assist in raising the bam on a certain day. The meals had to be cooked in an open fire place fqr there were no cookstoves at that time. The farm was owned in the Reid family fo r many years; then by the James Q. McMillan family, A number of years ago R. C. Watt purchased the farm and John Hardy, New York, City was the next owner and ’ he in turn sold it to Frank Creswell. a nephew of Andrew H. Creswell, who gave us’ the story last Friday. Brickel Bam Bum s; Heavy Loss Reported "”r* *• A barn' on the Charles.Brickel farm, north of Jamestown, burned Thursday evenin last at 6:45. The fire was dis­ covered by. members of the family who were at home at the time. The tenant is Charles Brickel a nephew o f the owner. The fire started in the barn and spread to a double corn crib and an­ other building. The loss included a- oout 1,500 bushels of corn, 30 tons of hay, a new tractor, combine and ham­ mer mill. The loss was only covered partially by insurance. The Jamestown fire department re­ sponded but could do nothing to save the bam but aided in saving the hopie. There was no livestock in the barn at che time. Mrs. Bertha Brakeall Died In Hospital Mrs, Bertha Mae Brakeall, 59, on Route 1, Cedarville, died in Springfield City Hospital, Monday. She is surviv­ ed by her husband, Luther; five sons, Everett and David of Dayton; Russell and Robert Of Clifton, and Fred who resides at home; ..five sisters, Mrs. Beatrice Sitzr, Mrs. Clare Kincaid and Mrs. HaZcl Wagner, Springfield; Mrs, Carrie Friend, DcGraff, and Mrs. Nel­ lie Southern* Columbus; one brother, Harry Miller, Springeld and a number o f grandchildren and great-grandchil­ dren, The funeral service was held Thurs­ day in the Littleton-Yoder funeral Home, Yellow Springs. Burial In the Clifton Cemetery. FISH & GAME SETS PRECEDENT The Greene County Fish & Game Association realising that pheasants are scarce this year, has Suggested the hunting season be reduced arid that all sportsmen recognize the shortage. The plan is being discussed over the state- but officially nothing can be done about it, Game killed, this year orily means that much less next year. There are an abundance o f rabbits ac­ cording to reports. iiitiia iM M iiiiiiiiiiiu tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifM iiin im iH iiiiiiiiiiia iiiiiiih i I COLLEGE NEWS f The Y. W. C. A. program Thursday of last week was in charge of Maxine Parrott. She Was assisted by Donna Thompson. The central theme was on Thanksgiving and the program was quite, interesting. Yesterday the Chapel period was given over to debate on the advisabil­ ity of universal military training. The affirmative was upheld by Doris Sanders, Betty Lou Shroades, and Bet­ ty Grumine; the negative by Mariana ! .Frederick, Margaret Stormont and ' ‘Ted’ Harsh. The decision—see this col­ umn next week. President Vayhinger was the guest Speaker for the Jamestown United Presbyterian Congregation last Sab­ bath. Eleven months ago some 25 Here­ ford heifers were placed on the Col­ lege Farm. They were sold the oth­ er day, weight approximately 800 lbs., a gain of over 100 percent, all put on by grass from the farm. . Calling the roll of C. C. alumni Rev. Andrew Creswell, for 25 years the be­ loved pastor o f the United Presbyter­ ian Church, Pontiac, Mich. To com­ memorate this 25-year pastorate, his ministerial brethern of the city re­ cently gathered to extend congratula­ tions and best wishes for the years to follow. The Congregation joined in the occasion by presenting the pastor and his good wife a wellfilled purse as an interest o f their feeling for them. These are days o f happy renewal of o)d times for some. Within the last week two happy couples whom the cruelties o f war have kept separated for several years visited the C C Campus. Walter Robert ’Bob’ Guthrie and Rachhei Neal Guthrie and Victor ‘Vic’ Shaw and Rosalyn Guthrie Shaw are the two couples. Both men are in civics and the problem is to get back into the ways o f peace, Both are con­ templating the teaching field. Anoth­ er couple happiliy reunited after many months of separation is Clyde ‘Butch’ Walker and' Jeanette Neal Walker. The former recently returned from China. One o f the sweetest phrases to ring in a mother’s ears is “Hello, Mom” . That was the privilege o f Mrs, Ira D. Vayhinger recently “ Where are you, son?” was the query. “ San Francis­ co” , was the reply, and then mother knew that her son, Richard, had re­ turned safely from the far Pacific to his native land. He will be home sootf to stay. Prof. A. J Hostetler was the guest speaker before the Broadcaster Class o f the First Presbyterian Church on Tuesday evening. Tis subject was the Oxford Church Movement, Chapel speaker Tuesday -o f this week was Reverend John Mitchell, Brother ‘Jim’, to his friends. His text was Genesis 2 ;? and man became a liv­ ing soul. The most preciotla thing in the world is a human soul. That is why the Devil tries so hard to got it, God in his mercy has provided a plan to save a soul—-His son Jesus Christ. The devotional opening was conduct­ ed by Maraian Frederick. Prayer was made by her father, Reverend R. C, Frederick, who also introduced the speaker o f the morning. ALONG FARM FRONT E. A- Drake, Co. Agricultural Agent DR WERTZ TO ADDRESS FORUM Dr, V. R.

EGG COOP ANNUAL MEETING— The annual pieeting o f the Ohio Valley Egg Cooperative will be held at Milford High Schook •Auditorium November 23rd at 8 P. M, The pro­ gram will consist of a report of the association activitiesAto date, a busi­ ness session, entertainment and re­ freshments.

These'three counties will name a director, at large. Officers o f the Greene county unit o f the association are Nelson Moore, Beavercreek Twp,. chairman and Ern­ est Smith, Spring Valley Twp. secre­ tary. . BARNES TO DISCUSS HOG AND BEEF OUTLOOK— The production o f meat is big busi­ ness in Greene county. Hog and cat­ tle sales make up about 60 percent of the total agricultural income of the country or roughly $5,000,000.00 an­ nually. With the end of hostilities, feeders are wondering about the fu­ ture. To get h glimpse into the future, the hog and beef cattle outlook will be discussed by L. ,H. Barnes, o f the Ohio State University at thte Court House Assembly Room, •Tuesdey evening November 20th at 8 oclock Mr. Barnes will discuss the factors that influence the price of meat animals. All farm­ ers are invited to attend. * DISEASE HAZARDS LURK AT OLD STRAW STACKS— The American Veterinary Medical Association warns Ohio farmers that old straw stacks ar“e dangerous shelt­ ers for hog, the -Explanations being that earthworm congregate about the stacks and the worms are hosts for the lungworm which often carries in­ fluenza virus to hogs. The hazard'from in^uenza infection has been made greate by a complica­ tion of the disease which has develop­ ed recently. The veterinarians say that hogs which have had flu ordinar­ ily will begin to improve in about four days, but the new complication rfiay kill the animals within a day. Bacter- ins usually act too slowly to save the hogs, but new type vaccines adminis­ tered by a veterinarian may save a substantial number o f them. FEED SITUATION BETTER THAN LAST YEAR— The October crop report on corn in­ dicated a decrease of 4 million bushels in the OhiO crop this year! and the Oct carryover o f 10 million bushels is 13 percent below the 1937-41 average. The total supply o f corn this year in Ohio is likely to be £2 percent greater than in 1944 and 12 percent a- hove average. The supply of corn plus stocks of oats, barley and rye will to­ tal about 6 million tons of feed grain, which would be about one ton for each grain consuming animal. This would be 25 percent larger than that in 1944 and 9 percent above average. CORN COBS HELP FAT­ TEN STEERS— Corn cobs are worth 60 percent of their weight in ground shelled corn according to tests at tthe Ohio. Exper­ imental Station. Steeril fed corn and cob meal graded the same as similar steers fed ground shelled corn. They gained as repidly and dressed out ap­ proximately the same. All rations were balanced with two pounds of soy bean meal and 4 to 6 pounds of hay per steer per day., On the basis of these tests, a ton o f com and cob meal is just as good for fattening cattle as 180 pounds of ground shelled corn. Arid the corn arid cob meal costs less because both time and money are saved by eliminat­ ing the shelling operation. Selling Price Goes Down Buying Price Goes Up We have lifted the following para­ graph from the weekly letter of Cong. Clarence J. Brown. The Herald has for weeks been pointing out that the farmer is*to be the New Deal guinea pig experiment and tjxat everything ulie farmer must purchase would be at .increase cost over today and that his larm'produets and live stock would be marketed under government control for less than he received today. Read the schedule o f hog prices in County Agent Drake’s letter this week also. The Brown letter says: “ Economists and students o f national affairs are predicting wage rates will increase from ten to twenty-five percent in the next few months, and most manufac­ tured commodities .will go, up in price by from five to ten percent; but that food prices will remain stationary or drop slightly, while the earnings and income of farmers will decline from ten to fifteen percent. All of which seems i be a repetition o f the days which followed World War One. MISS IRENE TURNER WINS DECLAMATION CONTEST Miss Irene Turner was winner of the local Prince of Peace Declamation Jontest last Sabbath evening, with the second place going to Miss Maltha fannahill. The contest, which was sponsored hy the Ohio Council of Churches, was noteworthy in that all contestants took their parts with re­ markable ability, and deserve high commendation. m im M H iitiiiiiiiiH iiiN i I CHURCH NOTES | PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev.
