BROWN Member o f Congress . As this column is being written, (ahead o f time because of the slow­ ness of mail delivery as a result of strike conditions,) President Truman is preparing to address a joint session o f Congress on the strike situation, Last week he took over, fo r govern­ ment operation, both the coal mines and the railroads. On Friday night, in a radio address to the nation, thirty hours after the rail transportation system of the country had been para­ lyzed by a walkout of the workers, the President served an ultimatum on the officials o f the two Railroad Brotherhoods — the Engineers and the Trainmen — that unless they Return­ ed to work by four P, M. Saturday the Government would make other arra'ng- ments for the resumption of the rail transportation, and that the Army would be used if necessary. The Pres­ ident’s address received general pub_ lie approval, although at the time the President was •speaking there was every indication the rail strike might be settled quickly, and most informed observers "'are fully aware the labor crisis would never have developed had it not been for past favoritism and lack of leadership on the part of the President ■and his Administration. While both the rail and coal strikes will probably be settled by the time this column appears in print, (which BUTTER AND MILK PRICES GO UP TO STOP INFLATION OPA has taken a new route to put a stop to inflation. The price o f milk will go up one cent a quart and but­ ter will rise 11 cents a pound! The ex­ cuse is that all subsidy payments to farmers will be stopped. For two or more years farmers have asked for a higher price on dairy products to meet production costs but the OPA then ob­ jected because that would bring on in­ flation, Subsidies are paid out o f the income taxes and are also a part of the greatly increased national debt. Now the OPA says we must pay more for butter and milk to check danger­ ous inflation. Meantime milk and but­ ter will'cost the income taxpr/er more and at the same time the New Deal is not to lower income taxes because we must continue to be taxed to pay the debt caused by spending hundreds o f millions of dollars on subsidies* You as a dairy product consumer must do a bit of figuring as to when OPA was right about checking inflation. Mark 99 percent of OPA statements to the public as deliberate falsehood given put for the purpose pt deception.

According to Committee members, at the present time there are less than three'pecks o f wheat per person, ex­ clusive of that earmarked for foreign relief purposes, left in . the United States—just about enough to/meet our .minimum" needs until .July 1st.

The Department o f Rural Economic* of Ohio State University applied these increases to the quotations on dairy feeds_for April and estimated the cost of milk production would have been 21c per cwt. higher as-a result o f in­ creased cost of the dairy grain mix­ ture used in calculating milk produc­ tion costs. INCREASE SOYBEAN YIELDS Farmers can- increase their soybean sent OPA price ceilings and regula­ tions it is now impossible to got meat and other food needed to serve the public, and that the restaurant bus­ iness has been operating at a heavy loss for many months* There is every indication the Sen. ate will not only approve, in principle, most o f the House amendments to the Price Control Act, but will probably add other amendments In an effort to bring about a more sensible admin­ istration of OPA and to provide for the orderly and complete liquidation o f that governmental agency early next year. During the past few weeks Chester Bowles ..nd Pnul Porter, and others connected with the _Office ol Price Administration, while loudly talking o f holding the price line, have been busily attempting to appease business and industry with numerous ceiling price increases in an ( effort to stave off drastic changes m the Prlco Control law by the Congress. As an example, last week the third increase in ceiling prices on auto­ mobiles was announced by OPA, with the cost to the consumer being jumped as much as two hundred dollars per car. i All this in spite of the fact that both President Truman and Mr. Bowles solonily pledged tho country, when the Administration’s new wage increase policy was announced, that tho wage boosts provided thereby would not result in higher prices to the consuming public. The average citizen knows better now. The in­ flation which Mr. Bowles has been warning against so loudly is already here, as a result of OPA maladmin­ istration, which stifled reconversion and production, and the adoption of an Unwise price and wage policy. Cer­ tainly the Congress is not responsible fo r the present situation, for OPA is contiol law passed a year ago, which functioning today under the price contains the exact provisions *sug- jested and •vcquosted by Mf* IJoWJca (ihrt other Administration leaders at that time as necessary to hold the price line, NOTICE TO PARENTS , Parents with children that, attend the public schools between the second and eighth grades who wish to take advantage of extra schooling or desire to make up studies are requested to report to Cedarville College at the opening of bummer School,' June 11. the hours for the children will be be- »ween 9 and 10:30 daily, The practice teaching will be under tho direction of Mrs. Bertha Nixon, who has had ex. perience in this work for a number of /ears.

When completed and dried, a block weighs about 20 lbs. and it sells for much less than a dollar. Twenty-four blocks are .made on. one tab]e-lond and 10 tableloads are made in a day. Many uses o f permanently colored blocks suggest.themselves. Stepping- stone to forth-a garden path or a walk on the lawn. Set closely, they serve as a floor for a porch or patio area. They add color and permanence to the top o f a gaaden wall and they are Bturdy enough to be used as a driveway. . They are especially effective when iised to create or emphasize a color scheme. The blocks arc made in red, blue, yellow, green, tan, gray and black. One’s imagination is the use of these seven color mediums, might have a •rreat range, dependent only on need, desire and taste. A Mexican patio might use several of them, in the usual Mexican gay, colors. Quieter shades in a sunny spot o r brighter one in the shade. Perhaps a single color band of blocks about a garden pool or concentric ones of agreeing colors would produce pleasing results. The colors can be made luminous at night. Just fancy your walk o f yel­ low stepping-stones, indicating the way to your own front door. Perhaps one o f the most interesting features o f the color blocks is that one can install their own Walks It can be as simply done as setting the block on a 3 inch bed of gravel.

Alderman has announced a new plan o f operation for John Bryan Forest Park, swim- ning pool at Yellow Springs, now opening for the summer season. Pub­ lic use this year will be on a basis of group reservation, rather than by individual admission as - in the past. Since the poll was a joint venture sponsored by the Boy Scouts and 4-H Clubs in conjunction with the Division of Forestry, those groups have exclu­ sive use of the pool week days from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, and from 2 to 4 p.m. This arrangment extends from June 23 through August 17. ■ On Saturdays, Sundays, and holi­ days, and week days during hours when ,the pool is not in use by the Boy Scouts and 4-H Clubs, group res­ ervations will be accepted on a period basis. MISS MARY JANE WHITE TO MAURY MR. ERNEST COLLINS When the Senate voted 70 to 13 to turn down the proposed Truman draft mbor bill, a stiff rebuke was handed the White House. There was no poll- teal division a» to voting, rather mix- (I and unusual, combination from a political standpoint. - Naturally organized . labor was a- gainst the bill und many favored the bill due to the recent strikes. There were many Republicans and Demo­ unts that joined with the labor elc- nent to defeat the bill. The average citizen was puzzled be­ cause he did not have the whole pic- ure. Had th war been officially de- •laied as ended, the vote was different as we understand it. Under the war power act which the Democrats pass­ ed several weeks ago, regardless of ■ lie fact the was was over, President lYunian could have applied the.draft ict te any set or group, organized or unorganized, farmer or banker and at the point of a bayonet march one and all into the army. , From the organized labor standpoint Congress knew the President would never use his draft act on any CIO set of strikers but lie would against the miners or AFL union. Senator Robert A, Taft was the first to see the loophole in nthe Truman hill and it was not long until both the Republicans and Democrats cam.e to .lis support.
