BItOWN Member of Congress' By order of President SPruman, un­ der his war-time powers. Americans will soon be eating only brown or the whole-wheat bread, in order that dan gerously shprt American wheat and flour supplies may be stretched, and a minimum amount of food needed to prevent starvation sent to Europe, Ac cordipg to the President’s' announce­ ment, the wholerwheat bread order will save some twentyfive million bushels of wheat between now and the next harvest in Jude and July. Yet juqt a few short months ago we .were literally throwing away hun­ dreds' of millions of bushels of wheat on many unnecessary uses,. The. gov­ ernment was even paying subsidies on wheat to be'fed to livestock. The pro. tests of millers and others that such a waste of. our wheat reserves ,would . result in future shortages were dis­ regarded. Even a short month ago your humble Repre$entative/ was un­ able to obtain any. assistance from, tiie- Executive Department that steps, would he taken to conserve our wheat' and flour supply. So once again the American people are being called up-v on-to pay the price for short- sighted and stupid administration.. By a vote of 258 to 155 the House last Thursday passed the Case Bill* which is designed to both prevent and •'control strikes and Labor-Manage­ ment disputes. The bill provides for the . setting up of a national Labor- Management Mediation Board in which Labor, Management , and the -general-publie-wilLhayfi_equal repre- sentation. The Mediation Board will be authorized to take jurisdiction of disputes threatening lockouts or * strikes and attempt to mediate the differences between Labor and Mana­ gement during a thirty day cooling off period, during which time work stop- ages will be outlawed. The measure also makes both Labor and Manage­ ment equally responsible for any.vio­ lation of .employment .contracts arriv- ed.through collective bargaining; pro­ hibits, and permits injunction'against, force and violence,' although guaran; teeing the right of peaceful picketing; 'and awo prohibits boycots and juris­ dictional strikes, and the unionization of foremen ana supervisor. COLLEGE NEWS i Thursday of last week was Day of Prayer for colleges. Cedarville college observed the day with a special chapel program at 10 A. M, The devotional period was conducted, by ‘Ted’ Harsh. The college girls’ sextet sang. The special feature of the observance was an inspiring address by the Reverend E. Howard MCClintock, pastor of. the Northminstor Church, Springfield, O. on the subject / ‘Lighthouse of Christ’. Some of the leading,, thoughts were; Prayer for self and for others brings sweetness and strength. Prayer should* be made for basic needs, strength of spirit and change of the innerman that he may rise to Christ’s standards. Improvement of spirit is -needed to save the flesh, a thought attributed to Gen. Douglas McArthuv. A main source of trouble is with our will and desire. Seeking the.things of men we lose both the things of men and the things of God. The way out is Faith in the Church, radiant witness­ ing by church members—thus estab­ lishing the ‘Lighthouse Of Christ’ that men may be guided into trite harbor of the soul. Home Coming was just that— They came, some 200 of them, a large percent students and grads of he last decade. Many say there was never a better .Home Coming, a few, qual. Much of the success of the meeting rests with Alumni president and secretary,' Mrs. Catherine Finke lurkat and Prof. Benneb McNeal, and .heir committee. A very efficient nelper was Alumni treasurer, Miss Mabel Stormont. Those making the ;rek came from Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky and points be­ tween, and they came early and stay- id late. You see, there was so much co be said and such a short1time to REID MANSION M AY B E HOM E O F U R S O say it. Many are planning to come onck next year to finish the talkfest. First course was a buffet dinner by he Cedarville College Ladies’ Ad­ visory Board under the leadership of he president of the Board, Mrs. Ira D. Vayhinger. The .board sustained heir, fine reputation for fine dinners plus (We want that meat ball recipe for our wife.) The second course was che business meeting. - This meetirig .vas very efficiently presided over by Mrs. Elmer Jurknt. After words of welcome, she called upon Benny Me Neel for a report as secretary, to There is much publicity being given to the story that the former Whitelaw Reid home in New York City may be taken over by the United Nations'se­ curity council for official headquar­ ters. Whitelaw Reid was born .north west of town off the Yellow Springs pike in October 27, 1837 and was educated in this vicinity. He waB the son of Robert and Marion Reid. A t one time there were numerous Reid' families in this township. Whitelaw obtained his first newspaper exper­ ience on the old Xenia News, he being editor from 1858 to-59. He left the county and took a position with the old Cincinnati Gazette and was their correspondent during the Civil War! In 1868 he became editor of the New York Tribune and later owned control­ ling interest which has passed on to his son’, Ogden Mills Reid. The Trib­ u te and Herald were merged a score of years ago. 1 The Reid mansion is a block long and four stories, having brownstone construction. .It 'comprises 30 rooms and during the younger years of Mr. and Mrs. Reid the mansion was the scene of many brilliant social events for New Yorkers as well as leaders m European countries. Whitelaw was minister to France from 1889-1892; Republican candidate for vice president in 1892; special am­ bassador to Queen Victoria’s jubliee in 1897; member of the peace commis­ sion in Paris, 1898; special ambassa­ dor to England for the coronation of -King Edward, T902,^ ambassador to the court of St. James from 1905 un­ til his death in 1914. History records that Mr, Reid dur­ ing his long public career never had a social, political or business scandal attached to his name or his adminis­ tration. Once upon a time when Mr. Reid returned here, as he frequently did to visit his aged mother, in dis­ cussing world events of that day and commenting on an event in France, re­ marked to the grandfather of the Writer, that it is easy to live a ‘ Christian life anywhere if you have been'raised right.” Both Robert and CedarvilleCollege To * Campaign For $15,000 Remodeling Fund President Ira D* Vayhinger of Ce- <jarville College announced a t the an­ nual alumni ,meeting of 200, a plan to raise $15,000 for. the rehabilitation, repairs and remodeling of campus buildings in preparation for. an up­ swing in enrollment. Included in the project will he the fitting of the Rife dwelling into boys’ dormitory, repair of Harriman Hall, the girls’ dormitory, the science building and the Carnegie library building. President Vayhinger stated that of this sum he is' proposing'; half the amount be subscribed, by the alumni association headed by Dr. Jqhn W. Bickfltt, pastor of the United Presby-. terian church of Clifton. He also - toted that a considerable amount w ,. be expected from this rommunitj. Three teachers are to be added to the faculty next fall, one in the science depratment,, another in mathe­ matics and one in physical education. It was announced by Mrs. Elmer Jur- kat, president of the ,alumni associ­ ation, that Mrs,.

A State Department official uiso told the committee of Pauley’s alleged a t­ tempt to interfere in a Mexican oil deacon the basis of further contribu­ tions to the Democratic National Com­ mittee, Many observers believe i. popular songs led by Mrs will soon become necessary for the President to withdraw his nomination of Pauley—but the whole matter nthy not end there, for there is considerable talk that a thorough Congressional in­ vestigation of Other of Pauley's activ­ ities, in connection .with the raising of Democratic campaign iunds, should be conducted. ------- --------- The War Department has flatly turned down the recommendation of & Senate subcommittee investigating the demobilization program, that all fath­ ers of minor children be discharged from military service promptly. At the. present time there is said;to be seme seven hundred thousand such, fathers in the Army alone. The War Department has advised the Senate committee that all but one hundred and twenty thousand of these fathers are expected to be discharged by July 1st.

Mrs. Jurkat then asked President Vayhinger to set forth plans in the making for a great­ er Cedarville College. After %. gen­ eral statement of the hopes and>needs of the college, President Vayhinger jointed out the specific, immediate .ceds. At the December meeting of the Board of Trustees a campaign to raise $15,000 for the rehabilitation and-improvement of.the college plant, building, gym and farm. This effort dormitories, main building, science is necessary because during the war times needed repairs could not be made due to scarcity of everything I needed. Dr. John W.

This course was dosed b> a sing fest of college and Mildred Bickett Creswell with Mrs, Eleanor Bull McCallister at the j.iano, Tho .third course was a basket ball game between CC varsity directed by coach Bogcr and an alumni team of grads and former students. It was a fine game.

The Agricultural Department hints that it will prohibit the use of wheat in any kind of feed for animals, and for domestic use for bread alone. The mixed flour will not meet with' favor for pies and cakes, according to bakers, 1 he department now wants farmers to reduce poultry flocks by 17 percent and ten percent less turkeys. It is almost impossible now to get chick feed or even feed for laying hens. As the season approaches feed dealers say there will not only be less feed for chicks but it will be impossible to keep up the quality of former years. Reducing the poultry flocks this spring means less poultry this sum­ mer and a great drop in egg produc­ tion thisrfall amPwinter."— Memorial Service For L t Wallace Bradfute taking part is easily understood.
