/ • ' Americans fo r America — America For Americans SIXTY-NINTH YEAR No. 15 w r VI IH •By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member o f Conferees A ven ge meat prices to the con­ suming public will be increased by 1 1-2 cents per pound to take care of the sixteen cent an hourwege increase recently granted members o f the var­ ious meat packer’s unions who went out on strike early this year*. This meat price increase was granted by Chester Bowles, the new Director of , Stabilization, who just a short time ago insisted Federal subsidies On meats be continued In order to hold the line against inflation and hold down prices to the consumer. Mr. Bowles now seemingly believes it is not inflationary to increase wages and in turn, increase food prices to pay therefor. Somthow or other it all just does not add up., I COLLEGE NEWS The varsity basketball team added another win to the ledger last Mon­ day night at Alford Gym when the First Methodist team went down to defeat by the score of 4(^24, It was A good game* All the men on both teams were ex-service men.

President Vayhinger was the guest preacher fo r the South Charleston Presbyterian Congregation last Sab­ bath. The United States is now in the middle o f one o f the greatest butter shortage in its history. Never has ' butter been' in such poor supply. Ac­ cording to authoritative sources, there is' available, in storage and in the retail markets, less than two pounds o f butter fo r each person, in the Un­ ited States. Normally the national butter ‘ reserve runs from fifteen to thirty pounds per person. The reason given fo r the present shortage is that thri: ceiling price placed on butter by OPA is so much lower, in proportion, igr the ceiling price placed on butter fa t used fo r other purposes that it is unprofitable to manufacture butter, Senator Vandenburg o f Michigan, who has just .returned from serving ^ as one *of the American delegates to the United Nations Assembly in Lon­ don, has made a strong speech in the Senate, in which he demanded that the United States take a firm position in connection with/world affairs, and especially that this country stop ap­ peasing Russia. He pointed out that, in recent months this nation's foreign policy makers had failed to stand up, and defend our own rights and the, rights o f weaker nations;'‘and insisted upon all nations, including Russia, giving up' to the spirit,' as well as the letter, Of the United Nations Charter, as well as the provisions o f other in­ ternational agreements, On Thurs­ day, Secretary o f State Byrnes, in a public address, annopneqd the United States would follow a firmer inter­ national policy in the Tuture.v Everything is set for a fine Bible Reading Contest o f Cedarville College Women, Sabbath evening, March 17, The patroness o f the contest Miss Margaret H.

Early last November, when the .post war tax reduction bill was up for passage, the measure was declared to be a temporary one, and it was an­ nounced a new bill, which would re­ duce war time excise taxes in 1046, and income taxes in 1947, would be s enacted early, during the new session o f Congress, this year. Now it seems to be the Administration’s policy not to, consider any tax reduction legis­ lation during present session of Con­ gress.

SHORT FEED SUPPLIES Prospects o f getting feed for live­ stock arc worst than at anytime dur­ ing the war and apparently the only solution for the situation is to reduce herds and flocks to correspond to pros­ pective food supplies. “ The record breaking wheat crop produced last year is already getting so low that the carry-over at harvest will be be­ low normal. This disapppearance o f wheat com­ plicates the livestock feeding sitUa?. tion, as feed shortages in wartjm« were partially relieved by deverting wheat to livestock feed, Wheat now is urgently heeded fo r human food as farmers are asked not to Teed wheat to livestock. Protein concentrates are scarce so pouitrymen and dairymen who use these concentrates most will feel the first pinch o f the feed shortage. Gov­ ernment regulations.already limit the amounts of concentrates which manu­ facturers can use to make commercial mixed feeds, Dairymen and Taisers of beef cattle and sheep can increase their feed supply by applying nitrogen fertilizers to pasturers. The rise of such fertil­ izers will give 10 to 14 dayB earlier pasture ahd the amount and quantity of the forage will bd improved. , VICTORY GARDENS NEEDED Since there will be so much food needed for local consumption and ship ments abroad, victory gardens must continue to be high on the production list. Aside from the material returns from the victory garden, there is fh « matter o f health to be considered* Most families who Bpent some o f their „imt in their gardens during the wap will want to continue that practice, Adequate supplies o f garden fertil. izer will be available, Most gardens require the application o f about four pounds per 100 square feet.

Next to the picture o f disgust came the withdrawal o f Bptftht Me Canister & Gihney as .legal advisors, or village solicitors. The great danger in .this muddie is that the village may be cut o f f from depositing sewerage on the paper mill land until a disposal plant is provided. Council has little op nothing to say in the end about the location o f a dis posal plant. The State Board efj Health ha* approyed the site proposed and it was on this basis .that bid* could be asked. Council has been handicapped jn the matter due to war conditions and the' fact that bids exceeded the estimate. We cannot continue to straggle along as we have in the past. Legal notice has been served that Mr. Tyson idoes no longer desire live sewerago on. his land. The village has no other alter­ native than proceed to erect to sew­ erage disposal plant. Property own­ ers without sewerage connections are anxiously waiting'for the. benefits' Tito property owners iwho, are connected would rise in ii/dignation 'should the village get in position that Mr. Tyson should, get an injunction closing the Only outlet we haye for sewerage dis­ posal. It must he said to fairness to Mr. Tyson, he has been tolerant. He even offered an ac;re o f land fo r the disposal plant. How events happen’ from now. on may o f hourse cancel all former offers. .
