Americana For Am rln —America For American* SPETT-NINTHYEAR No. 3 m * ’ip CEDARVU j LE, OHIO, FRIDAY, * DECEMBER 14,1945 wm PRICE, ?1,50 A TEAR i u > u w i r e w « m i t i U R w i l C O o R f f l n i l M P P E M R S M WAnmeioN By CLARENCE J . RROWN Member of Congress The Pree|deat’s message to Con- |H U early last week, requesting en .Moment of legislation designed to famish the government with informs- tie* sad authority which would he of benefit toward preventing strikes ami in se tting labor disputes, will uadoutoedly hrin? early legislative action from the Congress, despite pro­ tests of many prominent labor leaders. The. Bonne already has ..pending, on ita..e*!att£af a bill from the Military Affairs Committee Which would make labor unions equally responsible with management for the violation of any empioymenb contract though , made through collective bargaining, The pending hill 'would also outlaw politi­ ck! expenditures in primaries, con­ ventions and general elections, by either, corporations or labor unions. Under the rule granted by the Bouse, this bill could be further amended to include .the 'President's suggestions. However, Congressman Ranispeck, acting chairman of the. House Labor Committee has announced his com­ mittee will go to work, promptly on the preparation of. legislation to carry out the President’s suggestions. It seems probable the President can. ob­ tain from Congress almost any kind o f labor legislation he may request to meet the present disturbed //employ­ ment situation. Approximately eighteen months ago o r nearly a year before V-E Day, Congress passed the. G.I. Bill of Rights for the benefit of veterans of World War Two. The bill, which at the time of passage was considered the most comprehensive'piece of vet­ eran’s legislation even-enacted by an American Congress, has, in actual practice, proved completely inadequate . to raeet many of the needs of our vet­ erans. So, during the past few months Congress has been considering a- mendments to .the original act, and jtu t last week sent to the White Bouse a new bill which will make -many-changes and modifications'in original law Among them are: (1) Special allowances, including travel, for the furnishing and fitting of prosthetic appliances, such as false teeth, glass eyes* artificial limbs, etc., by the Veteran’s Administration; (2) Allowances for living expenses under, the educational provisions of the G.I. Bill of Rights will be increased from fifty to sixty-five dollars for single veterans, and from seventy-five to ninety per/ month for married vet­ erans; (3) All restrictions placed up- 011 applications fop educational bene­ fits have been removed; (4) Veterans loans guaranteed by the Federal Gov­ ernment, will be made available.for six years instead of two years as un­ der the provisions of the old law; (5) Approval of th Veterans Administra­ tion will no longer be required to ob­ tain a loan; (6) Repayment period of farm and business loans extended from twenty years to thirty-five yew*- Tha House has passed and sent to the Sonata a bill fixing the size of th* postwar Navy. Under It the en­ listed strength of the Regular Navy will' b« five hundred thousand, and the Marine Corps one hundred thou­ sand. The new Navy will have fifty- eight thousand officers and the Mar­ ine Corps eight thousand. Of these totals* one; hundred and twenty thou­ sand enlisted men and ‘seventeen thousand officers will he assigned to Navy aviation; twenty-two thousand officegaand three hundred and four­ teen thousand enlisted men attached to Flpet; png the remaining of­ ficers apd mep ^signed to shore es­ tablishments apd to training duties, pop our readers who have been won­ dering why i t la difficult-to .buy cer­ tain necessities, here is a bit of in- fpm»th>n, resenty developed by the Ifepd Committee of the Sepate< form­ erly the Truipan Committee), as to Army reeerve supplies, which m§y be int®re*ti $pnie of ithe articles ppd ' amwhts are: Blapkets 63,000,000; abacs and co rne t hoots 68,000,000; overcoats 8,360,000; wool shirts 42,- 200,000; flannel shirts 24,580,000; cotton drawers, 110 , 700 , 000 ; woolen drawers 42,000,000; socks 7,700,000 dMea pairs; bed sheets 31,000,000; pBlew eases 2$,460,000; bath towels 113,700,000.

The genial and accomplished editor of the Herald called attention to my birthday, Decamber 1st, 1046. His kind words and the sheaf of letters causa mo to see [that on the ninety three side there’arp friends just as kind and cheery -«s. in years left be Wnd. Really, folk,, it is-Sonia jump to top n ninety-two fence, and not knock off the tojr rail! My coat tails caught a little,.and ! did not scamper off like a colt high-tailing^away. But keph going, slewed down a bit and with a. cane. :The many, cordial,good wishes have embalmed the day in a bed of roses, vesting in a glorious sunset. When birthdays .are iirlthe offing, children want them to btrny up. Young people are not so anxiajiia. From twenty- five to fifty,, thit^rs just go along as the milestones pah** After fifty you wish you could get- your, foot on the brake, even hoping for a jam or some­ thing. that would} stop the continual go i. But-the gracious Lord who knows best keeps us moving along, but im­ mortal until onr. work is done. However, yaarsi do not change the young, feeling: Wjjdking with unsteady step, or sitting iqithe sunshine on the porch; or- in that shade of the wide- spreading tree, si* you look out over the. fields, the. cattle, the busy men, yon feel aa young as when :running .the cows out of fhe com. Jump up, and go! Step out! Why not? Well, aided by the chaih arms, you stand a little for engine tp warm up; and no speed signs are necessary You have noticed how the'small boy, as he runs, h its’his pants with his heels. Presently the heel-lift,, slowly, inperceptably. gets a bit less and still less, all thrafcgh the years; un­ til it has died down to a short step. AH have seen a, poem, including the following lines. So far as known the poem appeared first in McGuffy’s Reader. It has lots of truth in it, and, believe it of not; we old folks see joy in the line^ as well as anybody. The picture as /recalled, is an old man on the road among the trees, with the soliloquizing boy on the fence: thus— “I know it is a sin For me to sit and grin A t him here! i But the old three-cornered hat, And the breeches and all that, Are so queer.” One just naturally falls into that state—perfectly satisfied and smiling; quite enjoying old age witticisms. How different life is now! Yes sir! To jump from 1853 to 1945 is some mighty stride! Thera was no Cedar­ ville paper in 1853, with Editor Bull to hold the Ship of State steady in stormy political seas; to tell the. people of daily happenings; to post them on the price of h°g8» that the creek is bo low that Martin Barber’s sawmill chugged to a full stop. But Dr’s. Stewart and Kyle reported many babies and more in the offing, You see, Cedarville, way back, set the 2000 mark—800 in sight, and’1200 on time In 1853 the gotfd farmers wife could not seal fruit. John would have the carriage a t the door, the horses steamed up. Out she would run with cans boiling hot, and shout, “Ready!” Away went the team, for the time- worthB, tail and manes flying, a race of three or four miles to seal while hot. Rubbers, overshoes and rubber boots were unheard of, The children, went to school rain, snow, hail, or shine; and no. umbrellas. As a moral force and badge of authority the teacher had two or three switches by her desk. The unlucky boy, when caught red-handed would be given a whipping He would bawAike a calf, and tiptoe to his seat* Behind his book he would whisper to his seatmate—“I never felt it.” Probably that is just what the teacher intended, just an object lesson. « In the middle of the nineteenth century Cedarville began to stress education. The brick and the Grove were presently united in the build­ ing on Xenia Avenue. Classes grad­ uated each year,. A School diploma was prized. Education was looking up. In the closing years of the century a college was talked around, soon there was a building and classes be­ gan. Once on its feet, splendid work has been going on ever since, Al­ ready in the town and country miles around have many graduates; ohi not a tew from fa r away towns, Thq College has an eyetwidening influ­ ence—$ long, stride from 1853* But there la no dam with its beau< tifql back sweep of water to the forks sb in 1853, No sawmill, no flour mill, no limekilns, no binding mill, no blacksmith shop, no wagon maker) (OoMtiNDiK) Gat P a « k F oo t), AEONG FARM FRONT B, A.

In looking ahead at probable feed supplies, more feed grains will be available than could be obtained in 1945. A few tight spots appear lik­ ely in protein feeds as the cotton crop is smaller than, than that of a year ago and soybeans are. likely to be slow in reaching the mills. There will be some increase in fish meal production, and a larger supply of feeding grades of milk is expected. A 24 percent mash is recommend­ ed for an all-mash turkey starter, for a pullet and turkey grower, for a laying mash for hens, ahd for 'a breed­ er flock mash for both turkeys and chickens. A 32 percent .mash which can be diluted with grain as a chick or turkey grower and for laying hens and to. .which dried ijnilk or whey can be added when used as a feed for oreeding flocks. * These rations make full use of home grown.grains and of soybean meal and alfalfa meal which are common Ohio prqiluets. Directions for adding manganese to the mash and foi^sup- plying vitaminB at certain times are included in the recommendations. Formula for mixing the rations cither a t home or for having them mixed a t commercial plants are given in Poultry Phinters No. 89, published oy the agricultural- extension service, Ohio State University. Copies may be obtained from this office by re­ quest. VICTORY BONDS MAKE GOOD CYCLONE CELLAR In the final week of the Victory Loan drive, government bonds make an excellent cellar if any violent ec­ onomic storms appear in the future and as a good brake on unwise spend­ ing in a period when it appears that some mushroom industries may put more haste than quality into their goods. Bonds are good irivestments for farm­ ers. Farm income has been high dur­ ing the past three years, and. Greene County farmers have postponed buy­ ing a lot of equipment during periods of scarcity, with the intention of be­ ing ot the head of the line in postwar buying. The policy of buying bonds and earmarking them for future purchases of equipment, to build or repair buildings, or for any other of a hun­ dred worth-while purposes still is a good economic practice. The govern­ ment uses the money obtained from bond Bales to bring Bervicemen home from battle fronts, issuing mustering out pay, for hospitalization of wound­ ed still requiring medical care, and for rehabilitation of those who have disabilities acquired in service.

Clarence Brown Given Endorsement RAT CONTROL SUGGESTIONS Keeping rats out of the corn crib can be done in two ways. One is by using repellents, the other is by rais­ ing the crib. Heavy applications of lime repel the rodents, while raising the crib at least two feet, and isolat­ ing it from other buildings, baffles the rat by removing his protection, Juvenile Gets Stiff Sentence As Deserved Juvenile Judge W.B.- McCallister, Jr, placed the heavy hand of the law on 16-year-old youth from New Bur lington. The boy was charged with driving-recklessly and also had no driver’s permit as required by law, The Court ordered the boy to sell the car, turn the money over to his mother and-was denied the right to drive a car for five years, or until he was 21 years of age. REV. HOBT.

Chairman and secretaries of the various County Republican Central and Executive Committees of the Seventh Congressional District met in the Shawnee Hotel, Sringfield, Monday night at a dinner to endorse three candidates for re-election. Nine counties were represented at the meeting. Congressman Clarence J. Brown addressed delegates on the national situation and following this, a reso­ lution was presented by Russell D. Rouch, chairman of the Clark County Republican Committee, endorsing ■Congressman Brown for renomination and election to Congress from this District in 1946. The resolution was adopted unanimously. A second resolution was then pre­ s e n ts by Don Gibbs, chairman of (he Republican! Executive Committee of Champaign County, endorsing for reelection Miss Margaret Baker as State Committeeman from the Sev­ enth District. Adoption of the reso­ lution was unanimous. The name of Raymond B. Howard was presented by .Dr. J.L. Parrott, chairman of the Republican Execu­ tive Committee for Clinton County, for rejection as State Cientral Com­ mitteeman from this district and this ^solution was adopted unanimously. Congressman Brown led the three nominee in expressing his gratitude to , the delegates for their support. The following counties were represnt-, ed at the meeting by chairman and secretaries: Clark, Logan, Champaign, Union, Madison, Greene, Clinton, Warren and Fayette. Text of the resolutions endorsing Congressman Brown: “WHEREAS it is of vital import­ ance to our country that men of proven worth and ability be returned lo our legislative halls in Washington, m order to insure a permanent peace for the world, safeguard American freedoms, preserve individual initntive and to return the government to the people; arid “WHEREAS, it is of equal import­ ance that Republicans avoid internal conflict and dissension to end that the strongest possible ticket may be presented to the voters in 1946; and “WHEREAS, the Republicans of the Seventh district of Ohio have in tha person of the*Hon* Clarence J* Brown of Blanchester, O., an indi­ vidual who has the qualities to fill the office of Congressman with credit to himself and honor to the district, and who has by his long years of public servioe proven his ability, in­ tegrity, and untiring devotion to duty; ‘THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Chairmen and secretaries •of the Vari6Us County Republican Cen­ tral and Executive Committees of Lhq Seventh Congressional District of Ohio, asseHibled a t ’Springfield, O. this 10th day of December, 1945, that in recognition of Mr. Brown’s 'record in Congress and his ability to serve his people and his country, he be en dorsed for re-nomination and election to Congress from this district in 1046.” The endorsement of Miss Bake: “WHEREAS, the year 1946 promises to be a year of opportunity for the Republican party if harmony and peace within the party can be main­ tained; and “WHEREAS, it is obvious that only by means of diligent and un­ ceasing effort on the p a rt of party leaders will victory be the reward of Republicans in 1946; and “WHEREAS, State Central Com# mitteewottian, Margaret E.

Goss, master of the Na­ tional Grange, gave “members an in­ sight as to how agriculture is rated by the Truman administration. He told of his appeal to the President and to Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach, that agriculture be represented a t the recent labor and management con­ ferences in Washington. Both refused to consider it neces­ sary that agriculture be represented as it was “too small potatos” to have any part in such-a conferenpe.He predicted both the President and the Secretary are ignoring the welfare of the nation by refusing to consider agriculture in deliberations that‘would be directly affected by whatever act­ ion was taken. As matters stand ag­ riculture will reap the grievances of both labor and industry. Goss stated agriculture had made no progress in the past twenty-five years and urged the Grange to press its efforts to abolish the federal pro-' gram of crop control and- crop sub-. sidy, which he asserted would event­ ually plunge the U.S. into a greater , economic crash than the one We faced as a result of the 1920’s ”, Swift &Co. Takes Over Kroger Plant Swift &Co., Chicago, has purchased the Kroger packing plant1a t Colum-. bus and the livestock yards a t GhiUi- cothe, Kenton and Highland) A-big battle looms between the farm co­ operatives livestock companies and the big packers who are purchasing their own livestock yards over the coun­ try and also operating smaller pack­ ing plants to eliminate the shipping costs'.

Auditor Lists Amounts „J o Be Paid Library . County Auditor James J. Curlett has made a blanket announcement* to all village police courts, including, Xenia, of the amount 'that must be paid during the year 1946 to the Law Library association a t Xenia.

The above figures were determined froin the 1946 budgets as filed by thc^ municipalities. , The villages of Greene co., for the past several years have waged an ex­ tended court battle protesting the as­ sessments so issued. Although the latest decision was against the village, it is believed that an attempt may be made to take it to the supreme court. Dr. Harold E. Bay Heads County Medicos Dr. Harold E.
