SIXTY-NINTH YEAR No. 36 CEDARVIlJEE, OHIO, FRIDAY, AUGST 9,1946 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR CONGRESIONAL HAPENINGSIN WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member of Congress On Inst Friday evening, the 79th Congress adjourned sine die (or with­ out date), not to reconvene unless call ed into Special Session by the Presi. dent. During, the nineteen months the 19th Congress was in session Ameri­ canism s achieved victory in two great wars; the .United Nations came into being, the atomic age began, and a President died iii office. Whatever faults and defects the 79th Congress may have, had, it cannot be charged with lack of courage or in­ dependence. By no Stretch of the im­ agination can it be labeled a “Rubber Stamp” Congress. Time after, time, despite its heavy Democratic, majori­ ties, the Congress either defeated, ox- refused to consider, legislation pro­ posed by the President. At other times the 19th Congress wrote into’law leg­ islation which was opposed by the President.- No other'legislative body in American history ever endured as heavy a propaganda, barrage, or faced so many organized pressure groups, including those consisting of govern­ ment officials and employees, as did the 79th Congress wrote into law leg­ al! the propaganda and pressure ef­ forts had little or no effect on the fi­ nal decisions of the legislators. The 79th Congress refused to enact into law such White House sponsored legislation as-the Compulsory Peace­ time Military Traiing Program, the Army-Navy merger, to continue the draft of eighteen year-olds, the pro­ posed Federal Unemployment. Com­ pensation Law, the so-called “Social­ ized Medicine” Bill, the Fuli Employ­ ment Bill which would guarantee jobs, the Labor Draft Bill, and legislation to continue Price Control and OPA ' without amendments. On the other hand the 79th Congress approved leg­ islation for America’s entrance into the United Nations; to aid in the re­ lief and rehabilitation of other na­ tions; for the establishment of, and participation in an international bank; to grant four billion four hundred- mil­ lion dollars in lpans and credits to Great Britain; to jncrease .Social Se­ curity to America’s .needy; to estab­ lish civilian control ofthe atomic bomb and atomic energy; for Federal aid-in construction of State and local hospi­ tals; to -incr'ease pensions and benefits for.veterans and their dependents; and ’ for the reorganization of the Con gross,, itself. A ' hill designed to re- form and better Labor-Management relations and practices failed of enact- ment because of a Presidential veto. In the closing days of the Congress last week, legislative action’was com­ pleted, on a compromise .Social Secur­ ity Bill which increases the Federal grants to the States for payment of pensions to the needy aged and blind as well as to dependent children. Un­ der this new law each State will re­ ceive from the Federal Government an additional five dollars for each old age blind pensioner and an additional three dollars for each dependent child, -The new law also raises from twenty dollars to twenty-five dollars the top amount the Federal Government will pay each State on a matching basis, for the support of the aged and blind. The same measure also carries a pro­ vision freezing payroll taxes for old age insurance for another year (1947) a t one percent each on all employees and employers. Under the general So­ cial Security Law, the pay roll tax would have automatically increased on January 1st, next, to two and one-half percent each on both employees and employers if this preventive legisla­ tive action had not been taken, Dr. R. Y, Kennon To Retire From Practice Dr, Ralph V. Ketmon widely known veterinarian whose area of practice has embraced five counties including Grjjene Clinton Warren Montgomery and Clark, announced that he is re­ tiring from active practice Aug 3 and will devote his full time to farming in. terests. On this date he will have completed 31 years of practice, spend­ ing the first dozen years at Spring Valley and the remaining 19. in this community. - The retiring veterinary is one of the few practioners of this county who started in horse and buggy days; When Kennon entered practice there were only three veterinarians in the county; later there were 18, and today 14. Forty years ago the veterinary was practically non.existant, most all lfarmers depending upon their own knowledg'e to wrestle with the ills of their stock.. The few who’ practiced Were commonly known as “horse doc- "tors.” Dr. Kennon. estimates that he has treated at least 12,000 horses in this area. And horse Work required night work, he pointed out. Colic and indi­ gestion were the two common ills. “I am impressed by the sentiment .hat farmers- have for their animals, t have seen many farmers break down ind cry at -the death of a horse and :here was no thought of the economic oss,” he recalled. His record book indicates that he ias treated half a million hogs and .0,000 cattle. During his career he has treated animals on every farm -i-om Selma in Clark county to within •i few miles of Lebanon in Warren •ounty. He has worked for three generations ,n some instances. “Today I value nost the friendships that I have es- .ablished. The farmers are still the sest people in the world to work-for,” te declared. ■Dr. Kennon is a graduate of Ohio State University and belongs to the Ohio State Veterinary Medical asso- jiation, Southwestern Ohio Veterinary Medical association, Miami Valley Medical Association and Farm Bureau ind held a fiveyear commission in the reserve Corps during World'War I'. . He has been a life-long member of -he Methodist church here and is also a charter member of the Cedarville Progressive club and has served sev­ eral years as a member of the execu- .ive committee. The Kennons have two married daughters, Mrs. Paul ..Smith,j of near Springfield and Mrs. William Torsell of Springfield. • Soap Now "Must” Item In Numerous Homes Just before adjourning sine die the Congress approved a thirty million dollar appropriation to furnish spec­ ially equipped automobiles for the Use of amputee veterans who can quality for driving licenses to enable some twenty thousand of these wounded he­ roes to get about and to better earn their own living. The new law will he , administered by the Veterans Admin­ istration, Now that the Congress has adjourn­ ed sine die, publication of ’’With a Buckeye in Congress” will be suspend­ ed, If the results of the November elections .permit, and our publisher friends will continue to cooperate, We hope to resume publication of this col umn with the convening of the 80th Congress the first Week of Jantfary, 1847, Clifton &S.

POULTRY TOUR TO MILFORD— County poultrymen are invited to join the tour to the Ohio Valley Egg Auction Thursday, August 8. D, D. Moyer, extension poultry specialist, will accompany the group which will leave the Xenia Post Office a t 9:00 o’clock, Th«vfirst stop will be at the Caldwell Poultry farm a t Batavia, followed by a picnic dinner and a tour of the Egg Auction at Milford in the afternoon. The auction has been in operation a- bout a year in assembling, grading .and marketing, eggs for more than a -thousand flock owners in southeast Ohio countie?. Forty-nine flock own- era are members of the cooperative or. ganization. OLDER YOUTH CAMP— A district Older Rural Youth camp will be held at Camp Clifton August 10-11, for members of senior youth grouper in Greene and adjoining coun­ ties. The camp will open Saturday afternoon August 10, with registra­ tion at 2:00 o’clock and close Sunday evening. Clifford Elliott and Margaret Stor­ mont represented Greene County at the planning meeting and will be in charge of the Sunday afternoon pro. gram. Reservations should be made in adyance a t the county agents office. Soap of all kinds will soon be one of the “must items” most homes will be without. First there is a scarcity of grease, oils and fats. It is said old grease is now selling a t a new high ,jf seven1cents a pound. ' During the “no OPA interim” man­ ufacturers of soap had to purchase all grease at higher prices and then rais. ^d the price to dealers. When OPA was reborn the old price of soap was established. The sbap companies could not break even .when soap products for manufacture were costing twice what they had been and soap manufacture stopped until the OPA grants a higher price. You can wait and get “no” soap a t the former prices or pay a cent or two more and have soap. That is the solution. Grease became scarce when fats and oiis of all kinds were shipped to the old countries. Higher corn prices that hit farmers as a result of European shipments forced farmers to sell their nogs before they became “hog fat”. Just New Deal bungling and med­ dling has gummed up the soap works, Washington has not yet discovered you cannot get grease from a lean hog any more than you can get fat from an old dairy cow. PLAN 11th ANNUAL 4.H CONSERVATION CAMP— Older club members who have an.in- terest in our natural resources will as­ semble at Camp Ohio, August 18-23, for the Uth Annual Ohio 4-H Club Conservation Camp. The camp wfll emphasize that conservation is the use of today’s haiyests so their enjoyment does not destroy tomorrow’s harvests. Each Ohio county is invited to send boy or girl to the Camp, and the faculty each year selects 10 campers to return the following year to act as !tknior leaders. Ohio State University the U. S, Soil Conservation Service, the OhioDivision of Conservation and Natural Resources, and other public agencies provide speakers and teach- ers for the Camp.

Railroad Company Puts In New Grossings The Pennsylvania Railroad Com­ pany has put in new crossing a t Main and Miller streets' that were badly needed and are appreciated. The tracks have been reballisted through towh which was- also needed.

Fair Was Financial Success* - The 107th annual Greene County fair was a financial success according to a report of the treasurer, Brant U. Bell.

RECORD PEACH CROP— A record breaking peach crop is ex­ pected to make this fru it the season’s “best” buy iii the national fruit bas­ ket. The 1946 crop is expected to at­ tain the staggering total of 82,383,000 bushels—more than a million bushels greater than last year’s record yield. The U. S. D. A. and members of the nation’s distributive trades, are ask* ing housewives to use fresh peaches and preserve as great a quantity as practicable during the current canning season. Home preservation will pre­ vent waste, divert buying pressure scarce commodities, and insure a- gainst predicted scarcities and' higher costs of commercially canned fruit. SUMMER IS BEST TIME TO SOW BROOMGRASS- Broomgrass seedings are most like, ly to succeed when the seed is sown in July, August or September. Sowing broomgrass in wheat has almost al­ ways been a disappointment but the few gqod stands obtained were in ear­ ly planted Wheat. Broomgrass seed is rather difficult to sow, the bushel weight being 15 pounds and the seeds are large as well as light. Broomgrass may be seeded with a grain drill after mixing the seed to 15 pounds of fertilizer. The seed, then, is sown through the fertil izer attachment and is planted shal­ low, as possible, even though seme Seed is left on top of the 'ground. When broomgrass is sown In July or August, alfalfa may be planted with it, but the alfalfa planting should be delayed Until the following spring if broom grass Is seeded in September; Xenians on Trip In Canadian “Wilderness” 4 Charles W. Adair, Xenia furniture dealer, and his youngest son, Douglass an' Eagle Scout, ate on a “wilderness trip in Canada for two weeks. The Xenians, equipped with camping packs and canoes, left this week for Lake Wapatamguai in northern Canada and will go from there to Dog Lake. Merchants Won Wil­ mington Contest 9-5 Cedarville Merchant baseballera continued their recent winning ways in a single game a t Wilmington laBt Sunday. The rampaging Cedars crack ed out 10 hits good‘for 9 runs while Frank Cooper was allowing 5 runs on 10 position hits. . ; Hitting and headup base running were the keynoters in the local third straight triumph and fourth vic­ tory in six Southwest Ohio League starts; After'three scoreless stanzas, Cedarville scored twice in the fourth. Second baseman Bill Fife led off With a looping single to center. Then after Hertenstein had- sacrificed him to second, Chick Judy came through with a.long triple for the first run. Judy tallied the second a moment lat­ er on. Catcher Brewer’s squeeze bunt’ single.; The game-winning five run* rally came in the fifth. With one gone, White tripled and Fife squeezed him home with another bunt single. Her- tenstein then Blammed a double and Judy was intentionally passed to fill the socks. After Brewer popped out, Detty came through wit ha sharp sin-, gle, scoring two runners. Both Judy Und Detty scored oh Wilmington mis- plays in attempting to cut them down. Pitcher Cooper’s triple Was instrumen­ tal in a sixth inning score and the fi­ nal run came in the dinth on opposi'- tlpn errors. Cooper breezed along in fine style for six innings, setting down Wil­ mington without a run on four hits while tossing the third strike past 11 batters. Then he tried somewhat be­ hind his big 8-0 lead and allowed three runs in the 7th followed by two in the 9th. He roved equal to the occasion, however, and set the opponents down without'a. run in the ninth. He ended with 14 strikeouts and continued to display (fine control by walking only one man. In three complete games, Frank has issued only two passes to first base. Fife and Conklin divded the Wilmington pitching with Wallace catching. The final totals for. Cedarville were 9 runs, 10 hits and 3 errors against 5 runs, 10 hits and 7 errors for the los­ ers. tiov. To Call Legislature For Fourth Time (7) Gov, Lausche according to reports out of Columbus will call the Ohio legislature back, in session for the fourth special session to consider in­ creasing'old age pensions ,blind re. lief, create a salary study commis­ sion for increasing pqy of state em­ ployees and a commission to create a commission to study tax revenues and their distribution. The governor called a special, session a few weeks ago to take over the rent control situation. -Nothing was done because the federal government was acting on that matter. It cost Ohio $4,560 for the two day session. The members get no extra salary but all former employees are' called on the jobii Now another $4,500, and probably more will be required to open the leg­ islative body again. At a former ses­ sion a sleeper robbed counties of part of the sales tax money. The city del­ egations put one over. When they got home they found they had ‘robbed Peter to pay Paul” and they left the big city counties in the hole. The Ohio Supreme Court recently’ upset a city plan to tax utility receipts and- once more the- city tax spenders found themselves in a deeper hole. Should.the governor in his next mes­ sage urge upon the legislature the old' maxium of-“living withinyout income’ he might be doing a greater favor to all'Ohio citizens; VEIRMNS FILES FOR LOCAL 0PTIM Petitions asking a local option vote locally on the question of banning thcr sale of beer and ■intoxicating liqudrt in the village at the" Nov. 5th'election were filed last Friday with the bhard of elections. # \ Seventeen petitions bearing 356 sig­ natures request banning the said of beer and wine and .17 other petitions' with 648. signatures were against the sale of intoxicating liquors* Only 35 percent of the number*of votes cast a t the last gubernatorial- election in 1944 are required to outlaw beer and wine and 16 per cent to out­ law* liquor.
