There is a growing feeling throughout the country and in Congress, tha t the run-of-mine landlord, who has had his rents frozen since 1941, is in need of some relief and is entitled to fair consideration by his govern­ ment. Some want to bring an end to alL ren t control on Juno 30. Others want the control turned back to the states. Still others think the present system should be continued to Dec­ ember 31.

DAVIDSON SIXTH IN WALNUT CONTEST Out of 692 entries, William J. Davidson, of Xenia won sixth place with his entry in Ohio's Black Wal­ nut Contest sponsored by the Ohio Nut Growers association. Mr. David­ son’s entry of 25 walnuts which were from a tree on his property on the Old Springfield Pike are extreme­ ly thin shelled, almost one-third kernel. The purpose of the contest was to find trees that bear the best wal­ nuts in the state so that seedlings or scions from these good trees could be propagated for home use. Judges measured, cracked, and weighed sample nuts to determine the best “crackers” . One of the im portant points in scoring was the high percentage of kernel, also ker­ nels that came out readily in quart­ er s andhalves and were bright in color.

With tjbe volume o f long distance calls at a new peak—more than double the number in 1940, and w ith an increasing number of local calls, an expanding force o f operators is doing the biggest telephone job in history. Back of this accomplishment is a group o f women, whose collective experience adds training and sk ill to the enthusiasm of young, alert operators. Of a total traflScforce o f 8,400 women, 1,000 o f them have 20 years or more service and close to 500 have more than 25 years service. It is this group of experienced womenwho have made the phrase “The Voice w ith a Smile” famous and1who cam be relied upon to keep this nation's telephone service the best in the world. T H E O H I O B E I L T E L E P H O N E C O . * i “The Light of the .World is Jesus!” Who does not remember with what delight we as children sang, “Come to the light, ’tis shin­ ing for thee . . . The Light of the World is Jesus." How precious was the tru th that thus flooded our souls! Has the passing of the years dimmed the beauty and glory of that light in our hearts and lives? Do we need it renewed? God is will­ ing and ready. Jesus is the light, and just as the sunlight sheds its glory on an awakening world at dawn, so Christ sheds abroad the light; of God in -the hearts of be­ lieving men. The writer of these lessons pens these words with the prayer that as this portion of God’s Holy Word is Studied and taught, that light may break forth on many a soul lost in the bewilder­ ment of this dark world. Our study centers around three simple words fraught with beauty and rich in meaning. I. Light (John 8:12-16). The text says, “Then spake Jesus.” When? Just after he had silenced the hypocritical accusers of a woman taken in . sin, and had spoken the word of peace to her troubled soul. She was to “go and sin no more” because she had met him who is the light of the world. They "that follow him “shall not walk in darkness” ; they are the children of light, they have the very light of life. How sad it is that with the light of the world shining in all its bright­ ness, men loved their own darkness. The Pharisees, instead of receiv­ ing the Light, had to argue, and to do it on a low, fleshly plane. They even accused Jesus of being a liar. Think of thatl So it is that men may reject -the Light of God and go on into a dark­ ness made deeper because they have seen the light. Now we look a t our second beau­ tiful word. How sweet it sounds as v/e repeat it— II. Freedom (w . 31-33). Free! Four letters, but what a depth of meaning! Chains Jhave fallen off, prison doors are open. The one who was bound is free. But here we are concerned with an even more important liberty, the free­ dom of the soul. Many there are who boast of their independence, but who are merely slaves. Jesus said: “Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin” (v. 34) not its insstcr ' How shall they be freed? Note three things in these verses. (1) A condition—“If ye continue in my word.” This means not only a pro­ fession of faith, but a daily appro­ priation and realization of his truth tn life. (2) A promise—“Ye shall 'know the truth,” The philosophies of men profess to be a seeking after truth, but how few there are who took to the one place where it can be found—in J qsus Christ. (3) A result—“The tru th shall make you tree.” Truth always sets free. Men are enslaved because, as in some foreign lands, they have not had the opportunity to learn the truth (we have failed to send it), or because they have rejected it. Freedom and light can lead only to III. Vision (John 9:1-5). This is one of the most instructive passages in Scripture. A man born blind is seen by Jesus. His disciples note his interest and begin to theor­ ize on a theological question. They had learned so little of the com­ passionate spirit of Jesus that they saw in this blighted life only an il­ lustration of a theological problem, May God help us that we may never be so blind. Jesus goes a t once to his blessed work. He was in. the world to do the works of God. He and the Father always work. Let us follow his blessed example. The King’s busi­ ness requires haste. Let ps work “while it is day, the night cometh when no man can work,” By a loving and gracious act, Jesus stirs in tfje heart of the man. that faith which causes him to go, to wash, and, glory to God, he sees! » Such a personal experience of the divine power of the Son of God leaves no doubt in the man’s mind that the One who caused him to see “ is a prophet.” All of a men’s doubts concerning the deity of Jesus Christ disappear when he becomes i his Saviour. / f Do not fail to read the remainder i of the chapter and note how this ; man’s faith, was. victorious in the ' face of-trials, persecution, and even of excpxnmut^hSdnijJlor outside the temple he met MsUs and took him „ as his Lord.

The annual seed growers school is set for February 19-21,.and the association’s annual banquet is Wed­ nesday evening, February 19. D. F. Beard, Ohio State university, secretary of the association, says its membership are producing certi­ fied seeds for use by Ohio farmers. The seeds are grown under sUper- visionand the fields are checked for presence of plant diseasas and nox­ ious weeds. The seed, then, is inspect­ ed after harvest. WATER TABLE UP ' There was a rise of about three feet in he water table in Greene county during the past year according to a 'report from tha Ohio water re­ sources board. During the past three months there was a rise of 2.75 feet in the water level. Readings are made by the water level in wells, by a number of Greene county farmers who report their find­ ings to the state board. WHEAT STOCK LOWEST' IN 6 YEARS. The supply of wheat in Ohio on -Jan. 1 , amounted to 20,589,000 bush­ els or about 21 per cent less than a year ago, according to the federal- state crop reporting service. Of this amount more than half was on farms with the remainder in mills, elevat­ ors and warehouses. The nations stocks were the small­ est in six years and about half of of the 1943 stocks. The chief causes of the present small stocks after the record 1946 crop, are the low carry­ over last July and the heavy millings and exports in recent months. CUT IN LAMB CROP Livestock experts predict the smallest lamb crop in 20 years to oe prcdqced in 1947, This will be the sixth year that the year’s crop is smaller than the preceding one. HOMEMADE WATER HEATER Warming the water for poultry helps winter egg production. A wat­ er heater can be made from a piece of down spout made water tight at one end, a light bulb, and enough sand to fill the spout Discuss County Road Markers at Meeting: County commissioners attempting to learn the cost of a proposed county-wide project of marking roads and highways, disclosed Mon­ day a preliminary survey shows ap­ proximately 500 intersections in the network requiring identification. County Engineer Robert S. Crane, whose office is tabulating the inter­ sections, estimated more than 4,000 feet- of two inch pipe would be needed for the sign standards. If such a pro­ ject were undertaken, it is believed at least a year’s time would be need­ ed for the county highway depart­ ment to erect all sign posts. While Greene County Pomona Grange and other organizations have agitated for road identification mark­ ers, commissioners explained they have considered such a plan several times in the last four years, find­ ing either the cost prohibitive or the materials scarce. Financing of such a project must alsi be given study since a $ 10 -cost- per-intersection is believed conser­ vative, running the entire project well over $5,000 if approved. Whether the money could be obtained from the general fund or road fund would also have to be learned, commission­ ers said. ___________ Coca Cola Maintains Same Low Price With the consumer able to count almost on the fingers of one hand the number of food products that have not risen in price, it is refreshing to note that you can cool off your marketing headaches by putting a nickel in the slot and enjoying an ice-cold bottle of Coca-Cola. Over the counters, also, in the great maj­ ority of retail spots, Coke is still selling for 5 cents, six bottles for a quarter. The reason for this phenomenon, according to Holmes Collins, mana­ ger of the Coca-Crla Bottling com­ pany, is tha t there has been no in­ crease in the wholesale price of Coca- Cola, and no increase is contemplated. Mi*. Collins further commented that Lewis Jackson, instructor of aero­ nautics at Wilberforce, owns a plane and the university owns another to be used for trainig. Temporary arrangements have made with the Xenia Aviation Co., which operates Port Xenia, to provide the traditional price, is being main-^ flight instruction. The allocation tained despite sugar rationing, now would cover operations, equipment entering its sixth year. “Coca-Cola and ther expenses. .. j Bottlers are still operating at 60 per State Aviation Director C.

Wilberforce Granted Money for Aviation Wilberforce university has estab­ lished a tentative aviation program, destined to become a reality soon with the announcement in Columbus, Saturday,, that an allocation of $ 33 , 750 had been granted by civil aero­ nautics administration for an air training course a t the partially state- controlled school. C. C. Jenkins, superintendent" of the college of education and indust­ rial arts, disclosed .in the absence of Dr. Charles H. Wesley, university president, that about 250 acres be­ tween Wilberforce and Xenia are be­ ing. sought as site for an airfield, making possible the addition to the school’s curriculum of a flying course.

But mil­ lions yet unborn w ill look back to the "Edison Era” with gratitude to. the man. whose, inventive, genius z did so much for humanity. In the field of electrical inventions, alone, Edi­ son’s discoveries gave birth to great new industries, created-thousands upon thousands of jobs, and gave new comforts, new conveniences and new. cultural opportunities to millions. As the whole civilized, world honors the:memory o f Thomas Alva Edison on the centennial anniver­ sary of his birth, those who knew him. and-worked with him proclaim Edison one. o f history’s .greatest inspirations to youth. . - From early boyhood throughout his hmg- life o f service, Edison was fascinated by seemingly insol­ uble problems.- His* insatiable- curiosity* and en-- thusiasm in finding tbe answers led him to work as many ar 72 consecutive-boursewben absorbed with an invention.
