The loss was to Georgetown by a score o f 67-51. The Jackets stayed within striking distance for the better, part o f the game but never wer’e able to be out in front. The half ended with the Kentuckians on the long end o f the 30- 28 count. Inability to put the ball into the basket cost the yellow Jackets o f Ced- arvillle college their final two road games o f the regular season. A t Anderson college, Anderson, Ind., last Saturday night they absorbed the worst beating the locals have taken all year, an 82-32 count, while on Monday they dropped to Bluffton 58-47. On last Thursday night at the lo­ cal gym they dropped a close and well played game to Wllberforce to give the negro team the mithical Greene county collegiate title as they had previously downed the locals at Wilherforce. The count on Thursday's game was 64-57. Against Wilherforce the visitors took an early lead and while the Jackets stayed within striking dis­ tance they were never able to stay out in front except fo r a few minutes at the beginning o f the second half. At Anderson the locals just never were able to get going, although they had beaten them on the local court. Anderson’s 100 foot floor didn't help matters, either._ In the fray with Bluffton the loc­ als stayed close for the first half, hut couldn’t come through. Coach Beattie and three of the team didn’t arrive at the game until the end o f the first half, as they had car trouble en- route.

They had won the right to play in the finals by downing Ross 21-10 in the semi-final round on Friday night on the same floor. Against Ross in Friday’s fray they were unable to get rolling until the final period, but then turned on the heat to win handily. In the final contest with the Beav­ ers, the locals played them on pract­ ically even terms in three out of the four quarters, but the boys from out on the Dayton pike smothered them under in the second period, The first quarter ended with the eventual inners out in front by a two point margin, 6-4, but the locals inability to stop the Beavers and to bit the basket themselves tripped them up in the second frame as the half ended withe Beater on the long end o f the 19-11 count. For the final two quarters the loc­ als played on even terms with the champs but were unt»Ue..to gairuany ground they had lost in the first half.

Scott of the state department of health, div­ ision of dentistry and in cooperation with the county health department. On Wednesday Dr. E. Nelson Reeves, Xenia, examined half of each grade from the fourth through the twelfth and on March 12 Dr. Rus­ sell L. Haines, also of Xenia, will ex- amin the other half of those grades for dental defects. During the time that Dr, Scott was at the local school he examined the teeth of all the children in the first three grades and then for two weeks did corrective work on a selected group o f about 30 children. It was estimated the work would have cost about $250. Dr. Scott was sent by the states department at the insistance o f the county health department and did work in both the Cedarville and Beav­ er schools. He had one of the depart­ ment’s dental trailers which was com­ pletely equipped with all of the lat­ est equipment. During his visit here Dr. Scott ex­ amined 200 pupils and Drs.

BROWN. Member o f Congress The battle over cutting federal spending raged in the congress last week. As required by the legislative reox-ganization act, the joint congress­ ional budget committee brought its report recommending that the federal budget for the coming fiscal year, beginning July 1, be fixed at $31.5 billion, or $6 billion below the amount requested by President Truman. The issue came to a vote in the house on last Thursday, where the Democratic leadership hotly fought the budget ceiling. However, withe every Repub­ licans voting for the $6 billion cut except—Mr. Smith of Maine- and with twelve Democrats support in ; the slash, the resolution fixing the new budget limit at $31.5 billion was adopted by a vote of 239 to 159. Thus the Republicans of the house made good on their campaign pledges to drastically reduce public spending. Just what action the senate may the new budget ceiling as adopted take on the current resolution to fix by the house is still in question at the time this column is being written. By a vote/of 22 to 20 the senate Rep­ ublican conference last week voted to fix the new budget ceiling at $33 billion,* or four and one-ralf billion dollars less than the amount request­ ed by the president. It now appears likely that, if. the senate votes for a smaller cut in the public spending than the six billion dollar reduction fixed by the house, the resolution will have to go to conference; and the final compromise budget limit­ ation may be fixed at $32 or $32.5 Incidently, it should be pointed out that the senate has never been as economy-minded as the house, and the house have usually increased by the senate. That a spirit of economy prevails in that past appropriations made by in the house was also attested to by its action last week in cutting the ad ministration sponsored deficiency appropriation bill by some 54 per cent, dollar deficiency appropriation re quested by OPA the house adopted a provision rescinding or recaptur­ ing nine millions in appropriations Instead of granting the six billion previously voted OPA. Last year the Congress appropriated some hund­ red and thirty million dollars to run OPA at full blast from July 1 to March 31. Most OPA fuctions were brought to an end last / fall, with only rent control administration and sugar rationing in effect during the part several months. Nevertheless OPA « ffidais wen. ahead and sp^rn practically all the huge sum orig- ionaily appropriated and then had audacity to ask the congress for more mo. ey. The congressional answer was to not only refuse additional ap prouriations, but to take away moss CEDARVILLE MAT MUSICAL PLANS ARE UNDERWAY The general' committee to plan for the Cedarville May Musical is be­ ing called together Friday afternoon o f this week by Mrs. A.

MRS, GULTIGE IS TO HEAD ANNUAL GROSS DRIVE Mrs. Arthur Cultice has been ap­ pointed to serve as Cedarville town­ ship fund chairman fo r the annual Red Cross drive, and by the first of March all solicitors are expected to be appointed.

The roar o f guns, the drone of bombers, the booming of great naval guns, the cries o f wounded and dying men have echoed away. But the job o f your local Red Cross Chapter’ s members and the millions of members o f other chapters has "not ended with the formal declaration that the war is now a part o f world history. Thousands of gallant men are slow­ ly fighting back to health—facing long years in wheel chairs or in hos­ pital beds—and some will never he able to go home; thousands of service­ men are in occupation zones; thous­ ands o f recruits are in training in camps and stations in this country, and fo r aii these the Red Cross re­ mains a connecting channel with families and home. The citizens o f our county must know that the Red Cross has not let down thet standards maintained during the war and must be kept in­ formed of the work being done today. THIS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY! The neighborly spirit of wantingto help families in time of distress or need is the foundation of Red Cross home service. Charter responsibility? Yes. But far more than that, the home service workers in the chapter; the field directors in camps and stat­ ions and hospitals in this country, in far-off occupation zones, and in vet­ eran- administration regional offices are personal representatives o f all Americans. Their work, under the flag o f the Red Cross, is made pos­ sible by generous financial support of the citizens of our country—of our entire nation. The month of March has been de­ signated as Red Cross fund month, and during that time the good people of Greene county will he asked to sup­ port its many services by contribut­ ing as generously as possible to the local chapter’s $ 20,000 quota. The Red Cross needs our support— the Red Cross deserves our support. It i§ Ainerica’ s answer to humanity’s challenge!
