Bledsoe, ESN, Commander of Cruiser Division One, StormDisrupts Phone, Power ServiceinCountry Repair crews of utility com­ panies were at work in Greene conuty early this week restoring service disrupted by a severe electrical storm early Sunday evening. Hundreds of subscribers o f the Ohio Bell Telephone com­ pany and the Dayton Power and Light company were without ser­ vice as a result o f the wind which felled many trees. The storm, accompanied by lightning, a seventy-mile-an-hour wind and a heavy downpour o f rain, struck shortly after 5 p. m. The principal damage occurred in Xenia’s west end and the western section of Greene county, al­ though scattered reports were re­ ceived from other areas. Broken wires, resulting from falling trees and limbs from trees were responsible fo r the major damage, both utilities reported. Ohio Bell said service o f 450 sub­ scribers in the Xenia area was disrupted and it will be several days before all repairs can be made. A construction crew of ten men was sent from Dayton Monday morning to aid in mak­ ing repairs and workmen o f the Davey Tree company, Rent, also were called to assist with the work. DPL officials were unable to estimate the number o f subscrib­ ers who were without electricity but reported damage as “ exten­ sive.” Xenia police and the sheriff's office received numerous reports o f felled trees. A large oak, four miles west o f Xenia, was: blown across the highway during the storm. One-way traffic on Route 35 was in effect several hours until the debris was cleared away. Tops of two 100-year-old oak trees on the lawn of the Beaver Evangelical and Reformed church, were blown off. Lightning struck a tree on the fairgrounds, near the main en­ trance, but no fire resulted. Limbs were torn from many other trees on the grounds. The roof o f a gasoline service station on Route 4 in Bath town­ ship, near the Yellow Spi-ings road, was blown against power lines and onto the New York Central Railroad tracks. One train was rerouted before work­ men cleared the tracks. Little damage was reported at Patterson and Wright Fields al­ though two cargo planes were blown together and damaged. List Cost of Yet Training More than a quarter o f a, bil­ lion dollars has been spent in the past fiscal year to provide educat­ ion and job-training for World War 11 veterans in Ohio, Michig­ an and Kentucky, the veterans administration tri state branch *office in Columbus reported.

For the first time in its history, this country is mobilized to put an end to the national tragedy o f inexusably excessive traffic acci­ dents. It is too much to expect that we shall ever completely eliminate accidents from our busy streets and highways. But the record of last year approximately 33,500 killed, 1,150,000 injured, and an AwardsAreWon ByLocalsat CountyFair Greene county’s 108th fair was o f f to a good start with blue skies and sunny weather Tuesday and the weatherman promised more o f the same for the other three days o f the annual event which will close tonight (Friday). Fair officials reported that at­ tendance was running ahead o f last year's figures. Major livestock event o f Tues­ day was the Greene County Bar- row Show, in which Levi Smith and son, Guy, of South Solon, Route 1, captured trophies for their grand champion single bar- row and grand champion pen o f three barrows. The barrow hog event was a fa ir innovation this year. Judging at the Junior Fair be­ gan Tuesday also. In the sheep department in the Future Farm­ ers o f America section, a Hamp­ shire ewe o f James Cherry, Xenia, Route 2, was adjudged winner. In the swine department Eugene Ritenour o f Cedarville, Route 1, placed tops with his Hampshire, which was judged grand champ­ ion junior gilt and winner o f all breeds. Other awards in the FFA sec­ tion was given Roger Coy, Xenia, Route 4, whose Hereford bulPwas judged grand champion o f all breeds, and Nolan Butts, Clifton, fo r his grand champion Jersey. Top winner in the 4-H section beef steer show was a Shorthorn belonging to Dean Gordin, Cedar­ ville, Route 1. Championship in the 4-H Showmanship contest went to Joseph Hutchinson, Xenia, Route 3, for his Angus steer. The same Angus won top award in the beef breeding class. .Highlights o f the program fo r to-day (Friday) will be the racing program in the afternoon with the evening horse show and enter­ tainment at the grandstand. StateGuard UnitatXenia Is Deactivated Transfer o f property from the Xenia armory to the Ohio State quard arsenal in Columbus Mon­ day marked the deactivation of company K, Xenia unit o f the Ohio state quard, which had its inception here in the early days o f World War 11. Capt. Herman Gill, officer in - charge o f the company since his return from World War 11, and also commanding officer o f com­ pany L, Xenia unit o f the Ohio national quard, returned to Xenia Monday from Camp Ferry, where company L is training two weeks to supervife transfer o f the equip­ ment, « An inventory o f supplies, in­ cluding uniforms, ordinance and kitchen equipment, was taken be­ fore the bulk o f that material was sent to Columbus. The uni­ forms will be retained for use by company L . Supplies transferred to Columbus included forty-five rifles, eight sub-machine guns and eight shotguns. Company K was organized in Xenia in 1941 shortly after com­ pany L was inducted into federal service. At the peak o f its organ­ ization, company K consisted of three officers and fifty enlisted men. Officers at the time of de­ activation were Capt. Gill, com­ manding officer; 1st Lt. L. V.- Nilson and 2nd Lt. Aaron Shearer. About 50 per cent o f the enlisted men transferred to company L when that eomany was reactivat­ ed recently, Capt. Gill said. Capt. Gill returned to Camp Ferry where he and 2nd Lt.

CoolNightsAre\ SlowingGrowth 0! CornCrop Unless Jack .Frost comes extra, la'te this year, Greene county farmers will probably harvest a good deal of soft and immature corn. *E. A. -Drake, county agri­ culture agent, said. The corn is growing slowly, the farm agent explained, because of 'low -n igh t temperatures.-It. will, not grow at a normal rate when •the temperature is less than 60 degrees and many nights the thermometer has dropped below that point. In other words,- Mr. Drake said, “ the weather man is only letting us use one-half the time for corn growing.” I f the frost is late, it is likely much o f the corn crop will mature, he said, but allowing for average weather conditions, there will probably be a. great deal with a high moisture content. 'Some farmers have forced air dryers, the agricultural agent said, and others have air ducts or other ways of circulating air through the cribs. He , warned that all farmers would do well to plan ahead for methods o f drying out their crop.

Wheat Price Takes Drop The price of wheat at the local market took a decided drop from last week, but farmers were still being paid $2 early in the week. The local crop has been sur­ prisingly good quality an(d yields are averaging on the most part over the. 20 bushel per acre mark. Pre harvest reports had indi­ cated that this years crop would be far below average and~ while it is not as good as last year’s it is running about what the aver­ age has been for the past 10 years in Greene county.

The statement was issued as the result of a conference with Gov. Thomas J. Herbert Monday in which the governor declined the request of the committee that h« intervene in the church-state dispute and put and end to oper­ ation o f the state - supported school. “ Negro citizens throughout the state of Ohio would label this as the first backward step taken by any northern state in modem times in the direction of officially conducted segregrated education at the college level,” the execu­ tive committee declared. No other northen state joins Ohio in this most serious step. “ At a moment when all the forces are decrying the raising of -any new walls 6f segregation—at a moment when persons o f good will everywhere are putting 'every emphasis upon the break­ ing down o f racial barriers— it remains for the State o f Ohio, a- lone among all the states, to turn its back upon progress and open the doors o f a Jim Crow school “ We harbor grave oubts that either white or colore citizens, of thos free state will relish this b lo t' upon their banner,” the statement concluded. he was last seen on the opera .house stage in the recent produc­ tion of “ The Little Foxes.” Mr. McManus will play the gentleman known as Joe, a weal­ thy young man who finds the company at Nick’s more congen­ ial than anywhere else and so stays there almost constantly.
