Fricfay, FeKcuarys 1949 ON THE SCHOOL SCENE Continued from Page One nesviUe "where she will attend Waynesville High School. Dorothy came to Cedarville School in 1943, entering the six- th grade# We hope that she will like her new school, and at the . same time retain pleasant mem­ ories of C. H. S. . , . •Valentine Dance Held A Valentine Dance, sponsored by the Junior class," was held Monday night at 7:30 in the High School. The auditorium was gaily decorated in red and white crepe paper with colorful balloons. During the intermission of the dance, delicious refreshments of home-made ice cream and cook­ ies were served. Also at this time Mary Jo Duvall, one of the eight nominees, was crowned Queen of .Hearts. . . . Back Again! “Back again, hack again, Time in its flight. Make me a child again, Just for tonight.” In order to compare tiie merits of modern-day facilities and those of the “good old days” (as we of the younger generation hear about them), we interviewed several C. H. S. pupils on the above subject, and were quite elated with our findings. Marion Smith would like the old-fashioned sleigh ride that is so dear te all of us, with the soft jingling of the sleigh hells instead o f ,the harsh tones of the horns heard now a days. But he also states, that he would hate to give up his car. Ann Duvall’s one ambition has been to wear fceop skirts, but she wants to retain the rights of the women of today. Dorothy Chenoweth says she would like to try the horse and baggy for one day. She also likes the make-up of modern times (facial, that is). Jimm Luttrell thought that he would like to go hack quite a few years especially to the west to hunt buffaloes. The one thing he decided to keep, though, was sports. Mrs. Chesnut would like to re­ turn to the days when she used to go coasting and ice skating, in the good old-fashioned winter. But she iikes the modern refrig­ erator, instead of the fee box. Mrs. Wilson would like to have her youthful agility so she would be able to climb the smoke-stack once again. She says she wouldn’t want to give up her radio though. Mary Jo Duvall said that the thing she would like to do most of those “olden days” is to sit in the parlor on one of those old- fashicned love seats. The thing she likes about today is the style of the clothes—especially minus bustles. . H oe Turner would like mast to join one of those old-fashioned riding parties; but like most boys, he doesn't want to give up the car. Rita Corrigan would like to wear the long, full dresses with three or four petticoats. The tele­ phone is her favorite itc-m of modem equipment. Janet Hull wants ride on one of those bicycles built for four. However she doesn’t want to give- up the modern-day speed of tra­ vel. Dick Williamson would like to have fought with the Indians, but .would not give up his ear for the horses of bygone days. Beth Turnbull told as that she would Ihse to wear a Ball down stlyed in Civil War cl a v s. or there afcouts. She says one thing she likes o f today is French fries, turn! yum! All in all, we think one day would give us our fill of “those good old dhys.” Don’t you?—By R gszo Miller and Margaret Swa- r.ey. A t the Courthouse Ask Judgment A declaratory sought hy Gust A* Thomas, Xe­ nia, E. R- 2, In a petition filed in common pleas court against Clara Morgan, Xenia, R.

More Cattle On Feed The number of cattle'on feed for market the first of this year in the United States was 19% larger than a year ago and the largest on record. In the 11 corn- belt states there were 22% more than a year ago. The Bureau o f Agricultural Ec­ onomics makes this report and further states that shipments of stocker and feeder cattle into the corn belt during November and December increased sharply over the same months in the pre­ vious year, being up 36%. Farm Tenancy Low Farm tenancy is at a new low. Both the Institute of Life Insur­ ance and Department of Agricul­ ture economists report this fact. The Institute says that in 1920 tenant run farms were about 33% of all farms in the nation. Now the percentage is around 25. A similar trend prevails in Greene County. The 1945 farm, census, which is the latest offi­ cial figure, show 31.1% farm tenancy in Greene County. This is the lowest census figure since 1880 when 30.8% of tlie farms were reported operated by ten­ ants. The .highest percentage was reported by the 1935 census with 42.2. TEe Cecfarviire, O'.

Warner’s Warner-Grave Farm, R. R. I, Greenville. Monroe Ryles, farm manager, examines the 200 ampere service. To get the most value from electric service every farm needs Adequate Wiring, Adequate Wiring means enough cutlets, big enough w ife sizes and a wiring layout and installation that as­ sures efficiency, economy, safety and convenience. Here is the key: As illustrated, the power line is brought in from the road to a center meter pole which serves as a distribu­ tion point for wires carrying electric current to all the buildings being served. The methods, materials and size o f wire installed in these feede? lines 1 to the' various buildings determine the efficiency o f th$ farm wiring. ■ _ Planfor thefuture, too . It’s a fine idea to plan wiring to carry a future load double that now needed.
