No, but for three very good reasons, we know it. Fh's{.’*th«« calehdar tells ns that March s i has arrived.’ But far more con­ vincing than that is the fact that spring housecleaning started ip earnest last Friday when a working crew composed of mem­ bers of the Literature and Jmun-* p]iam classes transformed fh’e (dassrpoms and office in the south wipg of the second floor scour­ ing and cleaning every nook and corner from top to bottom and getting rid of all dust and diet.

Dean Marlow, the col­ lege professor (Bffl Flfd), patches the fancy of Aunt Car­ oline and she soon forgets her ideas of matchmaking for young people, Alfred Tennyson Margatody, the college poet (Bob William­ son), will keep the audience ip laughter with the rendition of his own ‘‘peculiar” poetic pro­ ducts.

Seventh and Eighth-Grad-v Assembly Assembly was held Tuesday morning March 22, in the high school auditorium. The program began by everyone singing “Fair­ est Lord Jesus.” Mack Weakley then read the Scripture. Follow­ ing the scripture the Lord’s Prayer and the pledge of alleg­ iance to the flag. Several musical selections were sung: “Santa Lucia" and “Come with Thy Lute”, by the eighth- grade girls; “Nocturne” and “Whistling Boy” by the seventh g rade; and. “Hark the Vesper ymn Is Stealing” and “Fairy Bell,” by the eighth-grade chor­ us. A clarinet trio consisting of Ronnie Boase, Susanne Miller, and Marilyn Kyle played the ins­ trumental number. “Love-Letter Polka.” As a special -feature of the program, Rev. Paxton, the new pastor of the Clifton Presbyter­ ian Church, spoke on “What do you think?” The assembly closed with the singing of “Christ, the Lord, Is Risen Today.” Martha Purden was chairman ■of the program, and Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Wilson, home-room teapjiers were in chprge g f the program*, / ,/‘ J*rg«£|chcK>l Clinjc The pre-school clinic was held Monday, March 21.

' Kearns was arrested by De­ troit police and allegedly con­ fessed to cracking a safe in that city. Whether he will bo return­ ed here to face the burglary charge or held to face the burg- larly charge or held in Detroit on the safecracking count was not indicated.

The average parent wants his child to have more opportunities than (the parent) had as a child. Many times fond parents will sacrifice in order tha t the child­ ren may have this or that. We have seen some efforts here in ovu’ town along that line. When the high school band needed new uniforms the mothers struck out and raise the necessary funds by putting on an auction sale. Wliat a splendid piece of work they did. Now the C. H. S. band can “stru t” with any prep school outfit in the" state'.' The parents have stiown their genu­ ine interest in their children in many other ways in the commun­ ity, in the churches and in the schools. We need to form a per­ manent organization to promote the continued welfare of our children here in CedatYiTTo. A logical organization would be the Parent Teachers Association, After, a local organization was started it might well affiliate both with the state and the nat­ ional group. A good P. T. A. can be a definite asset to a school, We have a fine school jp ouv town where our- children are exposed to educational opportunities far above the average in these United Gtptes, Let6! keep the opportunity flowing toward our children by forming a P.

Gamblingand EstateCases HeardinCourt The second district appellate court, meeting in common pleas here Tuesday, took under advise­ ment the oply two cases oil its local docket. One involved an appeal from a decision by Probate Judge Wil­ liam B. McCallister, Jr., in the case of George H. Smith, Xenia lawyer and administrator of the estate of Mrs. Barbara Cline, late of Jamestown, and others against May Cox Todd, Yellow Springs. Mr. Smith, representing the plaintiffs, had won a probate de­ cision distributing the Cline es­ tate to the ■widow’s heirs bu t Mil­ ler and Finney, Xenia law firm, appealed in behalf of defendants, arguing that the distribution should he 50-50—half to Mrs. Cline’s heirs and half to heirs of her husband, Charles, who pre­ ceded her in death. The second appeal was in a case which has been in common pleas court since 1945. I t is styled Mrs. Olive Lindamood of Dayton against Paul Dennis, near Wil­ mington, and seven other co-de­ fendants. Originally filed in 1945, the suit lost in common pleas, the district and supreme courts. Re-filed in October, 1947, the case was rejected on the statute of limitations in January, 1948, and Judge Frank L. Johnson’s dismissal order is being appealed! The Lindamood suit seeks §4,- 785 in damages which allegedly represents money lost by the plaintiff’s husband in gambling in 1944 a t the former Druids Park in northwestern Greene County. Former county officials were named codefendants In the matter. 867 Farmers Sign For AGP for Coming Year Already eight hundred and six­ ty seven farmers of Greene coun­ ty have indicated that they will participate in the 1949 Conserva­ tion Program, according to Jo­ seph B. Mason,-chairman of the County Agriculture Committee. A total of 1450 farmers partici­ pated In the 1948 ACP. This was sixty percent of all farmers In the county. Mr. Mqgon said, th a t an in- " crease in participation can he ex­ pected this year over last because there has been an increase in au­ thorized funds and the limit of assistance to any one farmer has been increased from §500 to §750. Then, too, progress has been in building up basic understanding about the program among fa r­ mers—how it operates and why it is necessary for the farmer and for the country. Farm plans alredy filled out by farmers who have signed, up Establishing - Sod W a t erways in the 1949 program show th a t leads the six soil and water con­ servation prectiees approved for Greene County Farmers. Mr. Mason urged farmers who have not yet signed up to con­ sider the conservation needs of their farms' on the basis of the most serious conservation prob­ lem check these against the ap­ proved practices fo r the county and to concentrate on most need­ ed practices. Those most urgent­ ly needed should he given first consideration in making plans for 1949. Following Is the complet list of practices from which farmers may make the ir slections: GROUP A—Practices to protect Soil from Wind and Water 1. Contouring Intertilled Crops 2. Contour Seeding; 3.
