On the School Scene By Martha Swaney Although the word September comes from the Latin word Sep, tem, meaning seven, we know that it is the ninth month of our calendar year. Perhaps you've wondered about this. This change came about when Julius Caesar added two months to the calendar year. Thus making September fall on the ninth month o f the year; Summer ends and autumn be gins on September 22- It is one o f the warmest months of the year but the nights are cool. September has a touch of golden haze which makes autumn so bea- tiful- September is also a busy time on the farm. On Charlemagne's calendar it was called the “ har vest month* and to this d a y jt is stilL called that in Switzerland. The Anglo Saxons called it the “ barlev month". Labor Dav is the only Nation al Holiday in the month. The morning glory is the flower of the month and the sapphire is the g em .. . . . Martha Swaby Attends 4-H Club Congress Martha Swaby, C. H. S.

The Indians scored two more runs in the fourth. Don Chesnut singled leading o ff the inning, and advanced to second on a passed ball. Jack Irvine was safe on. an infield hit, but the play was such that Chesnut could not advance.

The school bus transported 37 boys and girls on this occas ion, leavirt * Cedarville at 10:80 a. m. and returnin'" about S u m . On being questioned concern ing his reaction to the trip, Micky Carzoo said, “ I thought it was very educational. The music was lovely, and the bus ..noisy going and coming; Of course, the girls, were noisiest,” Joan Hammond thought the selections played by the band were verv beautiful and inspir ing. Jane Davis concluded that it was the best band she had ever heard, also the chorus, especially the soloist. The same opinions were echoed by JoAnn Sheeley. Jeanne Houston summed up the trip as a very interesting ex perience, and I think all members of our band will agree with her sentiments. * . . Music Activities “ Do, Re Mi, Fa, Sol.” Yes, we’re still tn*in«ri But “ we're” just girls this year. The hoys were left out o f the list o f C. H.

AboveAverage CropThisYear All around our community may he seen fields o f beans, and dur ing the summer they grew fence- tall and dark-green, indicating a good crop. On Route 72 are some fields that certainly would rate tops in comparison with any bean fields in the world.

Conditions in August indicated that United States farmefs .will produce a crop of 202 million bu shels, or the second largest erop on record. Average production for the past 10 years is 148; million bushels. ..

Aug. 7. Xenia is protestin'- the annulment of the trains, arguing that the service in mail and express is too drastically curtailed. On the three railroads oper ating between Cincinnati and Co lumbus but one— the New Yorx Central (Big Four)—has a fore noon train.

Kyle, Cedarville, as Green Cpunty’s fourth polio victim this year. The child, a Negro, was in Children’s hospital, Columbus, for observation, was brought home recently but then returned to the hospital Sunday when his case was diagnosed as anterior polio myelitis. There is, paralysis in both legs, it was said, YourShareof WarCostsIs Your share will he about $10., That, mind you, is your sKare, and everybody else’s share will be $10 each*. • “Not little Karen? She won’t owe $10 will she?” “Not only little Karen, but lit tle Willie and Tommie and Katie and Sallie—everybody .will have to. kick in $10.” For What? To help pay the cost of the first year of America’s military as sistance to the European nations with which America recently en tered into an alliance. " “ But what’s it fo r ? Why does it cost so much money? Won’ t the government nay it? We won’t have to, will w e ? ” The first three words in the Constitution defines the “ govern ment” as “We the people.” So when the government pays for anything “we the people” pay for it; and in the case of buying arms .and war preparations and defenses for Europe,* “We the people” have to pay $10 each for only the first year’s expendi tures. Cost to Ohio's taxpayers would be about $81,620,000, it is point ed out. The arms program, now await ing Congressional approval, would require a sum “ qual to the cost of operating all Ohio welfare in stitutions. for two years or near- ., ly four' times the cost of operat ing- all state universities in Ohio for one year. Ohio taxpayers’ share is 5.83% of the total cost, as that is the proportion of federal taxes the state pays The total cost of the first year’s program is estimated at $1,400,000,000. (The eight ciphers are the easiest'nart; it’s the 1 and 4 that hurt the most.) This is in addition to $450,000,- - 000 in war surplus armament USA is pledged to pay in provid ing western Europe with means # of protection against aggression. Government borfowing is in escapable, as no method of raising the money* ate suggest-e ed in the legislation. There _is no time limit set on the operation of the arms-surmlv and students o f the situation point out that it is reasonable to presume the $10-per-head cost of arming Europe could easily be stretched out over the entire 20-year per iod of the treaty. Nearly1,000 OnOldAg< InCounty According to Harry Mairtin, head of the. department of aid for th e. aged ijx, .Greene county 945 persons in the county are Receiving old-age pensions. Oil the basis o f county popu lation that is about* one to 50, Martin calculates. The office is still accepting applications, and “ there seems to be no tightening of require ments,” the staff head says. According to Martin the state approval of claims sent in from Greene county has been almost without exception rapid and final. Maximum monthly payment is $55, as against $30 in prewar times. Payments can not be made to persons under 65 years of age. Significantly the Xenia officer mentions that the lowest number of applications comes from this area of Greene county, where, he reasons, “ there ■ a heavy rural population which tends to accumulate more property and * savings than urban residents.” • Corn Crop, to Be Largest The 1949 corn crop will be the second largest in history, accord ing .to estimates by the depart ment of agriculture. • The estimate is for 3,525,741,- 000 bushels, which is more than 12,500,000 bushels short of the estimate a month ago. The record- was set in 1948 with 3,650,548- 000 bushels. The 10-year average is 2,787,628.000 bushels.- The 1949 wheat crop .is the fourth largest ever grown, the department says. In bushels the crop is estimated at 1,129,081,- 000 which shows that again “ porn is king.” .. Enrollment in the first grade of Xenia schools is 225. Church Services CHURCH OF GOD Elwood C.
