President Truman is ihe obviously pleased recipient of the first salmon caught In Maine waters this season. The 10-pound, three- foot salmon was presented by a delegation of members of congress from Maine who called a,* the White House to present the fish to the President. They are: (left to right) Rep. Robert Hale, the President, and Reps. Frank Fellows and Charles Nelson. Incidentally, ail are Republicans, except President Truman, Re­ membrances such as this help lighten from time to time the awesome task of running the United States for the various personages who have held that job. Hospital Contra’ts Signed; Work to BeginSoon Ground may be broken for the Greene County Memorial hospit­ al before the end of the month. Myron R. Fudge, near James­ town, chairman of the four-man hoard ‘ of building trustees, re­ ported all five contracts cover­ ing construction phases of the been signed and returned to the board. This means, he said, that the general contracting firm, Char­ les 1L Shook, 582 West Second street, Dayton, can now begin moving equipment onto the site preparatory to excavation. The city has met its obligation in extending water and sewer lines on Wilson Drive to the hos pital site, about midway betweei Shawnee Village and Country Ciub Road, and Dayton Power and L 'eht Company crewmen completed bringing power to the site several days ago. Mr, Shook, in winning the gen­ eral contarct at $813,416, ask­ ed and received 665 days—or Twenty - two months— in which to complete construction, which includes the grading and prep- ration o f access streets in the hospital area, ready for black- topping by the city. Tentatively, it was said, the Shook firm may move into the area yet this" week 'and the hoard hopes construction will start soon afterward. Contracts on the other con­ struction phases — combined .plumbing, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning; electrical; laundry; kitchen equipment—will follow in proper sequence. The $1,300,00 hospital, on this premise, is therefore receiving a completion lahel for the spring 1951. f Social Security AndYou- .WJpt It Is Qd-age hnd survivors insur­ ants is a great government insnr- I . arjee program to provide a moix- t ^81y income for workers and their ^ fam ilies. These payments are fumade when the worker retires, at 65 or later, and to his family ■i iat his death. At present, this [■ system operates only for workers |V in industry and commerce, fo r their families, and for the sur­ vivors of certain World War II ‘-veterans. ® Old-age and survivors insur­ ance is an insurance program fo r Those who work in “ covered” jobs—jobs in factories, mills, mines, offices, stores, hanks, ho­ tels, restaurants and the like.

TheRains Descendedand TheFloodsCame “ The rain.% descended and the floods came and they heat upon the house, and it fell not.” But it almost floated away! Just about the time that every­ body settled down, resigned to nut through a dry. hot summer along came Jupiter Pluvius and tinned on all his faucets at once, dousing everythins and everybody to the sousing stage. But the cornfields were clean for the most part, ami there can not be a corn root in this part o f USA That isn’t soaked to the point o f being soppy. In fact, glancing over most of the flatter fields one wondered at the tail end of the week if it would ever be possible to get into the fields again, to say nothing o f trying to run a cultivator! Everybody brings in a story o f what it did in his community. But in general all it did was rain—well, maybe it did more than that—it stormed; but for­ tunately there was a minimum o f wind and hardly any lightning so very little damage was; done, except for falling limbs from trees and an occasional tree trunk here anil there. Utilities had some losses, hut they were not general, linemen report. But, if you were out, you know it sho" did rain! m Highway to Bear Famous Name SR-28, a .short-cut route a- cross southern Ohio from Mil­ ford via Blanchester and Green­ field, leaving US-50 at Milford and joining it again six miles west of Chillicothe, is to he nam­ ed “ McArthur Highway,” thanks to some energentic work done by Senator Albert L. Daniels in the Ohio senate. * The senator reviewed for his comrades in the senate the life and services of General Duncan McArthur, soldier' of fame and governor of Ohio from 1830 to '32. Dedication o f ‘the route in hon­ or of the famed governor will he featured of the sesqui-centexrnial to be held at Greenfield in Sept­ ember.

BrowderFails InEscapeTry At Hospital Gideon Browder, 34, Xenia is expected, to be arraigned in mun­ icipal court this week on grand larceny changes after he .was thwarted in an escape attempt by jumping out a window at Mi­ ami Valley hospital, Dayton, late Sunday. Hospital officials refused to hold Browder after his leap and recapture by Dayton police fol­ lowing a short chase on the hos­ pital grounds. He was being held in Greene county jail Monday with his father, William Browd- ex*, 68, who is also accused on the grand larcency count. The elder Browder is being held in default of $1,000 bond after his ai'raignmexit Monday. He pleaded guilty and a hearing will be held Thursday. He is expected to be bound to the grand jury. He and the younger Browder were charged with stealing $390 worth o f hogs from the farm of Fred Dobbins, Cedarville, R. R. 2, May 23. Both were admited to the Dayton hospital after they were involved in a family cutting and shooting melee at their home June 5. Police had planned to prose­ cute William, who reportedly shot Gideon in the thigh with a shotgun at point-blank range, fo r shooting with intent to wound but stepped aside when sheriff’s deputies revealed plans to pros-" eeute the pair on the larceny charge. Railroaders On Furlough As a result of another of John L. Lewis’ flareups, the B. & O. has furloughed a number o f em­ ployes, most of whom were in freight service. Alreadv Greene county folk are xnissing the daily passing of long coal trains over the cutoff from Ghillicotlxe via Dayton and Hamilton to the west. As a usual thing several trains, heavily loaded, are routed over this division daily. Alost of the time the trains are xxearly a mile long, dx’awn by mammoth en­ gines,, usually double-headed.

Cedarvilxe handed the Merch­ ants a 4-0 setback behind- the near-perfect pitching o f Marty Weimer, who hurled his first no- .hit contest o f the season, and fo l­ lowed with a 3-0 victory over Lawrenceville behind the three- hit chucking of Marcus Townsley, Who did some stellar pitching_for Cedarville college this spring. It was the seventh victory in nine contests for the Cedarville nine, putting it one game ahead o f Enon in the league. Cedarville will pieet Ridenour Poultry Sunday at Lawrenceville. JudgeMcDowell RulesforOsborn FairfieldMerger Fairfield and Osborn voters, despite “ irx'egular” proceedings, expressed a cleareut desire to merge their twin Bath township towns into a city under the name “ Fairborn” and this consolida­ tion will be effective next Jan. 1. Judge George W. McDowell of Hillsboro so ruled last Thurs­ day in an opinion to Greene coun­ ty common pleas court in the con­ troversial merger litigation. The long-awaited decision op­ ened the way for the two villages to proceed immediately with plans to consolidate by annexa­ tion o f Fairfield to Osborn next year. Judge McDowell, who presid­ ed after Judge Johnson, Xenia, refused to hear any more argu­ ments in the matter, claiming he had ruled clearly before present­ ed the opinion in the case ifl- ed by Miss Vera Schneider^ Os­ born realtor, as a taxpayer, a- gahxst the county board of elec­ tions and the two villages. In the form of an injunction action, she sought to enjoin eeiv tificatxon o f the Nov. 2 election when Osborn voters gave over­ whelming support to the propos­ al by a 4-1 margin and Faixrfield ballots also showed a majority—■ about twenty-five vote margin in 1,200 cast. The matter had to pass a simple majority in each community. Judge McDowell, while recog­ nizing irregularities throughout the long fight to merge, agreed that “ municipalities are given a wide lattitude in the Inatter of local self-government and the name o f a city or village is pre­ dominantly of~ local concern.” Food for Aged Is Not Pared After a survey it has been de­ cided not to pare, the food allow­ ances to Ohio’s old-age pension­ ers, it was announce! last week. Recently it had been decreed that the allowance for food could be cut, but the effective date for that order has been postponed. The orded was a re­ duction of $2 per month. The sur­ vey showed that a cut of that proportions would reduce the nu­ trition elements far too low. There are 125*000 pensioners in the state under the old-age classification, ,90,000 o f which have been affected by the order. About 8,000 new residences built in Philadelphia remain va­ cant and unsold because people won’t pay the price askjd for them. Closer home, Wilmington wit­ nessed a sheriff’s sale o f three unoccupied resiliences recently, with the mortgage holding loan company bidding them in at a fractioifof the cost. All summer a subdivision in Urbana has represented empty new houses with no buyers. Polk Plans To Make Speeches James Polk, representative from the sixth district in cong- - ress, plans some speech-making in Ohio in favor of the Brannan farm relief program. Says Polk: “ The plan will be defeated unless the farmers get xixad and demand its enactment.” The bill is lost in a sub-com­ mittee. Polk has decided to speak in Cincinnati -and Columbus on the subject. The Brannan plan, Polk points out, is a proposal to let certain farm products xfipd their natural level.

Breakfast at Sauer’s Popular “Are you listenin’ ?” A lot of people in this commun. ity smile when they answer “ yes” to that question, for daily except Sunday, which sounds like a railroad schedule of an “ accom­ odation” run, they are listening to a very popular half-hour on WPFB, the Middletown station, from 7:30 to 8 A. M. It is . called “ Breakfast at Sauers,” and is conducted by Alack Sauei', popular after-din­ ner speaker, well-known in this ccnxmunity from many appear­ ances at meetings, one of the last of which was the commencement exercises at Ross Township, in May. The half hour program consists o f news coverage, local events usually handled by Mrs. Sauer; • introduction of guests, many of which last week were represent­ ative men of this section of Ohio in a pre-father's day honor cer­ emony; music and quips and com- xneiits by the inimitable Sauer.

A statiscian by desire and training Dr. Bartels has held a position during his time in OSU completing his doctorate. Brown Votes Against Housing Clarence J. Brown, Greene county’s man of the House, vot­ ed a loud “no” on the proposal to send out of committee Pres­ ident Truman’s pet housing mea­ sure. . However the committee voted the bill out, 8 to 4. The bill is a campaign promise of Truman, hut so far the pro­ posals have been lost in com­ mittee. It provides for a huge expenditure for building resi­ dences and fo r- slum clearance. Opponents ardently argued that the bill added tremendously to an already topheavy budget for spending. Would Feed Needy Government Surplus Hamilton county commission­ ers, currently out o f funds for poor relief, are asking the feder­ al government to permit them to use surplus grain to feed hungry people in their county. The county officials .have tel­ egraphed Senators Taft ^ and Bricker,* calling attention to the county’s plight, and requesting their aid in securing the govern­ ment’s co-operation. ^School Aid Heavy on Ohio As the Ohio chamber of com- mei’c c views it the school-aid bill already passed by the house and now before the senate, would cost Ohio twice as much as the state’s Share in its benefits. - Ohio's share under the law, the chamber claims, would _ he over $15 million dollars, and "the state would .get aid amounting to only $7 millions.

Corn LoansCan BeExtended ToJuly31,1950 Greene County corn producers have a chance to extend their government loans on 1948 crop corn to July 31, 1950, and to put purchase agreement corn from the 1948 crop under loans to ma­ ture July 31, 1950. Dale C. Wil­ liams, state Chairman of the Pro­ duction and Marketing Adminis­ tration Committee, revealed to­ day. Farmers who extend their loans or put purchase agreement corn under loan will be entitled to a storage payment of 10 cents a bushel for the extended per­ iod if the corn is delivered to Commodity Credit Corporation at maturity of the loan. Deadline for taking advantage of the re­ sealing program is October 31. Farmers who do not have price support protection on 1948 crop earn still have until June 30 to apply for either loans or pur­ chase agreements at their coun­ ty Triple-A office. To date 160,- 000 bushels of 1948 corn are un­ der loan in Greene County, and 42-600 are under purchase agree­ ment Joseph B. Alason said. The j-e-seal program is design­ ed to slow down the excessive movement of corn o ff the farms that would result from heavy de­ liveries of loan and purchase a- greement corn to CCC this fall, he explained/ Originally, loans on the 1948 crop corn were to" become due on September 1, 1949.' Now farmers have the option o f paying o ff loans at that time, delivering the com to CCC or, not later, than October 31, 1949, extending the loans to mature July 31, 1950. Previously CCC had agreed to buy during the 30-day period im­ mediately following the" nxatur- ity date of 1948 loans and quan- ity of 1948 corn up the maximum a producer had under purchase agreement at applicable loan de­ purchase agreements may sell livery rates. Now producers wjth to CCC, or' keep the corn and put it under loan October 31 at the 1948 loan rates, the lorn to ma­ ture July 31, 1950, if they wish.

GrapeGrove Church Holds BibleSchool One year from the day tTie former building of the Grape Grove Church o f ’'Christ burned to the ground, the annual two- weeks Vacation Bible School for the children was opened in the new building of the church. It was in the afternoon o f the first day o f Vacation Bible school last year that the building burned. Since then the church and com­ munity rallied, raised the funds and. built' a fine new building. It was dedicated March 6th and has only a small debt on it now. The Bible School this year was as good or better in-quality than last year due to a severe epidemic o f mumps which invaded the com­ munity preceding and during the school period. With an enrollment o f 119 which includes the teach­ ers and helpers, an average at­ tendance o f 104.2 was maintained for the two weeks. Graded classes were held fo r the children from four years up. Two missionary ■ offerings for the Mountain Mis­ sion School at Grundy, Va. total­ led $29.08. Fine picnic lunch was given-to the school on the last day of the school by a committee of women from the church. On Sunday night, June 19, a program of Bible, drills, drama­ tizations and-Christian songs and choruses .were presented by the school in the church auditorium. Many expressed the thought that it was the finest program pre­ sented by the school. In spite o f the extreme heat the building was filled by interested parents and church members* CLINTON FARM SELLS ■* A farm o f 110 - acres in the rich New Vienna section of Clin- -ton .county sold foi-$130- per .acre at public auction.
