Charles N. Fischer and his 13-year-eld son, Leonard, of Shelbyville, Ind., were crowned King and Prince Com at the recent International Livestock Exposition in Chicago. Their recipe for championship com is “plenty of elbow grease, pins good seed, good fertilizer and good soil manage­ ment.’' It was the third father and son victory in show history. The Chicago exposition attracted the best examples of rural achievement from ail parts of the nation and set goals toward which farmers will ad­ vance during the coming year. Farmers came to display what they had learned and to learn more. r On the School Scene By Gfenna Nance “The year’s at th spring And the day’s a t the mom; Morning’s a t seven; The hill-side’s dew-pearled; The lark’s on the wing; The snail’s on the thorn; God’s in his heaven- Ali’s right with the world!” This quotation is from Brown­ ing’s drama, “Fippa Passes,” which describes a day in the life of Pippi, a poor child who works In the silk-mills of Asolo, Italy- New Year’s Day was her only holiday of the year. As she passes by, singing the above refrain, she unconsciously gives cheer and hope to many people- As we begin this new year of the mid-century, many people have made resolutions of all kinds. How many of those reso­ lutions were concerned with help­ ing others? Few of us realize how much a smile, a cheery greeting* or a word of comfort w»n help someone who needs a lift. Through the character of Psppa, Browning points out the marked influence which an indi­ vidual has on those with whom he comes in contact even indirect­ ly. f Would not this he a better world if everyone would resolve to he more thoughtful tqward others during the new year? SPORTS VIEWS Cage Statistics To date the Cedarville High cage squad have racked up wins in seven out of eight games- This is art average of -8*5 not a bad percentage for any man’s ball club.

Regardless of your negative opinion, it can be done, and it was done a t C. H. S- this week. Returping from the Christmas vacation, two senior girls, Janet Hull and Ann Duval], found themselves promoted, or possibly demoted, from their high posts to the sixth grade in the role of instructors (? ), The reason? Mrs. Dolphin, Sixth grade teacher, was unable to be present on that day. Can You Solve This Mystery?

PlanFive DayFair for GreeneCounty Forwarding looking' officials of the Greene County Agricultural society have made application to the state department of agricul­ ture *for permission to conduct a five-day fair in Xenia in 1950. Operated as a four-day event for nearly a century, along in jhe 30’s the fair was shorted to three days, with' night programs featured. The proposal now is to emphasize the horse shows, which attract many of the area’s best showmen and their horses, and to hold a Saturday fair with the idea of giving factory employes and the personnel at the air fields a day a t the fair. The. governing body that regu- the dates of fairs and their cejffacterhad already" approved a four-day fair, Aug. 1-4. The hoard is now petitioned to add Saturday, Aug. 5 to the calendar. Ralph Haines of Caesarcreek township is president o f the fair board, and Mrs. Mary Fay Bry­ son is secretary. ClarenceBrown Announces Candidacy Congressman C l a r e n c e J. Brown, of Blanchester, Ohio, an­ nounced today tha t he would be** a candidate for xeeleetion as Rep­ resentative to Congress from the Seventh Ohio District, subject to the May Republican Primary. The Republican committees of all nine counties in the Seventh district—Champaign, Clark Clin­ ton, Fayette, Greene, Logan, Ma­ dison, Union and Warren—adopt­ ed resolutions last Autumn urg­ ing Brown to he a candidate to succeed himself and pledging him the Republican organization support. The Seventh district Re­ publican committee took similar action a t a meeting held in Springfield several weeks ago. In private life Congressman Brown is a newspaper publisher and farmer. Before entering Congress in 1939 he had served the State of Ohio for two terms as Lieutenant Governor and 3 terms as Secretary of State. In 1934 be was the Republican nomi­ nee for Governor, and since 1944 has been Republican ' National Committeeman for Ohio. In con-e­ gress he is a member oik: the powerful House Rules Commit­ tee the House Republican Policy Committee, and the Special com­ mittee to Investigate Lobby Ac­ tivities, Brown was the author and _ sponsor of the legislation which created the HooVer Commission and served as one of its mem­ bers during the two years of its life. While only twenty per cent of its recommendations'have' been put into effect since the Hoover Commission made its fi­ nal report last June, a billion and a quarter dollars have al­ ready been saved in yearly gov­ ernmental costs, with an addi- I. tional three or four billions in annual savings expected to come soon as a result .of the legisla­ tion -written and guided through .Congress by *Representative Dr. E. E. Flack, Dean of Ham- ma Divinity School, a t Spring- field spoke on the subject, “Look­ ing Forward” at the Cedarville College Convocation Jan. 4. . Dr. Flack maintained, “All ed­ ucation has its center in Christ.” He who abandons himself and turns to Christ will ..find there the heart of intellectual history. . AH “little systems have had their day and passed away be­ cause they were not centered in Christ. ' Real progress consists in cen­ tering your interests in Christ. v —• All great art, literature, philos­ ophy and ethics is centered in Him. “As we know Christ we will build a balanced life and an ad­ justment to all knowledge .will result,” He is the answer to til the world’s problems and the answer to the human quest. First relate your life to Christ and then the course you pursue will not be confining, but an en­ larging pfopess. The educated man who has._ Christ has a bal­ ance that will enable him to ad­ just himself to all the exigencils of life. Paul had a mystical experience that enabled him to live by faith that he chose to call “In Christ” and reflect Christj We should do as Paul did and ’Press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.’ Boardof Public Affairs Meets The Trustees of the Board of Public Affairs Marvin Agnor, Earl—Chaplin and Guy LeForge took the oath of office on Tues­ day the third of January.

FairbornIs Christened ANewCity New Year’s Day brought new name into being in Greene coun­ ty—Fairborn, the name the people selected for the unified towns of Fairfield and Osborn. The governor of Ohio was to serye as more than tbg titu­ lar head of the ceremonies; he spoke. Senator Tuft and Con­ gressman Brow11? Representative Fess and other notables were in­ vited. ‘Miss Fairborn for 1950,” win­ some 5-year-old Karen Ann Car­ bon, accepted a painting show­ ing the birth of the new city, and in turn presented it to the officials. Master of c6remonies'was How­ ard Flatter, a teacher in Fair­ mont high school but a resident of the town. He spoke on “The Birth of a City.” Following the flood of 1913 that devastated the' Miami val­ ley, the conservancy system was constructed. The village of Os­ born lay In the very center of the area to he inundated in time of high water. Osborn was pick­ ed up, body and soul, and moved .to . a new site adjoining the vil­ lage of Fairfield. The neighbors got along none too well, though the centralized school served as ' a medium to quiet the rancor that so often marks the behavior of ' citizens of rival communities. Game the war. The influx of thousands increased the popu­ lation to city proportions. Civic problems multiplied. Duplicate governments proved costly and unnecessary. The merger was the result. Phil Cakeres, chain theater pwner, erected in what was then Fairfield, an ultra-modem mov­ ing picture palace and named it the “Fairborn.” Golonel E. A. Deeds, the master mind of the conservancy enterprise, had urged . the adoption of the new name. Sunday and the new year saw the dream come .true. Unto us a town is born, even Fairborn, our new neighbor! Congratulations from another Greene county community! Prosecutor Quits Xenia Work George R. Smith, Jamestown, Greene county’s prosecuting a t­ torney, has notified Xenia of­ ficials that, he will “no longer do the work which the law specifies to be done by the city solicitor*” In his letter, Mr. Smith called attention to the general code de­ fining a solicitor’s duties, claims that he has handled cases which should -be prosecuted by the so­ licitor, that the county’s popu­ lation has increased requiring; more and more of his time to be devoted to those" parts of the county without other official legal advice and that Fairborn will be 'a second city in Greene County and he will not prosecute local cases there* ■- • -jz*T V.,- *
