Mrs. Barr, Americanism chair­ man for the Auxiliary, told of how the Communist Party used its un­ ited front tactics in the New York City primaries, and of the ensuing discussion between it and the Am­ erican Party leader, Marcantionio. A verbatim account of her report follows: "Most of us are not 'politically' aware of why some people are taking an active part in politics, and attribute it all to good citiien- •hip. Let’s each one of us in the coming election make it our job to see that the Communists are not influencing our community for the benefit of Moscow. Directions from Moscow now call for united fronts with non-Comnumists and anti- Communista.

Miss Mary Hunt, president, con­ ducted the business meeting. Other officers and standing committee chairmen for 1953-54 include: Mrs. Chnrlos Kohler, vice-president; Mrs, H.

Dr. East, who spoko on "Edu­ cation of Women,” outlined four roles which tho successful woman today must play—the domectic, career, glamour, and "culture- bearer” roles. The text of her speech is as foj* lows: "If that’s what it means to be a woman, organized education has many jobs.” “We face a dclemma in guild- ing these (college) girls, Shall we teach a girl how to cook and keep house, acquaint her with what has gone on in the past, or prepare her fo r life on an intellectula basis You h&Ve to make soome choice. " It seem* to me th a t all men and ■Women need certaia kinds of training for life, the relationship kind of training, experiences in getting Along with each ather and with children« 10 year* for marriage and chil- "WRh the advent of the corn picker sholler, » grain dryer is a necessity." according to L. R. J a ­ cobs of the Clifton Road, prominent Greene County farmer, Mr. Jacobs constructed a porta­ ble. continuous flow grain dryer, last winter which is now being used on the 175 aero crop being harvest­ ed on the Meadow-brook Operating Farm near Xenia', managed by Mr, Jacobs, for that company. John and Ernest Collins nru operators on this farm, and report that the dryer is doing u satisfactory job of drying the corn from 25','r mo­ isture down to 14 r,'< moisture, at the rale of 70 bushels per hour. Tho corn is picked, shelled, mul elevated into the portable dryer, where hot air is forced through it, removing the moisture. The corn now moves into the cooling unit, where it is cooled, and then it is elevated into the trucks for sto-’- vge or market, This crop is being stored i:i the County Storage bins near Xcniu. Tho portable heating unit used in connection with this dryer is loaned by Aerovcnt Fan Company of Piqun, It is powered, by a 7Vi horse power electric motor, anil uses a direct connected 30* inch fan. The humor has nil eight gallon per hour fuel oil jet which delivers the hot air to the dryer a t approx­ imately 100 degrees tempciatuTe rise. Mr, Jacobs stales, "This equip­ ment is being operated on an ex­ perimental basis, with the hope that it may be a part of the answer to an earlier corn harvest, which is one of the- big problems faced by all fanners.” Drying grain, both wheat and com, are not now operations to Mr. Jacobs, as he has a stationary dryer a t his own farm, which ho built in 1950. The stationary dryer's capacity lR^ibawt .100 busblki of corn per hour, computed on a basin of a five per cent moisture' removal. ''This dried corn J<*lifted by elevator leg* Into storage bins, then released via chute* Into trucks for transporta­ tion to market. A total capacity of 14000 bushels of processed corn con be stored on the Jamb's farm.

Wolford, that less than one per cent maj­ ored in other field*, duties and a career. Most of our girls seem to feel they can combine a glamour career and a family. They don’t realize what a problem they are going to face.” Dr, East also believes that one solution to the problem of edu­ cation women, is to encourage them to enter fields in which their career training would be useful in their family life. She suggested such field* as social work and child psychology, and pointed out i M o ther D augh te r Plan T rip Abroad From Yellow Spring* to the East to Europe, Florida and back agai.r will be the itinerary tM9*yenV"for Mr*.
