LOAN RATES REDUCED

H. K. Crow, Cumberland, presi-
dent of the Cambridge Production
| Credit association, 500 Central
National bank building, Cambridge,
o., has just received word from
Governor w. l. Myers of the Farm
Credit Administration in Washing
ton, d. c., that the interest rate on
new loans from production credit
association has been reduced from
51a % to $50.
According to Mr.. Crow the new 5
percent interest rate becomes effec-
tive Immediately on all new loans
and advances made by the associa-
ton, and will be applicable until
further notice.
The new interest rate of so will
not affect loans already advanced in
full. These will continue to bear
the rate of interest prevailing at
the time the loan was closed. The
interest charges on loans from the
association are collected when the
loans mature. The Cambridge asso-
citation is now making loans on ac-
ceptable crop and chattel security
to farmers in Guernsey, Perry, Nor
gan, Washington, Noble, Monroe,
Muskingum, Belmont, Coshocton,
Tuscarawas, Harrison, Jefferson and
Carroll counties.
The reduction of the interest of
Sch on new loans is made possible
by recent sale of federal intermed-
late credit bank debentures to in
vestors at an unusually low rate of
interest. The association gets mon
ey to lend farmers from the federal
intermediate credit bank Of Louis

CAMP MORGAN MUSINGS
(By ]. r. BENJAMIN }


The old commanding officer, 1t.
Kirtley, has been ordered back to
active duty in the navy, being as
signed to the U. S. S. Wyoming, to
report for duty May 80 He has al
ready left the camp, being succeed
ed by Capt. Won Dereau, of the
| army aviation service. The new G.
O. has started out on the right foot
by asking the cooperation of the
men in obtaining better beautifica-
tion and sanitation of the camp, to
which the men have responded
nobly.
The array of pets in camp is get
ting more diverse right along AL
and Perry Ingle's three red squir-
rels are thriving nightly. The half
dozen flying squirrels were distrib-
uted to people who will give them
good homes; the baby rabbit
brought in by another truck driver
seemed well pleased, and foreman
Benjamin's snakes and turtles
create lot of interest whenever
displayed. The latter have been re-
leased, however, as they do not eat
very well in captivity, and a new
supply will be collected when need
ed for demonstration purposes.
However the two dogs, Skippy and
Soupbone, are always with us. 1t.

other dogs. You said it.
Now that the spring tree planting
is over we can go back to the prob
lem Of initiating those 69 new men
into the mysteries of building dams.
OF course one of the simplest prob
lens is how to check a SO foot gully
with a 16 foot slab dam. You find
the answer
Quite number of the married
men have moved their families to
Malta and McConnelsville, taking
up some of the slack in the housing g
problem and making it nicer for
both them and their families. Many
Of the ladies help by doing laundry
work and other services of the
kind for men not SO fortunate.
The camp engineering staff is at
tempting to help H. P. Twitchell
solve the problem, Glow many dol
lars worth of equipment does it
take to catch a fish out of the Mus
kingum?" He has not solved it yet,
maybe because he goes down below
the dam after he (and the fish, has
had his supper. But one of these
days he will connect with the sucker
he is looking for, and then all that
tackle will be considered a good in
yestment.

fense, said he picked up two
fares outside the. Squadron A
Armory, Madison Avenue and
Ninetyfourth Street. The moment
they entered the cab, Porter testi
fled, one Of them, afterward identi
fled as Bronson, began to abuse
him about his color.
He Feared Attack
q Porter talked back" and the
fist fight began. Bronson, the
Negro testified, got out of the cab
and was followed by his friend,
Frederick c. Lloyd, an engineer
living at Hotel Roosevelt. Bronson
lunged at him. Porter said he
saw a bottle in Lloyd's hand. He
continued:
II was araid they were both
going to Jump on me, so l
punched one Of the men twice
and jumped into my cab and
drove away"
He said he did not know he had
caused the death Of Bronson un-
til he was arrested two days later
a few hours after Bronson died
at Meredith Hospital, 80 East
Seventy-Sixth Street.

NEW YORK--A young Negro taxi
driver who killed a socially promi.
nent broker in q fist fight after
his race had been ridiculed was
freed in Homicide Court when the
dead mans wife and brother,
both longtime residents Of the
South, asked that the charge be
dropped.
Those who obtained freedom for
John Porter, 26, who ran away
after striking Tyler Cook Bronson
on the night of May Z, were Fred
erick C. Bronson, of Southern
Pines, N. c., a brother, and Mrs.
Gladys Burns Bronson, wife Of the
slain man. Mr.. Bronson told
Magistrate Guy Van Am1inge:
SELF-DEFENSE, HE SAYS
Holding this man will never
bring my brother back. Mrs.
Bronson and I have investigated
and we are satisfied that the
Negro chauffeur struck my
brother in Self-defense, following
an argument in which Tyler used
abusive language"
The Bronson family later was
thanked by the National AsSoci-
alton for the Advancement of
Colored People for treating the
case ION high level, with no ques-
ton of race or color raised in
court" After Magistrate Amringe
had dismissed the homicide charge
a crowd of Negroes gathered
around him and the man from
North Carolina gave coins to
Porter's two children.

CHORAL GROUP
IN CONCERT

An audience which made up in
enthusiastic response what 1t
lacked in size, was present last
night in Central High School
Auditorium when the Washington
Choral Society was heard in its
yearly spring concert conducted
by Louise Potter. The chorus has
improved greatly, and the voices
last night were well balanced and
lovely in musical quality.
Assisted by the Chamber Or
chestra. Of National Symphony
musicians, the choral society
sang well Bach's "The Four Sea-
sons" and several old madrigals,
a capella "ChanSon de Mai" sung
in French, and "Baur, Baur, was
tregst i'm Sacke," sung in Dutch,
offered a delightful contrast in
theme and singing.
But the songs by Mary Howe,
Washington's popular composer,
proved a real innovation. "Cata-
lima" and Music When Soft
Voices Die" with their lyric
quality, were followed by the
Chain Gang Song" an innova-
ton musically, and enthusiast
tically applauded by the audience.
Deems Taylor's The Cham
bered Nautilus" with Oliver Wen
dell Holmes famous poem as its
theme, was one of the finest
things heard here for a long
time; filled with imagination, in
tricate in pattern, magical in it's
effect throughout.

ROTARY NOTES

AT the regular weekly luncheon of
the Milford Rotary Club, held Mon
day at the Hotel Windsor, the pro-
gram was essentially one concern
ing the Armistice Day anniversary.
Max Cohen, well-knOwn Milford
merchant, made a talk relating to
Armistice, and a review of the pres
ent situation. Mr. Cohen said that
Armistice Day is well named. mean
ing as Il does a temporary stOppSSe
of hOstilities, the war is not over,
the nations are merely exhausted.
The issues of the past great war are
not yet settled. and the conflict will
he renewed as soon as the nations
are ready Mr.. Cohen further re
marked that America will not be
able to stay out of the pending
struggle. and while our boys went
across the sea to make the world
safe for democracy, relationships
have sprung up that threaten the
liberties of the people on the Euro
pean continent. The recent assassi-
nation of the King of YugOslavia
has not helped to steady the already
shaky foundations of peace.
Mr.. Cohen said that Germany has
been driven to desperation and mad
ness, and in her madness has re-
sorted to the persecution of the in
nocent. Mr.. Cohen said he heartily
agreed With President Roosevelt's
program to strengthen the navy,
and that our country should be pre-
pared to face the inevitable resump-
tion of hostilities. These remarks Of
Mr.. Cohen's brought sharp criti-
cisms from George Perry of Milford
and James H. Bishop of Dover. Both
Mr.. Perry, who is a Milford mer-
chant and Mr.. Bishop, who is affili-
ated with the NJ. E. Church as a
leader in Sunday school work, also
spoke. e
