SAYS CHANGES WILL HURT
CHANCES FOR FUNDS

Taking issue with the statement
Of chamber of commerce Presi-
dent Everett Russell that he
would prefer to see the proposed
Key West recreation center To-
Gated at a site other than jackson
Square, Mayor Willard NJ. Albury
today declared any effort to move
the center would hurt the city's
chances of getting federal money.
We have been working on this
project for more than 80 days.
during which time Mr.. Russell
apparently was not greatly in
terested, the mayor said. q be-
lieve it is a poor time now for
anyone to decide they want the
center in another place"
Although the SIS, 1000 recreation
building eventually will become
city property, Mayor Albury said
1t is primarily a service for army
and navy men and would not be
built except for their benefit. The
army and navy specifically re-
qGeSted the Jackson Square site
because it Is convenient to the
navy yard and most of the SOL
dierS come down town when they
are outside the reservation. he
said.
Russell yesterday said he is not
certain he would recommend Bay
view Park for the center. but he
said he is opposed to its location at
Jackson Square, in the rear of the
courthouse.
Approval for the center has
been granted by President Roose-
welt and blue prints are being
drawn up with the courthouse
grounds as the site.

GIVES FIGURES ON SURPLUS FOODS
THAT ARE NOW BEING SENT ABROAD


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.--while
you're trying to figure out the
astronomical cost of defense,
add the item of $500, DOC. 900 for
surplus food, and check it off as
money to be spent to feed the
nations fighting Hitler-especial-
ly the British.
For that's what Uncle Sam is
committing himself to spend on
lend-leaSe food in the next year
or two. This assumes the Presi-
dents lend-lease bill will GO
smoothly through Congress, as
most observers forecast.
Already, under the first lend
lease bill, the government has
spent SI50,OOO,O0O for food, chief
ly for Britain. Some may have
gone to China Another S25O. OOO.-
600 IS earmarked.
What's behind all this spending
for food, and how are We going
10 spare all those victuals?
It's the farm defense program,
worked out by the Department
OF Agriculture with the help of
farm organizations, nutritionists
and people who are thinking in
terms of peace after the war
I Secretary OF Agriculture
Claude R. Wickard is leading the
effort to boost food production
His is the old World War slogan:
-FOd VIII Win the War, PLUS
the phrase and dictate the
! peace.
What's Wickard getting at?
Whether right or wrong. the
Secretary and his advisers franz
ed the program so as to increase
the production of vitamin-pack-
ed foods. and (more importantly
avoid tipping the production of
wheat, cotton, tobacco, corn and
other crops whose SURPRISES IN
recent years have brought head
aches.
Wickard reasons that Ameri-
can food producers themselves
need a better diet So do factory
workers and school children and
the underprivileged. He also sug-
gests that SURPRISES can be used
TO beat down food spectators.
! Meetings are being held in Chi
cago, Salt Lake City, New York,
Memphis and elsewhere to get
farmers behind higher food quo
tas for 1912.

victories for the German army in
IFS drive toward Moscow. but
Red communicates said the for
ward sweep of the Nazis has
been checked.
A war bulletin from Adolf
Killers headquarters in the field
said breach has been opened in
the center of the Red defense
lines. permitting German mech
anized columns to roll forward
into what the bulletin described
as the heart of the dying Russian
empire.
Berlin claimed advance units
have cut the Moscow-Smolensk
highway. breaking off the line of
retreat for Soviet mechanical
forces fighting east of Smolensk.
In the Bryansk sector, according
to the Germans. Russian soldiers
are being killed by the thousands

Force Open Jaws

Moscow said millions of re-
serves are being hurled into the
battle near Bryansk in an effort
to force open the jaws of a Ger
man trap threatening to engulf
the defending armies of General
Simeon Budenny.
Russian military men, who
had little to say about the sweep
ing German advance on Moscow
yesterday, said today the tide
definitely has been stemmed by
masses of Red troops swarming
into the battle from the east.
Carrying out their threat of a
war of humiliation, the Germans
said they are sending Stuka dive
bombers into action against
Marshal Budenny's trapped army,
showering the Red soldiers with
a storm of bombs and shells from
artillery.

NOT WITH OUR APPROVAL

question that comes up in practically every
session Of the Ohio legislature is the matter OF
taking the Bob White from the song bird list. In
other words legalize his slaughter. IT it comes up
in the present legislature we will hear the same
old argument that the quail is not so large and
healthy now as when hunted as he was some
wears back; also that they are no more plentiful,
now than then and other such argument We
would think more of those who would remove
quail from the song bird list, to come out plainly
and state that their for asking the change,
is because they want to have the fun of shooting
him for sport, and nothing else. 1t is too bad
that they can not be satisfied with shooting clay
pidgeons or some really obnoxious, good for
nothing BIRDS or animals. The quail is the farm
er friend, and the farmer should be his and rise
to his defense. The quail does not clutter up
buildings as nesting place; he does not destroy
farmers CROP but is content with the few remain
ing grains left on the field, after the farmer has
taken off the CROP Obnoxious weed seeds are
among his chief articles of diet He does not
rnuss up places where he roosts. AS to his looks
well really what bird is more charming; and
as to his song where is there more beautiful
sound than the happy cheerful Bob, Bob White?'
The legislators have many important problems
to so1ve-but the removing of quail from the
song bird list, should not be one of them

EGG AUCTIONING AGENCY

Since early last fall poultrymen
of Morgan county and surrounding
territory have been busily engaged
in trying to organize an egg auc-
tioning agency in southeastern Ohio.
1t now looks as though this agency
will become a reality in the form of
an egg auction establishment some
where within the territory. In or
der that the poultrymen of Morgan
county may understand more thor
Cughly the work that is being con-
Quoted on the project, three meet
ings have been scheduled to explain
the action taken thus far. These
meetings and dates are as follows:

out whereby only certain part OF 1t be earmark-
ed. We take it for granted that the term ear
marked" is generally understood Briefly stated
it is money set aside by law for specified use,
and cannot be used for any other purpose. For
example: The money raised from the Motor We
hicle fund.- must be used for road and street pur-
poses and nothing else.
We realize that those who hold strictly to the
belief that it should be earmarked all for road
purposes have mighty strong argument since
motorists, whether for business or pleasure, pay a
heavy tax on gasoline, and therefore feel it is
only fair and just that the money be expended on
making and more improved roads
The Motor Vehicle fund, is perhaps the easiest
tax raised in the state. When the gasoline tax
was increased few years ago, people raised but
little objection, and went ahead using just as
much gasoline as before the tax had been in
creased.
We believe that fair plan would be to con-
tinue to earmark good share of it for road pur-
poses. There still thousands of miles of un-
improved roads in the state that little better
than they were 40 years ago. when there was no
such thing as Motor Vehicle funds. The people
residing in such localities are entitled to better
roads.
AS to what to do with the remainder of the
"unearmarked" funds, would be open for wide
discussion, and the organization, having the best
lobby, most political influence, would likely
get the larger share. So might it not be good
a part of the balance. We would suggest that a
certain amount be earmarked for child welfare
While there many other worthy purposes it
strikes that the proper of children, should
have first consideration A child doesn't choose
its parents, or home, environment into which
it is born, but every child should have the very
best start in this life possible to its care its
medical attention and its education.
What more should community hope for than
a good, strong, healthy class of people, and that
can only be brought about through children get
ting the proper care and attention in early life.
10 sum it up we would advocate earmarking
tor roads the lions share of Motor Vehicles funds
and part for child welfare. AS to the remainder
being turned over to the county for general oper-
atlng expenses to return balance to various
tax subdivisions their governing officials
might not be a bad plan, provided officials always
had the courage to say NO" and to be above
using it for any purpose that might smatter in
the least degree of politics.
