Facts and Folks
OF WINDSOR
(By c. B. Ray)

We had been hunting the rec
ords of III. L. Pugh Post, No. $50,
G.. A. r. 1t seems that our help
ers here have been unable to direct
us to who has the records, or knows
where they are. We are still hop
ing that We may find them. We
might also tell you at this time
that our inquiry regarding Phil H.
Sheridan Post, McConnelsville,
brought the same answer. Who
knows and will tell us?
We find that Morgan county
Gently in conversing with VIM. En-
bree, one of our former neighbor
boys, we happened to think that he
is not only interested, but posted on
things historical, and descendant
Of Civil war veteran, being a
grandson of the late w. T. Fland-
ers. He informed us where he
thought the records were, and now
we are hot on the lead, which we
believe will bring results. Then in
cur work in The evening we met
our good friend Carl Patterson,
who informed us that he is follow
ing our writing, and that the vii
1age of Stockport was layed out by
--Sidwell. We came near
writing Mr. when We happened
to think that this man Sidwell was
member of the Friends church
and they do not use the prefxes
when writing of Carl and Edith,
and we like it. Carl went on to
tell us that Sidwell layed out both
Stockport and Chesterhill; that
when he (CarD was attending
Friends meeting in England, the
churches at Chesterfield and Wind
sor brought in reports Those
churches were seven miles apart,
We have long known that "Ches-
terfeld'' now "Chesterhill" is seven
miles from Windsor, now Stockport,
and by the way yesterday evening
when we looked for the tree that
marked the half way point between
Lue TWO villages at the line between
the former Shook and Miner, now
the Pierpoint-Steffy farms, is gone,
or the road has been changed. We
noticed tree north of the road
which looks like the one we remem-
'ber as standing on the road in
1909. Of course those of you who
know at least a little history, re-
member William Penn, and will no
doubt at once think that Penns-
vile was originally mostly made up
of Friends. While every man and
woman of that faith we have ever
known has been our friend, we
can't help thinking we would rath-
er use the word Quaker, then we
can say Carl, Quaker, is my
friend"
We have spent some time in the
cemetery; while we are not ready
to write of the folks sleeping there,
we want to tell you that the
grounds are nicely kept. We come
to point in our writing often
where we wonder why we didn't
start with those who played on the
stage, making it possible for the
present generation to carry on and
now sleep, while their offsprings
enjoy the fruits of their labors.

CANNERY WORKERS
MUST HAVE SOCIAL
SECURITY NUMBERS

Every person who workers in cam
merry or preserving establishment DUR
ing the present season must have a
social security account number. This
statement is made by Mr.. S. E. STRAIT
ton, manager of the Hamilton, Ohio,
field office of the Social Security
Board.
"This year canneries are increasing
their output, as much of their produc-
ton is required for the armed forces.
This means working forces in can
neries will be increased. With male
labor scarce, many housewives will be
employed in preserving foods. Many
of these women have not served in
covered employment since January
1887, when the Social Security Act
went into effect.
"Women who will work in canneries
should obtain their social security
cards before they enter upon their new
jobs and should be sure their employ
ers copy down the name and number
exactly as they appear on the cards
Account numbers are issued at oul
field office in the new postoffice build
ing in Hamilton, Ohio, or applications
may be obtained at any postoffice ant
mailed to our office"

GOOD EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
RULING

No matter what priority for man
power an employer has, he will not be
sent workers if his wage levels are
substandard. Instructions to this eff
feet have been issued to the U. S. En-
ployment Service in a directive from
the Manpower Commission.
The ruling specified that: "If the
U. S. Employment Service, on the
basis of it's own information or of au-
thoritative information from other
sources, has reason to believe, with
respect to any plant, factory +. that
the wages and conditions of work are
not at least as advantageous to a
worker referred to a Job opening
therein as those prevailing for similar
work in similar establishments in the
industrial area, the Director of the
U. S. E. S. may provide for executing
such establishments from the provi-
sion of paragraph | hereof ii. e., ex-
erting the maximum efforts of the
Employment Service to recruit OF
place workers for any activity at the
employing establishment.)"

KILL THE WEEDS!

Every community in the nation
might follow with benefit to itself and
the nation the example of New York
and Chicago in outlawing as public
nuisances weeds which spread hay
fever and otherwise menace health.
Both cities have passed stringent or
dinances designed to destroy ragweed
and other noxious weeds.
Such weeds cause an immense
amount of illness. Means to eradicate
them are known and should be used.
Particularly at this time, when pres
ervation of health is all-important in
the war effort, there is no excuse for
tolerating harmful weeds in towns and
cities. They are fifth columnists who
deserve the death sentence.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

by railways, 20 per cent by inland
waterways, and only per cent by
truck
Notwithstanding III e tremendous
significance of the German railways
in peace and war the Hitler govern
ment determined to treat this vital
transportation factor as stepchild
and to concentrate instead upon the
construction and development of su-
per-highways. These highways, for
which there was little economic need,
are one of Hitler's famous pet ideas.
They have proven the most vulnerable
spots of Germans economic and war
structure.
As things stand today most of the
fast trains have been cancelled. I'm
moved freight is piling up higher and
higher and it takes weeks to move ac-
cumulated loads. In addition, allied air
attacks have disrupted vital transpor-
tation centers such as Cologne, Ham,
over, and Hamburg, and thrown mill
tary supply transports hopelessly out
of schedule.
Last, but not least, the hostile atti-
tude of the German railway workers
spells disaster to the Nazi regime.
Germany's railway workers unions
have always occupied leading place
in the international labor movement
and particularly in the International
Transport Workers Federation. Not
withstanding Nazi prosecutions and
tyranny their members have remained
true to the cause of democracy and
freedom. Silently fighting shoulder to
shoulder with the fellow workers OF
the oppressed countries, they leave
nothing undone to hasten the collapse
of the totalitarian system.
Uncounted railwaymen have sacri.
feed their lives for freedom and la.
boris rebirth. The fact that Germany
railways have become the most serious
bottlenecle of the Nazi war effort is il
large measure due to them.

FRIDAY, JULY "a, 1912.
PROTECTING THE WOOD SUPPLY

Clifford Pinchot, noted forester and
conservationist, points out in letters
to the newspapers that the huge
amount of timber necessary for the
war effort can be taken from our for
ests without running them. Wood is
crop, he emphasizes, and can be cut
SO that more wood will be produced.
But, he says, instead of cutting ou1
forests under forestry SO that they car
grow more wood, "we are cutting al
most all of them in a way to prevent
them from growing more wood. We
are cutting them as if we were going
to need no wood after the war is over
"That," he truly says, "is pure
foolishness."
Pinchot also emphasizes that only
wood on state and national forests is
safe. That comprises about one-quar-
ter of our timber lands. The remain
ing three-quarters of our timber lands
are in private hands and subject to
destruction unless forestry methods
are used.
To save the forests, Pinchot urges
immediate passage of federal legisla-
tion which, without interfering in any
way with winning the war, will safe.
guard our forests and our future wooC
supply. AS a veteran forester, he
gives assurance that this is possible
and practical.
Pinchot's argument deserves th'
sympathetic consideration of ever,
American who wishes to safeguard th'
future of the country.

VTTHEN the history of the second
w world war is written, it will be
seen that the defeat of Germany was
due to the Nazi neglect of standard
transportation means, particularly the
railroads.
This is the opinion of executives OF
the international Transport Workers
Federation, who support their opinion
with an interesting report on the state
of the German railway system. They
say:
The Hitler blitzkrieg served its pur-
pose as long as it was truly "blitz-
krieg," with a quick all-out victory in
sight. But when it became evident
that Hitler's smashing victories meant
little in the long run and that the war
was dragging on for years, the trans
portation shortcomings and the negll-
gence of the allegedly super-efficient
Nazi machine became at once visible.
Fuel, oil, lubricants and other material
shortages no less than the long drawn
out battle lines of the German armies
complicated the German position. The
railway system, which had been al
lowed to deteriorate ever since Hitler
assumed power in 1883, wore out much
faster than it could be replaced.
Today the German railways are in
state of neglect which can hardly be
imagined. AS far back as 1888, more
than 100000 freight cars or the larger
part of the German rolling stock had
become obsolete. The outbreak of the
war in the following year taxed the
capacity of the German railways to the
utmost; practically no requirements
were forthcoming except those fur
nished by conquest and seizure of roll
ing stock in the conquered countries
of Eastern, Western and Northern
Europe.
No modern industrial country de.
pends to such an extent on it's railway
system as Germany. Seventy eight
per cent of the moving load is carried
