Walter Madrzykowski repre-

of former sandlot ball players,
expressed the appreciation of
the Old Timers group to Coun-
Gilman Burke for sponsoring
legislation to maintain baseball

To Train Workers
Tom Downes, assistant state
CIO-PAC director, Columbus,

The meeting went on record

the necessary arrangements for
such course.

We Day Is Here
We Day is here, insofar as
the production front is con-
cerned, even though it hasn't
been officially announced in
Allied communiques.
Hiland G.. Batcheller, chief of
operations for the WPB, admit
ted as much when he revealed
that cutbacks in production,
which had been planned for
We Day, have already been
ordered.
Many such cutbacks and can
cellations of contracts. were an
nounced during the past fort
night, particularly in aircraft
and shipbuilding. More such re-
ductions are on the way - in
radar, radio, artillery, communi-
cations equipment, tanks and
certain other munitions, authori-
tative Washington reports indi-
cate.
WPB economists estimate the
cutbacks during May will re-
suit in the layoffs of 100000
workers.
Orders Scaled Down
Under-Secretary of War Ro-
bert P. Patterson let is be
known publicly that as result
of the virtual collapse of Ger
man resistance there will be a
sharp scaling down of Army re-
quirements. This will be re-
Elected, he said, in ."substan-
tial'' cutbacks during the next
80 to go days.
Meanwhile, Batcheller dis
closed that the government is
now banking on complete
mop-up of serious German re-
sistance by July /, and that
plans have been completed to
conduct only a one-front war
after that against Japan.
Behind the cold, hard figures
is, of course, the human prob
lem of jobs for workers laid off. |
So far, relatively little has been |
done by either Congress or the
Administration to take up the |
slack, union spokesmen point |
out.
Orderly Reconversion Asked
In conferences with govern
ment officials unions have been
insisting that an orderly recon-
version program be worked out,
SO as to facilitate the shift of |
laid-off workers to civilian pro-
duction without undue delay.
Unions are also keeping up
their battle for wage increases
so that workers will be able to
enter the reconversion period

 Both Army and Marine units were three miles or more inland. Within the eight and-three-quarter- -mile- long beachhead lay dozen or more villages, all of which had been cap- tured or by-passed.
 The Japanese were known to have 0.000 to 80.000 troops on Okinawa and their failure to oppose the landing was even more surprising in view of the fight to the death put up by the enemy garrison at Two. Heavily Populated

Cooperation In
Fire Prevention

r. D. Alliston, Farm Security
Administration supervisor, said
this week that all FSA families in
the county will be asked to CO.
operate during Fire Prevention
Week, beginning October z, by
seeking out and eliminating all
possible fire hazards around their
homes and farms.
According to u. S. Department
of Agriculture reports, farm fires
each day last year took a toll OF
more than quarter million dollars
in property losses and an average
of 10 lives. Destruction of lives and
property was the worst in Il years.
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
Anderson has asked all department
employees to assist in every pos
sible way in promoting fire pre-
vention programs, Mr.. Alliston
oe'lSt. lids Cdl1CQ
on all citizens for a united effort
to overcome the fire menace,
which he said has attained Sin
creasingly grave proportions"
The FSA supervisor said FSA
families have been enrolled in a
year-round program of fire pre-
vention and farm safety. A check
list is being used with each family
to detect fire and accident hazards.
Three precautions are advised as
follows:
l. Learn to recognize and hunt
out the accident and fire hazards
on the farm and in the farm home.
2. Correct or remove those ha-
yards that you can.
8. Learn to live and work safely
with those hazards that cannot be
Immediately corrected or removed.

Children are healthier, minds are

cipline trouble markedly reduced.
tuberculosis. dental decay, and
hookworm disease are some of the
major health problems for which
medical science has some of the
answers, but about which far too
little has been done. It is the pro-
vince of health education to create
an awareness of these and other
health problems in people, to give
them needed information and to
galvanize them into doing some
thing toward remedying such con-
ditionS."
Describing some of the ways
health educators serve counties and
communities, Miss Hassell said that
the health educator finds out first
what the chief problems are and
then assists teachers and organized
groups, women's clubs and volun-
tary health agencies in working
out the best possible solutions of
these problems. In some parts of
the county where no organization
exists the health educator helps
interested individuals form special
study groups or committees and is
available for consultation and
guidance in the use of educational
material, Miss Hassell reported.

Path To Better Lining
Speaking before the Agriculture
Industry Conference of Illinois al
Decatur last week, Secretary OF
Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson
used a theme The Path to Better
Living"
Said her, 'Too many of us for
too long have had the idea that
the farmer is the farmer and the
buuslness man is the businessman
and never the twain shall meet
This conference in Decatur effec-
lively bellies all such nonsense. II
recognizes that the farmer is bus

"As businessmen farmers are in
tersted in big volumes at fair
prices. If there is any one here who
may have the idea that farmers
like to curtail production, I want
to say one things as emphatically
as | possibly can: Nothing would
make the farmers of the United
States happier than the opportun-
ity to produce to the limit for q
population with enough food dol
lars in its pocket to buy the output
at fair prices"
Continuing, the Secretary said
Most of us know that there is only
one way to achieve a reasonable
fcsimile of this happy situation
That way is the full employment
at good wages"
Turning again to the business as
poets of farming, the Secretary
said: Farmers, being in business
have to keep an eye on relative
costs. One of the costs that the far
mer thinks about is the cost of la
Dor. Now the short-sighted farmer
may be pleased when he can get
hired help at a very low wage. But
the farsighted farmer doesn't like
that situation at all. He knows thai
past experience that low farm
wages come with hard times. 1

of the State Board of Health. Call
ing attention to health education
work carried on constantly by
teachers, physicians, health work
ers, dentists and nurses, Miss Has
sell pointed out the wide range of
activities covered by these efforts.
Since people are affected phys

by the food they eat, proper nutri-

Miss Hassell "The result of serv-
