A mid-May survey of the Ohio
peach crop indicated better produc-
ton in the south half of the state
than in 1945 but less peaches in the
north half. Total production for the
state may not be more than so per
cent of the 1916 Ohio harvest. The
peach crop of northern U. S. in
1916 probably will be as good or
better than average.

Paint Insulation

The same paint which acts as an
insulator for the wall in summer
also helps to keep the house warm
er in winter by sealing the outside
surface against moisture and keep
ing it from penetrating through the
walls. Water is many times as rap
id conductor of heat or cold as
air, which fact indicates the econ
omy and advantage of a dry wall
as compared with a water-soaked
enc in both summer and winter.

Tax Slash Became Effective
On Tuesday; Many To Benefit

Washington-Wage earners got
"pay raise" and big business a
windfall Tuesday when new tax
cuts become effective.
Under the $500, 100000 tax
reduction bill passed in Novem-
Der, both big and little taxpay-
ers benefit and about 100000
people with very low incomes
stop paying any taxes.
The tax collector will claim a
small chunk of the incomes of the
100000 to 100000 individuals
left on the tax rolls. So extra
dollars will start appearing in
paychecks received on or after
New Years Day-even though
the pay is for time worked in
1945.
For example, under the reduc-
ed tax rates, man with no de-
pendents who makes $50 a week
has had $500 withheld for taxes.
This weekly deduction will drop
to $3.50.

While world and national news

Much of the local news was re-

there was some development and
many plans for further develop
ment in the county that merited

Pres. To Address
Nation i Tonight
May Talk Of Foreign Affairs
AS Well As Special Pro-
posed Legislation

Washington - President Tru-
man started 1916 resolved to put
across his legislative program in
a New Year that poses many
problems.
Aboard the presidential yacht
Williamsburg, Mr.. Truman was
knitting together a speech aimed
at lining up public backing be-
hind that program. Tonight the
President goes on the air to talk
directly to the people.
He has started, too, to draft a
"state of the union message for
Congress, to tell it what he wants
after it goes back to work Jan. Ia.
Congress so far has shown no
laundering for showing the Tru-
man legislative plan ahead in its
entirety.
One of Americas biggest prob
lens in this first, full, postwar
year is linked directly to a late
addition to the program. To help
settle strikes, Mr.. Truman has
asked Congress to say that there
must be no major work stoppages
while fact-finding boards look in
to the labor disputes threatening
to bring them on.
Some of his proposals are tied
in also with such peacetime ques-
tons as squirting reconversion,
combating initiation, and keeping
unemployment in check.
Both the address to the people
and the message to Congress may
survey the international scene in
the light of agreements on world
political issues and on methods for
tackling atomic energy controls.
The agreements were worked out
in Moscow at conference of Rus
sian, British and American For
eign Ministers.
