EMERGENCY FLOUR
IN NLOCALSTORES

Local grocers have reported that
their flour stocks now consist Of
the new, supposedly darker "em-
ergency flour. Upon examination,
however, it is hard to notice any
difference between the new and
older type of flour.
Experts say that the new flour
(Called 80 percent extraction"
by the trade) won't call for any
new recipes, only a little shuffling
of the old reliables. Bread, if you
still bake your own, will turn out
much the same as formerly, only
don't let your bread rise as much
as before.
Cakes, they say, will still taste
good, but they won't be quite as
light and delicate. This also goes
for pancakes, pies, cookies and
baking powder biscuits. Party
cake recipes-eXperts suggest that
these take a rest in the back of
the files while home bakers con
centrate on spice, chocolate, brown
sugar and gingerbread cakes to
mask the new flourS Wheaty flaw

EMPLOYMENT GAIN
OF 285 PREDICTED
FOR UNION COUNTY
Estimated 1919 Persons
To Be Hired By Firms
With 3 Or More Workers

An estimated 1919 persons will
be employed in Union county by
April Is, according to a state re-
port of the Ohiv Postwar Pro-
gram commission This is an in
crease of 285 over the number en-
ployed Sept. Is, 1945.
OF the total, the biggest salary
will be employed in manufactur-
ing, with 928 expected to find jobs
in this line of work. Wholesale and
retail businesses will provide en-
ployment for $40 while service
trades will engage 81 and trans
portation, AZ.
Employment will rebound 1885,
900 above the September, 1915 low
of 1,636,0O0 workers sometime
within the coming months, it was
announced by the postwar pro-
gram commission.
The estimate was announced
after a Seven-month compilation
of replies to a queStionnaire sent
to $4,000 employers. The gain was
originally expected to be reached
throughout the state by April Is,
but because of strikes and other
bitches" in the reconversion pro-
gram since the estimates were
made, "the forecasts of increased
employment may actually occur
some months later than originally
predicted"
The survey reached only en-
ployers of three or more employees
covered under the Ohio unem-
ployment compensation law, and
did not include professional PEI
sons, domestics, farm workers,
Self-employed persons, or employ
ees of any governmental unit from
township to federal government
Committee members estimated
that the covered total probably
was about so percent of all the
workers in the state.
The employers were asked to
give their September employment
figures with forecasts for Jan. Is
and April Is of this year. The to-
tai forecast for Jan. Is was l.
, 721,0 900 workers but no infOrma-
ton was available on wehther the
NHyoz ,,o liunI
The April Is forecast, when re-
allied, will be 1876 percent higher
than the 1,575,689 employed in
September, 1910, when the state
was still on time basis. A
mid-war peak employment of
21O1, ,473 was registered in Sep
tember, 1943, or 80 percent higher
than the 1910 figure.

ing. A large quantity of new furni-
utre was also burned.

One OF, the most complete wrecks
he has Investigated in his 10 years

ment abutment on the Bellefon-
taine rd., about 2 miles west of Ma
rysville at z am, Friday.
Wakefield told Sheriff Roosa he
must have gone to sleep at the
wheel because he knew nothing of
what happened until he picked
himself up from the middle of the
wreckage.
The truck, headed toward Ma
rysville, swerved across the road
and head-on into the cement abut-
ment on the north side of the high
way. The tractor went into the
ditch with the trailer coming to
rest partially on the cab and par
TALLY in the field. The trailer, un-
loaded, did not upset.

the cab by the impact, but evil

several feet to end up beneath the
wreckage.
Covered with dirt and grease he
was brought into Marysville by a
passing motoriSt who took him to
the Sheriff's residence. The Sher-
iff, in turn, took him to local
physician for treatment.
Wakefield then waited in the
Sheriffs office until he could catch
a bus for Chicago.

as completely demolished as any
accident he has ever investigated.

FARMERS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EARLY
SPRING TO GET CAUGHT UP ON WORK

early spring planting.
So far most of the fruit seems to
be safe, it is reported, although
the early budding has worried

The same worries have prevail
ed for flower gardeners who spent
considerable time during the past
few weeks pushing bulbs back into
the ground, the thawing and freez-
ing having heaved them to the sur
face. Easter and spring poSies are
Towering much earlier than usual
this year and cool evenings, threat
ening frost, have caused many
flower lovers to cover their flower
beds.

bout %, of Allen township, who
suffered numerous cuts and bruises.
The other boy, Bob Overfield, also

into about 36 hours previous in
order to avoid hitting the auto
mobile of Chester Austin, 35, of
