Ohio Power Strike
Settlement Made

Washington-The Labor Dapart-
ment today announced settlement of
a wage dispute involving the Ohio
Power Co., one of three Ohio utility
firms threatened with a strike by
the Utility Workers Union (CIO).
Lucien F. Rye, labor department
conciliator who has presided at con-
ferences with representatives of the
union and the three companies, said
the settlement called for wage in
creases of Is cents an hour in all
rate classifications, effective Feb. l.
The settlement will be subject to
ratification by the union membership.
international officers of the union
will recommend approval.
Rye said the agreement also pro-
vided for settlement of disputes over
shift differentials and holiday pay.
In addition, employees who failed to
receive 10 per cent wage increases
granted last November will be given
lump payments of $50.
Gov. Frank J. Lausche of Ohio
called on President Truman shortly
before the settlement was announced.
He and Sen. James w. Huffman, D.,
O., discussed the strike with Mr.
Truman but declined to say what
they told him.
The union earlier had called the
presidents of seven Ohio locals to
a conference last Thursday.

c.. /. Joe Overseas

Washington-The army announced
today that the families of officers
and noncoms of the first three grades
will soon be able to join them over
seas. Families of other enlisted men
will have to wait indefinitely.
Families of enlisted men below the
rank of staff sergeant are not barred
from going, but they will have to
make their own arrangements for
travel and pay their own way.
In all cases, permission to make the
trip will be granted only when a
theater commander certifies there is
adequate housing, food and medical
care available.
The war department said that
when overseas commanders indicate
they are prepared to receive depend
ents, their travel to overseas areas
will start without delay.
No expenditures of war depart
ment funds is contemplated for con-
struction of housing for dependents
of officers of the first three grades
(master or first, technical and staff
sergeants) and certain civilian
employees.

authorized to go to the Bahamas,

the Antilles, Brazil, Bermuda, New
Foundland, Alaska, the Aleutians,

ROOSEVELT DIMES
BEING DISTRIBUTED

A limited supply of new dimes
bearing the portrait of the late Pres
ident Roosevelt is being distributed
by the Federal Reserve Bank of
Cleveland to all banks in the Fourth
Federal Reserve District which re-
quest them.
Distribution of the new coins is
being made to the banks on the
basis of population to enable the
banks to meet the probable demands
of individuals who desire such coins.
Stocks of the present Liberty head
dime, first minted 90 years ago, will
continue to be used for trade re-
quirements, Treasury officials said.
Only three other Presidents have
been honored similarly by the Treas
ury Department. The portrait of
Lincoln is on the one cent piece, that
of jefferson is on the nickel and
that of Washington is on the
quarter.

COnfederated Veterans
Set Up Headquarters

Cincinnati, Feb. 6-The Confeder-
ated Vets of World War II, a fast
growing group of veterans, has es-
tabilshed it's headquarters here.
Interested primarily in offering &C
tual assistance to the returned
servicemen or woman, the associa-
ton claims to have the broadest SER
vice and political platform of any
organization in the country.
Of most Importance to the veter-
ans themselves is the cross indexing
system set up by "Convets" for OBJ
tanning employment for its mem
bers. Upon application, each man OF
woman completes form indicating
the work they have been doing, spec
ial training or abilities they may
have, and what type of job they
would prefer. The association then
can contact all major industries OF
any certain locality and make the full
ly classified veteran labor pool avail
able, thereby assuring the industry
of a person who would understand
and be interested in his job, and the
applicant much better chance for
rapid advancement.

RABBIT PRODUCTION
FARMS PLANNED

Rabbit production on farms owned
or leased by the Ohio Division Of
Conservation including Noble county
is being planned by Conservation
Commissioner H. A. (Buck) Rider as
part of an action program to re-
store this favorite game animal as
rapidly as possible. The program will
be subject to the approval of the Ohio
Conservation Commission at its Feb
ruary meeting.
Mr.. Rider said that it probably
would be the better plan to lease
areas of a hundred or more acres
with the option to purchase the land
so that complete program of food
and cover development can be
carried out and maintained over a
period of years. The areas would be
fenced but the fences would not be
tight enough to stop the migration
of rabbits from the area if it became
over-populated.
Once a production program pro-
vides good supply of rabbits on the
/ areas the animals will be trapped
and distributed to hunting areas
which are in greatest need of re-
stocking, according to Mr.. Riders
plan. He said that land having as
much fertility as it is possible to OBJ
| tain should be selected for the rabbit

FERTILITY AFFECTS GRAIN
COMPOSITION. TESTS SHOW

Soil fertility has considerable eff
feet on the chemical composition of
crops grown, it was pointed out to-
day by specialists oof the Farm Bur-
eau Cooperative Association, Colum-
bus. They cited extension tests which
showed that corn grown on very poor
soils contained 9.9 percent protein.
This was later boosted to 1913 per
fertilizer.
This did not hold true, however,
on soils deficient in potash or phos-
phorous. Yields increased after appli-
cations of fertilizer, they said, but
potash content in the grain itself
did not increase. Enviromental fac
tors, such as soil fertility or weather,
were found to affect corn more than
inheritance factors, it was pointed
out

Lady Nearly ChOked
While Lying In Bed
Due To Stomach Gas

One lady said few days ago that
she used to be afraid to go to bed at
night. She was swollen with stomach
gas, which always got worse when
she went to bed, and the gas would
rise up in her throat after she lay
down and would nearly choke her.
She couldn't lie flat. Had to prop
herself up on pillows. Recently this
lady got ERB-HELP and now says
pas is gone, stomach feels fine,
bowels are regular and she can go to
bed and s,eeD soundly.
ERB-HELP contains 12 Great
Herbs: they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable people
soon fell different all over. So don't
go on suffering! Get ERB-HELP.

Wrigley said that sugar was the
only current supply problem, and
that despite possible losses on small
volume production, the five cents re-
tail price would be maintained be-
cause people just won't pay six
cents for a package of gum"

to amalgamate the old and the

The Eastern church and the
Western church remained at odds
on the subject Of Christmas Day
for at least four hundred years
but both bodies agreed, by con-
vention, that December Is should
be accepted as the birthday OF
Christ.
Saint Chrysostom, who died
early in the fifth century, devoted
himself to a study of the subject
and in one of his epistles ne sets

subject" and settled on December
Is as Festorum Omnium Metropo-

reference to it appears during the
reign of the Roman Emperor
