Redwood Mon Tried
In Mdrion Lost Week

Dale Slemmons, 80, of Rich
wood, appeared in common pleas
court for trial under, an indict-
ment for possessing and uttering
a forged check.
Judge Smith heard the case
without jury, waived by the de-
PENDANTS attorneys Moore and
Myers.
Slemmons was indicted by the
fall grand jury after being
charged with rendering the check
at Young's service station May 90.
He pleaded not guilty to the in
dictment and was sent to Lima
for mental observation where he
was found, in the opinion of ply
sicians there, accountable for his
actions. His defense is that he had
been suffering acute alcoholism at
the time of the alleged check
passing incident.-Ma Star.

Moreover, it gives the other
three on the squad better
chance to break in for lay-up
shots and the team as a whole
performed far more smoothly Fri
day night than it did at any time
in either the London or Plain City
tits.
Redwood employed a quick
breaking offensive coupled with
set plays which proved especially
effective in the first half. Hitting
for high percentage of their
baskets, the Tigers were very
much in the thick of things all the
way. Marysville's tight defense
the second half slowed the Rich
wood down, but Shields and Cen
ey, in particular, were therats
every time they got their hands
on the ball within range of the
bucket.
These two lads, together with
HarriSon's effective ball handling
and floor play, were Richwood's
outstanding players. They are alb

Close First Half
The entire first half was nip
and-tuck affair as the Marysville
and Redwood teams traded al
most point for point. Neither team
had margin of more than three
points at any time.
During the first quarter,
Shields and Cheney carried the
Tigers to one-point lead, l1-10,

Fire that apparently originated

church in Broadway Thursday
evening. According to reports,
the blaze started about 6:45 p. m.
A fire had been built in the
stove to warm the church, one
story frame building, in prepara-
ton for a prayer meeting to be
held that night. Because of a de-
fective flue, fire broke out on the
roof and was well under way be-

President Truman Stresses
Civil Rights

President Harry s. Truman, IN
a message of greetings to the 41st
Annual Meeting Of the American
Jewish Committee, held at the
Hotel Commodore in New York,
declared:
"Civil rights are not easily at
tanned, but once attained they are
easily lost. The preservation and
extension Of civil rights will de-
pend in a large measure on such
organizations as the American
Jewish Committee, which through
out it's history has championed
the cause of tolerance and in so
doing has contributed to the
strengthening Of American democ-
racy."
President Truman called atten-
ton to the recent report of the
Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights "embodying many recon-
mendations for the extension of
individual rights" and expressed
his confidence that the American
Jewish Committee twill find re-
Elected in this stimulating report
many of the goals it has set for
itself and will continue to work
for their attainment" He ex-
pressed the hope that 1913 will be
a year of significant progress to-
ward the achievement of a nobler
social order"

u. 5. Farmers Asked
To Boost Food Output
TO Meet '49 Demand
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

The Government staked more
chips on continued prosperity today
asking farmers to produce extra
poultry, milk. vegetables, sheep and
lambs next year.
Anticipating continued high con-
sumner demands" the Agriculture
Department announced these 1949
goals:
Poultry-35, 100000 turkeys and
TOO, ,000,0 900 young chickens-a 10 per
cent increase. 1t suggested, how
ever, that this years estimated total
of 425, 900 900 laying hens be cut by
20, ,000,0 900. That would give each
person an average of $40 eggs-in-
stead Of 380-during the year, and
about four pounds of turkey and 23.5
pounds of chicken.
Milk-a 3 per cent boost to 120,-
000, 900 900 pounds. The department
didn't say what that amounts to per
person, but it did give a per Cow fig
ure: Better than this years record
OF 5,000-pound average.
| C26G xuCEGASS A$kG0s
Vegetables - With acreage in.
creased to 7l7,850, the department
suggested per cent more lims
beans, sweet corn and cucumbers
7 per cent more snap beans; u per
cent more sweet potatoes; 4 per
cent more beets and watermelons
and per cent more tomatoes
Goals for peas. peppers, cabbage
carrots, cauliflower and spinach will
be the same as this years, but q
cut was advised on lettuce, celery
cantaloups, honey-dews and onions
Sheep and lambs-the addition OF
at least 100000 to this years flock
of 2s,50o 900.
The department already has
called for II per cent increase in
the 194s spring pig crop-to insure
more pork chops for next fall and
winter.
Since consumption of farm prod
ucts tends to rise and fall with
business and employment conditions
the call for increases was taken as
q favorable straw In the economic
wind.
From this years record farm pro-
duction, the department said, Amer
leans have had IA per cent more to
eat than in prewar years. while
breaking all marks in the amount
Of food sent overseas.
During the crop year ended last
July l, this country exported 49,
1000 long tons Of food. mostly
grain, topping the previous years. s
record by $4,000 tons.
Ask Cut In Wheat, Potatoes.
But because Of the huge wheat
and potato production, the depart
ment has asked farmers to cut down
next years planting to prevent
market-glutting surpluses.
To get help for the tasks ahead
thousands of farmers, meanwhile
were reported offering homes and
jobs to displaced Europeans being
brought to this country.
Edward M. O'Connor, q member
Of the Displaced Persons Commis-
sion, told newsmen yesterday his
ofnce Is being flooded" by re-
quests-mostly from farmers in the
Central and North Central States.
BY next May, he said, some 10000
homeless Europeans will be brought
to this country every month. Under
the bill Congress passed last sum-
mer 205 900 selected from the dis
placed lists will be admitted within
the next two years.
