New Executive
Urged for Group
Aiding Crippled
National Official
Presents Advice at
Stormy Meeting

The board of the District Society
for Crippled Children was advised
by . national society representative
last night to. get another executive
secretary.
The advice came from Luther G.
Hester, national extension director,
at q stormy meeting called to dis
cuss resolution from the National
Executive Board, giving the District
group so days to reorganize or face
expulsion from the society.
After individual members pro-
tested what they referred to vari-
ously as the arbitrary" and wrong
attitude of the national group, the
District board voted:
l. To review the qualifications of
the present executive secretary, Mrs.
Jewell Gaffney, and to submit its
findings to the national society.
2. To adopt the standards of the
national society and make them
effective as soon as possible.
3. To accept the national society's
of1er to send a representative to
work intensively with and advise
the board and stan of the District
society on its services and admins
tration. It was specified that this
representative should have all the
qualification Mr.. Hester outlined
for a good executive secretary.
Calls for Public Action.
Mr.. Hester repeatedly told the
group the society has been publicly
criticized and will have to take
public action to regain the con-
fidence OF the community.
We pointed to q series Of en-
ployes designations, protests from
parents, the lack of a certified audit
and the fact that the board itself
has felt it necessary to set UP q
reorganization plan-a plan which
he said would not work.
In answer to questions from board
members. he said he did not believe
Mrs. Gaffney is qualified for what
is getting to be big administra-
tive job.
Several members of the board
quickly rose to Mrs. Gaffneys de-
tense, contending she had kept pace
with the expansion Of the society
and that the growth Of the society
was evidence of her ability as an
administrator.
Mrs. Beulah Drake, president Of
the society. said the executive Sec
retary persisted in the viewpoint
that the society existed primarily to
serve crippled children, with less
emphasis on the physical and psy-
Geological comforts to the staff"
Action Called Inadequate"
The board. which only last week
voted to give Mrs. Gaffney . vote
OF confidence, was told by Mr.. Hes
ter that its action at that time was
inadequate"
The meeting opened with mem
bers protesting that the national
group had sent its statement to tho
press before the District board had
acted on 1t. Mr.. Hester explained
that the statement was mailed to
board members at the same time 1t
was mailed to q national repre-
sentative here for distribution to
the press.
Society Treasurer Albert w. How
ard said the national group made
me so mad I'd like to see the Dis
trict society resign from the ma
tional society"

Fit the Indians?
Then You're Due
For Pension Increase

Veterans and dependents of
deceased veterans of the Indian
Wars will receive a 20 per cent
in crease in their service pen
sions effective with payments
due for the month of March, Vet
erans Administration said today.
The increase approved by Con-
greSs in January, will affect about
$50 living veterans, 2,100 widows
and some so helpless children of
deceased Indian war veterans.
Under the increased rates,
which followed the granting of
similar increases for pensioners
of other wars, the veterans will
receive from S24 to Sl00 per
month, depending upon extent of
disability, age and qualifying
statute. Widows rates will range
from $50 to $50 monthly, with
additional allowances for child
rem.
VA said the average age today
of Indian War veterans is IS
years, and that dependents aver
age 80 years of age. Adjustments
in the amount of payment will
be made automatically by VA
and will be reflected in checks
issued for periods subsequent to
March |.

CRASH HERE FATAL
TO CLEVELAND MAN

Oscar l.. West, 46, of Cleveland,
died en- route to White Cross
hospital of injuries received when
he crashed his automobile into
culvert on State route 4, one
mile north of Marysville, Monday
afternoon.
Sheriff H. S. Roosa, who invest
igated the accident, said it is
believed that West fell asleep
while driving, as there were no
marks on the road to indicate he
had tried to stop.
Mr., West, a representative of
the Shell Oil Co., was alone in
the car. He was Immediately
taken to the office of DR.. H. E.
Stricken and then rushed on
toward the hospital in the Faulk-
ner ambulance, but died before
reaching the hospital.
West was heading toward Ma
rysville when his car slipped off
the west side of the road causing
him to crash the right front of his
automobile into the culvert. West
received badly crushed chest
and other injuries. The body was
taken to the William Faulkner
funeral home, until funeral ar
rangements were made.

FARMERS SHARE
GREATEST OF ANY
in PRICE DECLINE
Recent Drop in Level
Confined Almost All
To Farm Products

The 4 per cent decline in gener-
al price levels which occurred be-
tween January Is and March Is
was a contribution made almost
entirely by the farmers of the
U. S. In that period, the whole
sale price of farm products went
down 8 per cent but the whole
sale price of foods dropped only
6 per cent.
Rural economists at Ohio State
University point out that whole
sale prices. on metals, textiles,
fuel, building materials, and home
furnishings showed little or no
tendency to decline in the weeks
that took a big bite out of farm
income. However, the economists
anticipate that growing list of
commodities will be sold on a
sellers rather than a buyers
market later in 1948.
The economists say there has
been little change in the general
economic picture except more
cautious attitude adopted by
businessmen. Employment con-
tinues at high level, there still
are shortages of basic goods, in
comes of non-farm people are
rising, there are prospects of some
tax cuts, and foreign countries
continue to demand some pro-
ducts.
The factors which may work
to bring down price levels later
are an expected decrease in ex-
ports, payments on>national debts,
and curtailment of plans for eX-
panSion of business and industry
by men who were frightened by
the February break in prices. De-
partment stores sales indicate
decline in buying when the sales
for early 1948 are compared with
the volume in late l947.
Farmers, on March |, reported
they intended to plant little
larger total acreage of the prin-
cipal crops this year than they
planted in 1947. Ohio farmers say
they will plant 7 per cent more
corn, 40 per cent moRe oats and
81 per cent more barley than in
l947; but the Buckeye growers
claim they will cut their soybean
acreage 8 per cent below the l947
level.

Mr.. Lausche, whose term as

.SOYBEANS BRING
COUNTY'S FARMERS
IN AZ
Estimate 479.000
Bushels of Crop Raised
Here Last Season

Soybean growers in Union
County received S1,629,OO0 of the
go million dollars paid to Ohio
growers for the 1947 soybean
crop of 18 million bushels, accord
ing to a survey of corn belt ex-
pertinent stations and agricultur-
al colleges. This figure is based
on conservative value of S3.40
per bushel. An estimated 479,000
bushels of soybeans were harVeS-
ted by Union County farmers.
Ward Calland, managing di-
rector of the National Soybean
Crop Improvement Council, says
that aside from the large return
that farmers get for their soy
beans, second important reason
for the popularity of the soybean
is that it removes less plant food
from the soil than most other
farm crops.
''The soybean takes less from
the soil because it makes an i'm
portant part of the food it needs, !"
Mr.. Calland states. "An annual
legume, the soybean adds some
nitrogen to the soil. When proper
ly inoculated the soybean plant
gets much of its nitrogen from the
air and when only the beans are
removed from the field more nj
trogen is left than the plant drew
from the soil.
While this nitrogen is not large,
the survey sets forth, compared
with nitrogen losses of so pounds
from a so bushel corn crop, 26
pounds from 40 bushels of oats,
or 35 pounds from IS bushels of
wheat, it puts the soybean crop
on the right side of the ledger
for its nitrogen supply. Nitrogen
is the most expensive plant food
nutrient added to the soil in the
form of fertilizer.
This advantage of the soybcan
is told by Ohio State University
agro onom i S is in Bulletin 207
Farming with Soybeans", ac-
cording to Mr.. Calland. They
classify soybeans one-half as soil
depicting as small grain crops
such as wheat and oats but find
them only one-fourth as soil de-
pleting as corn.
