Dairy Unit Plans
Testing Of Cattle

New officers for the Union
County Dairy Service Unit were
elected Thursday evening in a
meeting of that organization.
Fred Coleman, Marysville Rt. 2,
was elected chairman; Walter
Lowe, Marysville Rt. 2, vice
chairman; Charles B. Weaver,
Marysville Rt. 3, secretary and
Frank R. Greeneisen, Marysville
r. F. D., treasurer.
Possibility of sponsoring a I'm
ion County Bangs disease test
and T. B. test was discussed by
the group and a committee was
appointed to meet with the state
veterinarian to discuss the set up
of a county program. Appointed
to the committee were Rowland
& hop, John Bouic, Fred Cole
man, c. B. Weaver and Everett
Bump.
The last County r. B. test was
made in 1912, County Agent f.
r. Greeneisen said. This test
should be made every six years,
he added.
Mr.. Greeneisen said, Not only
is it important to test for Bangs
Disease for the safety of our
herds, but also for human health"
Many persons in Union County
are being treated for undulant
fever, as the disease is known in
humans, the county agent added.
This is caused by drinking of un-
pasturlzed milk of diseased
COWS.
There is no known cure for
Bangs disease and agricultural
organizations can only hope to
curb its spread. The testing pro
gram in the county is one of the
principal ways to do this.

Short Fruit Crop
Seen This Year
Adverse Weather Hits
Trees. Dutton Points Out

Yields of fruit crops in Union
County are expected to fall far
short of the average, according
to c. E. Dutton, manager of the
Ohio Orchard Co.
Extreme cold weather of last
winter is mostly blamed for the
short peach crop, while rainy
weather conditions during the
short pollenation period of the
various fruit trees is also respon-
sible for the low yields.
The apple crop is expected to
be about one-third of the average
yield. The Ohio picture is ex-
pected to show about " the
average crop while the national
lookout forecasts an ii percent
drop from the 1947 crop, which
averaged a normal one.
All fruit is of a better quality,
Mr.. Dutton said, ''but is not as
plentiful"
The peach crop, hit harder, is
expected to yield only about one
fourth of the average crop. Last
year the county had a pretty
normal crop. The Ohio Orchard
trees had a good crop, Mr.. Dutton
stated
The cherry crop in many places
over the county had a lower yield
this year. However, the orchard
crop showed and increase, since
most of the 1947 orchard crop
was killed by frost Mr.. Dutton
said. On the average though the
crop is still only about one-fourth
of a normal.

ager of the Journal.
Several Innovations
An innovation this year will be
the use of "walkie-t -talkie" outfits
borrowed from the MarySviile
nti-Tank Company, Ohio Ma
tional Guard. These will be used
to communicate between the
starting ramp at the top of the
hill, and the finish line at Maple
st.
Last year, runners were used
to carry messages back and forth,
an inconvenient arrangement at
best.
Another innovation this year
will be the use of an official
starting ramp, complete with
automatic barriers so there will
be no chance for one boy to get
head start over the others. Last
year, two farm wagon beds,
borrowed from a local implement
dealer, were used for starting the
racers, with two men holding
each car back until the starter
fired a gun.
The Derby will be run in two
divisions, Class "a" for boys 49,
Is and Glass "B" for boys Hip.

confidence that their quotas will be

the drive has been vigorously
pressed have already passed the 100
per cent mark, and one group has
gone as high as 300 per cent.
Units Exceed Quota.
The Chief of Chaplains' Division
of the Department of the Army has
achieved 125 per cent Of its cam
paign quota, and the entire depart
ment has reached 90 per cent of its

Other Army Department divisions
reported exceeding their quotas
were: Provost Marshal General, 100
per cent; Chief of Engineers, ia per
cent; Special Services, ITO per cent,
and Adjutant General, zoos per
cent. The Military District of WASH
ington also has made its quota.
With the campaign entering its
fourth week and only 8 per cent
short of our goal, our key workers
intend pressing the drive to the last
day to exceed the quota set for the
Department of the Army by SUBJ

To Buzzard Point Area
is Asked al Hearinq

!. The Public Utilities Commission
. today was asked by residents and

to extend Capital Transit bus serv-
ice into the section which they said
= Is practically without transporta-
ton facilities now"
Walter Washington, property man
ager of the Anthony Bowen hous-
ing development, Half and T streets
S.W., told the PUG more than 1900
residents are without adequate
transportation. He asked extension
of the present W. bus line from
its present terminus at Half and
o streets S.W. south on Half to p
street, west on p to First street,
south and west on v street to Sec
ond street, and north on Second to
p street S.W.
He told the PUG, however, he
would agree to compromise pro-
posal that would route the line only
as far as r. S or T streets S.W.
At present, the vi busiine sends
o rush-hour service from Fourth and
p streets s.w. to First and v streets
S.W, primarily to serve Quarter
master Department employees in
temporary buildings A, B and G at
BuzZard Point. Residents said this
gives them practically no service.
Dean j. Locke, staff engineer of
Capital Transit, said the proposed
route extension would cost the COM
pany $4,000 a year and voiced op-
position to the proposal.
Stephen p. Locke, who lives on a
boat at Buzzard Point, suggested an
alternate route that would expand
the vi rush-hour service into an
all-day service shutting between
Buzzard Point and Fourth and P
streets S.W.
PUG Chairman James II. Flana-
gan instructed Mr.. Locke to provide
the commission statistics on pro-
posed extension of the va line to

day. He said the PUG would hold

He went from Poland to Rome
