Sixty-five township committeemen attended the all-day meeting. Speakers were John Bicket of Randolph county, a member of the state Triple-A committee; Morris Fonda of the Belleville Soil Conservation Service headquarters, and Farm Adviser T. W.

May. Fonda discussed methods of controlling erosion and maintaining soil fertility. May informed committeemen present that information on the wartime program for agriculture will soon be disseminated to all farmers in the county. He urged more widespread adoption of farm practices which conserve soil as a means of attaining farm production goals in 1943. The.

present farm labor shortage, especially in the dairying industry, was discussed by May, who pointed out that many dairymen, because of help shortages, are cutting down on the size of their herds. In many cases, May said he was informed, the dairy cows disposed of were being sold for meat, without an opportunity being offered neighbors to purchase the cows. Emphasis will be placed on increasing production of poultry, pork and eggs during 19-13, May declared, adding I hat' the production goals set place a huge responsibility on Madison county farmers. .130 .146 29 34 24 23 14 20 In order (o clarify any misunderstandings and i-lvi- official answer to any problems facing dealers under gasoline and tire ra- Honing, a school of instruction fulfill filling station operators, garage operators, and tire dealers has been arranged I'm 7:30 p. in.

T. Dunlap, Kdwardsville contractor, for construction of a new waterworks system for the city at a cost of $300,000 will be heard at special meeting of the City Council scheduled for 8:30 o'clock tonight, Mayor Oscar Schmidt announced today. The meeting, which is open to the public, has been called to afford nldermen and local citizens an opportunity to study the plan at first hand before going to the polls in a special election here next Thursday, when a question of issuing $415,000 in water revenue bonds for purchase by the city of the Edwardsville Water will be submitted to a referendum vote. Dunlap said today his proposal to construct a new water system' for the city, at a cost of $300,000, is predicated on' peacetime conditions and is advanced as an alternative to purchase by the city, for $415,000, of the 44-year-old privately owned system, which he declared is obsolete in a number of respects. "I'm not trying to promote a construction job for myself," Dunlap said, adding that the system proposed would be far more efficient than the present plant and would provide for increases up to 50 percent in the number of water consumers.

He did not discuss the source oE supply for the proposed system. Dunlap owns a 125-acre lake at he east edge of Edwardsville, which affords a water supply estimated at 400,000,000 gallons. Artificial lakes are used as sources of water supply for a large number of over the state, including Springfield, Bloomington, Jacksonville, Staunton and Litchfield. Two local citizens' committees liave been organized, one favoring 1 ind the other opposing purchase of local water system for municipal operation. Use Salvage Material fot Scrap Tin Loading Ramp Court Order Gives License To Whitford License for a dramshop at 556 East Broadway was to be issued by the City Liquor Control Commission today to E.

J. Whit ford, who through City Court action Thursday, secured issuance of a writ of mandamus to authorize transfer to him of a license formerly applying to the Broadway address. Service of the writ was made yesterday, Mayor Struif said; the commission was to approve the license this forenoon. According to the situation presented to the court through Whitford's petition for (lie writ of mandamus he took over the formtr stand of Val Dclaney who last summer was called into military service, pulling up his dramshop for sale. The liquor commission refused his application for license, holding too much time had elapsed for transfer of the Delaney permit, and that to grant a new license would violate the ordinance limit of 40 dramshops for the city.

The commission, in an answer, admitted facts presented by Whitford as to his taking over the former stand, but denied it bound to issue a license. The court first ruled Whilford's petition insufficient, but permitted amendment by his attorney, Paul Davey, to present a fuller showing of nil details of the situation, on the basis of which Judge Boynton Thursday ordered the mandamus to issue. The case, Whitford's attorney said, involved the question of a man called to military service being granted sufficient time in which to dispose of a licensed business he was forced to give 'up by reason of going to war. 15 5-S 27 2(i 5 21 27 77 1-1 -1 -1 1-8 1-8 i-l 1-1 Cottage Hills COTTAGK First Clnrs linn Worthy of Alton, .1 survivor of Ihe Hugh L.

Third Walkout In Four Days At Bohn Plant DETROIT, Dec. 12. shift workers at the No, 1 plant of the Bohn Aluminum and Brass walked out again today, as company and union officials pressed for War Labor Board approval of a wage pact which was agreed upon in October. Lack of such approval was blamed by Simon D. Denuyl, secretary- treasurer of the company, for the walkout which was the third such action in four days in the company's plants here.

Roosevelt Orders Wards to Comply WASHINGTON, Dec. 12, President Roosevelt directed Montgomery Ward Co. today to "comply without further delay" with the War Labor Board's ruling that it sign a CIO contract embodying a clause for rr-iinten- ance of union membership. It was the second time the President had ordered the company to accept the board's d'rectove. The first time he acted after the company had objected to the un'on security clause and said it wuld comply only in case the President himself ordered the company to do so.

After the President's first order the company sought to insert in the order a clause contending ihe ma'nlenance of membership was Illegal and thai it was signing with the union under The board objected to the duress clause but said the company could include a provision that it was signing under protest. This the company held inadequate, but again agreed to obey without the duress clause if the President, "as commander in chief in time oJ war" directed that it do so. The President's order today was conveyed to Sowell Avery, president of the big Chicago mail order house, in the form of a telegram which said: "For your information the President has signed the following letter which is being sent to you spe clal delivery, airmailed, this date: 12, 1942. "'Dear Sir: commander in chief in time of war, I hereby direct Montgom cry Ward and Co. to comply, without further delay, with the National War Labor Board's directive order of December 8, 1942.

Dt'ctroyer Sunk Off Oran. Nazis Say BERLIN (From German Broadcasts) Dec. 12. German high command said today that a United States destroyer was sunk by a U-boat off Orun and I hut a British destroyer was sunk in a naval engagement in the English Channel lost night. (These claims were not confirmed from any other source).

Light German naval units accounted for the British destroyer in the channel and also set fire to a motor toi pedoboat, the higl command defense guns were declared to have shot down three British aircraft ovei Norway and the Flanders coast last night and a four-i'ligllU'd piano over French territory.

Two Gorman ylanos are missing The loading platform from which salvaged tin cans are shipped from Alton to detlnnlng plant will in itself be a salvage job. Work of erecting the platform was started Friday by the R.

R. Construction and but for the snow storm would have been finished by noon today. It is located on the Front street terrace, between Alby and Easton streets, the elevation being such that the prepared (cleaned nnd flattened cans) may be skidded down into freight cars more or less by force of gravity. This arrangement is designed to reduce loading costs to minimum in face of a situation in which loading machinery is not available. Not only is the planking for the loading platform salvaged lumber, originally used for shorlng-up the Piasa sewer ditches, but the foundation pillars and supporting beams are also "used material," it was said by City Engineer Abraham.

For the pillars and beams the city was able to secure a donation of old light and telephone poles from local utilities. Thus there is no lumber cost in the can-loading platform. Neither will there be a lumber bill for any supplemental bins that possibly may have to be constructed to store cans for short period pending shipment Engineer Abraham said that it is the plan to have trucks drive up onto the platform at curb level. The structure measures 24 by 30 feet and 12 feet will be needed for the truck-runway leaving another fenced space 12 by 30 feet for storage, of unloaded cans. Size of the platform.

Abraham added, is predicated on expectation that the freight car in which cans are shipped to East Chicago will be loaded out the same day each month that the city-wide can col lection is made. Thus large stor age space is not needed. It will be simple to enlarge storage with bins if necessary, however. First can collection is set for next Saturday, Dec. 19, and will be made by the city refuse collection contractor.

All his truck; will be devoted next Saturday to collecting cans from homes and residence places. All householders have been called on in a mayora! proclamation to save and prepare their cans for next Saturday's collection, and the goal is to secure a full carload of 20 tons on the initial collection.

10 as reprisal against similar action taken by lermany, ended officially today. Defense headquarters told questioners that the order issued by Prime Minister W. L. MacKenzie King Thursday that there should je no shackling on or after Dec. 12 had been carried out.

Actually the unshackling took place last evening, since it had been Lhe practice to place irons on those selected for this treatment only during the daytime routine. Britain also was due to strike the shackles from German and Italian prisoners today, three days in advance of the date proposed by Switzerland, mediating neutral in the dispute between Britain and Germany. The foreign office in London stated Wednesday that the shackling would be ended today. The German answer still was not made. Berlin radio said yesterday that the Swiss note was receiving sympathetic consideration.

Germany shackled British and Canadian prisoners because, she charged, some Germans taken prisoner in the August commando raid on Dieppe, France, had been tied by their captors as they moved themselves to invasion barges. Britain and Canada, in reprisals, thereupon applied manacles to prisoners in camps in the United Kingdom and in the Dominion.
