An article in The St. Charles Cosmos-Monitor of August 9, 1941, included the following"
"Down at Weldon Spring the Muschany Brothers run a grocery store, and Claude Muschany was in charge when the writer called. At first, he was highly suspicious, because, as he explained later, numerous Federal agents have been harassing the people trying to get them to come down on their price. He produced a receipt, showing that he is a member of the M. F. A. in good standing, and seemed glad that The Missouri Farmer had taken note of the plight of the St. Charles County farmers from the TNT Area.
"Claude and his two brothers, who formerly were in business at Howell each owned a farm. They fed cattle and hogs, and were satisfied with their situation. Like the others, they were willing to do their bit toward National security. As matters now stand the people are 'very bitter because the government didn't keep its obligation which was made in good faith.' He said: 'If they (the government) had paid all like they did about 150, this would have been an outstanding example of National defense sacrifice.' He pointed out that not a single person had to be forcibly put off his property - all wanted to do their duty toward National defense!"
