ways to churchyards existed in
England 13 centuries ago.
Quick thinking and fast foot work
on the part of Fred Hofer, Bluffton
agent for the Nickel Plate averted
what might have been a disastrous
railroad wreck here Saturday night.
The episode, enacted in real life,
had all the aspects of an old-time
movie thriller even to a happy con
clusion after averting a tragedy just
in the nick of time.
Hofer, working in his yard on
Mound street noticed a peculiar noise
as a fast eastbound freight sped thru
town at 7 o’clock. On investigation
he discovered a nine inch section
broken out of a steel rail and lying
at the side of the track some 50 feet

lighted the warning signal as the

Woodmen Lodge
Plan Annual Meet
An innovation in the operation of
a fraternal order was adopted by
the Bluffton Woodmen lodge at a
dinner Monday night in the Walnut
Grill. Instead of regular meetings
monthly, the order has decided to
hold one annual meeting together
with a dinner at which time will be
transacted all routine business of the
order.
Twenty-four members of the Bluff
ton lodge were in attendance at the
four course get-together dinner at
which time the yearly meeting plan
was adopted. The meeting will be
held probably early in January, it
was stated.
In charge of the dinner Monday
night was a committee of lodge offi
cers consisting of Geo. Rauenbuhler,
C. A. Lloyd, H. L. Coon and Walter
Schaublin.
Youth Hit By Car
Has Arm Broken
Earl Lehman, Bluffton college
fieshman and son of Mr. and Mrs.

cial injuries w’hen he was struck by
an automobile Sunday night at 11
o’clock in downtowm Bluffton.
Lehman was walking across the
street from the Risser Sandwich
shop when headlights of two auto
mobiles approaching from opposite
direction momentarily blinded him
and in attempting to avoid one he
stepped into the path of the other.
He was removed to the Bluffton
hospital in the Diller ambulance.

Rain Welcome
Two Weeks Ago
Now Unwanted
J^AIN which was eagerly look,
ed for two weeks ago has
been relegated to the list of un
popular items by farmers in the
Bluffton district who for more
than a week have been unable
to get into their fields.
Complaints were many the
first of the week that weeds are
getting such a start in cornfields
that cultivation will be a real
problem.
The continued wet weather,
however, has been a boon to
pastures, wheat and forage crops
generally. Oats is making un
usual growth and unless blown
down, should return a bumper
yield.
Dr. Arthur E. Holt, of Chicago,
Speaks on “Discovery and
Reconciliation”
Says that Solution of Problems
Of Democracy Lies in
Decentralization
Decentralization of large urban
centers into small neighborly com
munities like Bluffton as a solution
to problems of a democracy, was
suggested by Dr. Arthur E. Holt of
Chicago, at Bluffton college com
mencement exercises held at the First
Mennonite church Tuesday morning.
His subject was “Discovery and Re
conciliation”.
Dr. Holt, professor of social ethics
at the Chicago Theological seminary
and the University of Chicago, open
ed his address with the statement
that the two greatest mistakes in
America are Chicago and New York.
Add the cultural advantages of a
small college like Bluffton’s to a
small community like Bluffton and
you have an ideal living arrange
ment. Here a cooperativeness and
neighborliness can be developed that
is unknown in the larger cities. By
small town the speaker indicated
that he meant communities up to
10,000 population.
In tracing the history of American
democracy, the speaker pointed out
that it has been a success because of
the sturdy qualities of the early
American pioneer and the type of
community in which he lived.
Pioneer community life was tem
pered by a willingness to share and
to cooperate on the higher levels of
common enterprise. Life was simple
and home products were made for
neighborhood consumption.
Then as man discovered how to
make and use machines something
began to happen. The old unity and
integration of the smaller communi
ties began to break down as various
occupational groups moved out of the
villages to the cities where their spe
cializations could command a better
wage.
As people began to crowd together
in the large cities their sense of a
common objective was lost as each
individual went about his own spe
cialization. This has caused a break
down in moral standards and mutual
concern.
The present picture is none too
bright with mass production tending
to throw more and more workers
out of employment. The Rust bro
thers cotton picking machine for ex
ample, is going into mass production
for the first time this year, and will
create unemployment for millions of
southern cotton workers. This prob
lem is yet to be solved, the speaker
declared.
The big task of the future is not
discovery but the important thing is
reconciliation which must always be
at the basis of democratic life, the
speaker said in conclusion.
To Collect Taxes
Here June 23-21
Deputies from the Allen county
treasurer’s office will be in Bluffton
at the Citizens National bank on
Monday and Tuesday, June 23 and
24 for collection of the last half of
the 1940 real estate taxes now due.

man and Jefferson streets it was an
nounced the first of the week. Strat

BLUFFTON
A Good Place to Live and a
Good Place to Trade
NUMBER 7
TOWN’S DRIVE ON
MOSQUITOES IS
NOW UNDER WAY
Robert Oyer in charge of Pro
gram, to Continue Sys
tematic Spraying
Aid of Householders is Asked
In Cooperation with Munic
ipal Campaign
Bluffton’s mosquito control cam
paign is definitely under way this
week, and received impetus with the
arrival in town of Robert Oyer, su
pervisor of the program.
Oyer, a student in the Hahnemann
medical college in Philadelphia, was
in charge of the unusually successful
control program of last summer and
has been hired by the town council
to again direct the activities.
In his first rounds of the various
creeks and bodies of water, Oyer
found considrable larvae on the Little
Riley creek. These are systematical
ly sprayed with specially prepared
larvicide that does not kill the fish.
Where there are no fish, Oyer uses
kerosene or crank case oil.
Funds Allotted
The town council has allotted funds
for the program and arrangements
are completed to proceed with the
W’ork, it was stated by Mayor W. A.
Howe, who heads up the entire pro
gram. The cost last year was be
tween $350 and $400 for labor, ma
terials anu all expenses.
Mayor Howe has pointed out that
every Bluffton resident must cooper
ate if the fullest benefits are to be
njoyed. Any one finding wrigglers
should either report the matter to
Oyer, or kill them with kerosene.
Principal breeding places of mosqui
toes about home include cisterns, bar
rels, tubs and buckets of water, shal
low wells, pools of water from rains,
leaky pipes, leaky hydrant valves,
tin cans, uncovered cess pools, plug
ged roof gutters and downspouts,
damp cellars and piles of rubbish.
Householder Help
Householders can help the control
program by keeping their premises
clean and watching every possible
breeding place.
The town has attracted considerable
attention in the control program. It
is belived that the municipal garbage
and rubbish collection system inaug
urated last summer has also helped
control the mosquito infestation.
Oyer plans to use the same general
procedure as last year of systematic
spraying. He is using the same car
and the same equipment as were used
last year for making the rounds again
this season.
Some preliminary work in the
spraying has been done by Oyer’s
brother, Herbert, a student at Bluff
ton college, who sprayed stagnant
bodies of water during the period of
abnormally hot weather several weeks
ago.
