SMITH 45 Probate Judge VICTORY Sportswear Lions Hold Eighth Charter Night Dinner Celebrating their eighth annual charter anniversary, members of the Bluffton Lions club were addressed by Lions District Governor Hugh Wayt of Mt. Vernon at a ladies night meeting at the Walnut Grill Tuesday night. Every civilization has made a particular contribution to the progress of mankind. The Greeks gave us architecture and athletics the Romans gave us a system of law the Egyptians gave the science of embalming to the world, the speaker said. The contribution of Americans will go down in history as a way of liv ing in which all men are given free dom of choice and action and in which the human personality is an object of supreme worth, the district governor pointed out. In the attainment of this ideal, Lionism has made an important con tribution with its emphasis on ser vice to the community and the de velopment of civic mindedness, the speaker said in conclusion. Lions club representatives were present from Lima, Findlay, Cold water, Celina, Van Wert, Spencer ville and Wapakoneta. Welcome to the visiting clubs and guests was extended in remarks by Mayor W. A. Howe. The visiting clubs were introduced by Tennyson Guyer of Findlay. Din ner music was provided by the Four Kings. Excerpts from the coming Lions production, “Swing Out” were presented as a part of the program. Funeral Services For S. W. Burkholder Funeral services for S. W.

THURSDAY, FEB. 19, 1942 May Remove Bell At Railroad Crossing Following complaint of residents in the area surrounding the Cherry street crossing of the Nickel Plate railroad, the Bluffton council at the Monday night meeting gave permis sion to remove the signal bell from the electrically operated automatic alarm. The flashers will continue to op erate both day and night. Since a watchman guards the crossing dur ing the day time the removal of the signal bell would not increase the hazard, it was alleged. Reason for the complaint of the residents arises from continued ring ing of the bell when freight cars are being moved onto sidetracks dur ing the night. Fred Hofer, station agent for the Nickel Plate, is taking the matter up with the railroad officials. Their approval would be necessary before the removal of the bell could take place. The nation’s chickens broke all records for production in 1941. The number of eggs produced exceeded the 1940 production by 5 per cent and was 4 per cent higher than the previous record set in 1939. Ohio farmers who have begun to worry about the possibility of getting molasses to use as a preservative of grass silage can relieve their minds by remembering that several Ohio men have made good grass silage without any preservative. Silage ma terial must be allowed to wilt enough to reduce the moisture content if mo lasses or other preservative is not added.
