THURSDAY, FEB. 26, 1942 Mainly Pe^iMusl It’s fun to ask Bob Cooney, high school senior, what the correct time is. He digs down deep and pulls out a watch at least an inch thick and very heavy in weight. Although almost weighing him down Bob says that the watch, a gift from his grandfather, is a highly accurate time piece. When the scouts gathered paper Saturday afternoon they found in the collected material a discarded fur coat, a pillow and some garbage. You’ll never be able to fool Joan Buhler, high school student, on the temperature as she wears an at tractive small thermometer as a decorative pin. Gene Benroth has constructed a power saw' that really saves labor. An old motor and other pieces of discarded materials were built into a mighty effective sawing device. About the only part of the outfit he had to buy was the circular saw ing blade. With all this talk about produc tion for National Defense, it’s just occurred to us that a hen is about the only thing that can sit still and yet produce. The farmers hereabouts are really stocking up on spare parts for ma chinery. In fact some of the deal ers, now’ doing a landoffice business on parts are beginning to wonder how there can be much business next summer. A case in point was reported the first of the week w’hen a farmer walked into a local deal er’s place and bought six plow points for his spring tillage—he probably needed only two. Noah Neuenschwander, Bluffton implement dealer announces change in the spelling of his name to SOOTHE Nisw’ander. His three sons and daughter use the simplified spelling I instead of the original form. I Remember Mark Simon who was instructor in vocational agriculture at Bluffton high school a good many years ago? Mark, who is farming at Bloomdale, and building up a mighty fine dairy herd, recently sold a Guernsey bull calf to Albert Ver million. The calf comes from a high butterfat production strain and is destined to head the Vermillion herd. There’s an old saying that all good things come in threes—well Med Murray and the Dwain Murrays down at Marietta already have two of these good things and are now keeping a sharp lookout for the third. It all happened last week when M. M. "Dode” Murray who is wintering in St. Petersburg, Fla., sent a bushel of oranges and kum quats to his brother Med who is in Marietta at the home of his son Dwain Murray. At the same time also arrived another bushel of oranges for Mrs. Dwain Murray from her brother Oliver Locher who is in Clearwater, Florida for the winter. Dode also remembered his brothers and sister of Bluffton with generous shipments of the Florida fruit. Bluffton residents along the Dixie have been getting some first-hand information as to how the modern army travels. During the past few' days several convoys of large buses, similar to Greyhounds, have been rolling thru town southbound. The buses, painted an olive gray, were presumably enroute to southern training camps and apparently will be used to move troops. Observers here estimated that each bus would carry from 75 to 100 men. They grow’ ’em husky in Bluffton —so the army learned when Bob Murray erstwhile Bluffton high school athlete and later semi-pro baseball pitcher arrived at Camp Perry for induction into the army. Facts are that the army just didn’t have immediately availab’e a uni that NYAL "H & H” only 50c A.

What may prove a boon to restaurant owners is the Army’s new practice of issuing meal tickets instead of cash to soldiers for the purchase of meals while traveling. These tickets allow a soldier to spend a maximum of 75 cents a meal in restaurants and $1 a meal in railroad dining cars—in many instances more than he would spend if he were paying cash. The tickets (one of which is reproduced below) are slightly larger than a currency note, are white and must be filled out by the issuing officer.

Bixel, Bluffton optometrist, was literally caught in a jam Tues day, while attempting to enter a Lima store thru a revolving door. The door swung a little too fast and he was jammed snugly. He says he will step more lively next time. Harold Balmer, another Bluffton inductee recently taken into military service is in the air corps at Jeffer son Barracks, Missouri. Harold says he's glad to have an assignment and be busy. Surprising, to say the least to have a Sunday dinner interrupted by a neighbor running in and telling you that your house is on fire. That's what happened to Mr. and Mrs. Harold Purdy of Rockport last Sunday. The fire had gained too great headway when discovered to save the dwelling.

Wheat is worth about 10 per cent more per bushel than corn for live stock feed. Wheat at corn prices is a bargain. When the export market for Argentine corn vanished, prices for that grain dropped as low as 15 cents a bushel. England offered to buy 88,000,000 pounds of Argentine pork, and exports of pork to all countries from Argentine totaled 73,000,000 in 1941. Packers there estimate receipts of 2,000,000 head of hogs in 1942, as compared with 1,406,000 head in 1941 and 906,000 head in 1940.

Cory who took special training at New York City and who is now a Lieutenant at Detroit, Michigan. Wendell Wagner is in the marines, Charles Guin and Donald Nusbaum are in the navy, Emanuel Boutwell in heavy artillery, and Louis Dukes in the army. A coincidence has occurred in the enrollment of the school. With a total of 296 pupils there are 148 girls and 148 boys. 237 of these pupils come to school on buses. A wave of patriotism has surged over the school and a committee has been organized with Mr. Simpkins as faculty advisor. The committee consists of Robert Albro, Eloise Bowersox, Kenneth Green and other assistants. The purpose of the committee is to sell defense stamps, only in the ten cent denomination. Every Wed nesday will be set aside as a day for the sale of these stamps, and will be known as “Defense Stamp Day”. Mt. Cory is the second school in the county to start this plan which was suggested by the County Chairman, Mr. Godwin of the Cen tral Ohio Light and Power Co. Western Ohio farmers serving on county land use committees recom mended that 50 per cent of the total land area in that section be planted to row and small grain crops. Com mitteemen in southeastern Ohio rec ommended that only 17 per cent of the land in that part of the state be devoted to row crops and small grains. Washington, I). C.
