PAGE TWO War time trends as manifested in current dressing styles will be fea tured in the annual spring fashion parade of the Bluffton college home economics club at the Ramseyer chapel Thursday night at 8:30 p. m. Bluffton High school and Bluffton college girls will serve as models for the fashion parade. Clothes to be modeled are either made by the stu dents in the college clothing classes or are purchased by them during the year. Dictated by wartime necessity most of the materials used in the dresses and clothing to be shown are rayons and cotton materials. There is a de cided trend towards masculinity in suits and slacks worn by women and a trend towards more femininity in War Time Trends Will Be Featured In College Fashion Show Thursday Get Social Security Number For Job Only Individuals should not apply for a social security account number card merely for the purpose of showing an account number on their occupa tional questionnaires, stated William A. Ashbrook, manager of the Social Security Board in Lima. Social security account numbers should be obtained only when a per son is going to work or has a job in employment which is covered by the Social Security Act. Farmers ■who are required by the Selective Service Board to fill in an occupa tional questionnaire do not need a social security account number card, according to Ashbrook. The Social Security Board has been receiving numerous applications for social security recently from those who have registered for the draft and have received an occupa tional questionnaire from the Select ive Service Board. There is a place on the questionnaire for the social security number, but this is intended only for those who have social se curity account number cards. If an individual filling in the questionnaire does not have a social security ac count number, he should simply write “none” in the place provided for his social security number Navy And Marines Seek Recruits Here Two divisions of the armed serv ices—the navy and marines—are seeking recruits in Bluffton it was disclosed the first of the week with the announcement that officers of both branches will be at the post office here Thursday.

Scrap Metal Drive Will Be Continues Continuance of the nation-wide scrap metal collection program was urged this week by government au thorities. Practically everyone can help in providing old articles containing scrap metal, and city and farm resi dents alike must realize the collec tion is vital to the nation’s war ef fort. On farms items of value include old tractors, old cars, wornout plows, rusty strap iron, steel buggy tires, antiquated hay rakes, old wheels and axles, metal fence posts, broken hand tools, useless windmill towers, pulleys, binders, discarded fence wire and similar scrap. Metal turned in to scrap dealers /or auto wreckers is sorted by them and accumulated in carload lots for shipment to scrap-hungiy steel mills and foundries. These plants depend on the nation’s scrap pile to keep operating on the great production job of building planes, ships, tanks and guns to beat the Axis.

Roast duce and ENLISTING THE HOME IN NATIONAL DEFENSE Editor's Note: Following is one of a series of articles spon sored by the Consumer's Division of the Bluffton Civilian Defense Council. The moth has always been a ser ious problem and now with the cut in civilian use of wool, he assumes an even more important role as a menace to our clothing. By careful storing of winter wool ens we can starve the moth out of existence. Go over all the woolen articles in the home and give away the ones you no longer use. Then plan to store the others. Woolen clothes used during the summer should be cleaned frequently and thoroughly brushed and hung in the shade to air Some tips for storing winter gar ments: 1—All clothing must be free of moths, eggs and larvae before stor ing. 2— Garments may then be sealed in paper bags or newspapers and stored where the bags are not likely AAA Payments In Line With War Needs New rates for parity payments and revised rates for conservation payments under the 1942 AAA pro gram were announced by Clair A. Patterson, chairman of the Allen County AAA Committee. These new rates are in conformity with the Na tion’s wartime needs for record pro duction of essential crops and for a continuation of vitally needed soil conservation measures. The payments are aimed, within limitations of available funds, to help farmers use land, labor and equip ment as efficiently as possible to raise required supplies of farm pro ducts this county and its allies must have to win the war. This year’s payments, in effect, are levers helping farmers convert from production of crops with big reserves to crops the country needs to in crease quickly, Patterson pointed out. Parity payment rate to corn pro ducers in 1942 will be 11.1 cents per bushel, and wheat producers 13.5 cents per bushel. 1 The announcement does not in clude changes in the soil-building al hk- -. ft,- HF W THE BLUFFTON NEWS. BLUFFTON, OHIO to be torn. 3— Trunks and chests must have tight fitting lids or the materials stored therein should be tightly wrapped. 4—To play safe against moth eggs in storing clothing it is a good plan to tie moth crystals (flake naptha lene, or paradichlorobenzine or moth balls) in a cloth sack and put in the paper bags. Or sprinkle the crys tals on paper folded in with the garments. 5—About one pound of the moth preventitives is a safe amount to use in a small chest, trunk or wooden box. 6—Cedar chests, if made of at least 70 per cent solid red cedar, protect against moths only if the clothes are free of moth larvae be fore they are put in the chest. The three important things to re member, then, in storing woolens safely are: Have them clean, store in tightly sealed bags, boxes or con tainers and protect them by addition of moth crystals. lowance rates or soil-building prac tice payment rates under the 1942 conservation program. Patterson said that necessary changes in these rates will be made later when more adequate information becomes avail able concerning the extent of par ticipation in this phase of the pro gram. H. S.

Earl Jones, extension agronomist, Ohio State University, says the 1, 145,429 tons of lime and limestone sold in this state last year exceeded the total tonnage sold in the six years 1932-37. Reports to University agronomists show only the counties where the lime was sold so it is impossible to tell in which counties the most lime was applied to soils. The two Ohio counties in which sales exceed 40,000 tons each are Stark and Muskingum. Three counties, Trumbull, Wayne, and Portage had sales of more than 30,000 tons each. Counties in which sales exceeded 20,000 tons each are Mahoning, Me dina, Summit, Tuscarawas, Brown, Columbiana, Delaware, Franklin, Guernsey, Highland, Huron, and Lor ain. Ottawa with 40 tons sold and Paulding, Wood and Henry each with less than 800 tons were the smallest users of lime. Jones points out that soils in northwestern Ohio need much less lime than soils in other sections of the state. Soils which are deficient in lime will not produce clovers and alfalfa successfully and as these legumes are needed to maintain soil productivity, applying lime is a basic step in improving soils. Extension agents and agronomists from the University and the Experi ment Station have emphasized the need for more lime in Ohio croplands for many years but farmers have lacked money to buy the material. Recently, the Agricultural Adjust ment administration has permitted farmers to charge lime purchases against government payments for soil improvement practices and new sales records for lime have been set each year.
