chapel Thursday night at 8:30 p. m.
Bluffton High school and Bluffton

or are purchased by them during the

Dictated by wartime necessity most
of the materials used in the dresses

cided trend towards masculinity in
suits and slacks worn by women and
a trend towards more femininity in

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

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.

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.

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.

said that necessary changes in these

able concerning the extent of par

Lime Sales Reach
New High In Ohio
Ohio farmers in 1941 again set a
record for the amount of lime used
to improve cropland and pastures.
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.
APPRECIATED
I wish to thank all of the resi
dents of the community and the
teachers of the public schools who
assisted in the sugar rationing pro
gram in Bluffton last week. There
was a splendid spirit of cooperation
manifested by both the registrars
and registrants.
