PAGE EIGHT g'i Triplett Team Is Loser In Two Tilts Tangling with two of Northwest ern Ohio’s best softball teams, a crippled Triplett outfit lost close de cisions to Tiffin and Kenton teams during the last week. Routh Meat Packers, undefeated team of Tiffin, took the measure of the locals for their 12th straight victory of the season, 5 to 1, last Friday night at Harmon field. On Monday, the Mangesmen lost to Ken ton Champions, 6 to 3, at Kenton. For six innings, the contest with Tiffin was a thrill-packed, closely contested game. At the opening of the seventh, with Tiffin leading, 2 to 1, Timer Spaeth, Bluffton start ing hurler, had to leave the game because of a blistered foot. Several fielding lapses and a mo mentary lack of pitching control re sulted in three more Tiffin rallies in the eighth to give the visitors a de- cided edge. BlulfTton’s only run came in the fifth istanza when the locals loaded the bises with only one out. Fred Herrnlann then was walked home with the local team’s lone tally when Snaeth was passed. At Kenton Monday night the Trip lett cirew ran into a speedball pitch er whio allowed them only five hits, and the Champion outfit of that place copped a 6 to 3 victory. Kc iiton led all the way, getting th i runs in the second inning, one in thi» fourth and two more in the eighthi. Norm Triplett tallied the first Bluffton run in the fifth when he doublfid, and came home on two long sacrifice ies. in the eighth, with two men out, King doubled, Herrmann doubled scoring King, and Eikenbary doub led to score Herrmann for two mon tallies.

Passengers were not permitted on deck after dark and tse ship "was com pletely blacked out. Strick orders to throw nothing overboard by which an enemy vessel might detect the pres ence of a convoy were given. No smoking permitted on the decks because of cirgarete stubs which might be picked up by enemy craft. Security watch patrols were maintain ed at all times with civilian men on board assisting. Quiet Crossing The crossing was quiet and unevent ful. The ship was crowded with few peace time facilities and conveniences available. In rooms occupied former ly by two or three persons are now quartered seven to nine people. Each of the meals was eaten in three sittings, the pasenger list was so large. No choice of menu was al lowed v in peace time. Everyone was required to eat the regular ar: rations prescribed for the i men aboard ship. Passengers were required kt v their life belts close at hand at all times. The passengers as well as crew men practiced aband ship drills enroute. The war has had a practical effect of greatly reducing the public school and college enrollments. All young men and women if not needed in the military forces have been drafted into industrial or office work essential for the war effort. Most junior and senior high school boys and girls are engaged in one or other types of war activities. Most of these young people have been froz en to their jobs for the duration of the war by governmental regulation, Miss Niswander said. FRANK M. IRICK I am asking for your vote and support at the Primary Election to be held Tuesday, August 11, 1942. In return. IF NOMINATED AND ELECTED, I can only promise you my honest and sincere services. I have served the city of Delphos, Ohio, as Auditor since 1926, and I have also had schooling as an accountant. ANY FAVORS SHOWN ME WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED Frank M. Irick, Delphos, Ohio In driving by Pearl Harbor on a public highway, Miss Niswander stat ed that there was little evidence there had been a bombing of such disaster ous consequences. Everything had been cleaned up and most of the build ings had been restored or repaired. The sunken battleship Arizona can still be clearly seen with its turrets projecting up out of the water. Parts of several other sunken ships can also be seen but generally there is little evidence of the terrific bombing de livered in the treacherous Japanese attack. Precaut ions Numerous precautions have been taken by the government to protect the civilian population as well as to protect the country from internal sab otage. Every person was required to regis ter with governmental authorieties. 1 Fingerprints were taken of everyone for the records of the territory and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Anticipating possible use of chemic al warfare by the Japanese every in dividual on the islands is required to carry a gas mask. Even the school children must carry their gas mask and frequent practice sessions in put ting on the mask are held. Everyone V accinated Every resident was required to have typhoid shots and smallpox vaccina tions regardless of when a previous inoculatioh had taken place. No charge was made by the government for this service. Blackout precautions were complete in every detail. No lights in the' bus iness section, in the harbor nor in the residential districts could Ik? seen. No stores were open at nights and there was no need for anyone to be on the streets after dark. Th? theatres start at 10 o'clock in the morning and close at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Gasoline Rationing Civilians were required to be off the streets at 10 o’clock at night and no civilian automobiles were ermitt ed after 8:30 o'clock unless specific ally permitted by military order. There was scarcely enough gasoline DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY AUDITOR Allen County Subject to Primary Election, August 11, 1942 The troop left Bluffton on Sunday afternoon at 12:45 o’clock in the Carey Niswander truck with a full load of scouts and baggage and plenty of spirit. The trip to camp was uneventful save for a little sunburn and wav ing at the girls enroute to camp. As they entered the campsite the boys were surprised to see a stone road back to camp and a lot of scouts coming in and leaving the camp. Scoutmaster Karl Gable registered the boys for the camp and made ar rangements for the location of the tents in what seemed an intermin able time. When arrangements were finally completed a terrific five-minute down pour of rain drenched the boys be fore they could set up their tents. Carey Niswander drove the truck and was accompanied by Ray Pat terson. Scoutmaster Gable and wife rode to camp with Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wingate. The campsite is located across two ravines in a highly forested section. Five large tents have been set up in a circle with the scouts assigned to the tents as follows: No. 1—Karl Gable, Robert Oberly and Bill Amstutz. No. 2—Robert Stratton, James Harman, Robert Ramseyer, Paul Don Bixel. No. 3—Don Augsburger, Dean Niswander, Gene Patterson, Malcolm Basinger. No. 4—Bill Mericle, Otto Klassen, Harry Minck, Charles Tripplehom. anyway to drive in the day time let alone the night as petroleum products are carefully rationed 10 gallons per month being allowed for every car. Blued out flashlights were permit ted if the individual promised to shine them on the ground. The Japanese have been allowed to continue in their normal pursuits ex cept for the more important business es. They may till be seen operating the smaller shops and are walking the streets in as great a frequency as previously. Their activities are carefully check ed, however, by government agents. They are not permitted to move or travel except by government permis sion and regulation. Red Cross The International Red Cross organ ization has been most helpful in the emergency and on the ship helped ease the situation in many ways. Warm clothing which could not be purchased in Hawaii was furnished by the Red Cross. Milk was given to the children and sandwiches and coffee were furnished for adults. Representatives of the organization helped entertain the children on boat and made themselves helpful in many other ways. Miss Niswander stated that both in Hawaii and during the crossing to this country they were warned repeatedly not to give any information that might give aid to the enemy. Conse quently it is highly important to give information only within the limita tions imposed by governmental re strictions.

Neither is the national debt any cause for alarm. With the coun try’s large resources and ability to meet situations the debt problem will be faced after the war and handled with characteristic American effi ciency. The larg liase of bonds in this country is one of the surest methods of he .g off inflation, Marshall stated. While generally optimistic concern- ing the future the speaker saw a dark picture in predicting a crime wave after the war. If 5,000,000 soldiers are taught how to be cruel and practice this in time of war it is impossible not to have some re action by ce tain anti-social individ uals after the war.

I. B. Beeshy innounced the vacancy of third vire-president. Noah Ba singer was unanimously elected by the club to fi11 the vacancy that had existed for month. Beaverdatn Erects Soldier Memorial Honoring the boys of the Beaver dam community in the country’s armed forces, a stone memorial is being erected in front of the Beaver dam school building on the Dixie Highway with arrangements being made for ft dedicatory service in the near future. Funds totalling more than $300 have been raised by popular sub scription and an ice cream social to pay for the stone which is six feet high and three feet wide. Cement and labor for the founda tion have been donated by patriotic citizens of the community. Erection of the stone by a Lima contractor likely will be completed within a few days, it was stated. The dedicatory services will likely be held on a Sunday afternoon in the near future with the Lima post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in charge. Heading a committee of Beaver dam citizens in the solicitation of funds and arrangements fur dedica tion are: I. M. Jennings, chairman Mrs. H. G. Downey, secretary' V. F. Foltz, treasurer. Three Bluffton religious and edu cational institutions will benefit from the estate of Mrs. Emma Vinson, who died at Beaverdam on July 1, it was revealed in her will admitted to the Allen county probate court this week. The bequests were unexpected and occasioned considerable surprise. The following groups here were named beneficiaries by the testatrix in the original will of Nov. 1, 1920. Trustees of the Bluffton Methodist church, $1,200 Bluffton college, $500 Bluffton board of education for use for the high school, $500. Other groups and persons sharing in the estate as named in the will are: Trustees of the Methodist church at Beaverdam for building and improve ments, $600 Ohio Northern university at Ada, $100 trustees Grace Meth odist church, Lima, $1,200 trustees of the Columbus Grove Methodist church, $1,200 Charles Buchanan, a Method ist missionary in the field who is from this part of Ohio, $500.

The will also directed that if the bequests cannot be paid in full, they are to be prorated among the various takers, with all that remains to be paid to the Women’s Home and For eign Missionary societies of the Beav erdam Methodist church, share and share alike. That provision was changed by a second codicil, made June 26, 1941, which named an next of kin nephews and nieces each to re ceive $10. “If there is not enough for the bequests,” the instrument stat ed, “the executor is directed to pay the first of the items in full, then each in full until the funds are exhausted.” In the original will the testatrix nom inated her brother, William B.

While this is true, ethyl alcohol has tw’o other uses in the production of pow der. It is used as a solvent for water, or as a dehydrating agent. After nitration, the cellulose is cen trifuged to remove water as com pletely as possible. The remainder of the water is removed with alco hol. After dehydration, the nitro cellulose is dispersed in a mixed sol vent. This solvent is one part alco hol and two parts ether. Thus, there is another direct use of alcohol. Vapor Penetration The adhesive used to affix a cot ton fabric to the interior side of one type of prefabricated wall is also an effective barrier against vapor penetration through tfye wall.
