An interesting note with so many
of the hunters from the state now in
the armed forces Is the fact that
hunting licenses sold in the state
total 614,000 since September 1,
about 3,500 ahead nf the correspond
ing 1941 period. Fishing license
sales for the year are ahead of the
number sold in 1941. These figures
were released by the assistant Con
servation Commissioner, H. A. Rider,
and are just another good reason for
the Club to keep up their restocking
program.
Local license sales have increased
very notably. This year 450 fishing
licenses were sold in Bluffton and
in addition 200 hunting licenses have
already been bought. There is an
increase of 75 hunting licenses sold
to date over the corresponding
period of last year.
Robert Kohli, club member now
serving in the Army was pleased to
hear that the National Quarry has
been closed to fishing for the dura
tion of the war he told Pres. Si
Diller that he looks forward to
some good fishing there, after, “we
mop up the Axis.”
May we state here the directors
of the club are making a concerted
effort to push the restocking pro-

gram. We want to be sure there
will be plenty of game and fish for
our boys when they come back from
the armed forces.
Thursday morning, club director
Gene Benroth, students Warren
Sites, Dick Berky and myself as
club appointed refuge manager, had
a very interesting time releasing on
the college campus, 23 grey and
3 fox squirrels, which arrived by ex
press from the Sandhill Came Farms
of Babcock, Wisconsin.
They seemed to make themselves
right at home with the exception of
one which immediately crossed the
Riley Creek bridge and headed up
town. Later it was seen by Edgar
and Brooks Root in the middle of
the road near the Readrite plant,
Ed immediately recognized it as a
grey and said, “our shipment of
squirrels must have come in from
Wisconsin.”
Many young fox squirrels have
been reported seen by faculty and
club members during the summer.
Most of the dens that were put up
last winter are occupied and more
are under construction for immediate
usage. The club extends hearty
thanks to the college folks for their
cooperation in making the game
sanctuary a success.
Mayor Howe is doing his bit to
exterminate the red squirrels in the
vicinity of the Game Refuge. His
Honor states that in the past fifteen
years he has shot at least 120 reds,
and most of them from one walnut
tree in his back yard. In all the
shooting he believes he missed only
two shots. “That, mister is mighty
good shootin’, I would hate to be
caught in your line of fire.”

we had a good attendance and en
joyed a nice afternoon’s shooting.

Floyd B. Griffin
COUNTY AUDITOR
FOR A
SECOND TERM
WHY?
His word is as good as his bond.
Out of 8,330 parcels of Delinquent Property over 7,250
have been cleaned up and are now paying their tax. If
re-elected the same program will be followed until Allen
County has a clean slate.
All taxing districts except five have a lower rate for
1912, than 1938 the year we were elected.
Did it pay to collect Delinquent Tax?
Answer that question with your ballot.
We revived the old system of assessing personal
property by using house to house calls. Not only giving
better service, at less cost to the tax payer, and adding
$6,357,656.00 to the tax valuation. These are just a few
of the many things we have done to benefit the tax payer.

timers in reviewing the weather,
Henry Gratz tells us this is the
first summer in his recollection that
bluegrass didn’t turn brown because
of drought.
Sometimes penalities are pleasant.
In a husking bee at a Halloween
party given by Sara and Bill Am
stutz, at the Wilhelm Amstutz farm
Saturday night, Bob Gratz found the
only red ear of corn. He was too
bashful, so the girls said, to follow
the tradition so his penalty was to
kiss every girl present.
The young people then enjoyed a
treasure hunt through the fields fol
lowed by dancing to phonograph
music. Enjoying the affair were:
Mary Margaret Basinger, Jean Ann
Steinman, Esther Berky, Genevieve
Buhler, Alice Jean Bixel, Nadine
Allman, Mary Lou Schmidt, Mildred
Campbell, Eileen Weinhold, Sara
Amstutz.
James Dailey, Bob Gratz, Dean
Niswander, Otto Klassen, Kenneth
Oberly, Charles Trippiehorn, John
Schmidt, Ronald Zimmerly, Kenneth
Winkler and Bill Amstutz.
Halloweeners seem to be more
active this year. Whether it’s a
war psychology that prompts the
young people to these actions is not
known but everyone has remarked
that the activities started earlier
this year and have been more in
tense. Nobody objects to harmless
fun but property destruction, espec
ially in wartime, is an unpatriotic
act. We heard, for example, that
there has been some slashing of
bicycle tires. Such actions are not
only cowardly but not at all in keep
ing with the spirit of wartime vic
tory conservation.
A bunch of boys and girls attend
ing Joan Harmon’s Halloween party
decided to take a trip to the grave
yard Friday night to see if any of
the spirits had decided to return to
the mortal sphere. Evidently some
of the boys were tipped off and
the girls were in the middle of the
graveyard when a blood curdling
yell rent the air and they found
themselves being pursued by who
knows. Attending the party were:
Marjorie Klay, Louise Johnson,
Betty Morrison, Alice Schmidt, Col
leen Goodman, June Sechler, Sara
Jane Huser, Jean Ann Burcky, Lois
Hauenstein, Richard Minck, Rolland
Lugibill, Bob Stratton, Kent Stone

Sunday afternoon football seems
to be getting popular among the
young boys of the community. An
other game was held Sunday after
noon on the campus in which Gordon
