FIRE DESTROYS BIG
BARN AND STOCK
EARLY WEDNESDAY
Large Structure on Haydn Ba
singer Farm Is Burned
to Ground
Livestock, Implements and Feed
Lost Help Prevents
Spread of Flames
Fire of unknown origin totally de
stroyed a large barn on the Haydn
Basinger farm five miles northwest
of Bluffton early Wednesday morn
ing. All of the contents including
livestock, implements and feed were
lost in the blaze.
Only prompt response of the Pan
dora and Columbus Grove fire de
partments prevented the flames from
spreading to the dwelling house
nearby. Wind blowing from the
burning barn showered the tin roof
of the house with blazing embers.
Extent of the damage, which will
be heavy, could not be immediately
determined, Wednesday. The loss is
partially covered by insurance.
Motorists Discover Fire
The fire was discovered by two un
identified Findlay men driving in an
automobile on State Route 12, a mile
north of the Basinger farm. At
tracted by the blaze they drove to the
scene of the fire and gave the alarm
shortly after 3 a. m.
The flames had gained sufficient
headway when help came that it was
impossible to save the blazing struc
ture and attention was turned to pre
venting a spread of the fire.
The two Findlay motorists, first
on the scene of the fire succeeded in
moving Basinger’s automobile which
was parked near the barn and would
have been destroyed.
Tractor, Livestock I-ost
Heat from the burning building,
however, prevented moving of a new
tractor also standing near the barn.
Livestock burned included nine cows
and several calves and one sow and
little pigs. Also lost were 1,000
bushels of corn.
Two horses which may have been
in the barn could not be located
Wednesday morning, however, it is
believed that possibly they were in
the woods nearby at the time of the
fire.
The barn, one of the largest struc
tures of its kind in the Swiss Set
tlement, was built some sixty years
ago by David Lugibill, grandfather
of the present owner.
This is the third large barn in
that vicinity to burn within the past
eight years. Ohers were those on
the Christian Zimmerly and Samuel
King farms.
Child Breaks Leg
Playing With Sled
Eugenia Kibele, two-year-old dau
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Kibele,
broke her leg while playing with her
sled at her home on the Dixie high
way north of town, Monday after
noon at 3:30 o’clock.
Mrs. Kibele had just stepped in
the house when she heard her dau
ghter cry and upon investigating
found that Eugenia was unable to
walk and that her right leg was
broken. It is believed that she
twisted her leg while playing with
the sled.
O. N. U. Athlete Is
High School Coach
Kent Cotterman, outstanding ath
lete at Ohio Northern university for
the past three years, has been elect
ed coach and instructor of physical
education and science at Bluffton
High school, replacing George Swank,
who left Wednesday for army serv
ice.
Cotterman played on the univers
ity football, basketball, baseball and
track teams. He will graduate from
the university school of education
this spring.
The new coach is in the V-7 classi
fication in the naval reserve and will
not likely be called to the service
until July. His father is superin
tendent of schools at Alger. Cotter
man assumed his teaching duties
here the first of the week.
Annual Red Cross
Drive Is Under Way
With a quota of $2,000 in the com
munity, the annual Red Cross drive
is under way in Bluffton. This is
double the figure of last year and
residents here are responding to the
appeals very favorably, it was stated
s \y G. R. Bogart, chairman.
Bread Sliced Or
Not, Makes Little
Difference Here
DLUFFTON housewives who
voiced some objections to the
ban on sliced bread several
weeks ago, showed little interest
when the sliced loaves made
their appearance in stores here
Wednesday.
Sliced or not sliced really
makes little difference, was the
apparent attitude of the woman
who sets the table for the family
three times daily.
Sliced bread, they said was
more convenient, but ndf*w vital
matter in these days when re
strictions in connection with food
rationing have raised problems
which dwarf sliced—or unsliced
bread into insignificance.

Traveling more than 6,000 miles
in about 40 flying hours, Miss Irma
Schneck, missionary to Nigeria in
British West Africa, arrived at the
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Schneck of Pandora on Sunday
morning to spend a year’s furlough.
This modern miracle of transporta
tion enabled Miss Schneck to leave
her mission station at Tofa, 800 miles
from the coast in the deep interior,
and find her1 setting her feet on Amer
ican soil at Miami, Fla., in less than
two days of flying time.
The entire journey was made by
plane. Tofa is only 20 miles from
Kano, a large city with rail and air

Based
Jetermination of Easter
on Ancient Astronomical
Formula
Due to an astronomical condition
occurring but once every century,
the Christian world began observ
ance on Wednesday of the latest
Lenten period of the 20th century.
March 10 and April 25 are the
latest possible dates in the calendar
on which Ash Wednesday and Easter
resptively may fall. The last time
Easter was this late was way back
in 1886 and the next time will be
in 2038.
The unusual regulations governing
the selection of Easter and Ash Wed
nesday were made in 325 A. D. at
the Council of Christian churches at
Nicea in Asio Minor. At that time
it was decided that Easter falls on
the first Sunday after th® day
of the moon
veupdl eqtiinox rst^ay’of spring
which this year will be March 21.
Basing the selection of Eastern on
the moon was due to the fact that
the Pilgrims needed the moonlight to
travel safely on their way to the
Great Christian Eastern festivals
held every year.
The mathematical explanation is
as follows: The moon which comes
after the vernal equinox this year
begins on April 4. Fourteen days
after that date is April 18, which
happens to fall on a Sunday, and
the next Sunday after that is Easter,
April 25.
Once the Easter date is determined
Ash Wednesday is found by counting
back 40 days, the period of Lent.
Sundays are not counted in the de
termination which brings this year’s
Ash Wednesday to Mairh 10.

40 Hours in Air
With stop-overs at the various
ports the air journey took little less
than a week from the time she left

This is quite in centra st to the
lengthy period of time required to

The plane encountered a heavy
