Celina’s powerful Class A basket
ball team, undefeated so far this
season, drubbed Bluffton High’s luck
less outfit, 45 to 21, Friday night on
the Celina court.
Bluffton High Cagers Lose To Strong
Celina Team By Score Of 45 To 21
Experiencing difficulty”in getting
started, the Pirates failed to scon*
from the field during the entire first
half, and left the floor at the inter
mission on the short end of a 17
to 5 score.
At one time in the third quarter,
the home team held a 20-point lead,
27 to 7, but Bluffton cagers finally
broke the ice so far as field goals
were concerned and whittled down
some of that advantage during the
remainder of the playing time.
Bluffton High cagers will play
away from home again this week,
meeting Kenton in a Western Buck
eye league game at that place Fri
day night.
Last week the Pirates lost their
first league game of the year to
Celina, but the tilt at Kenton will
give them an opportunity to even
their standing should they come thru
with a victory.
Kenton will be a formidable foe,
however, and the much larger class
A school is reported to have one of
its best teams in years. Bluffton, on
the other hand, has experienced
quite a bit of trouble in hitting a
-winning stride this winter.
The Pirates will not play at home
again until Friday, January 19.
H. S. Reserves Win
Fifth Of Six Games
Staging a stirring comeback after
trailing at halftime by eight points,
Bluffton High reserves won their
fifth game in six starts by edging
Celina seconds, 17 to 15, at that
place Friday night.
Score by quarters was 4 to 3, Ce
lina 11 to 3, Celina, and 11 to 5,
Celina. In the last period, however,
the Pirates finally got going and
knotted the count at the end of the
official game 13 to 13.
Victory came to the Pirates in the
overtime when Herr and Klassen
got field goals.
In the lineup for the reserves were
Lewis, Klay, Sommer, Reagan, Hart
man, Bracy, Smucker, Howe, Moser,
Klassen and Herr.
All Ohio seed samples to be
tested should be mailed to the State
Seed Laboratory, 713 State Office

The Bluffton News presents
another in the series of inter
esting and little known aspects
of South America.—EditTir.
Besides exerting a profound influ
ence over the national economic life
of a great many of the Latin Amer
ican countries, silver has produced in
the Western Hemisphere an art in
its own right: silversmithing.
If silver is considered not as a
monetary metal but as a medium
for turning out useful and beautiful
objects, it may be said to have been
the source of some of the most ar
tistic work done on our continent.
Long before the Spanish conquest
the art of silversmithing was known
to the natives of Peru and Mexico.
When Pizarro made prisoner the
Inca Atahualpa, he was offered a
roomful of gold and silver objects in
exchange for the liberty of the In
dian chief.
The conqueror accepted the propo
sition only to kill the Inca once he
had made himself master of his
riches. The loot was immediately
shipped to Spain where an important
part of it became the property of
Pizarro himself.
The Indians, of course, worked
metals in a rather crude way after
breaking up the raw mineral into
small pieces with hard black silex
stones, they piled it into small spe
cially constructed earthenware fur
naces which were placed on top of
an elevation that the wind might
fan their flames during the night.
The sight of all the little fires
burning brightly on the crest of
some Andean hill must have been
quite a colorful spectacle!
The introduction of alloys and the
actual silversmithing were obtained
through other similarly crude meth
ods. Peru was one of the most
advanced centers for the production
of silver-work in pre-Columbian
America, and the very excellence of
this production added to the greed
of the conquerors in taking back
with them the beautiful pieces turned
out by the natives.
Because Spanish galleons sailed
forth from the coasts of South
America loaded to the sinking line
with gold and silver treasures, there
remain in Peru itself very few au
thentic pieces of the period before
the conquest. Most of those that are
still in Peru were funeral offerings
recently unearthed from Inca tombs.
In Mexico, Hernan Cortes found the
art of silversmithing had been flour
ishing long before white men ever
landed in the new world, and that
the Aztecs possessed silver and gold
in an abundance which staggered the
imagination of a sixteenth century
European.
It is interesting to note that it
was because the Spaniards did not
have the physical endurance to work
the mines, that the Indian was
spared to become today one of the
most important factors of the racial
structure of Mexico.
W’ith the first settlers from Spain
to the new continent, there came not
only beautiful pieces of Spanish sil
ver, but also the silversmiths who
had made them. The newcomers
were in some sort “returning the
call” of Indian silver to Spain and
thus providing the necessary compe
tition and impetus to the continuance
of silversmithing in the colonies.
Indian craftsmen, while retaining
their original virility, were soon to
show the influence of the colonial
period, one which lasted more than
three centuries and was contempor
aneous with the culmination of the
Renaissance and the development of
the Baroque period, these trends, be
ing, of course, reflected in the silver
objects of the time.
The Spaniards soon promulgated
in their colonies their European reg
ulations governing silversmiths,
nmong them the payment of the
King’s fifth, the registering of marks
and the rule of ‘pure blood’ which
limited the right of silversmithing to
Spaniards or Creoles.
These laws were not always en
forced they were even sometimes en
tirely disregarded, thanks to which
the vigorous bestizo (half-breed) art
made its appearance.
While European motifs such as the
Austrian eagle and the pomegranate
were used by Indian craftsmen who
also adopted some oriental designs
brought across the Pacific from Ma
nila, they introduced their own in
digenous motifs of llamas, turkeys,
monkeys and imparted to most of
their creations a more solid, robust
and restrained feeling than would
have been expected in their times.
Here too, as in most artistic mani
festations of colonial times, the psy
chological element of revolt and in
dependence from the mother country
is present. It finds its expression in
simpler and more vigorous form than
those used by the Spaniards.
Silverware eventually became
cheaper than porcelain in most of the
Latin American colonies and was
used in every conceivable object from
cooking utensils to chandeliers and
from frames to metal tires binding
carriage wheels.
Domestic silver was produced in
Colonial times in Argentina, Bolivia,
Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia,
Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pan
ama, Peru, El Salvador and a small
amount in Paraguay, where, as in
Uruguay, there is little silver to be

Natives Of Peru Are Among
World’s Finest Silversmiths
found!
Modern silversmiths of Latin
America, particularly those of Mex
ico and Peru, owe much, if not all,
to the silversmiths of yesterday who
left them a tradition of beauty and
perfect craftsmanship.
Old Fashioned Winter
Brings Isolation
(Continued from page 1)
the fact that radios continue bring
ing latest news, and entertainment
to the snowbound rural families.
Autos Useless
Gone for the time being is the use
fulness of many farm automobiles.
Impassable drifts—fence high on
practically every rural road—keep
the family auto in the garage, and
in most cases e-'en tractors bog down
in the deep snow.
Farmers are coming to town on
long-unused bobsleds, and a few all
but-forgotten sleighs are on the road.
Old-timers say it is the first time in
20 years sleds and sleighs have been
needed, and the first occasion since
the advent of the automobile age
that cars have not been able to travel
on roads within two or three days
following the heaviest blizzards.
It also is common to see farmers
trudging into town on foot to get
provisions for the depleted family
larder, and to stop at the post office
for mail which cannot be delivered
by rural carriers.
For the first time in history Bluff
ton schools have been closed for
more than a period of two or three
days because of the weather. With
school buses unable to operate on
the snow-banked roads, there have
been only two da vs of school here
until Monday of this week since the
first blizzard struck this district on
December 11.
No Mail Delivery
Mail delivery can be made only on
those parts of rural routes which lie
on main highways, and for the first
time in the generation since rural
mail service was inaugurated 40
years ago farmers have had to come
to town for their mail. Service this
week is approaching normal altho
many roads still remain closed.
Work in clearing the roads also
has returned to the old hand-shovel
method of our grandfathers. County
and township motorized snow plows
are helpless in drifts that on many
roads are higher than the equipment
itself.
Consequently farmers along snow
blocked stretches of country roads
are organizing to clear them by
shovels, but this has proved a te
I dious process with recurring high
winds and snowfall soon building up
a new drift where one has just been
cleared away.
One of the prime necessities for
getting roads open results from the
heavy milk production of dairy farm
ers in this area. Ordinarily trucks
pick up the milk daily and deliver it
to the Page Dairy Co. and other pro
cessing plants in the district.
Must Get Milk
With roads blocked for weeks, milk
is accumulating on farms. Reports
have it that one farmer has every
utensil, including washtubs, brim
ming with milk. Altho in this
weather the milk will remain sweet,
indefinitely, farmers have no facili
ties for storage.
Many farmers selling milk to the
Page plant take it by tractor to
some point where it can be picked up
by truck, and others form a com
munity enterprise in loading it onto
a bobsled and hauling the cans to
town.
Those few farmers who can use
their automobiles report they must
drive miles out of their way to get
places. In many areas they leave
roads and drive over fields which are
bare in spots. North and south
roads are said to present the big
gest problem, and east and west
main roads are being the first to be
opened.
Bread remains the hardest item to
buy in Bluffton grocery stores, for
it is the first item on the list of
every farmer who manages to get
into town. In the worst days of the
storms many farm families were said
to be existing on a diet of potatoes,
pork and canned fruits. Now when
they get to tow n purchase of bread
is first on their lists, followed by
stopping at the post office.
Caulk Houses
The government is emphasizing
that the ordinary American home
can save from 10 per cent to 40 per
cent of its fuel by cutting off heat
loss through the roof and ceiling,
the walls, around and through win
dows and doors and by increasing
the efficiency of the heating plant.
One important and easy step in stop
ping heat leaks is the filling of
cracks and other small openings
around doors and windows and else
where in a structure with modern
caulking compounds, which can be
purchased in various forms of con
tainers, at relatively small cost,
from paint stores or paint depart
ments.

Holidays are officially over since
they gathered up the Christmas
trees last Saturday the trees are
to be used by the Sportsmen’s club
in making fish protection areas in
the Buckeye quarry—they’ll be sunk
in the water—perhaps it would be
correct to say that this is once the
fish will roost in the trees
and we’ll bet our last red ration

a winter like this one wonder
what’s happened to the boys who
ride the freights and stay overnight
here in the jail they may have
hied themselves off to a warmer
climate—or maybe the weather is
just too bad to travel and if
your memory goes back for a
twelve-month you may recall that
at this time last year there had been
scarcely any snow’ all winter
and it looked as if there would
never be another old-fashioned
winter ... all of which proves that
about the time we begin to believe
it can’t happen here is about the
time when it does happen

bobsleds that go thru town these
days coming in loaded to the gun

Just in event you’ve never spent
a winter in Siberia, you can get a
pretty good idea what it’s all about,
for this is a typical Siberian winter,
said Mrs. Albert Clapp, Bluffton
resident, a native of Russia. Well,
we’ve never seen Siberia—and after
shoveling snow this winter, we
haven’t any hankering for it.
There have been incidents galore
of motorists driving roundabout
ways in going places during this
time of snow* filled roads, but one
which we heard the other day is
tops thus far—w’hen Paul Stoodt,
superintendent of Beaverdam
schools residing northwest of Beaver
dam started out for the home of
his father-in-law, C. K. Van Meter,
a distance of a mile and a half
away. To reach his destination
Stoodt drove fifteen and three
i fourths miles. Some roads in the
Rockport district are reported filled
with drifts fence-high and have not
been traveled since New Year’s day.
Altho Bluffton college opened on
schedule last Wednesday, classes
were much depleted the first day,
because of inability of students and
faculty to travel. Tw’enty-four
students and one instructor, Rev.
Paul Shelly, enroute here by bus
were stranded overnight in Lima
when schedules w’ere cancelled and
arrived in Bluffton on the morning
Cleveland train over the Nickel
Plate. Pandora students came via
the A. C. & Y. instead of by auto.
However, Ray Hilty, registrar, who
had previously driven his car to
Pandora decided to stay’ there until
main roads were opened and ar
rived here Thursday. Miss Edna
Ramseyer, dean of women and her
sister, Mary Kay Ramseyer return
ing from Smithville arrived here on
Thursday morning, a day late.
It was a smart Bluffton house
wife who did some quick thinking
the other day when a panhandler
knocked at her back door with the
usual hard luck story and added
“Lady, I’ve been looking all over
for a job, but nobody will hire me”.
Promptly the woman came back
with “Well, let’s see your social
security card”, which the visitor
was unable to produce.
And speaking of credentials, draft
registration cards are reported as
being used to establish ages of
young blades when visiting night
spots in this area.
Now don’t get in a dither if your
garbage isn’t collected on schedule.
It's no summertime job to get thru
alleways these days. However, Lee
Coon, in charge of the municipal
collection system says that garbage
and rubbish will be picked up as
soon as the truck can get thru—
possibly the last of this w’eek, if it
doesn’t snow’ and drift again.
And here’s one fellow’ who wel
comes snow’—Sgt. Jim Ehrnman,
just back from three years in India
during which time he saw not so
much as a single snow flake. He
was here four years in college,
graduating in 1939, was in town
Tuesday calling on old friends. Sgt.
Jim was connected with the army’s
w’eather bureau in the India, Burma,
China area, supplying weather pre
dictions to the armed forces.
Death of Mrs. Sibyl Mollett
deprives her pet dog Rags of a

Mollett and the tw’o were seen al
