Lull In Activity
Caucus nominations next week
will break a long lull in local politi
cal activity, occasioned principally
by the fact that with no inter-party
contests developing for Bluffton
municipal offices a municipal prim
ary election was not needed this
summer.
Neither Democrats or Republicans
completely filled their tickets for the
town election. Democrats failed to
nominate a candidate for mayor, and
Republicans lack two candidates for
council and a candidate for town
clerk. Both parties have incomplete
slates for the Board of Public Af
fairs.
Deadline for filing declarations of
candidacy for the November election
is August 8 this year, which is
earlier than usual to permit ade
quate time to print and get ballots
into the hands of Ohio men and
women in military service.
All caucus nominations must be on
file by that date, and August 8 also
will mark the final day on which
additional candidates may have their
names added to the municipal ballot,
if they file declarations before the
deadline. Any who file for the latter
ticket in this manner will have their
names added to the town ballot in a
separate column without party
designation.

Ohio experiments show that ap
plication of lime enough to permit
legume growth increased corn yields
18 bushels, wheat yields eight
bushels, and timothy hay yields six
tenths of a ton per acre. These
increases indicate there is a very
good profit in applying lime aside
from its principal value, which is
to pave the way for clover and
alfalfa.

(Concluded from page 1)
ed by the court are recounted in Sgt.
Romey’s letters to his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Elmer Rontey, of South
Main street, excepts from which are
as follows:
“Mayor Hague of Jersey City
couldn’t be a bigger czar of his
region than Bill (Lt. Kiley) and I
are of this place. We really are not
the military government but we have
enough say about things to be
brought in on everything. We help
decide all the little problems that
arise, even local civilian squabbles.
“However, we at least temper our
justice with plenty of common sense.
We can make snap judgments which
set the term of punishment for local
offenders and also scrutinize all the
people who are hired by the local
administration.
“Some of the anti-Nazis are not
satisfied with the way we handle
things. They think we haven’t done
enough. We haven’t taken away the
property of and beat up the former
Nazis, which they would like to see
carried out. They want us to sub
stitute an American system for the
thing we fought against.
“I for one do not want to help
them wash their dirty laundry and
settle their petty personal affairs,
altho we have certain groups of so
called Americans over here who are
more than happy to do such things.
I haven’t figured out yet whether
we are feared or respected, but at
least we get plenty of attention.
“When Bill and I drive down the
street, we pass dozens of people
whom we have dealt with, either in
regard to the local administration or
in our regular work. It’s sometimes
embarrassing for we still have the
non-fraternization regulations, and
it’s very hard to carry out our work
and still keep within the rules and
regulations. You have to be friend
ly with these people or you won’t
get any information.
“Our work has turned me into an
investigator, prosecutor, judge and
jury, and occasionally I apply some
economics, for we get our fingers
into every kind of problem a town of
5,000 people can have.
“You would get a kick out of the
way we sometimes work. Sometimes
we make arrests, then act as prose
cutors and ask the questions, and
last, but not least, act as judges and

“The other day we had three
young and cocky kids who after we
released them returned home and
laughed at our easy treatment. We
heard about it and now they are
working for our troops. One day
they were street sweepers another
day they scrubbed the sidewalks and
street in front of one of the build
ings occupied by one of our units.
One kid complained that it was em
barrassing to him, so the next day
he was put to work cleaning a cess
pool. We have given orders that
they be used for army detail work
until they forget Nazi ideology. They
aren’t dangerous, only young and
cocky.
“It’s a real problem to decide these
things fairly and justly, without
resorting to the same methods the
Nazis used. It’s mighty hard keep
ing a level head and still keeping
the people from thinking we are the
easy-going, big-hearted Americans.
“I had a surprise the other morn
ing when an old man brought me a
large bouquet of roses and German
carnations for my birthday. I had
helped his daughter to get him out
of a concentration camp in Czecho
slovakia, and she must have remem
bered that once when she asked my
age I told her I had a birthday soon.
“I didn’t do much for her except
the routine work that we ordinarily
do. She speaks excellent English
and has studied music in London.
She is half Jewish and was formerly
a concert singer. I showed her the
clipping about the Bluffton college
Booster concert last spring and the
numbers Carolyn had sung. The
father was formerly a director of
music in Frankfurt and is a very
good musician.
