Lt. Robert and Staff Sgt. Herbert Oyer, two Bluffton servicemen, broth ers, met for the first time in 18 months in the Philippines, September 26, according to word received here the first of the week. Both were sta tioned on Luzon. Two days later Herbert was sent to Nagoya, Japan as part of the occupation forces. The Paul Faze family south of Bluffton had a double celebration last Sunday, the occasion being the 17th wedding anniversary of Mr, and Mrs. Faze and the birthday anniversary of their four year old daughter, Pauline. The family spent the day with Mrs. Faze’s brother, Oliver Sutter at Oak Harbor. He was undeniably handsome—that young sergeant on Main street the other day, and apparently a stranger —but that didn’t stop two subdebs with a candid camera who corralled him at the bank corner and asked permission to take his picture. He consented to pose and the girls got several shots. Then they asked his name and address, but he demurred. “But”, they insisted, “when we get the film developed how will we know who it is?” Without a moment’s hesitation the sergeant replied with & smile, “Oh, just say it’s the unknown soldier.” Out at Seth Basinger’s Morning Star press we’ve often admired some fine Currier and Ives prints which he has framed and hanging on the wall. Currier and Ives were among the earliest American color printers and engravers and their work furnishes a graphic record of the dress and cus toms of America a hundred years ago. An unusually large number of these prints are found in the Swiss Settle ment, most all of the older homes have at least one or bore, frequently covered with dust in the attic. Old timers say they were given as prizes for scholarship back in the days of the little red school house. Genuine Currier and Ives prints are valuable and eagerly sought by collectors. However there are a lot of imitations so before you part with your cash, be sure it’s an original—they say George Combs can tell which are genuine. And speaking of relics—George Carmack, Bluffton motion picture im presario, has a hand-operated vacu um cleaner, one of the first to be put on the market and forerunner of the present motor driven cleaner. They are not relics for museum pur poser, but in every day use, those old towels which Wesley Tipple has at his home in Orange township. How ever, they could qualify as relics, for they were made by his mother, Mrs. Eli Tipple from flax which was raised on their farm. The Tipple family were among the early settlers in Or ange township, their farm being in the Main school district. The towels made more than fifty years ago are still in excellent condition, showing no sign of wear. Death of Milton S. Hershey, 88 year old chocolate king-philanthopist which occurred Saturday at Hershey, Pa., was of more than passing interest here as Hershey came from a Penn sylvania family of Reformed Mennon ites.

His death occurred in Hershey hos pital which he founded and gave to the town which he established as a model community with population of more than 4,(KM). He also founded the Hershey industrial school for or phans and his $84 million estate was left to “the orphan boys of America.” “This reminds me of the games we used to play” mused one of the real oldtimers as Bluffton and Ada battled at the College homecoming game last Saturday afternoon. “West and Flick were about our only experienced men—most of the rest of us never saw a game before. The only differ ence is that we used to get taken by 50 or 60 points.” Altho the apple yield in Ohio is a failure this fall, Idaho is picking one of its finest crops, writes Miss Eunice Trumbo, formerly of Rockport now living at Council, Idaho. Orchardists are getting $3.18 a basket and jobs for apple pickers are plentiful, she says.
