Made us feel like spring this week
with Herman Bosse Opening his sug
ar camp—they say he is tapping 250
trees on the Grossly farm in Orange
township .... and Washington’s
birthday Friday—so remember to dis
play the flag and birthday the
past week of Mrs. Philip Dye of
Wellston—you’ll remember her a s
Esta Lugibill, whose husband thotful
ly provides a Bluffton News subscrip
tion each year as a birthday gift
and speaking of birthdays we heard
the other day that the age of discre
tion was that point in life when
you’re too young to die and too old
to have any fun and one frustrat
ed househunter said he would like to
go back to the good old days when
one-third of the nation was ill-housed
—at least they then had some sort of
house which is more than a lot of
people have nowadays and a wag
observed the other day that the
groundhog didn’t come out of his den
this year, because he was afraid

The almost snowless winter this
year is making a neat saving for
Richland township in both dollars and
hard work. Last year the township
snow equipment was engaged in an
almost constant battle to keep the
roads cleared of snow at a cost of
approximately $2,600. This year the
cost has been only nominal. One of
the trustees estimated this week that
the cost would not exceed $25. Money
spent for snow removal comes from
the township’s road fund and delays
the program of hardsurfacing. Pre
sent plans are for hardsurfacing four
miles of highway in the township.
After this is completed there will re
main 18 miles of stone pike roads
in the township, it is stated.
Beaverdam this Thursday is hold
ing its first farm institute in 13
years. It will be for one day only
and there will be a good program.
Sessions will be in the high school
auditorium with state and county
speakers slated for addresses.
Sgt. Wilhelm Amstutz II, stationed
at a Marine air base 10 miles west
of Peiping, China and son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. A. Amstutz north of Bluff
ton, sends a copy of a leaflet in
Chinese proclaiming the “cease fir
ing” order, thousands of which were
dropped by American planes over
Communist territory in North China
presumably after the conferences
held by U. S. Ambassador Marshall
with Chiang Kai-Shek and Commun
ist leaders. The leaflet is attracting
much atention in the News window.
Rex is dead. He was the two year
old police dog in which scores of
Bluffton people became interested
after his young master, Robert Wilch
of West Elm street had inserted
classified ads in the News for infor
mation regarding the dog’s where
abouts after his disappearance three
weeks ago. Robert found his pet
Sunday, dead in a field near his
home, apparently a victim of poison
ing. Rex was buried Sunday by his
broken-hearted master. Robert will
have his 17th birthday, Thursday.
Life nowadays is just one thing
after another—and the latest is the
shortage of egg crates, which is giv
ing Bluffton produce dealers some
extra headaches in addition to the
disastrous break in the egg market
several weeks ego. Produce buyers
say they never have seen a time when
egg crates are so scarce. Eggs can
not be piled up or placed in sacks
like other food products in storage
so lack of crates or other containers
will certainly result in wasted food
at a time when world needs are criti
cal.
And speaking of eggs reminds us
that the present incubator-brooder
method almost universally followed
in hatching chicks is a comparative
new development. It was only some
thirty years ago that a few venture
some poultrymen decided to discard
the hen in favor of a new-fangled
contraption which appeared on the
market known as a hard coal brooder,
which was followed by the rapid rise
of the commercial hatchery business.
Comes from the Andrew’ Gratzs,
Bluffton people who are wintering at
St. Petersburg, Florida, copies of
newspapers and publicity concerning
the sunshine attractions of that city,
as a haven for winter-weary folks.
After all the assortment of weather
during the past wreek, including Wed
nesday night’s gale and Thursday’s
blizzard some of that Florida sun
shine would look mighty good.

is Richard Cupp, president of the
All-Agricvlture Council. Dick, as all
the college knows him, is majoring
in Floriculture, and finds plenty of
time for the extra curriculars.
“Besides busy council proxy, he’s
at the helm in the Hort Society and
served as the official University
Grange delegate to the ACLA (Rural
Youth of the U. S.) conference this
past fall and still finds time for so
cializing, too.
“Ambition—owning a flower shop.
‘I’ll have one that has reasonable
prices, too—even on holidays.’ Dick’s
really special interest is in flower de-'
signing.
On one subject this fellow is a con
stant crusader. He thinks all the ru
ral youth should come to college—
and a big college. He ‘wouldn’t trade
the years here for anything.’
“A sense of humor, laughing blue
eyes, and a man who’s everywhere—
it’s bound to be Dick!”
