In scoring their win, the Burcky
men made good use of three bunts
after the eighth inning leadoff man,
Moore was safe on an error.
Reagan, following Moore, was safe
at first on a bunt another Pirate
bunted and was thrown out at first,
with the runners advancing, and
Hartman then bunted down the first
base line to score Moore.
The game was a nice pitchers’
battle all the way between Wilch of
Bluffton, and inters, of St. Johns,
feach of whom allowed seven hits.
Neither team was able to garner
in any single
more than one run
inning.

Youngsters, who ore active and full

Bracy-Stearns combination was de
feated in the other doubles assign
ment.

Building Boom Is Launched to
Beat Housing Shortage

street on the College road, and the
Weldon Deppler residence recently
completed on the J. C. Deppler farm
just outside the town corporation on
the Bentley road, is occupied.
Two other houses are nearing com
pletion. A brick structure on the
’former “Foundry Corner”, Grove and
Jackson streets, is ready for plumb
ing and interior finishing. It will be
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Ulrich Am
stutz, who came here a year ago from
Wisner, Neb.
A home being built on West Elm
street, near the College road, will be
ready in June for occupancy by the
Harlan Moser family. They now re
side on South Mound street in a pro
perty they sold recently to Charles
Conrad. The Conrads will move from
the Chamberlain apartments on
Cherry street into the Mound street
property when vacated by Mosers.
Merl Habegger now has a prefab
ricated house under construction on
the lot at the corner of Elm street
and the College road. Two other
prefabricated units are being erected
on the Bluffton college campus to
house four student families.
Will Move House
Another way to beat the housing
shortage will be demonstrated by
Ben Shafer, who bought a house in
Benton Ridge and will move it to
Bluffton this spring. The building
will be placed on the two lots Shafer
purchased recently adjoining the Levi
Frankhauser property near the Allen
Hancock county line, in the Fred
Mueller addition fronting on Route
103.
Shafer expects to bring the house
here in May, after which it will be
remodeled. Fred Badertscher, owner
of the property Shafer occupies at
South Main and Kibler streets, plans
to remodel the residence into a two
family duplex this summer.
Two families have completed over
size garages in which they are living
unt^l homes can be bulit. Both are
located in the Fred Mueller addition
on the Dixie highway, and occupants
are the Harvey Wilch and Gene Mer
icle families.
Another garage now under con
struction in the King addition on
Harmon road will be occupied by the
Richard Davies family this spring.
Mrs. Davies is the former Vernice
McElroy. The family now is living
with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Frank
McElroy on South Main street.
Expansion Needs Are Facing
Board of Public Affairs
(Continued from Page 1)
Councilmen took the matter under
consideration, with a report expect
ed at the next meeting.
Repair Water Tank
Board of Public Affairs spokesmen
also asked council permission to ad
vertise for bids covering the cost of
repairing and painting the present
water tank, which is in poor condi
tion.
At the same time, they pointed out
that a larger tank, in a central loca
tion. The 83,000-gallon capacity of
tion is needed. The 83,000-gallon
capacity of the present tank, erected
50 years ago, no longer is sufficient
for the town, and pressure is main
tained in mains here largely by
means of the waterworks pumps.
No recommendation on the matter
of a new water tower, however, was
presented to the council by the board.
The problem of chlorination of the
town’s water supply is an old one,
and the state’s recommendation is one
of long standing. Continued growth
of the village, however, has served to
intensify the state’s demands in the
matter, and a showdown in the issue
eventually must be faced.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank all the neighbors
and friends for their aid and sym
pathy extended during the illness and
death of our beloved wife and
mother especially do we thank Rev.
Bigelow who officiated at the funeral
services and Mrs. O. C. Hursey for
her singing, the American Legion
Auxiliary, the Red Cross, donors of
cars for the funeral, the Hankish
Confectionery, and all those sending
flowers.

THE BLUFFTON NEWS. BLUFFTON. OHIO
A habit established in war years
is in evidence again here this spring,
with the town’s former “Victory
Gardeners” wielding shovels, rakes
and hoes in backyard plots.
Those who have comparatively
small gardens which can be spaded
by hand are getting along all right,
but gardeners with larger plots are
experiencing difficult this spring in
getting their ground plowed.
Farmers with tractors are too busy
in their own fields to get into town,
and most of them are too short
handed so far as spring plowing is
concerned to worry about the plight
of Bluffton’s gardeners. Plowing
done by tractor is bringing prices
ranging from $3 to $5 for a single
lot!
Victory gardeners, however, are
far wiser than when they were
flushed with enthusiasm in early
war years, and smaller plots satisfy
most of them this spring. Many
have learned the hard way that a
small well-managed garden will re
turn more vegetables than a poorly
operated large plot.
One of the most common mistakes
in the early days of victory garden­
collect. John Dun
So successful
was Dun at this work that when a
person refused to pay his debts,
friends of the creditor would say to
him “Why don’t you Dun him?”
meaning, why don’t you send John
Dun after him? From this arose the
custom of calling a pressing request
for the payment of money a “dun.”

FELIX B. STREYCKMANS
and ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Dun
I) ACK in the days of King Henry
VII of England, a famous bailiff
named John Dun, lived in the town
of Lincoln. He was one of the earli
est exponents of the “treat ’em
rough” method of dealing with of
fenders against the law. He was
also unusually proficient collecting
rents, duties and
originated the ic
debtors’ houses,
dressed in an odd
and colorful cos
tume, to attract
the attention of
the neighbors.
Sometimes he
would walk up
and down in front
of the debtor’s
house broadcast
ing to the whole
neighborhood the
nature of the debt
he was sent to
general debts. He
lea of calling at
Ohio milk production the last week
in February was a little higher than
for the same week in 1945. Subsidy
payments of 60 cents a hundred
weight on milk and 17 cents a pound
on butterfat continue to May 1 and
then drop to 25 cents a hundred
weight and to 10 cents a pound until
July 1.
The 1946 support price on soy
beans will be the same as was in
effect in 1945, the base price being
$2.04 per bushef. Deductions will be
made for soybeans of poor quality,
with high moisture content, and of
colors other than yellow or green.
Soybean acreage goals have been
increased because the supply of oils
end fats is not equal to demands.
The use of wheat or any product
of wheat in making malt beverages
was prohibited March 1. The aggre
gate of all other grains used by
brewers also was limited to 70 per
cent of the amounts used by the
brewing industry in 1945. Wheat is
needed for human food, and the
supply of feed grains for livestock
is likely to be below amounts re
quired by farmers, ranchers, and
poultrymen.
Farmers installing water systems
are advised to choose pumps large
enough so they need not be operated
more than two hours a day to
provide sufficient water. People re
quire an average of 25 gallons of
water daily, cows 15 gallons, horses
10 gallons, hogs two gallons, and
chickens four gallons per 100 birds.
Changeable weather makes extra
hazards in raising chicks. Unless
automatic controls regulate brooders
accurately, there are likely to be
sudden temperature changes in the
brooder house. Too much heat or
too much cold are almost equally
disastrous to the chicks, so extra
vigilance is needed.
ing was in the selection of too large
a plot of ground, and only thru ex
perience did many amateurs learn
that it isn’t the size of the garden
as much as the skill of managing it
that produces the best results and
fills the home vegetable cellar in the
fall.
Another lesson learned the hard
way by many was the knowledge
that it isn’t the bubbling-over zest
of early spring, evaporating with the
hot days of mid-summer, that gets
things done, but rather a carefully
mapped plan of work and crop rota
tion.
Planting early crops that can be
harvested in early summer and fol
lowed by later maturing vegetables
can go far toward eliminating un
necessary work, and still produce
the same results that a larger plot
could give.
Three years of gardening have
taught many that the duties of their
regular jobs do not permit much
time for outside activities, and that
it is better to tend a small garden
well than to plant a plot too large
for the time they have to spend on
it.
