It’s a grand time for travel and sightseeing.
Mother Nature’s brilliant fall show is on dis
play. Trees are dressed in fiery reds and golds.
Hills and valleys are tinted in vibrant rusts
and browns. The countryside is a bright crazy
quilt of warm, glowing color.
The best way to enjoy a “close-up” view of
this autumn spectacle is through the large pic
ture frame windows of a Greyhound bus
windows especially designed for greater look
ing pleasure. And Greyhound’s deep cushioned,
reclining seats add enjoyment to every mile.
I Take your autumn trip now! Seats are mm
plentiful. Departures are frequent. Fares are
still at their low pre-war level.

Puppy Dairy Bar
When Dr. E. J. Hall’s Irish setter,
Pepper, gave birth to 13 puppies a
short time ago the Findlay veterin
arian built a wooden “dairy bar”
from which protrude 13 soft rubber
nipples at which they guzzle their
daily milk rations. They “snitch
snacks” from their mother, but Dr.
Hall tends bar twice a day, warm
ing the milk and then filling each
of the bottles with the correct
portion for their puppy stomachs.
Each feeding spout is labeled with
a name of one of the Irish pups—
Danny, Molly, O’Shea, Mike, Pepper,
Rosie, Bridget, McBoy, Mickey, Pat
O’Flynn, Dennis and Terry—but
come dinner time the “first there,

Pepper’s first family, although she
is 7 years old. .....

Few farmers will question the value of skim
milk in feeding pigs, calves or chickens. With
supplements so scarce, it becomes still more
profitable to keep that skim milk right on the
farm and sell the cream to The Page Dairy
Co. We always pay the highest price and our
truck picks up the cream right at the farm.

THE BLUFFTON NEWS, BLUFFTON, OHIO
Perry Hayden, “Quaker miller” of
Tecumseh, Mich., told a Hancock
County Farmers Club at Findlay.
The nation has destroyed crops and
has been wasteful and must pay
for it, he said.
Fire Levels Two Barns
At County Home
A fire of undetermined origin
destroyed two large bams on the
Hancock county home farm early
Sunday morning.
Sixty tons of hay, 12-tons of
straw, a bull, two wagons, milking
equipment, harness and other mis
cellaneous farm machinery were
lost in the fire. Members of the
board of county commissioners de
clined to estimate the loss, which
will be many thousands.
The fire was discovered at 1:40
a. m. Sunday by Frank Sidenbender,
a resident of the home.
Burning Weeds Cause
Of Collision
Smoke from burning roadside
weeds blinded the drivers, and
caused a collision involving Ralph
Snyder, 39, of Findlay on route 199
two and a half miles north of U. S.
6 at 4:20 p. m. Saturday, according
to the state highway patrol.
Mrs. Alberta B. Cruen, 53, wife
of Harter Creun, 56, Kansas, Ohio,
driver of the other car, sustained
leg bruises.
HARDIN COUNTY
Mail Carrier Retires
Totes Sacks 31 Years
“Sure the life of a mailman is
tough, but it has its compensa
tions,” says Mike Claybaugh, who is
retiring after having roamed the
streets of Kenton for the last 31
years.
Estimating he would have walked
around the world at least three
times, had he kept going due east,
instead of returning to the Kenton
post office each day, Mike says that
the government never, to his know
ledge, has improved on that satchel
he has had to shoulder for 31 years.
The toughest period of mail-carry
ing he has faced was during the two
World Wars, particularly the last.
In the first, Mike never so much as
had a boy on his route wounded.
In the last he didn’t fare so well.
“The hardest job in my career
was delivering the confirming letters
on the deaths of two boys on my
route, one who was killed in the
Pacific, the other in the Atlantic
theatre.”
Mike, who wears out a pair of
half-soles in four or five weeks,
figures he also has worn out a lot
of dogs. One dog in particular,
Jerry by name, followed him on his
rounds for years.
Kenton Aroused Over
Vice Conditions
The Hardin county grand jury,
investigating gambling and vice
conditions in the county reconvened
to continue investigation into vice
conditicns.
Kenton citizens have become
aroused as reports of window peep
ers and minor sex crimes were cul
minated by the criminal attack on
two Kenton girls, 16 and 18, in a
woods by two unidentified assailants.
At least five Kenton homes re
ported that in the past week window
peepers have been spotted.
Magazine Publishes
O. N. U. Trailer Scene
Ohio Northern University rates
nation-wide publicity with a natural
color picture, “Housekeeping On
Campus,” on the cover of a current
issue of Pathfinder magazine.
The picture shows Paul Rizor,
Mt. Victory law student and presi
dent of the Veterans Association on
the campus, being greeted by his
wife, Barbara, at the door of their
trailer home on his return from
classes.
972 Students Flock To
Ohio Northern
The close of registration at Ohio
Northern University shoved a total
of 972 students who began class
work, the beginning of the univer
sity’s 76th year. Approximately 450
are freshman, largest such class in
the school’s history.
Fraternity houses, the armory and
gymnasium are being used as sleep
ing quarters. Even more pressing
is the problem of eating, as Ada
restaurants are taxed to capacity.
Couple At Kenton
Skate Into Marriage
Married life should roll smoothly
for Mr. and Mrs. Jerald Columber
of Kenton after a skating start.
The bride, Arleen Thompson, and
the groom, Jerald Columber, skated
forward at a rink in south Kenton
as the juke box blared forth the
“Skaters Waltz.” Justice of peace
Worley Smith, Kenton, performed
the ceremony on roller skates.
The remainder of the wedding
party glided into position surround­
ing the principals and the ceremony
was accomplished without mishap or
fall.
Hardin County Fair
Under Way
Work was speeded to complete
several new buildings at the Hardin
county fairgrounds in time for the
fair which opened Tuesday.
The horse barn, a long cement
block building, is roofed and is used
to stable horses for this year’s fair.
It centers on the west side of the
newly constructed race track. The
track itself is holding races this
year.
The agricultural hall, a T-shaped
building, has been practically com
pleted and available. The cattle
barn, one of the units of several
connecting buildings is partially con
structed.
A second cattle barn, sheep bam,
and swine barn are expected to be
ready for the fair next year.
The fair closes Friday evening.

Canning Explosion In
jures Housewife
Mrs. Clarence Conine suffered a
painful injury at her home north of
Gilboa when a jar of hot tomatoes
exploded and the flying glass cut a
large gash in her leg. She was
taken to the office of a Leipsic
physician where it required several
stitches to close the wound.
Need Canning Help
If the present crop of tomatoes
are to be preserved, additional em
ployes must be obtained for work
in the Ottawa, Columbus Grove and
Pandora canning plants, where there
are from 3,000 to 4,000 more hamp
ers in each plant than there are
workers to process the crop.
