household in Bluffton—except one—
thev saV there’s only one dwelling in
town without electric current service
we’ve come a long way since the
gay nineties when Bluffton’s streets
were lighted by kerosene lamps
and it looks as if we’re going into a
new era of air travel with journeys
measured in hours instead of days
and weeks—Charlie Hankish flies
home from Syria in 28 hours after
four months visiting in his old home
town—and Catherine Gratz and Viola
Welty returning by plane to the mis
sion field in Africa Bluffton re
tailers busy with inventory-taking
this week—they say that trade since
the holidays has been surprisingly
good egg prices drifting to low
er levels as seasonal production in
creases and butter prices down—
some forecasts predict 50-cent butter
by June.
Highlights we remembered from
the past year—three fatalities—Otis
Leiber struck by a car while crossing
the street in the business section
two industrial fatalities—Edward
Scheele at the Bluffton Stone plant
and a lineman from Dover electrocu
ted in an accident at the Central O
hio Light & Power company’s gener
ating station here ... it was the
coldest August in 57 years and
the driest September in history
and the council ended the controver
sy by putting the town permanently
on slow time and there was no
mosquito control—but plenty of mos
quitoes and the high school base
ball team trailing Lima St. Gerard’s
12 to 0 rang up 13 runs in the last
three innings to win 13 tj 12 in a
Garrison finish.
Ice covered streets the past week
have brought forth a lot of ideas for
pedestrians’ non-skid footwear. One
of the most novel is that of putting
adhesive tape on shoe soles. Those
who have tried it say it really works.
For the second successive year,
Joyce Irene Elliott, 21-months old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford
Elliott of West Kibler street has been
featured in the New Year’s issue of
The Toledo Blade as young 1947
making its initial bow. The photo
graphs were taken by her father and
present the young lady in some at
tractive poses.
Bluffton can ill-afford the loss
which it sustained in the death of
Don Conrad last week. He combined
a keen intellect and mature judgment
with a sense of civic responsibility
and gave in full measure of his time
and talent to many activities for the
promotion of community wellbeing.
Death in his early forties has cut
short many years of public service
which might have otherwise benefit
ted his home town. We need more
men like| Don.

When you are a long way from

anything from Bluffton looks good.
And that’s what happened to Charlie
Hankish, Bluffton confectioner while
over in Syria. Imagine his surprise
when he spied a Triplett meter on a
small electric generator set near Bei
rut. He could scarcely believe his
eyes until he read "Bluffton, Ohio,
U. S. A.,” in the familiar small let
ters at the bottom of the dial—and
right then and there he gave the as
sembled natives a first-hand pep
talk about the advantages of indus
trial Bluffton as one of the best spots
in America.
And from Scotland writes Barbara
Joyce Hauenstein Tod that she had
heard the singing of "The Messiah”
twice the past year and on two con

Syria and on Christmas night in Ed

only other time she had heard it a
way from Bluffton was in Nashville,
Tennessee, one hour after Pearl Har

ticipated with the orchestra when it
was given here at the Christmas sea

Purpose of the camp period—to
