Some of them said it wasn’t the
heat—it was the .humidity that we
felt the first of the week we
were too fagged out to argue—
anyway a rose by a different name
would smell as sweetly—or wouldn’t
it—and whether you call it heat or
humidity can’t make much difference
as far as we’re concerned and
those anxious sisters who thot there
wouldn’t be any more summers are
speechless and it’s been a big
boost to the corn crop—some of the
boys say you can almost hear it
grow—fact is we heard the other
day from a farmer who is usually
pretty accurate on long range fore
casts that the com crop around here

will be just about normal, after all
.. and that big rain last Thursday
night followed by scattered showers
gave gardens and lawns a new
start and speaking of starts we
wonder where all these horse flies
come from—never saw so many—
and they say there are four new
kinds of mosquitoes and grasshop
pers are on the upswung and
the first diesel locomotive to go thru
Bluffton was seen here Sunday
afternoon on the Nickel Plate tracks
—wonder what some of the oldtimers
in the days of woodburning engines
would have thot and now with
oil as fuel we might like to be a
fireman and these starlit nights
you can spot the rising of Sirius,
the dog star, which is a sign that
fall’s near—as the katydids are pro
claiming nightly only 10 days
until Labor day—if you expect to
snatch a day’s outing you’ll have to
hurry and speaking of outings
a lot of fans drove over to Canton
last Friday night when Schmidt
was a headline attraction but
when it comes to outings, remember
those oldtime excursions to Cedar
Point when the L. E. & W. ran
a train of crow’ded coaches—there
never were enough seats and
Charlie Hankish ran the refreshment
stand in the baggage car with Lee
Coon helping and the boat ride
across Sandusky bay and a big pic
nic dinner of fried chicken and
everyone went in bathing on that
long sandy beach—the girls wore
bathing suits that really covered up
—and stockings, too nothing like
today’s two piece scanties with bare
midriff and saltwater taffy and
cotton candy and crying babies
and eager youngsters enjoying
thrills on the high roller coaster
and gay young blades in peg top

Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Haller and
Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Clever returned
Sunday from a 1,654 mile trip thru
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Indiana.
Highlights of the trip included a
65 mile boat cruise to Mackinac is
land and Les Cheneaux islands, the
locks at Sault Ste Marie and a boat
trip on the Wisconsin river thru the
scenic Wisconsin Dells. While in the
latter region they attended the
Stand Rock Indian ceremonial dances
by the Winnebago Indians. They also
visited Mr. Clever’s uncle and grand
father in Oshkosh, Wis.
Mrs. Elvira Sutter Perry, who was
killed in an automobile accident in
New Mexico last week was a favor

years ago when she played juvenile
parts in home talent productions.
Perhaps the most noteworthy of
these was “Tags the Waif” an old
time melodrama in which she had

hall, now occupied by the Legion
post. Mrs. Perry was the daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. J. J. Sutter now
of Lima. Her father was a Bluffton
physician at the time.
Folks along the way looked twice
the other day—just to be sure that
what they saw was Ed Conaway of
the Sohio service station driving the
Paul Diller ambulance with siren
open on a hurry-up run to Beaver
dam. It all happened when a call
came for the ambulance with no
regular driver immediately available
—so Conaway who services the car
volunteered for the trip, taking
along his son Tom as assistant and
making the run in jig-time with no
untoward incidents.
The John Garlingers who picked
ten gallon of raspberries growing
