Lh $ discovered us on the 13th—that would have been a bad start to say the least and it’s Fire Prevention, week which is a pointed reminder that it’s high time to get things shipshape for winter and the high school band looking good at Friday night football games down on Har mon field—makes us wish we were back in high school tooting a horn. Altho it was nearly 50 years since he left the teaching profession, tri butes to his memory from many of his former school pupils and gradu ates were significant in the passing of B. F. Biery, publisher of the Bluffton News. The bond between teacher and pupil which remained over a half-century was always with him a pleasant memory and char acteristic of the old school of educa tion. One of his most prized momentos was the large picture of all the classes in the Bluffton schools taken in 1897 when he was superintendent. The picture has hung for many years on the wall opposite his desk in the News office. He brought with him into the pub lishing business many of the ideals of the teaching profession and was one of the last of the group of men who were active in Bluffton civic and business affairs at the turn of the century when the town experi enced its first notable growth. Those were tne days when Bluffton college opened its doors and sparked by unexpected income from the oil boom, business expended and Bluff ton began to enjoy some of the lux urious and comforts unknown to the earlier generation telephones and electric lights and a city water sys tem made their appearance and there was the infant cream separator in dustry fast outgrowing its swaddling clothes also not forgotten were the nV A&P' s wonderful new Jane Parker Bread will make you say, “1 never knew bread could taste so good." We've added extra sugar for more energy... more delicious flavor. We’ve added extra milk for finer texture. .We’ve added extra shortening for crisper crusts richer, better eating every way. A&P’s master pastry chefs—the same pastry experts who bake the famous line of Jane cultural aspects and the lyceum lec ture and music course was introduced and underwritten by this group of civic minded men who were interested in bringing the better things of life and living to the community. Boys will be boys and what you heard about an hour after midnight Monday was recorded music coming from the amplifying system in the College tower which some prankish collegians may have intended for a lullaby. How-ever, instead of soothing, it aroused some light sleepers who apparently couldn’t see the humor in the affair. All of which reminds us of an observation made by President Stevenson of Oberlin last spring in a similar situation that “We can usual ly expect these things about the time the sap starts to run.” The frost evidently didn’t catch all of the corn before maturity. Two ears of fine popcorn grown by Grover Devier are attracting much attention in the Bluffton News window. Grover has a really fine patch of popcorn this year. John Garlinger has a sportsman’s code of his own which a lot of other hunters might well adopt. John went out during the squirrel season, just past, and brought down 15 of them —just enough to provide meat .for his table needs, instead of trying for a record kill and resultant waste of food. Also John didn’t go out on Sat urday—he said that day should be left for the fellows who worked and couldn’t get out on the other days of the week. Sounds to us like a pretty practical and workable pro gram for any sportsman. Well, well, it’s all kinds of hitch hikers one sees on the highway now adays—and the latest was none other THE BREAD THAT’S BAKED BY PASTRY CHEFS THE BLUFFTON NEWS.
