Thanksgiving—an American holi
day as American as apple pie and
hot dogs it’s been something
distinctive and different ever since
the old Pilgrim fathers shouldered
whatever they used for Winchesters
and started America’s first hunting
season we’ve come a long way
since that time—perhaps receiving
more than we deserve—when the big
question to be decided is whether it
will be turkey or chicken or maylie

be thankful for despite all our post

whose birthday falls on Thanksgiv

he moved so far south on Main

start with high school and college
basketball squads swinging into ac

two nights a week on high school
and college gym floors and
Christmas shopping started with re
tail shops featuring gift suggestions
and displays and they say that
there will be loud speaker broad
casts of Christmas carols in the
business section later in the holiday
season—all of which reminds us that
it’s high time to start that early
Christmas shopping we’ve been plan
ning—fact is one of our New Year’s
resolutions was to do Christmas
shopping early.
Hey, there, Diogenes—we’ve found
the honest man you’ve been looking
for all these years—he is a Bluffton
sport fan and former athlete who
found five high school season basket
ball tickets which someone had drop
ped on the sidewalk and he turned
them in at the school office.
Bobby Lamb, 10-year-old son of
Clyde Lamb, Ohio Northern football
coach who is as much a favorite
with the Bluffton college Beavers as
he is with his father’s Polar Bear
squad, is in Lima Memorial hos
pital with an attack of virus pneu
monia. Because of his illness which
was developing at the time, Bobby
couldn’t attend the Bluffton-Ohio
Northern football game at Lima
where arrangements had been made
for him to sit on the Northern bench
for one half of the game and the
game and the Bluffton bench for
the other half. A cheering get-well
quick letter was mailed to Bobby,
Monday, signed by all the members
of the Bluffton varsity squad.
Congratulations to the Peter Geig

and the D. C. Bixels who have been
married well over fifty years and
celebrating the occasion soon.
Over in Deshler the conductor of
a Baltimore & Ohio freight was
fined in the mayor’s court when he
pleaded guilty to a charge of block
ing a crossing there more than five
minutes. They say that a similar
incident at a Nickel Plate crossing
in Bluffton was reported to the
sheriff’s office recently.

ward a new’ parsonage resulted in
the building and dedication last Sun
day of a new residence for Rev. Rob
ert Turner and his family. Rev.
Turner is pastor of the Riley Creek
Baptist church in Orange township.
The first $500 was matched by
three others and a sum of $4,500
was raised in two weeks by the
membership and a subsequent can
vass brought the total to $7,500.
The seven-room house was started
in July and only $550 was spent for
carpentry work, the members volun
teering to do the bulk of construc

trical work. At one time 17 parish
ioners were on the job.
Bluffton is no stranger to Rose
Maarie Tremp, member of the Tremp
trio, Swiss yodlers and instrumental
ists who will be heard at the high
school auditorium here Saturday
night. Fact is, she knows quite a
bit about the town in a commercial
way, since she holds a responsible
position with the A&P company
in Toledo which is headquarters for
the Bluffton A & store. To see
her during the day at her desk one
would scarcely suspect this young
woman w’as a seasoned performer
on the concert stage at night.
However, she together with her
father Martin and brother Bill re
cently returned from a month’s tour
through the west where they were
greeted with large audiences. She
sings, yodels, plays the bass fiddle,
accordion and clarinet her brother
plays three instruments and her
father yodels and plays an accord
ion. The family, living in Toledo,
plan to make a trip to Switzerland
