The calendar and the weather teamed up to give Bluffton real sum mer the first of the week—or a reasonable facsimile thereof the calendar avers that we’re on the threshold of the merry month of May—but the thermometer went on a binge Monday up to 90 degrees— probably a record for April trees leafed out overnight, cherry and peach trees in full bloom and apple blossoms coming soon ... a crowd in bathing suits at the Buck eye Sunday afternoon with some of the more venturesome taking the first plunge of the season and Ed Conaway, maestro at the Sohio filling station down street Monday afternoon exhibiting the first grass hopper of the season—venturesome soul have that and Dixie highway with traffic Sunday rem midsummer and candidates busy buttonholing the voters—you’ve prob ably forgotten that this is the week of the glad handshake—and it’ll con tinue as a non-stop performance un til after next Tuesday’s primary funny how the boys are all too busy to get out of the courthouse until just before election—but maybe bet ter that way than not at all good thing we have wise the politician their way around the county and unless we went over to Lima and looked them up we might never get a chance to see who is holding office elections are the privilege of a democracy which reserves the right to run them in any way it chooses— to the accompaniment of hillbilly bands as they do in Texas or lam basting the King of England as Big Bill Thompson used to do in Chicago anyway elections are great in stitutions and we’re for them in spite of all their faults just remember that it’s your privilege and duty to vote at the primary next Tuesday after all, we can’t elect better men in November than we nominate in May—all of which recalls that the late Jack Hardy used to remind the boys that all good Democrats and Republicans will vote early and often. and some of the gardeners planted sweet corn—wonder if means roasting ears in July thronged Everyone knows it takes chicken three weeks to hatch—but how long for ducks, turkeys and geese? We asked a dozen non-poultrymen picked at random the other day and only two knew all the answers. Ducks require three and one-half weeks and turkys and geese four weeks. These spring days see a lot of the boys out after mushrooms—albeit with only fair success. Mushrooms, like gold, are where you find them— and apparently the season thus far hasn’t been too favorable.

Box Bluffton, Ohio Support Will Be Appreciated RE-ELECT WILLIAM RAY THE BLUFFTON NEWS, BLUFFTON, OHIO Kent State university warns that mushrooms are dynamite unless care is used to determine the poison ones from the safe varieties. Dr. Her rick, biologist and mushroom expert, criticized recent magazine articles on selection of safe mushrooms. Most of the articles, he said emphasize the simplicity rather than the “over whelming danger” of picking your own mushrooms. He says there is no reason why people cannot enjoy mushrooms safely “if they just don’t follow the advice of too many pseu do-experts” on their selection. The boys at Koontz’s filling sta tion at College and Main received this week two shirts together with honorable mention in the Sinclair trade journal as an award for spick and span restrooms and general neat ness of their station.

Congratulate —other in at to fleeted wanted the Bluff ■ited a top •ger prize rne nd It The barbershop is a place to get your hair cut. But it wasn’t always that way—shaving used to be equal ly important. Back around the turn of the century customers, for the most part were shaved once a week —usually on Saturday—and old timers still recall rows of gleaming white mugs, belonging to the shop’s regular trade with the patron’s name in shining gilt letters and re served for his individual use. Tine McGriff’s shop had a lot of them and so did Soapy Swerleins—not to mention a half-dozen others. But there's been a lot of water go under the bridge since that time. Shaves, which fifty years ago pro vided a big volume of business have all but dropped out of the picture since the coming of the safety razor. One Bluffton barber told us the other day that he shaves an average of one or two customers a week. On the other hand, increase in haircuts has taken up the slack and barbers are busy as ever. Instead of the oldtimer who let his hair grow all winter, men nowadays have hair cuts regularly and some have stand ing appointments for a trim at stat ed intervals with their barber.

We’re re ferring to the pathway through the Presbyterian chufch yard which suc cessive generations have used as a convenient short-cut between Cherry and North Main streets, bypassing the longer distance to the intersec tion on the square. Being on private property the path cannot have the status of a public street and for that reason municipal funds may not be used in its maintenance. Upkeep has been provided by the church and successive applications of fine crush ed stone over a period of years have resulted in a hard water-resistant surface generally satisfactory in all kinds of weather.
