and fishermen are ready
to take all of the available supply at

Besides fishing a number of in
land lakes the Bluffton party also
threw a hook and line in Lake
Michigan. Edinger’s catch included
8 large bass, 5 of which measured
more than 2 feet in length, also a
2-foot pike. His son Bob hooked 5
catfish averaging two pounds.
Summer travelogues—
Two Bluffton cousins, Barbara
Jean Triplett and Eleanor Linden on
a motor trip to California seeing
sights enroute and stopping in Den
ver to pick another cousin, Lois Rich
of Washington, Ill., who has been
summering in Colorado. They’ll return
the last of the month in time for
Barbara Jean to take up her duties
as music instructor in the Galion
schools, Eleanor to return to Wooster
college and Lois to Bluffton college.
And the Edgar Chamberlains home
from a two month’s motor trip thru
the west. and the Arthur Amstutzs
back from an outing at Atlantic city
—they drove west earlier in the sum
mer and the Wilford Steiners
leaving Saturday on an extended trip
thru the New England states and on
into Canada to Quebec and, Nova
Scotia and the Dr. Gordon Pixels
also vacationing in Canada.
And Theresa Slusser of the high
school faculty, Sylvia Biedennan hos
pital superintendent and Clara Schu
macher. of the Meter works are leav
ing early Sunday morning on a motor
trip to New York and thru the New
England states and Adirondacks.
Addison Myers and Theodore Bau
man, Bluffton high school seniors
saw the midwest the hitchhike way,
going to Newton, Kansas where they
attended the Mennonite World con
ference the first of the week.
And the Howard Stauffers home
from a week’s vacation motoring thru
the Smokies and Theodore Kohli
and Roger Bell seeing sights in West
Virginia via bus and Supt. of
Schools Lanham and family on a
two weeks’ trip visiting relatives in
Virginia and Ohio.
Warning—the coon that is raiding
Ed Reichenbach’s patch of sweet corn
nightly better keep a wary eye out
for trouble, specially this week on
Friday the 13th which may be un
lucky for coons, too. Postmaster Ed
is irked and he’s keeping a sharp
lookout on that field of roasting ears
as well as polishing up his shootin’
iron. They say the coon has developed
a voracious appetite for sweet com
and feasts on an average of a dozen
ears every night.
A venerable Pandora couple, Mr.
and Mi's. P. P. Welty are marking
their birthdays this month. Mr. Welty
was 85 on August 2 and his wife will
be 82, August 20.

Lora Jean and M. M. Murray attend

■over the business from his father,
Fred Trippiehorn, who in 1900
received it from M. M. “Dode” Mur

Dode, 80, was the oldest man at
the picnic, Sunday, started driving
a tank wagon for the Standard back
in 1886 when there was only a mud
road between Bluffton and Pandora
and swung up thru Mt. Cory and
Rawson, making a big route for his
two-horse team which in those days
pinch-hit for the big semi-jobs you
now see on the Dixie. That was the
time when coal oil, the fastest mov

of electric lights—and it sold for
around 8 cents a gallon and no
one had much use for gasoline ex
cept a few who had the new fangled
gasoline kitchen stoves and bought
the fuel—top grade high test gas,
mind you for 9 cents—that’s right
9 cents a gallon and torch oil—
that the drillers used for light at
night when they “ran tower” in the
oil field on a round the clock schedule,
sold for four and one-half cents a gal

In speaking of California fruit and
vegetables, speak favorably—or you
may find a crate of them on your
doorstep some morning just to prove
you’re wrong. That’s what happened
the other day when a generous size
shipment of quality grade arrived
at the Bluffton News office with com
pliments of the Chamber of Commerce
of Van Nuys, Calif., which merits our
profound thanks—and the even more
profound thanks of our boss when he
learned the $7 express charge was
prepaid.

carrots, squash and the like—labeled
it to the publisher of the Bluffton

And a small box of oranges also
went along just to prove they still
