NATIONAL FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
October 3rd to 9th
Bluffton citizais, individually, pay for every fire in
Bluffton through increased rates in fire insurance policies
and through the Iqss in time, investments, materials and
effort caused by firt.
Every resident »f Bluffton should do his or her part
part in curbing this\ needless cost by taking all proper
precautions against nre.
Insurance—no matter how complete—can never fully
restore the loss caused by fire heirlooms, keepsakes,
remembrances—things1, that cannot be measured in terms
of money these on\:e destroyed can never be replaced.
A moment of carelessness ... a cigarette in the waste
basket ... a short circuit may imperil the Lives, of
members of your family and sweep away the investment
of a lifetime.
Learn the importance of your part during National
Fire Prevention Week in stopping this needless toll of life
and property.

on Sunday morning, it is announced
here. This celebration is in conjunc

Churches, which organizec the occa

one time in the year when these co
operating churches have Communion

The churches in each country will
have their services when it comes

Putting on one of their best
home performances in many a sea
son, Bluffton college gridders held
the advantage most of the game
against Wilmington here last Satur
day night, but finally weakened in
the last period to let the Quakers
go home with an 18 to 12 victory.
It was Bluffton that scored first
in the tilt with a first-period touch
down but Wilmington came back to
tie up the score just before the half
time intermission.
Then after Wilmington had tal
lied in the third period, the Beavers
uncorked a magnificent rally to knot
the count in the same quarter. The
score remained tied until the waning
minutes of the game when a last
ditch passing attack paid off with
victory for the visitors.
Gleason sparked the first-quarter
Bluffton drive which carried the
Beavers deep into Wilmington terri
tory and then heaved a 25 yard
pass to Frost who went Hie remain
ing 10 yards to score. The attempt
ed conversion was blocked.

18-12 Decision To Wilmington Here
Bluffton has two first-class fire
trucks, one especially adapted for
rural fire fighting, an advantage that
has resulted in contracts with Orange
and Richland township trustees to
provide fire protection service on an
annual fee basis.
The department has 1,800 feet of

LITTLE ILLS
MAKLvvs'-
True, that ‘’little illness”
you’ve been mentioning in
an offhand way, may not
seem to amount to much—
just a few faint symptoms.
But, neglected, these “little
ills” can lead to big bills for
doctors, medicines, etc not
to mention needless suffering
and loss of precious time.
Consult a Doctor now—
you’ll save by it in the end
And, of course, we hope you’ll
bring his prescription to us

up. And by the time it gets to Cal
cutta, Bluffton is mostly tucked in
bed. Moscow, Cairo and Capetown,
Berlin and Rome, have had their
turn before the earliest Bluffton
riser stirs on Sunday morning.
The people in London are in
church when the dawn breaks here.
Iceland and Rio de Janeiro have had
their services before Blufftonites
leave their homes dressed in their
“go-to-meeting” clothes. Then comes
Bluffton’s turn, when the various
churches of the community will par
ticipate in this sacrament, each in
its own way.
Even after we are through, others
are still going to church. While we
relax in the middle of Sunday after
noon the churches of San Francisco
will be ringing their bells for the
service. And the cycle is complete
at our supper time when Honolulu
is celebrating this occasion.
The local churches expect one of
the biggest attendances of the year
for the occasion.
Bluffton clung to the six-point lead
until playing time in the first half
had almost run out. It was then
that a line plunge over the payoff
stripe gave Wilmington the tying
score. In the third period, the
Quakers tallied again, this time on
a pass, but the Beavers went to
work in earnest to uncork a drive
of their own that paid dividends.
After penetrating deep into enemy
territory, a penalty against Wilming
ton carried the Beavers to the one
yard line, and from that point Glea
son rammed around end for the
score.
Increased Vigilance By Home Owners
Urged In Fire Prevention Week Drive
At the end of the game, Wilming
ton’s desperation passing attack fin
ally paid off with the third touch
down and the victory.
In evening play, the visitors had
11 first downs, while Bluffton was
racking up eight. The Quakers com
pleted nine of 20 passes and the
Beavers six of 21. However, the
Bluffton team’s average pass gain
was 16.3 yards, in comparison with
a 13.6 average for the visitors.
