OHIO I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I observed in the churches of Bluffton on Sunday morning, it is announced here. This celebration is in conjunc tion with the Federal Council of Churches, which organizec the occa sion in this country, and the World Council of Churches, which does so for the rest of the world. This is one time in the year when these co operating churches have Communion the same day. The churches in each country will have their services when it comes their time for worship. The day starts at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean. •At the 11 o’clock church hour in Wellington, New Zealand, we are eating our Saturday night supper in Bluffton. When it is time for the sendee in Tokyo, Bluffton is full of Saturday night shoppers and pleas ure seekers. When worshippers gather in Chun king, China, our shops are closing 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. Number of Fires On Increase In Town And Country, Chief Corson Declares Fire Equipment Best In Town History, But Cooperation Needed From Residents With the number of fires on the increase in both town and country, the need of scientific fire protection in the home becomes more important Ithan ever, Fire Chief Guy Corson declared Wednesday in announcing the opening of National Fire Preven i tion Week next Sunday. During the season when furnaces land heating stoves are put into late I I I I fall use there often is a greater danger of fire damage than in mid- winter, unless the householder is careful to check all possible fire hazards in advance, the Bluffton fire chief pointed out. Altho Bluffton is in a better posi Ition to fight fires than ever before I in history, much of the responsibility in reducing fire losses rests with adequate fire prevention measures by leach individual home owner, he I declared. I I Good Fire Fighting Equipment Bluffton Churches To Participate In World-Wide Communion Sunday be World W’ide Communion wil College Eleven Drops Hard-Fought 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 serviceable hose, nearly all of which is two and one-half-inch size. I Members of the fire department 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 for careful compounding A. Hauenstein & Son The (krner Drug Store RELIABLE* 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. include Chief Corson, H. E.
