September bowing off the stage ...
and here comes October—the name
signifying eight—being the eighth
month of the year on the old Roman
calendar—but things have speeded
up a lot since that time and we’ve
streamlined the calendar, like every
thing else and given two extra
months a priority—bet the old Ro
mans never heard of priority either
so now October is the ten month
and farmers busy this week
sowing wheat—and corn pickers run
ning from early until late—and that
corn crop is going to be the king pin
for a summer of bumper crops and
farmers are pondering now where
to store it fact is there has been
an abundance of everything this year
except apples they say hickory
nuts will be scarce this fall—squir
rels forehanded as usual are storing
beechnuts—that’s better than we did
when we didn’t get our coal in last
summer and speaking of get
ting things done, if you don’t get
your driver’s license by Thursday
night, better stay home until you do
because there’s usually a spot check
just about this time and foot
ball enthusiasm kindled by the Pi
rates’ win at Ada Friday night...

and Burcky’s Beavers showed up well
at Harmon field Saturday night
not forgetting the television crowd
who saw Neil Schmidt’s sparkling
performance with the Purdue eleven
at the Notre Dame game Saturday
afternoon Schmidt is the sec
ond Bluffton athlete who is making
good in the big time—there’s Bob
Burkholder, Ohio State first string
basketball guard who has won his
letter for two years and will be
out again for play this season.
P. C. Luginbuhl, Richland town
ship native, back from a summer
trip to Europe. He came down from
his home in Lakewood, a Cleveland
suburb to visit his brother Sam
south of town and other relatives
and friends over the week end. His
hobby is photography and incidental
ly he brought with him some very
fine pictures of scenic spots which
he visited. A sobering thot however,
is the prevalent impression through
out Europe that another war is im
minent. Significant of this tension
is the fact that work of restoring
pictures and other obpects of art
removed from galleries during the
last war for safe keeping, has been
stopped in France and England, he
said.
Don’t incur the wrath of a woman
—and that’s what has happened in
Bluffton. Women who have swept
fly ash off their porches and window
sills until patience ceases to be a
virtue are signing petitions to the
town council for action to require
•industrial plants here to eliminate
the smoke and fly ash nuisance.
Just in case you’re interested to
know how much fly ash accumulates
over night, there’s a plate of it ex
hibited in the New window. This
was swept from a South Main street
porch Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock
after the porch had been swept
clean Monday afternoon at 5 o’clock.
THE BLUFFTON NEWS. BLUFFTON. OHIO
OF TH*
Overheard the other day A
stranger dropped into the shoe re
pair shop of “Doc” (Elmer) Lud
wig with the inquiry “Do you have
a brother whose name is Elmer?”
“No I haven’t,” came the reply from
Doc, unpreturbed as ever, “but my
brother Frank has.”
This huge tomato crop has swelled
the treasuries of a number of
churches in the Pandora area. Ans
wering the emergency call of the
canneries for help, a number of
women responded and contributed
their earnings to their respective
churches.
Carl Gable, Bluffton painter is
having more than his share of ex
periences with wild animals—yes, we
said wild. Several weeks ago he was
stung by some angry wasps whose
domain he had invaded while paint
ing a house. Monday morning the
tables were turned and Carl found a
skunk had invaded his premises on
South Jackson street. The skunk
seemed in no hurry to leave and
Carl, while he would have been
happy to have the visitor move else
where, wasn’t employing any drastic
measures.
With polio at the epidemic stage
in nearby areas, Bluffton’s record of
only one case within the corpora
tion limits is particularly outstand
ing. Why this is. no one can defi
nitely say because as yet science has
not learned how the disease is
spread. However, the opinion has
been expressed here that possibly
spraying of Big and Little Riley
creeks may have been a factor in the
town’s apparent immunity.
Reports from health authorities
that polio virus has been found in
sewage would point to the possibility
that flies and mosquitoes may have
something to do with the spread of
the disease. On this theory, a num­
We see only wires! But at this very moment a woman in San
Francisco may be speaking to her husband in Shanghai ... a boy
at Princeton may be inviting a girl in Albuquerque to a football
game and Mrs. Green of R. D. No. 1 may be placing her order
with Mr. Brown of the Crossroads Store.
Here—where sixty wires cling to the cross-arms of a weathered
pole—the ends of the earth meet!
It’s like that irr our local churches on Communion Sunday.
Whether fifty or five hundred receive the Holy Sacrament the
ends of the earth meet. For the Lord’s Supper is not a rite of one
church or one denomination. It is the common sacramental feast
of millions of Christians all over the world.
Are you availing yourself of this blessed privilege, and are you
attending your church regularly? As you receive this Sacrament
in your church, your life is linked to the lives of Christians every
where. And you and they are united in a common communion
with God!
ber of Northwestern Ohio municipal
ities have resorted to aerial DDT
spraying.
Bluffton which has sprayed creeks
here every summer for a number of
years has been unusually free of
flies and mosquitoes this summer.
Work was in charge of W. A. Howe,
former mayor, and the town may
well attribute its immunity to the
polio scourge as an unexpected ben
efit from the spraying program.
Streams here were treated regularly
with an oil spray with DDT added.
Don’t crowd, girls—the line forms
on the right, and here’s your op
portunity for romance with plenty of
glamor. But to get back to the be
ginning of our story—town clerk
Chas. Emans found in his mail the
other day a letter from two British
airmen seeking to correspond with
two girls here. They said they se
lected Bluffton as a typically Amer
ican town.
Now Charlie Emans isn’t going to
play any favorites in this inter
national game of hearts so he asked
this column to broadcast the good
news which gives a fair field to all
and special advantage to none.
The airmen describe themselves as
just out of college and now serving
in the Royal Air Force. They are:
4031015 AC. K. Amos and 4030939
AC. W. Anderson. Address of each
is: Hut X25, A squadron 2 Wing,
2 Radio School, R. A. F. Station,
Yatesbury, N. Caine, Wiltshire,
England.
So there is is girls—from now on
it’s up to you—and may the best
gals win.
