places provide a colorful setting for
the observance of the Yuletide.

Lions Will Sponsor
March Of Dimes Here

sponsor the January March of
Dimes campaign to raise funds for
the war on infantile paralysis, it
was announced at a dinner meeting
of the organization Tuesday night
in the Walnut Grill.
Proceeds from the March of Dimes
campaign are used locally to help
defray the cost of treatment of
those suffering from polio. A total
of $575 was raised here last year.
Arrangements for the campaign
will be directed by the club’s health
and welfare committee, of which
Dr. B. W. Travis is chairman.
At Tuesday’s meeting, Dr. Gordon
Bixel, local optometrist, speaking on
"How To See,” declared that hu
mans must learn to see in the same
fashion that they learn other skills.
Describing work with retarded
school children, he pointed to reme
dial action in the form of glasses
and treatment which result in im
proved scholastic standing.

Two From Here
Bag Buck Deer
One of this fall’s best records in
deer hunting expeditions by Bluffton
area residents was that of Lawrence
Hosafros and Don Cuppies, who bag
ged a pair of bucks on their trip to
Michigan.
Hosafros got an eight-point buck
at 150 yards in his first 45 min
utes of hunting, and Cuppies killed
a spikehorn buck, horns under six
inches. Both deer weighed about
150 pounds.
The two local men were at the
Will Harkness lodge near Macmillan,
Michigan.
CHRISTMAS MAIL
MONDAY SETS ALL
TIME HIGH MARK
Total of 16,351 Letter Cancella
tions is* Record at Office
Here
Fewer Parcels in Holiday Mail
High Living Cost May be
Cause
Bluffton’s heaviest rush of mail in
history swamped the post office
Monday, when there were 16,351 let
ter mail stamp cancellations, a new
record 97 sacks of outgoing mail,
and 88 sacks of incoming mail.
Normal Monday morning mail
rarely reaches half the volume
handled during the day, post office
attaches reported.
A record volume of Christmas
greeting cards and first-class mail is
being handled by the Bluffton post
office this year, although parcel
post packages have dropped off
sharply from the wartime peak,
Postmaster Ed R. Reichenbach an
ndunced this week.
Fewer Parcels
Fewer packages this year and last
may be attributed to the higher cost
of living cutting into family budgets,
aggravated by the high cost of
merchandise. Another factor in the
slump of parcel post mailing is at
tributed to the fact that only a few
men are in military and naval serv
ice, as compared with the wartime
peak of parcel post mailing at the
Yuletide.
Following Monday’s flood of in
coming mail, the volume dropped
off Tuesday and Wednesday, with a
noticeable decline on the latter day.
Extra men have been employed
at the local post office to speed the
handling of holiday mail, and Post
master Reichenbach announced Tues
day night that Christmas will be
made brighter by delivering gift par
cels received here on the morning
of Christmas Day.

The world-famonus editorial by
Francis P. Church, long a news
paper classic, which first appeared
in the New York Sun fifty-one years
“Dear Editor—I am 8 years old.
“Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.
“Papa says ‘If you see it in The Sun it’s so.’
“Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?
“Virginia O’Hanlon,
115 West Ninety-fifth street.”
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They
have been affected by the skepticism of a skep
tical age. They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be which is not
comprehensible by their little minds. All minds,
Virginia, whether they be men's or children's,
are little. In this great universe of ours man is
a mere insect an ant, in his intellect, as com
pared with the boundless world about him, as
measured by the intelligence capable of grasp
ing the whole truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He
exists as certainly as love and generosity and
devotion exist, and you know that they abound
and give to your life its highest beauty and
joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if
there were no Santa Claus! It would be as
dreary as if there were no Virginias. There
would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no
romance to make tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment, except in sense and
sight. The eternal light with which childhood

Her letter and the editor’s 1'eply
follow:
fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! you might as well
not believe in fairies! v You might get your papa
to hire men to watch all the chimneys on Christ
mas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they
did not see Santa Claus coming down what
would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus
but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus.
The most real things in the World are those that
neither children or men can see. Did you ever
see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not
but that's no proof that they are not there. No
body can conceive or imagine all the wonders
there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see
what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil
covering the unseen world which not the strong
est man, nor even the united strength of all
the strongest men that ever lived, could tear
apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance,
can push aside that curtain and view and pic
y and glory beyond. Is it

he lives forever. A thousand years from now,
Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years
from now, he will continue to make glad the
heart of childhood.
TIECAUSE a Bluffton woman
in the spirit of Christmas
shared her widow's pension with
another less fortunate, the holi
days will be brighter for an in
mate of the Allen county old
peoples’ home.
It all happened in the post
office lobby the other day just
after the monthly pension checks
arrived. From a worn purse she
took a dollar bill and carefully
tucked it in the folds of a
greeting card and sealed the
envelope.
She’s not much of* a writer
and addressing the letter proved
quite a task, but there was an
unmistakable air of satisfaction
that comes with a good deed
well done as she dropped the
missive in the slot for outgoing
mail to the county home at Lima.
It was just one of those little
gleams of Christmas spirit vir
tually unnoticed amid the holi
day rush—no more important in
the sum total of things than the
traditional widow’s mite—noth
ing in the way of organized
charity or scientific relief—but
nevertheless demonstrating anew
to a skeptical world that Good
Samaritans still travel the
Jericho road.
Train Hits Auto
At Grade Crossing
Edgar Root and Forrest Mumma,
employees at the municipal electric

uninjured when the automobile in
which they were riding was struck
at the Cherry street crossing by a
fast northbound Nickel Plate mani

The accident occurred last Thurs
day afternoon shortly after 5 o’clock
as the two men were driving east
on Cherry street. Locomotive of the

fenders and trunk.
The car was almost clear of the
crossing at the time and was struck
only a glancing blow by the locomo
tive. The freight was stopped here
for twenty minutes following the
crash as the train crew checked on
details of the accident.

COUNCIL REJECTS
RAILROAD'S PLAN
TO CLOSE STREET
Nickel Plate Submits Proposal
for College Avenue Grade
Crossing
Council Disagrees with Conten
tion that Crossing is Un
necessary
Bluffton municipal councilmen
Monday night rejected a Nickel
Plate railroad proposal that College
avenue be closed at Railroad street,
to eliminate the crossing over their
tracks which has been the basis of
a controversy for more than a dec
ade with respect to the erection of
warning lights.
Division officers of the railroad,
in a check of traffic over the cross
ing last week, said they believed
there was so little vehicular and
pedestrian traffic that closing of
the street was the logical answer to
the situation.
As an alternative proposal, they
again referred to a proposition made
to the town last year, suggesting
that the village and the railroad
split on a 50-50 basis the cost of
erecting crossing flasher lights, esti
mated at more than $4,000. At that
time, council turned down the pro
posal because of a lack of municipal
funds to cooperate.
In refusing to consider closing of
College avenue to eliminate the
(crossing, councilmen pointed to heavy
traffic to points in the immediate
vicinity of the roalroad, as well as
tuse of the crossing by residents who
live in the southeast part of town.
Two industrial operations adja
cent to the roalroad are those of the
Bluffton Cement Block Co. and the
Bluffton stockyards. In addition, the
Allen County Farm Bureau oper
ates a bulk station just beyond the
tracks.
The railroad’s proposals of last
week followed a conference with road
officials in which the village admin
istration disclosed that imposing of
speed limit on trains is being con
sidered because of widespread dis
satisfaction of citizens with regard
to the crossing hazard.
Town officials said this week that
a conference with railroad officials
is being scheduled for early Janu
ary, to attempt to reach a solution
to the crossing problem.
Seven Are Hurt In
Two Area Accidents
Seven Bluffton area residents were
injured last Wednesday in two auto
mobile crashes blamed on foggy
weather and wet streets.
A heavy fog was responsible for
injuries to six persons in a headon
collision four miles west of Raw
son on County Road 51, at l:3Qa. m.
Injured occupants of the two ve
hicles, taken to Bluffton Commun
ity hospital by Merritt Green, for
treatment included:
Robert Cherry, 21, Pandora, one
of the drivers, lip and face lacera
tions Herman Hilty, 21, Pandora,
head and chest injuries Earl Mont
gomery, 26, Findlay, the other driv
er. bruises and abrasions Ralph
Waltz, 28, Mt. Cory, broken arm
and face injuries Richard Shoe
maker, 23, and Donald Welty, 23,
both of Pandora, bruises and abra
sions.
Cherry was driving north and
Montgomery was southbound, accord
ing to the report of Deputy Sheriff
Glenn Moffitt. Both cars were con
siderably damaged.
In the other crash, Richard Ar
nold, 26, of Beaverdam, suffered a
s’ight concussion and lacerations of
the scalp and right knee at 8 a. m.
when his small farm truck skidded
on the wet pavement in North Find
lay and snapped off a utility pole.
He -was taken to the Findlay hos
pital.
Merry Christmas
NUMBER 36
WHITE CHRISTMAS
IN PROSPECT AS
COLD CONTINUES
Twenty-Two White and Fifteen
Green Yuletides Here In
Past 37-Year Span
Heavy Snowfall on Sunday Pro
vides Pre-Christmas Set
ting Here
Bluffton’s prospects for a white
Christmas—perennial hope of the
holiday season—materially were
brightened by colder weather and
snowfall over the last weekend,
finally bringing an end to unseasonal
springlike temperatures which have
prevailed here since early fall.
Altho Sunday night’s three-inch
snowfall hsid disappeared with a
warm spell or Tuesdav, a continu
ance of cold Wۥather and foi'ecasts of
additional a w indicated that an
appropriate Ciristmfs set Ling can
be expected th is weekend.
For the last four preceding years,
the Bluffton area has enjoyed a
white setting for its festive Christ
mas scene, although a two-inch snow
fall last year did not arrive until
late morning.
Trend Reversed
Having snow for Christmas during
the last four years, however, appar
ently has reversed a trend establish
ed beginning in 1936 when there was
no snowfall on the Yuletide for six
consecutive years.
On the basis of weather conditions
during the last 37 years, the odds
favor a white Yuletide. Over the
span of nearly four decades there
have been 22 Christmas days with
snow and 15 green.
Heaviest snowfall of the 37-year
period was in 1916 when a roaring
blizzard brought a 12-inch blanket of
snow. In 1935 Bluffton had eight
inches, the heaviest snow in recent
years altho there were seven inches
in 1944.
Warmest In 1932
The all-time warm weather record
for Christmas here was in 1932
when the thermometer recorded a
mark of 61 degrees shortly before
noon.
Bluffton’s 37-year record of Christ
mas weather is as follows:
1911, no snow 1912, no snow
1913, trace of snow 1914, seven
