COTTON ANO CO»N PLANTERS
Surprising what a combination of
the calendar and a little sunshine
will do—here is March one-third
gone and the sun getting high
enough now to put on a reasonable
facsimile of spring farmers
with plowing under way and early
oats will be sowed in the Bluffton
area this week not to mention
gardeners who have been stirring
around for the past week—there’s
Rev. Robert Welch one of Bluffton’s
better gardeners who has a sizable
plot already for planting at his
home on South Lawn avenue
next comes St. Patrick’s day when
some of the oldtimers who know
their almanacs say is time to plant
sweet peas and next Tuesday
is the deadline for mailing your in
come tax return that means it’s
the middle of March and not long
until April most of the Bluffton
crowd home from Florida—the Will
Steiners arrived the other day—
just in time to say goodbye to the
Albert Depplers who are leaving
Thursday for a month at St. Peters
burg and the spring hunting
season—Leap Week at Bluffton col
lege, March 18-20 when it’s open
season for coeds to go out and get
their man—good luck and may the
best gal win.
It looked to us like Bluffton peo
ple were superstitious—we said so
last week, when most of them
wouldn’t walk under a ladder on
the Main street business section ...
but Bluffton motorists who line up
down at Dick Tray’s place for their
new tags don’t bat an eyelash when
they get a number ending in the
traditionally unlucky 13. Since the
lowest serial numbers start at 51,
there can’t be just a plain 13—but
113 or 213 are all 0. K.
Some there are, who want special
numbers—tags identical with their
house or telephone number—and we
overheard one fellow who was going

OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS
THE BLUFFTON NEWS- BLUFFTON. OHIO
to ask for 711—shades of gallop
ing dominoes.
A former Bluffton woman—the
only one which appears in “Who’s
Who,” celebrated her 86th birthday
anniversary, Wednesday. She is Dr.
Helen Barnes now of Findlay. She
was a member of Bluffton high
school’s first graduating class—1881
—when her father was one of the
early Methodist ministers here.
For many years international sec
retary of the Y. W C. A., her
duties carried her to far-off corners
of the world. Six years ago on her
birthday she invited to her home
everyone in Findlay with a birthday
in March and organized them into
a group known as the “Marchers.”
Her 86 years rest lightly on her and
she still maintains a keen interest
in people, world events and com
munity affairs.
And speaking of March celebri
ties, there’s Andrew Jadkson “Old
Hickory,” the seventh president and
hero and idol of the frontier folk
back in the days when northwestern
Ohio was being rough-hewn from the
wilderness. His birthday comes
next Tuesday—and that of one of
his namesakes Andrew Jackson
“Jack” Fisher is one day earlier—
next Monday.
While Bluffton district was en
joying one of the mildest winters in
recent years, it was an entirely dif
ferent story out in Dunseith, North
Dakota, where Robert Stratton and
his wife are teaching in an Indian
school. Mail trains snowed in—or
out—for five days made postal serv
ice a bit irregular with snow aver
aging over four feet deep. The old
timers out there say that’s a lot of
snow, even for North Dakota. How
ever, they don’t think the weather
was unusually cold since the temper
ature registered only 35 degrees be
low zero on several occasions.
On the other side of the picture is
Rarold Carey of the Bluffton airport,
recently back from a flight to Flor
ida where he enjoyed deepsea fish
ing and brought back some of his
catch as evidence of his prowess as
an angler. Carey who made the trip
as pilot for a Lima sportsman is
leaving again soon, this time pilot
ing a pl^ne with three Lima men
who will snatch a brief airborne va
cation on the Florida coast.
Sport followers are wishing best
of luck to Hugh Frost, the colored
boy, one of the mainstays of the
Bluffton college football team. Frost,
a sophomore, has returned to his
home in Youngstown to recuperate
from a kidney injury sustained dur
ing the season last fall. Because
of his injury he was unable to par
ticipate in basketbail, giving up the
varsity post which he held down last
year| Hard hitting, but with cour
eous good nature and winning smile
that made friends of his opponents
and won him a big following among
the fans, many there are who are
hoping for his speedy recovery.
And speaking of Bluffton college
sports, the close of the basketball
season marks the breaking up of the
Three R’s combination which started
11 years ago when Roger Howe,
Russ and Rich Gratz were candi
dates for the high school basket
ball team back in 1938. For four
years the trio worked together,
taking Bluffton’ into district and
state competition.
After graduating in 1942 from
high schools they mixed in indus
trial league basketball for a time
until called for military service.
Back home, the trio entered Bluffton
cojjege in the fall of 1946 where
they won berths on the starting
five which they held for the past
three years Next season will find
Rich and Russ back on the court
with Rog in the bleachers—he grad
uates this spring.
It was just a bit of old-time Bluff
ton transplated down in Charleston,
West Virginia, when the men’s
chorus of the Colgate-Rochester Di
vinity School of Rochester, N. Y.»
appeared in Charleston’s Baptist
Temple a couple of weeks ago. Di
recting the chorus was G. A. “Dad”
Lehman and in the audience was
none other than A. C. “Arch” Grif
fith and the latter’s sister, Mrs.
Lena Griffith Fenimore—all of whom
were in Bluffton college back in the
early days when the old Lowell Lit
erary society was the principal so
cial and extra curricular activity of
the student body.
