YOU’VE GOT TO DRIVE IT TO BELIEVE ITI Y otTve driven cars with
good response. You probably know of engines that are smooth
quiet... economical. But you can’t knowhow Futuramic in perform
ance an engine can be—until you drive 4 "Rocket” Engine Oldsmo
bile! It’s an entirely new kind of motoring experience—because the
"Rocket” is an entirely new kind of engine!

and Panels Too.
In fact, most everything we do.
So don’t come out ’cause it won’t suit
HIGH-COMPRESSION IS ONLY HALF THE STORY! It’s true that the
"Rocket” has a high compression raqo 7J4 to 1, in fact. But
that's not all. To eliminate noise and vibration,Oldsmobile engineers
designed a completely new engine that gives you this high-compression
dividend of spectacular action ... with even greater smoothness and
quietness than before.

FIRST OF THE ENGINES OF THE FUTURE! The Oldsmobile "Rocket”
begins a new era of Futuramic po^er. It takes the fullest advan
tage of present-day fuels. It squeezes more performance from every
drop of gasoline. It establishes a lepd that other engines will follow
in the future.
TRY—-‘‘THE NEW THRILL”! Your best test of the "Rocket” will come
when you feel that smooth, gathering surge of power yourself. We
urge vou to see your dealer soon 1. to try this "air-borne sensation”
in either the luxurious Oldsmobile "98,” or the spectacular new Olds
mobile "88”—the lowest-priced "Rocket” Engine car!

Events moving fast in Bluffton
these days the post office turn
ing in an all-time record in cash
receipts for the past six months—
looks as if Bluffton might step up
to a first class office—congratula

and his staff groundbreaking
for the S2-million addition at the
Central Ohio’s generating plant—the
red-handle shiny spade wielded by
Floyd Woodcock, president of the
concern was chrome-plated for the
occasion and will be preserved as a

from slow to fast time leaving
Bluffton untouched—when it’s noon

indulged in one of their playful
moods over the week end—but there
was a goat in a crate in the win
dow of Doc Ludwig’s shoe repair
shop late Sunday night. A sign
said it belonged to George Combs—
but some folks don’t believe in
signs anyway the goat greeted
Doc with a loud ba-a-a when he
opened up the shop Monday morn
ing. Goat, crate snd all were turned
over to Dr. Gordon Bixel, optomet
rist next door, who has had a lot
of experience goatwise.
Attendance at the x-ray examina
tions in Bluffton, conducted by the
Allen County Tuberculosis mobile
unit Friday and Saturday was sur
prisingly good—especially from one
rural area where the woman who
made the preliminary canvass re
ported practically a one hundred
per cent response. She said her
method was quite simple. “When I
called at a house in my district 1
asked which is more important—your
cows or your family. We all test
cows for tuberculosis and it’s time
we’re doing as much for our fami
lies—that was a sure-fire sales talk.”
It’s just a bit of merrii England
transplanted overseas, thos inform
al get-togethers a group of British
born Bluffton and Lima re- ients en
joy every novv-and-then. There are
the Harry Shriders, Jr., of Harmon
road and the Jack Bennets and Noel
Downings of Lima. Native English
are Mrs. Shrider, Mrs. Downing and
the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Bennett.
Also frequently attending are the
Russell Stewarts of Pittsburgh—he
formerly attended Bluffton college.
Mrs. Shrider, Mrs. Downing and
Mrs. Stewart came to this country
as English war brides and the Ben
nets arrived sometime later. And
the entertainment at their gather
ings is also very English—the game
of darts, of course.
A Triplett radio tube tester made
in Bluffton came back home last Fri
day when it was won as a prize by
Bluffton High school's industrial
arts class at the Mid-West Indus
trial Arts association conference in
Bowling Green. Bluffton placed fifth
in competition with 30 high school
industrial arts classes, many from
Class-A schools.
Work of the class taught by A.
Dwight Spayth, was exhibited at the
Steinman Lumber company two
weeks ago. Students also made the
new sign of the Geiger & Diller
store on North Main street.

had a long to be remembered exper
ience last Sunday night w’hen they
talked to their daughter Doris, now
Mrs. Robert Hammon who with her
husband and little daughter were on
the liner Queen Elizabeth approach
ing New York harbor.
It was a thrill for the Garmatters
to hear the voice of their daughter
who has been in Italy for two and
one-half years and equally momen
tous to carry on the conversation by
wireless telephone—a combination of
telephone and radio. Contact with
the ship was established at stated
intervals and the rate for a three
minute conversation was slightly
over $14. The Hammans landed in
New York on Monday night and
are expected here the last of the
week.
For some reason which we’ve
never been able to figure out, spring
seems always to be the open season
or rackets and this year is no ex
ception. One of these is the old
paint racket—the stranger who of
fers a “new” type of paint with a
lot of “guarantees” too good to be
true and there's the fellow who
just “happens to be working in the
neighborhood,” who will clean out
your spouting and gutters “cheap.”
He, too, has a profitable racket.
And the chap who sells you shrub
bery—you never saw him before and
you won’t see him again when it
doesn’t grow. And the high pres
sure insulation and siding salesman
who will promise almost anything to
get your signature on the dotted
line. There’s one sure remedy to
squelch all of this talk—know with
whom you are dealing and satisfy
yourself of their integrity and abil
ity to make good their promises.
