Mid-August—another hot spell fol
lowing close on the heels of humid
July’s heat albeit there are
plenty of homegrown roasting ears
and tomatoes—muskmelons, too, in
the offing—to take one’s mind off
the weather it’s been a good
summer, even for amateur garden
ers like this scrivener—no burning
drought or disastrous floods and
fairly well spaced rainfall has kept
Riley creek flowing which means
that Bluffton’s sewage situation
hasn’t been up for its perennial
airing—however, that won’t mean
anything if the state health board
starts shooting at us—general im
pression down at Columbus is that
we have gotten away with this sit
uation too long, so don’t be sur
prised if a crackdown comes
despite all this, Bluffton has been
singularly free from polio—one
case last week is the first to be re
ported here this summer this

Bluffton made whoopee last Friday

who came down town early Friday
morning to open his store before
the crowd got here didn’t have time
to get his breakfast until mid
afternoon.
The small-fry up at Myron Mot

fast thinking Monday evening when
little Kay, aged 2 toppled into a
watering trough in the barnyard.
With no one else around, brother
Jimmy 4 and sister Pauline, 5, who
were playing with her, swung into
action. As she slipped and fell in
the trough, Jimmy grabbed her hand
and Pauline seized her foot and with
a mighty heave-ho they swung her
out of the trough to safety—looks
as if this might be a good place
for a couple of lifesaving medals.

here will regret to learn that Mrs.
Steiner’s health has been failing.
Mrs. J. A. Westrick, the former
Maxine Amstutz, is a Bluffton wo
man who not only knows her re
cipes for tasty dishes, but cashes
in on them. Within the last six
weeks she has won three prizes in
local area competition for choice re
cipes for potato salad, dried beef
sandwich filling and a sweet potato
casserole dish. Now she’s going out
after bigger game and entering na
tional contests—good luck to you,
Maxine.
In view of the present sewer situ
ation there has been a lot of in
quiry as to just how far the state
can go in forcing the issue. The
best opinion we’ve heard was put
in layman's language a number of
years ago when the lates James J.
Weadock, Sr., was city solicitor
here. According to his opinion the
state cannot force Bluffton to put
in a sewer system—but it can pre
vent the town from polluting the
creeks—which would mean that it
can plug all sewer outlets which
pollute the streams. “And if the
state comes along and plugs those
outlets you had better not open
them,” he added. In response to the
query of a council member “What
could we do with our sewage?” the
solicitor replied “That’s your prob
lem.” Which would appear that if
it comes to a showdown the state
has the power, indirectly, to force a
sewer system here unless the town
can figure out another way of dis
posing of sanitary wastes.

A Bluffton party, E.

Patterson, back from a fishing trip
to Elephant lake in Ontario, some
500 miles north of Bluffton visited
one of the big lumber mills fitted up
with latest modern labor-saving
equipment and geared for large
scale production. Logs, cut during
the winter are floated down the
river to the lake where they are
caught by a dam to await sawing.
Cutting of timber in the winter and
operating sawmills in the summer
provide employment for a sizable
portion of Canada’s lumber indus
