November bowing out in a reas
uiahle facsimile of Indian summer—
after the temperature dropped down
to 14 degrees last week—and here
comes December—that noise you
heard was off-stage sound effect of
jingle bells remember Christ
mas is in the offing—cards to send
stockings to fdl and the
Christmas tree and lights
not forgetting all the ties and socks
that change hands with the custom
ary greetings and mysterious
packages not to be opened until
Christmas retail stores running
in high gear loudspeakers blar
ing forth “Silent Night’’ amid clang
ing cash registers clerks bored
and tired confused shoppers
trying to make their budget cover
the gift list kiddies impatient
to see Santa Claus with reindeer
and sleigh that somehow seem to
get around without the benefit of
snow ... good thing that Santa can
travel in all kinds of weather
and this is a good time to remember
that there’s nothing more out of
date than a Christmas card that ar
rives after Christmas—better mail
them early congratulations to
some Biuffton residents who will
observe birthdays this week—Mrs. M.
M. Kibler, 83, and Mrs. N. W. Cun
ningham, 89, on Wednesday—and on
Saturday will be the 84th for Mrs.
Etta Biery and 91st for Aaron Geig
er out South Main street way.
That flock of 41 mallard ducks
that nested at the waterworks quar
ry will furnish the main item for
the third annual Sportsmen’s club
dinner on Thursday night of next
week. They are all dressed and
frozen awaiting the zero hour when
they will be served with all the
trimmings.
The mallards increased from a
few wild ducks which originally
made their home here and became
domesticated several years ago. As
the flock grew and became more ac
customed to civilization they made
expeditions from the confines of
their quarters at the quarry and
made forays into gardens and gar
bage pails throughout the neighbor
hood to the dismay of gardeners
and housewives.
The mallards were proteges of the
Sportsmen’s club and were fed ra
tions of corn furnished by the club
with Edgar Root, club president, in
charge of the feeding program.
Although it wasn’t entered in the
International Livestock show at Chi
cago last week, Albert Geiger, out on
Cherry street has a sleek cross-bred

doubtedly would have made a credit-

able showing.
At 18 months the animal weighs
1,450 pounds, some 200 to 300
pounds more than the average of
prizewinning stock.
Geiger who is conducting a bal
anced mineral feeding experiment, is
well pleased with results and says
that the mineral content in the feed
ing program definitely produces a
superior quality of milk. He says
there is evidence to support a theory
that susceptibility to polio infection
in humans may be due to a mineral
deficiency in diet.
Mrs. George Kenny, 72-year-old
Peru, Indiana, woman who received
minor injuries in an automobile ac
cident south of Bluffton on the Lin
coln highway last I riday, comes
from the Wallaces of the Hagenbeck
and Wallace circus and still has a
fondness for animals. Removed by
Basinger ambulance to her home in
Indiana, she was greeted on her ar
rival by three huge angora cats,
special pets of hers, she explained.
This column seems to be running
to animals this week—so here’s an
other that didn't turn out too well
—that young bull belonging to Olney
Daft northeast of Ada, killed by a
hunter’s gun.
The animal which Daft purchased
six weeks before, was found dead
in a pasture with a bullet in its
head. Daft who said he never had
refused a hunter permission to go on
his land may post his farm against
trespassing next fall.
Mrs. Velma (Morehead) Cornwell
of Findlay, former Bluffton resident
got a thrill when she read in these
notes about Bluffton’s big Thanks
giving dance 72 years ago. Luke
Myers, one of the fiddlers who fur
nished music for the affair was her
uncle.
In these days of turmoil and
change, there’s a refreshing element
of stability out in the Swiss Set­
Ythe
OU see it quick-stepping along
highway—and you can’t
miss the parallel.
You glimpse a bold front end —sleek
tapering fenders —flaring, stream
lined roof lines —even to ’’double
bubble” taillights, here is the look
of ’’the fastest thing that flies.”
Then you try one on the road, couf’
tesy of your Buick dealer.
Adjectives flock into mind—’’agile”
"nimble” "eager.”
lou realize that here is action, swift
and easy —action born of Fireball
valve-in-head straight-eight power
action floated on soft coil springs
that, for all their lightness, keep
your grip on the road sure-footed
and firm.
This you tell yourself, is traveling as
traveling should be.
Comfortable —in the spacious man
ner of king-size interiors. Easy —in
the lightness of controls, which can
include even the magic of Dynaflow

Mam street
tlement where farms cleared by the
original pioneers remain in the same
family through succeeding genera
tions.
A case in point is the Elmer Dil
ler place north of the old Beechtree
school on the road to Pandora. It
was more than a century ago—in
the spring of 1835—that Mary Dil
ler, a widow, native of Alsace,
France, with her two sons John, 23,
and Peter, 21, came by oxcart from
Holmes county, a distance of ICO
miles, taking three weeks to make
the journey.
They cleared the land and built a
log cabin a couple of miles north of
Michael Neuensch wander, the first
settler,wh o arrived two years ear
lier.
John was married in December of
that year to Elizabeth Zimmerly of
Holmes county and the couple went
to housekeeping on the home farm
here which has been handed down to
their grandson Elmer Diller, present
occupant.
The other son, Peter, who married
Barbara Suter, cleared a place one
and one-half miles southeast which
has since remained in the family and
is now the Menno Schumacher farm,
Mrs. Schumacher being a grand
daugter.
Mother Diller’s grave is in the old
Mennonite cemetery near the Mullet
bridge where sleep many of the
early settlers.

LOOKS like a Jet Wane
TRAVELS the same way
Drive* if you wish. Pleasurable in
the wide, wide outlook that’s yours,
and the inner satisfaction of having a
Buick for your very own.
And we might add another thing,
just by way of being practical.
It’s frugal too. Frugal in a first cost
that’s actually less than for some
sixes. Frugal in the surprising way
such a sizable car gives the go-by
to gas pumps.
And if you have Dynaflow, frugal
even in many upkeep costs you can
forget about such as
clutch troubles, trans
mission maintenance,
even many engine
servicing costs.
