Mainly
PeAAonal
June—bustin’ out all over—with
brides and roses and graduates
packing away their diplomas and
starting out hopefully to hunt jobs
in this wacky old world newly
weds, past or future, out house

they can build their own nests...

burg San Juan hill Bel
leau Wood Tarawa and the
myriad of other spots enshrined by
memory of those who t-ere gave
their last full measure of devotion
those wraiths of soldiery
marching unseen with the Memorial
day procession—ragged continentals
of Valley Forge—the boys who ans
wered Lincoln’s call in ’61
those of ’98 when “Remember the
Maine” was a rallying cry and Dew
ey became overnight a nation’s idol
and the boys of a first World
war who marched to the cadence of
“Over There” and a later World
conflict when Pearl Harbor was
grimly significant.
More spring beauty in Bluffton—
those flowering crab trees—three es
pecially beautiful this spring—at
College and Lawn avenues—two at
Rev. Oppermann’s and one on the
other corner at Sidney Stettler’s.
Times change—not so many years
ago we heard of two chickens in
every pot—well nowadays there are
at least two eggs in every nest—if
not more. The veritable flood of
eggs has got dealers on the anxious
seat as they eye storage space con
stantly getting smaller—maybe it’s
the invigorating spring weather that
has set hens on an egg-laying spree
—anyway they suggest you eat an
extra egg for breakfast
When Winifred “Peggy” Joyce
Bauman was graduated at high
school commencement exercises last
Thursday night she completed a per
fect attendance record for her 12
years in school, never having missed
a day. She attended Bluffton schools
since the sever th grade. Her par
ents are Mr. and Mrs. Laurel Bau

There was a long distance tele
phone call from Bluffton to DeLand,
Florida, last Friday night when the
Bluffton high school class of 1910
held their 40th reunion at the home
of Mrs. Edwin Niswander north of
town following the alumni dinner.
Mrs.. Eunah Temple Holden, a
member of the class living in Flor
ida, unable to attend, sent greetings
via long distance phone. Of ten
members of the class, seven at the
reunion were Mrs. Harry Hostetler,

They did their work well—those
early Bluffton bricklayers and the
American House on North Main
street stands as a memorial to their
craftsmanship.
Built more than a century’ ago, the
construction is still basically sound
and the structure w’hich was Bluff
ton’s first hotel, built more than a
century ago will remain standing,
although it is to be remodeled as a
garage and automobile salesroom.
A frame addition at the north end
will be torn down by E. S. Miller,
local automobile dealer, who recently
purchased the place. Too bad the
identity of the builder has been for
gotten—what better monument could
one leave than a piece of finished
workmanship serving daily a useful
purpose for a hundred years after
his departure.
Bluffton college this week mark
ing 50 years since its founding—the
institution—and the world, too, have
come a long way since that Novem
ber day back in 1900 when it open
ed its doors with faith and hope as
its principal resources together with
the indomitable courage of its first
president who foresaw great things
in the future.
Those were days when we hailed
the 20th century when, like in Kan
sas City “things had gone about as
fur as they could go.”
But in those days households had
no running water—it was carried
from the well and heated in the big
“reservoir” on the kitchen stove ...
the new “city waterworks” furnish
ed direct current every night from
dusk until midnight for swanky folks
who had electric lights—there was
no day current" because no one need
ed lights in the daytime and there
wasn’t an electric motor in town
nobody needed current after
midnight because folks went to bed
at reasonable hours instead of stay
ing up all night for radio and tele
vision programs which didn’t exist
and there were no automobiles
—or filling stations—or tractors ...
crude oil was refined to get kerosene
—gasoline, a useless by-product was
dumped into the creek there
was no electric refrigeration ... or
ERE’S where you come into
your own.
For this roomy six-passenger
Sedanet is the lowest-priced family
model Buick and the easiest to buy.
