THE BLUFFTON NEWS, BLUFFTON
Welcome summer—and if I’d known
you were coming I’d a baked a cake
—maybe two, after that cold snap
Sunday that sent the thermometer
down into the forties and smoke
coming up from chimneys and
all this after a hot spell with a
lot of humidity that had all the
earmarks of midsummer but
now, with summer officially here,
Wednesday was the longest day of
the year with nearly 15 hours of
sunlight—14 hours and 57 minutes
to be exact—ushering in that de
lightful season of ice cream, water
melon and slacks—bathing suits, va
cations, fishing trips and family re
unions wild roses blooming at
the roadside and fireflies lighting up
the countryside at dusk and the
latest in summer study is that
course at the college for budding
drum majorettes—time was when
every youngster wanted to play in
the band—but now they all seek to
strut at the head of the procession
twirling a baton—if it keeps on
there will be all drum majorettes
and no band to lead—which reminds
us of the situation in a Gilbert &
Sullivan opera of the army in which
everyone was a brightly uniformed
general and no buck privates
and mosquitoes which shouldn’t be
too bothersome •with Mayor Howe on
the business end of a spraygun pa
troling Big and Little Riley creeks
.. and speaking of mosquitoes, they
say that a wad of cotton batt on
your scoren will shoo away that
twin summer nuisance, flies—no one
seems to know just how it works,
and now the smart boys from the
department of agriculture are try
ing to find out why and the
corn crop shooting up—there’ll be
plenty of knee-high corn by the
Fourth of July despite the slow
start and wheat fence-high,
although the stand will not be as
tall as last year and peace
and quiet finally descending on Vine
street after Monday night’s council
meeting in which the Fourth of
July carnival locale was officially
returned from Vine to Church street
and after six months of weari
some debate the council finally de
cided to set the bus stop back on
Main street—well, the mills of the
gods grind slowly, but exceeding fine
—so far as we can see the wheels
of legislature grind slowly—period
and a close check by our under
cover man revealed that with the
Fourth of July less than two weeks
off, there’s not a whisker visible
anywhere in Main street.
Shooting birds which may take a
few cherries or other fruit is a
pretty short sighted policy when
you figure that if there were no
birds the damage to fruit from in
sects would be infinitely greater.
Scientists have figured out that one
dead bird may mean over six bushels
of insects still living. In other
wtmls, trirds are on the decrease and
insects on the increase—if you doubt
that, recall that when grandfathei*
had a fruit orchard there was plenty
of fruit and also plenty of birds

without spraying for insects. Right
now the insect population is grow
ing faster than science can devise
ways to destroy them—in fact one
noted authority once said that if
man is ever exterminated from this
planet it will be insects that will do
the job—so that birds which alight
in your cherry tree are probably
collecting no more than their just
due for insect patrol and they should
be treated as friends and allies—
not marauders.
Speaking of early birds—there are
the Bluffton high school sophomores
who will graduate in 1953. They
are holding a cookie sale Friday to
start a fund for the Washington
trip which they plan to take follow
ing their graduation two years
hence. Nothing like being forehand
ed—and success to them.
Insurance agents need insurance,
too—as Clarence Diller, Bluffton in
surance man learned Saturday morn
ing when his tenant Edwin Kieifer i
phoned from Pandora that their
jointly owned herd of cattle had
broken out of a pasture field dur
ing a storm the night before and
caused extensive damage to lawn
and gardens in Pandora’s north side.
Being an insurance man, Diller was
adequately protected by a farm lia
bility policy covering accidents and
losses in connection with farm oper
ation similar to automobile liability
insurance.
Disappearing from the Bluffton
scene are the last vestiges of the
American House, early North Main
street hostelry. Only brick rubble
remains now to mark one of the few
landmarks which survived since the
early days of the town.
E. S. Miller, Bluffton automobile
dealer planning to erect a modern
garage and salesroom on the site,
who earlier had thought of leaving
the original brick walls standing,
later decided to tear them down
w’hen they were deemed insecure.
Built before the earliest remem
brance of M. M. Murray, 82, Bluff
ton’s oldest native born resident, the
place is known to be over 100 years
old. Just when it was built is lost
in obscurity—only chance recollec
tions of old residents recall its
palmy days back in the enghties
and the gay nineties when it was
the center of life in pioneer Bluff
ton, a rough and ready struggling
hamlet of the early days—the locale
for politics, business deals and gay
balls ... its decline set in around
the turn of the century when it was
overshadowed by the newer uptown
Hotel Russell at a time when Bluff
ton, riding on the crest of the easy
money ail boom was fast discarding
its pioneer ways and taking on
metropolitan airs.
Speaking of going modern, Bluff
ton fishermen are doing just that—
using air transportation to get to
spots otherwise inaccessible. Latest
are Merlin Mumma, Raymond Mont
gomery and Oliver Steiner home
from a ten days’ trip to Ely Min
nesota, near the Canadian border
where they fowmd
nuyer-duper
fish
ing at Alice lake.
An isolated spot not to be
reached by auto, they flew into the
back country by seaplane then port
aged farther carrying a portable
boat. Their catch was reported
more than 100 walleyes running up
wards to four pounds.
Another party including Bob
Lewis, Kenneth Pow’ell and Charles
Hilty and son Charles, Jr., are re
ported planning a similar trip into
the Minnesota wilds the last of this
month.
And when it comes to angling
prowess, there’s Mrs. Charles Kist
ner of Pontiac, Mich., the former
Evelyn Amstutz, north of Bluffton,
daughter of Mrs. Ellen Schweitzer
and the late Philip Amstutz who hit
the headlines recently when she
hooked the largest muskie of the sea
son at Lake St. Clair, near Mt.
Clemens, Mich. The fish weighed
24 pounds, three ounces, measured 50
inches in length and 17 U inches in
girth. It was hooked on a fly rod
with dare-devil lure and landed in
a boat after a 20 minute tussle.
