BLtTFFTON, OHIO through the business section and it’s a bit discouraging to count the steadily lessening number of shopping days before Christmas— not yet having started to make out our gift list and here comes December 7—remember that was Pearl Harbor day—and how the world has changed in the past nine years and more trouble for a war weary world, bringing with it the realization that it may be easier to win a war than to win a lasting peace. That big November snow coming so unexpectedly, caught a lot of motorists on the road. Among them School Superintendent and Mrs. Murray, enroute home from Phila delphia where they spent Thanks giving with their daughter, were marooned in a small Pennsylvania town for several days, along with a lot of other travelers. One of the most frustrated of the stranded group was a motorist re turning from Florida who was with in eight miles of home.

Two former Bluffton girls now in Edinburgh, Scotland, had Ohio turkey for their Thanksgiving day dinner when Barbara Hauenstein Tod and her husband entertained Marjory Moser Kling and her hus band for the traditional American feast day. Chief item on the menu was turk ey canned by a food processing con cern in Sugar Creek, Ohio, and sent to Mrs. Tod by her mother, Mrs. Sidney Homer Mosers Hauenstein. Kling is the daughter of the Mosers and a niece of Ezra north of Bluffton. Her hus Mrs. band, Jack, is studying at the ological seminary in Edinburgh. Something new has been added to Bluffton’s holiday events—success of window shopping night last Friday exceeded expectations of even the most optimistic. Despite overcast skies and slush covered roads and streets, crowds milled through the business section peering in lighted windows looking for prize winning numbers. Many of the sightseers looked in vain for the number on the gift in the window of Hankish’s confection ery—looking right past it which was painted in big white figures on the show window. Also seen were late comers around midnight peering into the then darkened windows with the aid of flashlights.
