 Finish; Haida Wins from
 Bears in Overtime Period

It was announced this morning that the High School has with drawn in favor of the Petersburg aggregation instead of playing them in elimination this after noon.
 The High School has played four games in as many days, and if they won this afternoon and played again tonight, six games in five days would be likely to result in damaged health to still growing youths who have turned in fine brand of basketball but who show the strain of their schedule.
 Instead of at four o'clock this afternoon, Ketchikan played Sitka at 3 o'clock, the winners to play Petersburg at 7:30 o'clock tonight.
 Krauses will battle it out with Haida at 8:30 o'clock for the tournament crown.

Bombarding Clouds

In 1891 congress appropriated
$4,000 for experiments in produc-
ing rain artificially. Most of the
experiments were conducted in
Texas under the direction of Gen.
Robert Dyrenforth, as special
agent of the department of agri-
culture. Dynamite and hydrogen
oxygen-flled balloons made the
noise, and little rain did fall, but
according to meteorologists this
was only that which was due to
fall in the regular and undisturbed
course of the weather.

Recently there was published a
phonetic translation of sounds in
different languages, and the cats
miaou was one sound which each
of these languages interpreted in
the same way. 1t is strange that
the word "cat" is so similar in
various languages.
In Scandinavia the animal is
called ''katt," in France "chat,"
in Germany 'katze," in Holland
Scat" in Italy "gatto," in Spain,
"gato," in Russia ''kats," and in
Poland 'kot." And the Romans
had word for it-"catus."

Spring Salads for
Spring Tonics

Time was when we needed sui
phur and molasses, or its equiva-
lent, as a spring tonic to repair the
damages of winter diet which was
quite likely to be lacking in fresh
fruit and vegetables. Nowadays
spring tonics are unnecessary nui-
sances, for most of us, because even
through the long winter months, a
plentiful supply of fruits and vege-
tables is available.
But somehow this season creates
an appetite for something right out

Salads look so cool and inviting,
and properly prepared they do such
a lot toward perking up ones appe-
tite. But they must be inviting to

seasoned.

Simple salads, in general, are the
smartest-and if they're to serve
their purpose as spring tonics,
they're the best. Salads which are
too rich, too deliberately garnished,
or decked out with whipped cream,
defeat their own purpose, and have
a feeling that it's one reason most
men dislike salads, because too
often they've had served to them in
the name of salad, some queer,
sticky concoction, with so many in
gradients, SO badly mangled, and so
much garnish, that there's scarcely
a salad green to be seen or recog-
nized. Men do like good salads,
though, and you'll find recipes for
the kind they enjoy, in my booklet,

if your family doesn't approve of
garlic.

Peace Club Plans
Spring Activities

The Peace Action Club of Bluffton
college has formulated plans for ac-
tivities during the remainder of the
school year.
At a meeting held on Feb. % at
6:30 in the morning final plans were
drawn up for interviewing the COM
munity. A questionable of issues re-
lating to world problems and personal
attitudes is being used to find out the
the community opinions.
A photography of peace books is
being collected with special emphasis
on conscientious objection for the be-
ginning of a peace libary. Deputa-
ton groups for nearby churches are
being planned. Tentative activities for
spring vacation are being considered.
The group may present peace play
throughout the East as was done in
the West last year. Bertram Smuck-
er and Richard Weaver are going to
Chicago to discuss with the Rev. Carl
Lands the possibility of working in
the mission house as a part of the
constituent peace program and also
procedure in organizing the spring
peace play.

Plan Mosquito
Campaign Here
Continued from page u

AT the start of the campaign the
mosquito program likely will be tied
in with the villages customary spring
cleanup day, it was indicated at the
council meeting.
Combining the two programs will
bring cleanup day about a month earl
ier than usual this spring, the mayor
said.
Eliminate Rubbish
Holding cleanup day at an earlier
date will bring about the elimination
of piles of tin cans and other rubbish
in which water may collect and there
by provide possible breeding places
for mosquitoes.
To effectively control the pests,
Lewandowski said it is necessary
every possible breeding place be elm
mated, and for best results full CO.
operation of. every Bluffton resident
would be required thruout the entire
summer. b'3ifaa ts@
At the opening of the drive, resi-
dents may be requested to spray
around their premises in addition to
cleaning up rubbish, and the council,
working with civic groups, win plan
treatment of Big and Little Riley
creeks and other breeding places.
Continue Program
After initial activity in the cam
paign, the council and other groups
will collaborate in continuing the con-
troll activities during the summer.
Regular treatment of creeks, the city
dump and other places will be requir-
ed, and owners of homes and other
buildings also must cooperate to make
the drive successful.
There have been some suggestions
that the town convert the old fire
truck, now used as ladder and hose
wagon, into a portable spray outfit,
but no definite action has been taken
on the matter.
In his talk here last week, Lenan-
dowkski, recognized as one of the
country's mosquito control specialists,
declared that an inexpensive, yet ef-
fective, cleanup can be effected here
if every section of the town cooper
ates in the campaign.
He presented an analysis of the To-
cal control problem, and suggested
the forms of treatment which would
be required.

Kenneth Zuercher
Is HOldup Victim,

Kenneth Zuercher, former Bluffton
resident, now serving as night at
tendant at gasoline filling station
at North and Union streets in Lima,
was held up and robbed by an un-
identified colored man early last Sun
day morning.
Zuercher is the son of Noah Zuer-
cher, of South Main street. He left
here to work and live in Lima a
year ago.
The bandit entered the station
about 2:20 A. M. Sunday. After
going into the lavatory he came out
with his hand in his pocket, ordered
Zuercher to throw up his hands and
fed with $25 in loot.
