Balmy Weather Wednesday Reminiscent
Of Spring Wedding Day so Years Ago

Reminiscent of their wedding so
years ago, the icy wintry blasts lift
ed almost as by magic bringing a
warm and beautiful spring day for
the Golden Wedding anniversary Gel
ebration of Mr.. and Mrs. John Blk
Ter, residing four and one-half miles
northwest of Bluffton, Wednesday.
When the couple was married so
years ago Wednesday the honey bees
were out and the dandelions were
booming. With old man weather
flirting between the zero and freez-
ing marks last week, the prediction
was made that the anniversary date
would be greeted with freezing tenn
peratures.
Almost as if trying to show that
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1941-02-13

so memorable an occasion could be
greeted again with balrny weather,
the mercury started to rise Tuesday
with very fair and sunny day at
hand Wednesday.
Several people have reported see
ing robins as well as dandelions. 1t
remains to be seen whether the
weather will change again as it did
so years ago. Only a week after
the wedding the weather turned cold
enough to provide snow and ice for
good sleighing activity.
The warm weather enabled many
relatives and friends to visit the
couple and extend congratulations.
Open house was held Wednesday
afternoon preceded by a family din
ner at noon.

School Vocational Electricity Class
To Re-Wire Grade School Building
Nine Boys Under Direction of
Instructor to Undertake
Project
Re-wiring Necessary Due to In
creased Load of Added
Equipment

Complete re-wiring of the grade
school building on Jackson street will
be effected in the near future as a
class project to be undertaken by the
Bluffton High school class in voca-

The project was approved by the

wiring will cost about $400, accord
ing to estimates made at the meet
ing.
Re-wiring was made necessary be-
cause of increased current consump-
ton in the building which has caused
the present lines to be overloaded
The building was wired about 25
years ago with the result that the
present wiring is outmoded and in
adequate, it was reported to the
board by Sigg after survey of the
situation.
CLASS IS EXPERIENCED
Members of the class have already
had considerable experience and
training in the installation of cleo
trical equipment and wiring in the
present high school building and
in the stadium, Sigg reported.
In the grade school building the
boys will get experience in pipe
bending, installation of service and
feeder wires, the distribution OF
cabinets and other activities neces-
sary in project of that nature.
The work viii be done during the
regular shop periods and will not in
terfere with the classroom work
which is devoted to discussions and
general electrical theory, Sigg stated
The present program in vocationa
electricity devotes equal time te
theory and practical application.
Members of the class undertaking
the project are: Eugene Newlan
Don Clark, William McEafferty
Francis Marquart, James Martin
Robert Watkins, Clyde Fisher, Geralc
