Your Weekend Lesson

Suppose you sat in the third
hand position, with the hand CIV
en- below. and thought you heard
your partner and your right-hand
opponent pass. Suppose you then
decided that South must have a
big hand, and you consequently
made a third-hand psychic bid Of
diamond to try to impede the
vulnerable opponents. Suppose
you We're then informed that your
partner had not passed, but had
hid 1-Spade in a low voice, which
you did not hear. You had as a
result made an insufficient bid,
which under the rules must be
made sufficient. What bid would
you then make, and why?

would be only a matter of a few
months before South America would

domination of the NaZis. Our
Navy gives us no protection from
this type of infiltration," he warned.
Mr.. Hartman said the popular
slogan, "All Aid Short of War" is
one to which every one glibly sub
scribeS. Il don't recall any one tes-
tifying during the last few weeks in
Congress who has not been for aid
to Britain, and yet these men di-
vide themselves into two distinct
tegories-those who would like to
aid Britain if we can do so without
risk. and those who would aid
Britain.
Il see no compromise" he said.

that could happen to this country
would be half hearted Intellectual

Hartman Suggests
Return 10 Principles
OF n. R. A. Days
Would Have Industry
Cooperate to Prevent
'SpiroIine Prices

A return to the N. r. A. days SC
that industry might cooperate to
protect itself against "spiraling
prices" in the present emergency
without fear of prosecution under
the antitrust laws was proposed
last night to an audience of traffc
experts by w. A. Hartman, rail-
road magnate and chief of the
material division in the Once oi
Production Management.
Mr., Hartman addressed nearly
1000 guests, the bluk of them rail-
road men, at the 35th annual dinner
of the Traffic Club of Washington
in the Mayflower Hotel. He con-
cluded with an appeal for "uncom-
promising" aid to Great Britain 10
prevent Hitler-dominated world.
He preceded a brief reference to
N. R. A. principles by saying that
no group in this country IS more
interested than railroad men IN the
antitrust laws and in the Splrallng
prices that threaten industry at this
time

he added, that the time has come
when we should 60 back to one OF
the things under the N. R. A. when
industry, asked by the Government,
would be allowed to cooperate in
doing certain things without fear Of
being prosecuted"
Quit Back Seat Driving"
Mr.. Hartman, who is chairman
of the board of the Union Pacific,
confessed that he had been one of
the "back-seat drivers" at the outset
of the emergency who had been crit
ical of the progress of the defense
program. When he became attached
to the o. P. M, he said, he was
too busy to continue as a back
seat driver" and his views have
changed.
He said he was surprised" at first
when the o. P. M. was placed in
the hands of two men and doubted
the wisdom of it
But I am here to testify tonight
that it was one of the most brilliant
things ever done by an American
President" he added
These two men-William S.
Knudsen and Sidney Hillman-have
different backgrounds" he said.
"One represents management and
the other labor.
You have read in the gossip
columns that there were battles in
the old Defense Commission. There
was truth in that gossip. But the
DAY that Knudsen and Hillman took
charge that battling ceased. They
are working together and their spirit
is spreading all over this country"
Mr.. Hartman declared the
Q. P. M. under this dual setup would
get the cooperation of both labor
and management "in a way this
country has never seen before"

tions Require Physicians
Certificate

With 10 grounds for divorce al
lowed by law in Ohio, this state is
one of the most liberal in the United
States on this matter, according to
Judge Raymond Smith of the juve-
nile court in Lima, who addressed
members of-the Bluffton college mar
riage course at the college chapel
Monday night.
In considering divorce it is neces-
sary to distinguish between grounds
and causes of divorce. Causes are
the actual reasons for divorce and
grounds are the legal reasons.
Ohio has established age limits
for the contracting parties in mar
riages. With consent of parents
males may marry at Is years of age
and females at is years of age. To
marry at this gre it is necessary to
have consent of both parents in writ
ing. Otherwise young people must
wait until the age of 81 to marry,

Bewildered Flock Of Wild Geese
Believed Seeking Quarry Here

A flock of wild geese which cir
cled over Bluffton shortly after mid
night, Monday, was believed to be
seeking the big National quarry
here where they frequently stop and
rest on their flights south in the
fall and back north in the spring.
The flock, apparently a large one,
awakened residents by their loud and
long continued honking as the birds
circled over the town nearly an
hour.
Investigation at the quarry Tues
day morning failed to disclose pres
ence of the birds and it is believed
that the geese, unable to locate the
quarry finally continued on their
southwark flight.
The National quarry, a 2S-acrt
body of water has been favorite
stopping place for the birds. Sew
eral years ago a large flock remained
here for almost } week to rest be
fore continuing their flight.

VOTERS To DECIDE
ON LEVY FOR new
FIRE EQUIP MENT
Auditor Estimates Average of
SO Mill Required to
Finance Project
Proposal for $4,000 Bond Issue
To Be Decided at Polls
Tuesday

Bluffton voters will make de-
cision on an $4,000 bond issue for
fire fighting equipment when tney
mark a separate ballot for the pro-
posal at the regular November
elections next Tuesday.
If approved, slightly more than
one-half mill will be added to the
average levy of Bluffton taxpayers
for a period of eight years. A ma
jority vote will be required to pass
the measure. Proceeds from the
bond issue, $4,000, would be the
maximum amount authorized the eX-
penditure for fire equipment.
Purchase of the equipment would
be in hands Of the council which
might spend less than the maximum
amount of the bond issue if it saw
it.
Figures from the office of the
Allen county auditor submitted at a
meeting of the town council indi-
Gated that an average annual levy
of SO mills for eight years will be
required to retire the proposed bond
issue.
Bonds, according to the auditors
schedule would run from 1943 to
1850 with 1000 of the principal be-
ing paid annually.
Sc Average Levy
The tax levy, it is pointed out is
the average assessment, the cost to
the taxpayer when the bond issue
had run half it's allotted period
During the first half of this time
the cost would be more than the
average and less than that figure
for the last half.
The issue to be submitted at the
polls here Tuesday has been certi
fled to the Allen county board Of
elections and that body took officia
action the first part of September t.
place the measure on the ballot.
Decision of the town council t.
submit the matter to the voters wa
made when it was found that fir
insurance underwriters are expecte'
to raise insurance rates here as ;
result of equipment that is describe'
as both inadequate and out-moded
In addition to this factor there i
the hazard occasioned when the loca
equipment is called outside the cor
poration limits should the fire trucl
be needed within the municipality.

FOR BETTER FIRE PROTECTION
An Editorial

With municipal school district and township tickets
be voted the election next Tuesday the proposal
to issue bonds for undermining Buttons irefghng
apparatus may receive the consideration which it de-
serves.
The $4,000 involved in the bond issue is modest
outlay for the fire department which safeguards two
million dollars of property Buttons tax duplicate.
In the face of rising building costs which will make
costly the replacing of fire losses the added tax levy
would appear to be cheap insurance.
The fact that Buffton has been fortunate in the
matter of fire losses should not be permitted to bring
about attitude of false security
Urgent recommendations by Fire Chief Corson that
steps be taken to modernize Buftons fire department
have resulted in the town council acting to place the issue
before the voters.
Bluffton needs modernized fire fighting equipment
the fire department deserves full of cooperation
from citizens of the town. The fire equipment bond
should pass by a large majority next Tuesday s.
