While we never exactly could be
called superstitious, we nevertheless
feel inclined to concede that finding
64 four leaf clovers should properly
be considered an omen of good luck.
Joyce Nonnamaker, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Shirley Nonnamaker, of
North Spring street, has found ex-
actly that number.
They didn't find ghosts exactly but
they did find calendar bearing the
date of 1925 and an old wooden
pitch fork at the haunted house on
the Bentley road. Joe and Marvin
Bronson and Harold Kohl biked out
to the old abandoned dwelling Satur-
day and in rummaging through the
debris found these evidences of
'e''ion' 4.

Exchange Rate of S1.S0 for 81
Is Favorable to American
Dollar

Spanish language and customs
which predominant in Colombia,
South America, are described in a
letter received this week from Mrs.
Leonard Cupples, formerly Miss
Waunetta Bronson, who with her
husband and son arrived at Carta-
gena, Colombia, on Sunday, October
5, after a sea voyage from New
York of about ten days.
Mrs. Cupples, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Bronson of Bluffton,
graduated from Bluffton High school
in the class of 1888. Her husband
is employed in a Colombian oil field
in the interior of the country by the
Andian National Corporation, Ltd.
He is working as a diesel engineer
operator under a two-year contract.
SPANISH INFLUENCES
Most of the homes in the country
show evidence of Spanish influences
with the architecture of that coun-
try predominant. Many of the
homes do not use window glass but
rather fancy iron grilling at the
openings.
The city of Cartagena is one of
the oldest in South America and
dates back to the period when there
was much activity by pirates. There
is still a great stone wall around the
city with many fortresses, under
ground tunnels and dungeons. The
roads are very narrow, the letter
stated.
The floors of the houses are made
of tile and the Cupples are finding
them to be very hard on their eight
months old son William Lee who, as
all infants do, occasionally falls out
of bed.
SPANISH LANGUAGE
Mr.. and Mrs. Cupples are exper-
fencing difficulty in not being able
to speak the Spanish language. AT
breakfast in a hotel in Cartagena
the waiter was unable to understand
English and were it not for a SYM
pathetic patron nearby who was able
to understand both languages they
would have gone hungry.
The exchange rate is very favor
able to the American dollar with
$1.80 being returned for every
American dollar. Mr.. and Mrs. Cup
Piles packed several cases of con-
densed milk only to find that the
American brands were available at
the company commissary.

Most homegrown Ohio feeds do
not supply sufficient protein for
beef cattle being fattened. A pro-
tein supplement is needed through
out the feeding period and may vary
in amount from one to two pounds a
day. A limited amount through the
whole feeding period is better than
the same number of total pounds fed
only in the latter part.
