Olson Shifts
Backs Around
PIC Mentor Mokes
Chongss for CPS

Like q master circus performer.
Coach Cliff Olson juggled his back
field Tuesday as Pacific Lutheran
Gladiators settled down to heavy
work for their big Kiwanis charity
game with College Of Puget Sound
Loggers at the stadium Saturday
night.
Olson looked over his backfeld
material and made these switches
without batting an eye:
Stan Fries WAS moved into
No. I quarterback reserve
spot, right behind Tommy
Lumsden, frcckie-faced sopho-
more, who may not be able TO
start against the Loggers.
Frank Spear. who had been
the No. I quarterback re-
serve. was shifted 20 No. I
reserve for MARY Tomersik NJ
left half.
Jack Bratlie was made the
No. 2 reserve quarterback with
a chance that the freshman
might beat out the more er-
perienced Fries.
Tommy Hosisins figured In
the picture several ways. He
was used ut quarterback and
also ut right halfback where
he may sub for either ster
Hartman or Stan Gretb.
Only position which Olson didn't
do any juggling was at fullback
where Mary Harshman holds the
fort. Observers at Tuesdays prac-
tice session felt that Olson wasn't
putting his heart into finding q
better man than the big 200-pound-
er on his squad.
On the line the Lutheran mentor
Indicated that George Failstrom
had played such . good game
against st. Martins that he would
probably get the starting call over
Hugo Swanson at right tackle.
Stan Whitehead is being given
a furious battle for the center posi-
ton by Don D'Andrea. 24o-pound
Kapowsin freshman. but in Tues
days session Whitehead still
seemed to have the edge.
Tuesdays session was devoted
mostly to offensive work.

Harmoniously blending with the

used in the inscription for the let

Bronze, an alloy dating from re-

in that it reflects light, has a rich
golden brown color and is non-cor-

has other ingredients which if found
are usually accidental. 1t is capable
of being worked by casting, pro-

Laying of the cornerstone for
Buttons new $4,000 post office last
July FL will long be remembered by
local residents as one of the most
impressive public events in the his
tory of the town.
Witnessed by a crowd of more
than $500 persons, the cornerstone
was put in place with ceremonies
prescribed in the ancient ritual of
the Masonic order, exemplified in
work of the Bluffton lodge.
With white-plumbed Knights Temp
lar, khaki-clad National Guardsmen
and the Bluffton High school band
in white heading an impressive pa
rade, the cornerstone laying was a
colorful affair. Legionnaires wore
jaunty overseas caps, there were
Lions club members in red coats and
Masonic Blue Lorge members in
white aprons were headed by officers
bearing the age-old symbols of their
order.
Sealed in the cornerstone of the
building was copper box containing
many items pertaining to the occa-
sion and relating to Bluffton in the
year 1910.
Appearing on the program in
speaking roles were Mayor w. A.

Poor relief accounted for the
largest single expenditure by the
Allen county board of commissioners

Post Office Dedication Increases
Interest In Stamp Collection

Awakened interest in stamp col
lecting in increasing amounts has
been evidenced here as a result of
the dedication of Buttons new $780,
900 post office last Wednesday, ac-
cording to local postal officials.
Although it is the privilege of a
collector to assemble and arrange his
stamps any way he cares to, it is
we'll to understand that a lot of
stamps jumbled together in box is
not collection of stamps.
When anyone interested in stamps
says a collection of stamps" he
means any number of stamps, wheth-
er few or a great many, arranged
in an orderly manner in an album
or some other kind of holder. Us
ually what is meant is one stamp of
kind and the stamp should be the
cleanest and most perfect specimen
to be had.
Soiled or damaged stamps are
called "space filters" and while they
are sometimes placed in albums it is
only because better specimen is
not obtainable for the moment.
The easiest way to start collection
is to buy a packet of "all different"
stamps of all the world. The all
different packets can be had in al
most any size. There are packets of
all different stamps containing one
thousand stamps that can be had for
about dollar. This is large enough
for the younger collector as too
many stamps all at once are liable
to be confusing.
If the collector is bit older there
are packets Of two thousand stamps
for four dollars, three thousand for
eight dollars and four thousand for
less than thirteen dollars. These
prices are subject to change, bu.
they represent the approximate price
one would have to pay to any re-
liable dealer.
All these packets now contain a
large number of unused foreign

Ray w. Barnett, a Republican,
elected county treasurer, will take
office in September, succeeding By
ron Dershem.
Paul T. Lands was elected to a
full term as county prosecutor, and
began the term last week. He had
been appointed to fill the unexpired
term of Congressman Robert F.
Jones.
w. F. Failor, a Republican, start
ed his third term as county record
er; and L. Fl. Myers, Republican,
will again serve as representative to
the general assembly Judge Phil M.
Crow, elected to his sixth term on
the Third District Court of Appeals,

stamps, but while they are pretty
because they have no cancellation
marks to mar them, the stamp col
lector treasures cancelled stamps
equally. Formerly collectors did not
care for uncancelled stamps because
they were so often counterfeits. In
recent years, however, so many coun.
tries have issued stamps of very low
denomination that unused stamps car
be included in even cheap packets.
Many collectors like to specialize
in certain types of stamps, like
animal" stamps. These are stamps
with pictures of wild animals or birds
as the principal feature of the de-
sign. These usually are kept separ-
ate from the general collection even
though they include stamps from
many parts of the world.
Another way to keep a continued
interest in stamps is to specialize in
some one country. Almost any coun-
try will do. A packet of az stamps,
for example, from Iceland can be
had for about a dollar and this will
enable him to fill good proportion
of the pages in his album on Iceland.
An album is an absolute necessity
for any stamp collector Local col
lectors point out that the Modern
Album" is generally considered the
best standard album for the begin
ner. 1t has spaces for more than
$4,000 stamps, with 5000 illustra-
tions of stamps.
In addition to the album the start
ing collector should have stamp
hinges, a perforation gauge, a small
magnifying glass, and other tools of
stamp collecting. Without hinges the
stamps cannot be put in the album
properly.
1t is comparatively easy to get
started in this fascinating hobby and
the local post office is constantly Sc
curing commemorative stamps and
special issues and is always ready
to give help to collectors.
