Each year thousands of young people leave home to take jobs in other cities. As result, there may be many adjustments to make. In choosing the place to live, new friends, and new recreations, an ear might be kept to the ground too for places where balanced meals may be secured economically.

Fit for an epicure yet so econonli- cal that they will help you balance the food budget are crosscut shankS of beef. If you haven't tried cooking them, you have a surprise as well As a treat in store.
 Shanks are among the less tender cuts of beef, but slow cooking in moist heat softens the muscle fibers and makes them tender as well as delicious. For braising, the first cut of the foreshank is usually chosen. Beef shanks are often chosen for soup meat and they are good for this purpose because they are rich tn flavor.

Maybe you didn't know it, but to
be a school bus driver nowadays one
has to know the rudiments of first
aid-in fact it is required that the
driver pass a test given by the Red
Cross. And that's why Bluffton
schools are looking for substitute bus
drivers. All of the regular drivers
have qualified by passing the test
but the problem of substitute drivers
is tough one to solve, especially
now with manpower becoming less
plentiful.

Defense Requirements May Slow
Auto Servicing For Civilians

In other instances shortages are
apparent in the replacement supply
of copper tubing as used for gaso-
line and hydraulic brake lines. Also
hard to get are aluminium pistons,
valves, gaskets and anti-freeze So
lutions.
At the same time the need for re-
placement parts is growing greater
because of curtailed production of
new cars, meaning that old models
are being used longer than custom
airy in the past.
Another complication is tre-
mendous volume of parts being pur-
chased by the army for the main
tenance of its huge fleets of trucks,
autos and other motor carriers.

Use of automobiles and trucks in
the Bluffton area may lose some of
its customary utility in the fore
coming months because of the effect
of defense demands and raw mater
ial shortages on the automobile re-
placement parts industry.

Just the opposite in temperament
from his famous nakesake, Joe Louis,
the black pet cat belonging to Anna
McGinnis, II year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Delbert McGinnis of
Garau street, is quite a pal to the
other cats in the neighborhood. On
most intimate terms is he with the
cat named Mickey belonging to
neighbors, DR.. and Mrs. B. w.
Travis, living across the street. The
two cats play together by the hour.
The four bantam chickens, two
hens and two roosters, belonging to
James Harmon of South Lawn ave-

his pets says he doesn't feel any
remorse about killing them for eat
ing. He says it's a case of liking
to eat chickens better than liking to
take care of them.
Have you ever noticed the large
number of barns in Bluffton? You
can look down almost any alley in
town and practically every house has
a barn built on the rear of the lot.
Most of them have been made over
to accommodate automobiles but
some still have the original horse
stalls and hay managers.
Practically every house had to
have accommodations for old Dobbin
but in the first decade at the turn
of the century he began to give
way to the horseless carriage. BY
the time the second decade rolled
around Dobbin became virtually ex-
tinct as far as town transportation
was concerned.
Then it was that residents of
Bluffton began to tear out the man
gers and stalls, put in cement floors
and attach sliding garage doors to
the barns. Whether it is a matter
of sentiment or of utility it is not
known, but the fact remains that
very few of the barns have been
torn down.

says that it doesn't pay very well
but that she enjoys doing it.

and Mrs. Harley Augsburger of
Lawn avenue, is tackling the prob
lem of the high cost of living with
vengeance. He has raised a num-
Der of chicks into potentially high
egg producing hens and with eggs
retailing at around 10 cents dozen
this will constitute a real savings
for his family. And too, once in a
while when the family gets hungry
for chicken they can go out in the
back yard, WELD an axe and the
first step towards a luscious chicken
dinner is under way.
Paul Steiner, son of Rev. and Mrs.
Eli Steiner of South Jackson street,

process.

A letter received this week by
Mrs. Waldo Huber from a brother in
Mobile, Alabama, stated that the
mosquitoes there were so bad that
the chickens had to be locked up at
night as a protection against the
insect pest. If left out at night the
chickens would be so severely bitten
they were dead by morning. Mebbe
they need the Bob Oyer technique
down there in Mobile.

James West who is soldering

says it is mighty fine to be so
handsomely remembered by voters
of Bluffton-and a rockies salute TO
every one of 'em.

Lima Mission Marks
35th AnniUersaru

Observance of the 35th annivers-
ary of the founding of the Lima
Rescue Mission was made this week,
under the direction of the homes
superintendent, Rev. A. d. Welty,
Bluffton native and former resident
here.
Rev. Welty, nearly 81 years of
age, became interested in mission
work 35 years ago and guided the
activities of the institution during
the entire period.
The mission has been at its pres
ent location for the past % years
and was constructed at a cost of
100000. The first mission home
was on North street where it oper-
ated for about seven years. The
present building, on Wayne street,
was completed in 1919.
The superintendent reported that
the debts of the institution at the
present time amount to $9,732. Of
the original seven trustees, Rev.
Welty is the only one living. The
mission was Incorporated in 1914.
When the mission was first start
ed it had but so cents in its treas
ury, Rev. Welty pointed out. Money
furnished by citizens in this district
keeps the organization running and
pays off old debts. Each year the
mission is given vegetables and other
gifts by Bluffton area farmers.
In the last 35 years the mission
has given meals to 596,705 persons
and continues to administer to the
needs of the INDECENT, Rev. Welty
stated.

 To LeaUe Waterbury

Rabbi Maurice Zlgmond of Temple Israel Synagogue has been appointed Director of the C0nnec- ticut branch of the Hillel Founda- ton of the national organization, B'nai B'rlth, 1t was learned this morning.
 The appointment, effective within the next few weeks, places Rabbi Zlgrnond In charge of Jew ish student activities throughout this state, with headquarters Ut Yale University, from which point he will direct the program of the organization.
 "PrlmarlIy," said Rabbi Zig mond, "the new setup includes all Jewish student activity In this state, but actually we will be mostly concerned with students at Yale and the University of Connecticut"
 Asked if his new duties mean he may retire from Waterbury as rabbi of Temple Israel, Dr. Zig mond stated that his new position would not interfere with his work In this city. It will mean he will move Co New Haven, but here he pointed out that he lived In New Haven for four years while cons ductlng the local congregation.
 Last week Rabbi Moses ID. Sheinkopf of Beth Israel Syna- goguc announced his appointment as head of five Synag0gues In Springfield, Mass, effective some time in July.
 It was also rumored today that
