Quaker and Mennonite service
groups.
In AIR RAID SHELTER
There was little evidence of war
activity in that part of France, Miss
Ramseyer pointed out. Once in
Marseilles, however, she was forced
to stay in an air raid shelter for
two and one-half hours What little
bombing that did take place was
largely of nuisance nature rather
than real destruction.
After talking with many Fresh
men, the Bluffton woman was con-
vinced that the majority of the peo-
pie are behind Marshal Henri Petain,
head of the present French regime,
AFFECTION FOR u. S.
There is genuine affection in the
country for America and the people
hope that somehow the Americans
will be able to get food ships thru
the blockade. This is the program
urged by former President Herbert
Hoover.
There is enough food in France al
the present, but if none comes in
from the outside there will be a gen.
eral famine in the country in less
than a year.
TRIPLETT REPRESENTATIVE
While in Barcelona, Spain, Miss
Ramseyer stopped in at the office OF
Emanuel Caragol, the Triplett COM
pany's Spanish representative. Car
agol will be remembered in this COM
munity where he was employed at
the Triplett Co. during the Spanish
civil war. Caragol pointed out to
Miss Ramseyer that business has
been good despite war conditions.
Miss Ramseyer urges continued
support of the refugee cause and
pointed out that if people in this
country could only see the gratitude
resulting from the camp efforts
many more dollars would be given
to the cause.

Question OF More Winter Will Be
Decided By Grounding Next Sunday

This lodge, the oldest of its kind
in the country, is comprised of sub
stantial business men. Membership
is granted by invitation only.
On the second of every February,
it is the duty of the prophets and
patriarchs of the lodge to go to the
fields and keep watch beside Ground
hog holes until noon. The day is
rounded out by banquet in the
evening.
AT this banquet the prophets make
their reports, following which the
group adjourns for another year.
Many well-known Americans are
honorary members of the club, in
cluding Lowell Thomas, President
Roosevelt and many others. A Hin
du potentate, also member, has do
mated a small costly Oriental rug on
which the Grand Patriarch of the
lodge stands during each annual
meeting.

What weather Bluffton can expect
for the remainder of the winter will
be determined next Sunday when the
Grounding, weather prognosticator
by tradition, pokes his nose from his
burrow and surveys the skies for a
sign of the sun.
Custom DEGREES that if Mr..
Grounding sees his shadow, six more
weeks of winter weather are in store
for the district. If he fails to see
it the remainder of the winter will
be mild.
Americas traditional Groundhog
Day is said to have originated in the
Dutch section of Pennsylvania, but
today it is nationally accepted.
The Pennsylvania Dutch, however
still have something exclusive in con-
nection with the day. On every
February 2, the Ground Hog lodge
of Quarryville, Pa, holds its annual
meeting.
