Corporal Robert West, Camp
Forest, Tenn, Home for 10
Day Furlough
Participated in 55 Day Period
Of Stimulation of War Com
bat Conditions

Although the United States army
war maneuvers are of most rigor-
Gus nature, the selectees usually well
come the war games as a relief from
the drill and routine of camp life,
according to Corporal Robert West,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Cliff West of
South Lawn avenue, who is home
on furlough from Camp Forest, Ten
nessee.
West, who is in Bluffton on a 10
day stay, will return to the camp on

HOG PRICES HOLD
FIRM IN FACE OF
HEAVY MARKETING
Top of $3.50 Quoted Here We'd
nesday as Fall Offerings
Reach Peak
Heavy Run of Hogs is Reported
At Yards; Dairy Products
Are Steady

That hog prices are holding up
we'll under a barrage Of heavy fall
marketings was the view of the
market situation here Wednesday
morning when top of $3.50 was
quoted at Brady Bros. yards.
Recession of the market from its
high mark of $11.70 a month ago
was to have been expected, accord
ing to livestock men, when the fall
run of hogs attained volume pro-
portions.
In this connection it is pointed out
that the market retrenched in order
ly fashion without any wide open
break in the price structure. Low
point in the downswing of the pres
ent market was reached when prices
stabilized at $940.
Receding prices have had little eff
feet on livestock marketings here
and hogs are being marketed in
average to heavy volume this week,
dealers stated.
Prices for dairy products which
have been consistently advancing
since late summer remained un-
changed since a week ago with but
terfat quoted at 36 cents and raw
milk commanding a price of S2.40
per hundred pounds.

COUNCIL REACHES
DECISION ON TYPE
OF SEWERS HERE
Intercepting Trunk Lines and
Primary Treatment Plant
Are Proposed
Cost is Estimated at S225, 1000;
Ask Government for
$4,000 Grant

Decision as to the type of Buttons
proposed sewer system was reached
at a meeting of the town council Mon
day night in a conference with c. S.
Kinkbeiner of the firm of Champe,
Finkbeiner and Associates, Toledo en-
gineering firm which has been in
charge of the preparation of prelim-
mary plans and estimates for the
project.
The mayor and clerk were author
lied by the council to sign an appli-
cation for aid from the federal gov
ernment in the construction of sys-
TEN of intercepting sewers and pri-
mary treatment plant, the total cost
of which is estimated at S225,000.
Application for federal aid will be
in the sum of S113,000, leaving a bal
ance of $4,000 to be financed by the
municipality by means of bonds
These figures, while approximately
correct, may me modified somewhat
when final estimates are completed,
Finkbeiner stated.
Costs Higher
In drafting plans for a proposed
sewer system, the council faced rad
ically changed situation from that of
two years ago. Not only higher
material costs but increased limite>
tions in provisions for federal ard
have placed complete sewer system
beyond reach of the present financial
resources.
The towns portion of a complete
sewer system which in 1889 would
have cost 100000 would now cost
S151, 454, Finkbeiner told the council
at appears that the handful of voters
we failed to get to support the sewer
issue two years ago has cost US S5l,-

statement.

Ocean Liners Have Personalities
AS POple Do, Lions Speaker Says
u. S. Army Inspector at Trip
lett Plant was Head Radio
Man on Manhattan
Operating Expense on Large
Ocean Liners About $4,000
Per Day

Ocean going vessels have personal
tiles every bit as much as human be-
ings, according to A. j. Croner,
United States army inspector from
the signal corps at Wright field in
Dayton, who addressed members of
the Lions club at the Walnut Grill
Tuesday night.
Croner has been engaged in in
spection work at the Triplett Elec-
trical Instrument Co. and has been
living at the Cleon Triplett residence
on South Main street, while in Bluff
ton. Croner has sailed in many
types of vessels between 1921 and
1885 and was head radio operator
on the turbine liner Manhattan, Le
viathan and other vessels.
REACT DIFFERENTLY
Even though two vessels may have
been constructed from the same blue
prints and are to all appearances
Identical, they often behave very diff
ferently and react in a manner SC
unique that a distinct personality
develops, Croner said.
Marine designers have never beer
able to calculate by mathematics
processes the exact reactions of the
boat in the ocean. An unexplainable
intangible combination of circum-
stances make every boat respond
differently to roll and pressure OF
salt water, the audience was told.
Some boats are known as killers
The Vittoria Emanuel III, an Ital.
ian vessel, was known to have killec
a man on every trip. Even in DIR!
dock during construction operations
a man was killed on the ship.
TOP HEAVY BOATS
A sailor can always pick out q
dangerous top heavy ship. Ore
carrying ships are especially dan
gerous. Several years ago, the Cy-
clops, an ore carrying ship, disap-
peared with crew of $50 on board
No one to the present day has ever

War Maneuvers Are Relief To Routine
Army Camp Life, Bluffton Boy States
No Shaves Until We

Vow; O. X. With Goods

WHISPERS leaped into popu-

this week as members of the
football squad vowed there would
be no shaves until the team
chalked up victory.
The stand of the football war
riors was staunchly supported by
pretty goods of the school who
also banded together into an
agreement that they would have
no dates with youths who did
not grow a luxuriant growth of
whiskers, ''just like the foot
ball fellows.
Whether the present whisker
growing movement wwill be
shortlived or not will depend on
the outcome of the Bluffton-Ash-

Defense Glasses To
Start First Of Year

National Defense classes to pro-
vide training in vocational pursuits
will commence after the Christmas
holidays rather than at the present
time, it was announced Wednesday
morning by A. j. B. Longsdorf, sup
erintendent of Bluffton schools.
Need of the young men on the
farms and the present demand for
men in industry have caused the
enrolment to be less than the mini
mum of 10 students and it was de-
cided to offer the instruction at a
later date.
