History OF Phone
Described In Book

Interesting incidents in the his
torical development of the American
telephone communications system are
described in the 1941 telephone al
manac to all subscribers at the local
telephone office.
During the year 1941 will occur
the anniversaries of two notable
events in the history of communica-
tion by the spoken word in the west
ern hemisphere.
Sixty years ago, on June IL, 1881,
submarine cable for telephone use
was laid between Detroit, Mich, and
Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Altho
there had been some telephone COM
munication across the border prior
to that date, this was one of the
first and most important events in
the development of regular service
between the United States and the
largest of its English speaking
neighbor countries.
Twenty years ago, on April IL
1921, service was formally opened
over three deep-sea telephone cables
connecting Key West, Florida, anc
Havana, Cuba, an event of outstand,
ing Importance in tn development
of telephone communication between
the United States and Latin Amer.
lea.
During the years that have elapsed
since these events took place, re-
markable advances in the communi.
cation science have been made. Tt
meet the needs of the peoples oi
the western hemisphere, telephone
facilities have been extended far ano
wide by land lines, submarine cables
or by radio.
The United States is now withir

tries, colonies or territories in or ad

Famous Pianist To
Play Here Feb. IL

Appearing before Bluffton audi
ences for the third time, Maurice
Dumesnil, internationally famous
French pianist, will be heard as one
of the number on the Bluffton college
music course in the college auditor
ium Monday night, February II.
An interesting feature of his
Bluffton appearance will be the mas
ter class which he will conduct dur
ing the afternoon of his evening per-
formance. At this time he will play
works of the composers and demon
strate the proper finger and other
technique of interest to piano stu
dents.
Piano students will also be given
chance to become acquainted with
the pianist in a dinner meeting to
be held at the Walnut Grill before

Pdunhdus Also Used
By PennsyIUani0ns

Further dispute to Buttons claim
to "paunhaus" as an exclusively
Swiss dish, was given this week
when it was reported to the Bluff
ton News that the delicacy is very
common among the Pennsylvania
Dutch.
1t was originally reported thai due
to the difficulty in obtaining the
dish elsewhere that it was thought
to be peculiar to this immediate COM
munity.
Herbert Siefeld, local baker of
Dutch extraction, reported that the
dish is very common in Dutch set
Elements near Toledo.
That the dish is far more COM
mon than first believed was seen in
the statement to the News by Har-
vey Beidler, native of Bally, Pa,
now living on South Jackson street,
who pointed out that "paunhaus' IS
sold in farm markets in Philadel-
phia.
Most of the Pennsylvania "Dutch"
farmers make the dish with the var
iation that part buckwheat flour is
used instead of cornmeal. The
Pennsylvania product, therefore, is
somewhat darker than is is the case
in this locality.

by a large number of the holy
fathers as their patron saint, and
consequently the celebration was
named after him. February IA was
selected as the date for celebration
because of the desire to substitute
this holier ceremony for a more
pagan ceremony which existed at
that date.
The clergy, however, failed in their
attempt to make the ceremonies
popular among the youth of the day.
The young people were not satisfied
to initiate the holy fathers and bal
lot for ghostly partner in heaven.
Youth longed for tangible flesh and
blood here on earth and instituted a
secular version of the religious
practice.

Life Of Abraham Lincoln Characterized

own way he gained an insight into
the structure of English, and a
freedom and skill in the selection and
combination of words, which not only
made him the most convincing
speaker of his time, but which have
secured for his speeches a permanent
place in literature.
One of those speeches is already
known wherever the English langu-
age is spoken; it is classic by
virtue not only of its unique conden-
sation of the sentiment of a tre-
mendous struggle into the narrow
compass of a few brief paragraphs
but by virtue of style that gives to
the largest thought the beauty OF
perfect simplicity.
Although his place in history as
one of the worlds great men is de.
fnitely established, Lincoln was

BluftOn NelUs In
Clipping Service

If you were to visit Burrelle's
Press Clipping Bureau in downtown
New York, you'd find a hundred
young girls doing nothing but read
ing newspapers and magazines.
The offices which overlook the
Hudson River, are as quiet as a
library reading room, and all you
see are newspapers stacked in piles
reay to be read and clipped.
Harold Wynne, young college
graduate who is president of this un-
usual organization says: "Our girls
enjoy reading the Bluffton News be-
cause it contains so many interesting
items about our clients.
Burrelle's Press Clipping Bureau
was started back in 1883 with two
readers and a handful of papers.
Frank Burrelle, the originator of the
clipping bureau idea and founder of
Burrelle's, overheard one man ask
another if he had seen the article in
the morning paper which mentioned
his name.
From this conversation began an
organization which today has branch
offices all over the world and spends
more than $4,000 a year for news
paper and magazine subscriptions.

Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico,
with daily catches running as high
as 100 pounds, was enjoyed by Bert
Williams, of Union township, who
with Mrs. Williams spent six weeks
in Florida with their son-in-law and
daughter Capt. and Mrs. Francis
Clymer.
Residence of the Clymers is on
Treasure Island at st. Petersburg,
and Capt. Clymer is engaged in the
occupation of deep sea fishing.
Fishing trips in which Williams
and his son-in-law worked together
resulted in daily catches of from
500 to 700 pounds Many large
groupers were caught, weighing as
much as 80 pounds.
The groupers are colorful fish OF
red and black hue that grow to

Thousands of books written con-
cerning him and as many clubs form
ed for the exclusive purpose of delv-
ing into the fields of Lincolnonia,
Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth presi-
dent of the United States whose
birthday is celebrated Wednesday, is
accorded by many the role of great
est American.
Many of the lesser known events in
his life give insight into his char
acter which was always marked by
humility, unselfish nature, ready wit,
sterling character and full of for
giveness to his enemies.
Lincoln once wrote a very brief
autobiography and appended the fol-
lowing note to it: Herewith is a
little sketch, as you requested.
There is not much of it, for the
reason, | suppose, that there is not
much of me-.
Not only was Lincoln humble
man, but a clever wit. Once when
he was lawyer in Illinois, he and
a certain judge once got to banter
ing one another about trading horses;
and it was agreed that the next
morning they should make trade
the horses to be unseen until a desig.
mated hour, and no backing out
under a forfeiture of $25.
At the appointed hour the judge
came up, leading the sorriest look
ing specimen of horse ever seen il
those parts. In a few minutes Mr.
Lincoln was seen approaching Will
wooden sawhorse upon his should
ers. Great were the shouts and tn,
laughter of the crowd.
After surveying the judges ami
NAL, Lincoln sat down on his saw
horse and exclaimed: "Well, Judge
this is the first time | ever got the
worst of it in a horse trade"
