ROREAS, despot of the North,

AS defense against the pene-

Hart of NeWayGo County was
mufned 10 the eyes while he
drove warily over the icy roads

tragic mission 10 Big Spring a
trip he had been anticipating
for two years
II rver n girl had lived Il hard
NE, the officer thought. that
girl was Helen Cassidy and
now she was dead! Dead, he
had been informed. by her own
hand.
There had been war in that
family ever since Helen married
Charles Cassidy five years pre-
viously; a, merciless war die
tated by a mother-in-laW who
denied her own four grown chill
dren the right TO 1--we their own
lives. Though Helen had borne
her husband three boys and a
girl, the oldest 4, Charles was
completely dominated by his
mother, Matilda.
She had an unreasonable. in
tense hatred for her daughter
in-law. and she saw to it that
her son instituted divorce pro-
ceedings against the helpless
mother OF his children.

Henry Page, head of the Page
Dairy company may be surprised on
opening the mail in his Toledo office
some of these mornings to find an
envelope containing a snapshot of
smoke rolling from the tall stack of
his Bluffton plant.
You may recall that Page in a
letter to the town council here about
a year ago disclaimed for his plant
all responsibility for Buttons
smoke nuisance and placed the blame
on Buttons municipal waterworks
and light plant nearby. The photo
graph which Mayor Howe exhibited
at the council meeting Monday night
tells an entirely different story and
the mayor said he might send it
with his compliments to Henry up
in Toledo.
A swarm of mosquitoes were un-
welcome visitors at the meeting of
Bluffton school board Monday night
and the board wasted no time in
winding up its business and adjourn
ing. Windows of the board room
are not screened and the mosquitoes
responding to the call to come and
get it were out in full force.
The town council, which also met
on Monday night with windows in
the council chamber screened, dis
patched its business in leisurely
fashion unannoyed and undisturbed.
It's going to cost Mr.. John Tax
payer more money from now on
when little Johnny plays hockey
from school. The board at its meet
ing Monday night re-employed Chas.
Fenton as attendance officer and
upped his pay from fifty cents to
one dollar for each trip he makes
after youngsters who fail to come
to school.
Bluffton postoffice will lose one of
its best patrons with the removal
of the College Book shop from Bluff
ton to Toledo this fall. The step is
being taken with a view of reducing
operating costs by combining the
Biuffton and Toledo offices. We are
sorry to see Mr.. Reid leave. His
business, conducted principally by
mail, made up large portion of the
parcel post business handled by the
post office here.
Joan Clark has a new baton with
which she practices every day. She
made it out of a broom stick with a
ball on one end and the tip of a
crutch on the other. Her father
painted it red and white and Joann
can be seen twirling the stick with
the greatest of ease.
Another reason why we like this
time of year is because there's fresh

cane mill in the Settlement is in

ficient volume to justify operating
the mill. Here's hoping there's more
this year.
Another fire at Charlie Young's
last Wednesday afternoon when his
kitchen oil stove went wacky for the
second time within a month. Charlie
who is member of the fire depart
ment was going to put out the blaze
single handed when someone turned
in the alarm--and the fire depart
ment turned out in full force to the
tune of about SIS. Amount of dam
age was small. Some of the BOYS
around the mayors office suggested
that the town might be money
ahead by getting Charlie a new
stove instead of paying for fire calls.
Mrs. Oscar Wenger was treated to
a real surprise when she returned
home from club meeting one night
last week. During her absence her
husband had canned Ia quarts of
string beans, and the finished
product was on par with anything
that the best of the neighborhood
housewives could produce.
Bluffton area residents, along with
all other Americans, last week be-

new restricted federal installment
laws. In general, the regulations re-

After hitch hiking all the way to
Lima to see the air show Sunday,
Francis Kohl and Richard Newlan,
Bluffton junior high school students,
were sadly disappointed when they
learned that the show had been
postponed.
Indications are that Gene Patter-
son, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Pat
terson of South Main street, may
follow in the footsteps of his father
and grandfather the late Harry
Patterson, as an enthusiast of
things relating to horses. His
grandfather was widely known as
judge of horses in this section of
the state and his father has also
developed an expertness in that line.
Gene says there is nothing he enjoys
more than a good horse show and
that he loves to be around horses.
A bunch of the neighborhood boys
and girls around Riley street were
seen having bike races Sunday after
noon. Don Fritchie, Peggy Martin,
Alice Schmidt and Alice Warkentin
timed each other in the racing with
Alice Schmidt showing the most
speed.

Mrs. Ralph Stearns of Spring street,

He missed the grand championship,

margins, according to Judge ]. B.

Lord Howe Island

Lord Howe island, situated $50
miles off the east coast of Australia,
has developed a unique trade in
seeds from the Howea palms. The
demand is so great that the income
derived from the sale of the seeds
maintains the entire population.

he served as a crew member of one
of the sail boats in the races on
Lake Huron near Alpena, Mich,
where he was visiting his Uncle
Tesla. David reports that the lake
was quite rough and that he was
seasick for few moments.
| The pet baby catfish belonging to
Buddy Augsburger, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harley Augsburger of South
Lawn avenue, died Sunday. His
brother Don says that the fish died
because Buddy failed to feed it.
It's hard to believe, but Mary
Louise Dean, Bluffton junior high
student, saw it with her own eyes.
Hailstones the size of baseballs,
They really fell in Berne, Ind,
where Mary visited last Sunday.
Many people were seen gathering
them to place in ice cream freezers
and delicious desert was turned
out in short order. Louise Soldner,
however, says that once when she
was in Berne she witnessed hail
stones the size of muskmelons. She
says that they tore gaping holes in
automobiles parked on the streets.
The above story reminds us of the
peaches Robert Benroth picked from
tree back of his house one day last
week. He reported that they were
seven inches in diameter-but upon
being questioned by the News
office force changed his story and
said he meant circumference instead
of diameter.
The pet cat belong to Donald
Root of Mound street came home
the other night in sorry condition.
A bad rip in the head furnished the
clue to a battle royal that must have
taken place. 1t was all solved the
next morning when the neighbor's
cat, belonging to Belle Potee, was
seen running across the lawn with
its ear and nose badly torn. What
fight that must have been!
After all there's nothing like
power machinery to accomplish
heavy work. You should see the
big bull dozer clean out the ditch
at the farms of Mel Zimmerly, Dan
Basinger, Joe Thompson and Gust
Basinger, west of town.
A lot of the Spring street kids
were seen sliding down the hill
near the creek on pieces of card
board recently. Enjoying the fun
were Joann Burkholder, Betty and
Gordon Bixel and Jane Howe.
After bidding her mother good bye
the other morning Margaret Burk-
holder, living 713 miles west of
Bluffton, ran down the lane to meet
the Bluffton school bus only to find
that it was just car going by. Her
vision was evidently dimmed by the
mist.
