Rumanian newspapers reaching

families in the Rumanian village
of Kubmarus near Timisoara,
have adopted the Jewish faith as
a protest against the persecution

NORDAU, LEV1NTHAL AND
SOLD
The shade of Max NOrdau who
led Just two decades ago prOba-
liz experienced satisfaction this
eek. Just after the first World
Var, Nordau arose in the Zionist
Ongress to plead for the sending,
4 once, of half a million Jews to
aIestine. He used a rather rough
brm in speaking about it. He
lid, dump" the Jews on Pales-
Inc.
Yes, it was a rough term and
|e knew that in dumping Jews,
kithout first making preparations
br their establishment in Pales-
Inc, many would succumb. And
let looking back at what the
ears have brought, would the
lumber of casualties have ap-
reached the number that have
|erished by our failure to dump
hem? If we had gotten rough
hen, perhaps it would not be so
|pugh now for the Jews of Eu-
|ppe.
Max NOrdau was the strident
|Oice then, calling for a mass
tansference of Jews to Palestine.
ut it appears thatfhe was twenty
ears too early. At the Zionist
Invention in New York the phil
|gOphy of NOrdau took a dOmi-
amt position. Where NOrdau
|sked for the sending of a half
billion Jews, Judge Levinthal
|sked for the transference of be-
Ween two and three million
|ews. ZiOnists were talking in
|ery large terms.
Robert Sold made an excep-
Ponal address at the convention.
rhe man who started out as a
.isciple of Louis D. Brandeis de-
lvered an address that swept the
Invention off it's feet. He re-
iewed all the various compro-
nise Zionist proposals from par
icipation to the Ichud program
md in succient language showed
hat all are camouflaged propos-
Us to limit immigration. He
|ointed out to the growing anti

rowing despite the general
pread of democratic ideas. He
|ictured this mounting homeless
Jess of the Jew, and in the face
4 it, he made it plain that this
no time for Zionists to accept
|ny elimination of their de-
hands. This is the time for an
|ffensive Zionist. Defense does

Sale Of 1912 Auto
Licenses Delayed
CONTINUED from page y

License tag distribution will be de-
layed in the following counties: Al
len, Auglaize, Putnam, Mercer, Van
Vert, Paulding and Lorain. Reason
for the delay in these counties is due
to the lower serial numbers. The
plates are manufactured according
to the alphabetical sequence of the
serial letters, it was stated.
EVENING SALE
From March 10 until April /, tags
will be on sale days and night at the
motor sales rooms, Bixel announced.
All automobiles, trucks, trailers
and motorcycles operated on or
after April l must display new Ii
cense plates or owners of the We
hicles will be subject TO arrest.
Ohio's 1912 tags have green letters
on a white background. Contrary tc
rumors there will be two tags issued
for each car, Bixel said. Because OF
iron and steel shortages press dis
matches have stated that there may
be only one tag per car this year.
RATES
Rates on tags for passenger cars
will be unchanged, with S7.25 charged
for cars up to Is horsepower; S10.25
for those with horsepower from 70
to 81; and $16.25 for all over 81
horsepower. Clerks fees are includ-
ed in the above prices.
Passenger car tags may be secured
here on the presentation of the bill OF
sale or certificate of title and can be
secured only by the owner of the We
hicle. Applications for truck and
trailer licenses are sent to Columbus,
and the tags are mailed direct to
the purchaser.
TURN IN OLD TAGS
The State Bureau of Motor We
hicles has requested that all purch-
asers of license tags turn them in to
filling stations, all of which will be
equipped to change the tags. Tags
from previous years will also be re-
ceived, it was stated.
Special affidavits will be provided
! for parents who desire to buy
licenses for the cars belonging to
boys in the service.
Because of some difficulties en-
countered by purchasers giving false
information when buying auto tags,
revised information cards will be
used this year, Bixel said.

cagers will face one of the strongest
outfits they have played this season
when they take the floor against
Middlepoint at 10 p. m. this Thurs
day, in the opening round of the
Sectional Class B tourney at Celina.
Middlepoint's record of % straight
victories makes the team one of the
favorites of the meet, but if the
Bluffton crew can return to the form
it showed in mid-season the battle
should be one of the high spots of
the tournament.
Should the Dillermen be success
full against Middlepoint, their next
start will be at 9:15 p. m. Saturday
against the winner of the Lima
Shawnee-Lima st. Rose assignment.
Other teams in the lower bracket
with Bluffton include New Knoxville,
paired with Wapakoneta st. Joseph's
at 8:45 p. m. Thursday, and Delphos
Jefferson which will play TT. Re
covery at 1880 p. m. Thursday.

March 13, in both the upper and
lower brackets, with the finals on
Saturday, March IA. Only one team
from the district will be eligible to
compete in the State tournament at
Springfield the week of March 16.
Seven teams are in the upper
bracket of the Celina sectional meet,
oaglin-Jackson drew a bye, to be
the only outfit not called on to play
in the first round. Upper bracket
play will open this Wednesday, with
the following games: Delphos St.
Johns VS. Lima st. Johns; Conner VS.
Coldwater; and Lima st. Gerards VS.
Cridersville.
Successful teams will play again
Friday in the upper bracket, and
Conner, Allen county champion, is one
of the favorites to go thru to the
finals.
Of the competing teams, eight are
from Allen county. Conner was the
Allen county tournament winner and
Shawnee qualified for the sectional
as winner of the consolation bracket.
Bluffton, Delphos Jefferson, Del
phos st. Johns, Lima st. Rose, Lima
ST. Johns and Lima st. Girards are

Sugar Rationing Reg
istratiOn Set For 4-Day
Period
Continued from page y

closure from War Production Board
officials that the weekly ration will
be reduced from II ounces per
capita to half pound for every
| individual.
Rationing of sugar for civilian and
family requirements will be handled
by the Bluffton elementary school
teachers while restaurant, bakery
and commercial use of sugar will be
supervised by the high school
teachers, Longsdorf said.
Dates for the distribution of sugar
rationing cards will be fixed in the
near future, 1t was stated by o. E.
Hill, assistant state director of edu-
cation. Rationing cards will be
issued to every man, woman and
child IN the community.
Withhold Books
The ration books will not be given
to any individual who has more than
eight weeks supplies of sugar in his
hoard. Stamps will be torn from
the book to make up for the excess
but if this is more than an eight
weeks supply, based on a half pound
per person per week, the book will
be withheld.
If anyone should fail to register
in the four day period he will have
to wait at least two weeks for an
other chance to get book, it was
stated.
All persons who have boarded
sugar will be required to report the
amount at the time of the issuance
of the rationing card. All sugar
over two pounds per capita is con-
sidered by the board as boarded
sugar. Stamps will be torn from
the books to prohibit sugar pur-
chases until the boarded stock be-
comes exhausted.
Dishonest Reporting
Dishonest reporting of the amount
of boarded sugar will be punishable
under the federal criminal code with
penalties up to $4,000 fine or 10
years Imprisonment. The applica-
tion carries a warning of the penal
ties for making false reports.
The ration books contain %
stamps, each numbered and good for
the purchase of a specified amount
of sugar, likely II ounces, during a
designated week. When sugar is
purchased the grocer will tear the
stamp and paste it on a master card
which will be turned in when full to
obtain additional sugar.
An individual living in a house
hold but not a member of the family
will not suffer for irregularities
caused by boarding or other viola
tions of the family. Such indivi-
duals will register separately.

is a commissioned officer.
Following verifcation from United
States Marine headquarters that
David was prisoner of the Jap
anese, Rev. and Mrs. Kliewer re-
ceived letter from him stating that
he was "alive and in good health but
much more than that | am not al
lowed to say. j. T. Please let all my
friends know | am safe and sound
There was no information as to
his whereabouts and the letter was
censored twice. A corner of the en-
velope, presumably bearing his re-
turn address had been cut off by the
censor.
Kliewer graduated from Bluffton
High school in 1895 and was vale
dictorian of his class. He was also
prominent in athletics and public
speaking.
He enlisted in the marine ali
corps in 1889 and was stationed for
a time in Pensacola, Florida, and
later at San Diego, Calf. From
there he was sent to Hawaii. Word
from the marine corps was the first
announcement that he was stationed
on Wake island at the time of the
Japanese attack.

Large Output

Large Output
When present installations are COM
pleted, the five turbines TO be in OPP
GRAFTON viii produce an aggregate of
800 kilowatts, estimated to be adj
equate for upwards of 100000 popu
lation.
Of this total 1880 kilowatts will
be produced by three units at the
Central Ohio plant for distribution
throughout a wide territory in this
part of the state and 1000 kilowatts
from two units at the municipal
plant for local consumption.
Development of power facilities
here was made possible by the three
quarries which are necessary for OPP
Grafton of turbines. Quarries are the
National and Buckeye owned by the
Central Ohio interests and the Water
works quarry, property of the NUM-
cipality.
Large quantities of clear cool water
are required to cool the turbines for
satisfactory operation, and conse-
quently location of an electric energy
generating station is determined by
the availability of this type of water
supply.
Railroad Facilities
Another requisite for the location of
a plant of this nature is that there
must be adequate railroad shipping
facilities to supply the coal.
The National quarry with 28 acre
expanse of water was the major reas-
on for the location of the Woodcock
generating station Of the Central Ohio
Light and Power Co. The general
ing plant located beside it has at its
disposal an almost unlimited water
supply necessary for cooling pur-
poses in the operation of the three
turbines.
Ideal Location
Experts who have inspected the
plant have declared its location ideal
for electric generating purposes and
the station has been given one of the
highest efficiency ratings in the entire
country.
The plant also owns another aban-
doned stone quarry which it has leas-
ed to the village for swimming pur-
poses. The Buckeye Swimming lake
could supply large additional
amount of water in case shortage
would develop.
The municipal light plant is also
located beside an abandoned stone
quarry which provides the necessary
water supply for cooling of the tur-
bines. In addition to the water from
the abandoned stone quarry the NUM-
cipal plant obtains a water supply
from the Bluffton Stone Co. of which
100000 gallons per day are being sold
by the town to the Page Dairy Co.
Two Quarries
Some of the Bluffton Stone Co.
water is diverted into the abandoned
quarry beside the plant with the re-
suit that the water of two quarries
is being used to cool the turbine.
The town recently purchased 1850
| XIV capacity turbo- generator from a
mining concern in Alamo, Colorado.
This gives the municipal plant an OPP
Grating capacity of 1000 XIV.
This together with the Central Ohio
station means that Bluffton will have
a current energy production of nearly
10000 XIV capacity. This large pro-
duction would be impossible were it
not for the unusually large amount of
clear cool quarry water available in
the community.
