QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

J. NJ: Are egg whites harmful
to a person who is in perfect
health? | was told that no one
should eat egg whites not only be-
cause they are hard to digest, but
also because they destroy the
fora and they contain nothing Of
any value! Is that true?
Answer: Egg white is a valu-
able protein and is not harmful to
anyone unless they have an al
leroy to it. 1t is true that raw
egg white is hard to digest, but
cooked egg white is not. There is
no truth in the idea that it de.
stroys the fora.

Staying power and plenty of fight
gave Bluffton High cagers thei,
second victory of the season las,
Friday night as they captured an
overtime decision from Lima South
by "a to 32 score, on the local
court.
Buttons widest advantage was in
the first half of the game here, with
the Pirates leading II to 3 at the
quarter and Is to at halftime.
When the third quarter was ended,
the Swankmen were out in front, 26
to 20, but South further cut into the
advantage in the fourth stanza. With
only 80 seconds remaining, Bluffton
led 81 to 30, but Singleton scored a
free throw for Lima to tie the score
and send the game into the overtime.
Bluffton held all the advantage in
the extended period. Starting with
a rush, Bob Burkholder came thru
with field goal, and Neil Schmidt
dropped a free throw thru the nets
to make sure of victory.

cold, it is advisable to take along a
pan of grit as this is necessary in
the diet and is unobtainable when
the ground is frozen. This is only
fair pay for the sport we have had,
hunting them during the season, and
it will make next year better year
for sportsmen and wildlife.
Observation at the squirrel feeder

quenting the feeders. AS Mr..
Squirrel consumed each grain, por-
tions of the yellow kernel fell to the
ground there to provide feast for
the birds patiently waiting. None of
the blue jays, sparrows, chick-a-dees
and other small birds could eat the
whole corn grain alone, but through
the help of old bushy tail, the grain
broken up made a splendid feast
Nature is indeed wonderful!
To give the public a birds eye
view of the number of ring-necks
taken during the bird season, the
story is making the rounds without
absolute confirmation to date, that a
poultry man in Findlay has in the
past years made practice of dress
ing game birds for the out of town
gunners and local sportsmen. At a
charge of 25 cents per bird it is
reported that he dressed some 1900
birds for the boys this past pheasant
season. This figure does not include
the many ring-necks dressed by the
hunters at their homes in the area.
Locally the hunting for the
sportsmen was the best they have
enjoyed for a number of years. The
inquiring reporter has obtained sta
tistics to show the local nimrods
were exceptionally fortunate this
bird season.
Asking of the first 26 hunters en-
countered as to the number of cock
birds she iring the season, the
total v ound to be 142 roosters.
This average of 5.4 ringnecks
per anter. Of this group of hunt
ers only two were unable to shoot
any roosters during the season,
while two other gunners were very
lucky and were able to bag 20 and
21 respectively.
Roy Hauenstein reports that in his
community he knows of az roosters
shot by one group of hunters. Many
more cock birds were taken from the
same area by other groups of hunt
ers.
Many birds are left over, even
though the average per person was
unusually high this season.
