Probably no greeting on Mothers
day was more appreciated than the
one received by Mrs. J. E. Steiner
of Thurman street. 1t came by
cable from her son Cleon who is with
the army air corps in Australia.
Speaking of dashing co-eds, you'll
see Buttons dashingest Thursday
afternoon at the girls intramural
track meet at the college when they

Beg pardon-Robert Schaublin is a

stated in last issue.

Spring travels northward more
slowly than one might realize. Com
ing to Bluffton from her home in
Niagara Falls recently, Mrs. Byron
Stratton said when she left that
place the Niagara river was filled
with floating ice and as she passed
, through Lorain she saw youngsters
on the bathing beaches enjoying a
preseason swim. Mrs Stratton,
formerly of Bluffton, is visiting her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. McCune.
Billy Haller, Don and John Trip

day making tree house at the Trip
plehorn lot on South Main street.
After hours of work the house col
lapsed with Billy in it and then the
rain started which added to the diff
fculties.
Next Sunday afternoon will be a
red letter day for the gas airplane
model enthusiasts in Bluffton as
most of them are planning to enter

Last year hundreds of contestants
of this district participated in the
the colorful event The air is thick
with gasoline propelled planes of all
hues and descriptions. Some of them
soar so high that the owner never
sees them any more. Gas model de-
votees in Bluffton are: John Bracy,
Hugh Chamberlain, David Frick,
Roger Klay, Walter Stannus, Joel
Kimmel and Ralph Short.
Jeeps, beeps and peeps dominated

Showers aplenty and to think
that it wasn't so long ago that we
wondered if it ever would rain again
looks like open season for mush-
room hunters =. warm and moist
in the woods s. lots of folks out
looking for the fungi last Sunday
and driving miles in their search
might have found better ones
nearer home :. and when they're
looking for mushrooms they don't
spare the tires or the gas
and if the oldtimers in the Settle
ment are correct we'll be in for rain
most of the week :. we've heard
the old saying about rains in the
middle of May and the three bad
boys can't remember just what
it was but it always seemed to work
have to watch it this year to
see if it holds good.
They call 'em sugar ration cards
but that card with the little cou-
pons you got last week doesn't say a
word about sugar. Anyway it gets
us our allotment, so why worry
| about it.
Although the teachers registering
sugar consumers worked without
pay, one applicant for sugar card
on being informed that there was no
charge for the service offered to buy
the teacher a glass of beer.

College. Andy Anderson, Toledo U.
mentor who addressed the Lions club
here last week in referring to Zig

could do so much with so little.
Chinese peony tree in full bloom in
the front lawn of Miss Louise Ruhl
! on South Main. Different from the

been brought here by the late Geo
Ritzler all of forty years ago
or more. Ritzler was Buttons
leading flower fancier in those days
and did a lot with this hobby.
There was plenty of off the record
comment when word came that Bluff
ton would not get its fire truck, due
