Although Centuries Old, April Fool Day
Still Observed By Bluffton Youngsters

practice of April fooling appeared
there at a later period. English lit
erature records April fool jokes from
about 1713 on.
Endless is the joy if a rustic
simple can be found to apply at
the village book store for a History
of Ewes Grandmother" or to send
someone to the grocer's for a pint
of pigeons milk or to the cobbler's
for strap oil.
In Bluffton the April Fool joke
is still common. The average stu
dent considers the day a failure if
he has not been able to fool a
teacher or a fellow student.
Frequently an unsuspecting stud
ent will find paper with either
April Fool or Kick Me written on it.
A familiar trick is to place a brick
in an old hat for a passer-by tc
kick. Also we'll known is the trick
to attach a string to purse lying
in an easily accessible place and tc
jerk it away just as it is to be
grasped.

instructions on what to do in case
an enemy air raid comes to this
community were outlined this week
by Clair Fett, executive director of
the Bluffton Civilian Defense organi-
cation.
The following six simple rules
have been suggested for promoting
civilian safety:
/. Keep calm and cool. If you are
at home go into your refuge room
and lie down. If bombs fall good
place is under a sturdy table with
strong legs. If the raid starts
when you are away from home you
should lie down under shelter. Pro-
tect the back of your head. Do not
look up.
2. Stay home. A place of refuge
should be decided on before any
raids come. Generally the home
should not be left once the raid
starts.
8. Put out lights. Keep away from
windows and never look out. All
lights that can not be closely
screened should be put out so that
the enemy will have nothing to guide
him
a. If an incendiary bomb should
hit your house, it should be put out
with spray of water rather than

Ohio motorists have been urged
to carefully preserve their new 1912
auto tags once they have them on
their cars, for they may have to last
for the duration of the war.
In a metal economy move, the
war Production Board last week
moved that Ohio may not produce
new plates for 1943. Instead. metal
tabs four inches square will be at
tached to 1912 tags to bring them
up to date next year.
Ohio officials, who originally had
considered issuing only one tag next
year, announced that they did not
Know whether one or two tabs would
be required.
In normal usage Ohio needs 1.2O0
tons OF steel to produce its 100000
sets of automobile license plates.

Refrigerator Order
Changed By WPB

Stocks of electric refrigerators
held by domestic dealers since Feb
ruary Id may now be sold to retail
buyers, it was ruled last week by the
War Production board.
This action will permit dealers to
dispose of the entire stock they had
on hand as of Feb. IA when the gov
ernment froze all inventories.
Restrictions continue to apply to
gas and kerosene refrigerators be-
cause of shortages of such equip
ment, but dealers are permitted to
sell them back to distributors or
manufacturers.
In another ruling, the WPD cut
the nations tea consumption in half
to conserve dwindling tea supplies.
This order was intended to stretch
the nations supply of tea from q
six months total to last throughout
the entire year.

Do I'm Case OF Enemy Air Raids

stream or splash. A stream of
water causes the incendiary to ex-
plode making it scatter molten metal.
5. Make no attempt to turn off the
main gas valve unless your house is
badly damaged. Once the valve is
shut off, it should be turned on again
only by the trained man from the
gas company.
6. Do not telephone. This tends
to crowd the wires so that important
official information can not get thru.
1t has been urged that all families
become acquainted with their air
raid wardens and familiarize them
selves with the requirements for
safety.
Some one in each family should be
appointed to remember all of the
rules and to take charge of the sit
uation should an emergency arise
The mother is recommended.
Emergency water and sand should
be stored in sufficient quantities tc
be of assistance in fire fighting.
Altho the likelihood of enemy
bombs falling on individual houses
is small, the theory of the civilian
defense organization is that it is
better to be prepared and not have
anything happen than to be unpre
pared and have bombing raid.

Next Registration
For Draft April q

Fourth registration under the Sc
lective service act, scheduled for
Monday, April 27, will cover the
oldest group of men affected by the
law-those from 45 to Ga years of
age.
Altho required to register with
younger men, the older group will
be held in reserve for possible non
combatant service necessary in the
future.
With the scheduling of the fourth
registration by President Roosevelt
only one group affected by the select
i've service law will not be recorded.
This is the group 18 and 10 years
of age.
Total registration for the As to "a
group is expected to be approx
mately 100000.
Altho selective service officials do
not expect to draft any of the older
men for the fighting forces, they are
registering to comply with one pro-
vision of the draft law covering an
accurate and systematic appraisal
of the nations supply of man pow
er."
Registration on April 27 will be
the second since the United States
entered the war last December. On
Feb. 16, men in the 20 to Al group
who had not registered previously
were recorded by the government
Approximately 100000 men were
in that age bracket.
First selective service registration
since the World war was held Oct
16, 1910, when 100000 men from
q to 35 were affected.
Second registration was held last
July for those who had become q
after the first registration.

With Bluffton youngsters engag-

attention was called TO the origin OF
the celebration which IS traced to
France when the reformed calendar

all Christendom in commencing the

March %. Before the change was

With the adoption of the reformed
calendar in 1864, New Years Day
was carried back to January l, and
only pretended gifts and mock cere-

with the view of making fools of
those who had forgotten the change
of date.

Name of Easter Derived from
Anglo-Saxon Heather God
dess known as EaStre
Bluffton Churches Observe Re-
ligious Festivity; Women Ap-
pear i'm New Raiment

Bluffton churches Sunday will OBJ
serve Easter in commemoration of
the resurrection of Christ with many
of the traditional practices of the OBJ
servation marked by remnants that
were once distinctly pagan in char
acter.
The name, Easter, is used only
among the English and German
speaking people. 1t is derived in all
probability from a heather goddess
of the Saxons known as Eastre. She
was the personifcation of the east,
of the morning, of the spring.
"EAsTERMoNATH"
The month of April was dedicated
to her and was called Easter
monath" among the Saxons and
Angles and is still known in German
as "Ostermonat". Her worship
struck deep root in Northern Ger
many and was carried to England by
the Saxons. Her worship still sur
wives in some obscure customs in
feasts to celebrate the return of the
spring.
The Christian Easter was origin
ally a sort of thanksgiving observ-
ance lasting eight days. This con-
formed somewhat to the length OF
time devoted by pagans to their
spring festivities, and approached
the duration of the Jewish Paschal
observances.
The eight day period was after.
wards cut down to three days, after
that to two, and finally it became
as it exists now, a single day com
memorative of the resurrection.
PAGANISM
1t was the invariable policy of the
church to give a Christian signifi
canoe to such of the extant pagan
ceremonies as could not be rooted
