Due to gasoline rationing and
scarcity of men, the basketball situa-
tion is unpredictable up to the pres
ent time. Coach A. C. Burcky
stated that his boys will be able to
get to Bowling Green and Ada, Dec.
3 and 9, respectively, for their
scheduled games, but the possibility
of longer trips this year seems very
doubtful. 1t is also uncertain
whether or not other colleges and
universities will find transportation
to Bluffton for the scheduled home
games. However Coach Burcky ex-
poets that Bluffton will be able to
keep its engagement with Findlay
for game after the Christmas
season.

word was passed that we were off to
North Africa to open the second

180 SHIPS
"When our vessels had all gath

all together and it was quite a sight
to see. No submarines bothered us
for it would have been certain death

"On the morning of Nov. 8 at a
o'clock we crept up on the north
coast of Africa and made our at
tack. Before reaching there we sep
arated and made the attack at sew
eral points along the coast, our
port being a town called Safe, To-
Gated 460 miles south of Gibralter
Everything was ready and the
morning very dark, when about a
mile from shore, hell broke loose in

trouble unloading the troops and

loaded troops in the barges for the
docks were only big enough for two

Heralding the approach of the
Christmas season, churches of the
celebrated with an observ-
ance known as Advent last Sunday
and will continue every Sunday until
Christmas week.
Just as Lent is preparation for
Easter, Advent is preparation for
Christmas. In one form or another
it is recognized officially by the
Roman Catholic church, Lutheran
and Anglican churches.
Historical records indicate that
the season began to be observed
when a canon of the Council at
Saragoss in $50, forbade the faith
full to absent themselves from the
church services during the three
weeks from December IT to Epi-
phany.
The length of time of the season
has been changed at various times
in history but in the ninth century
it was made to begin as it now does
with the Sunday nearest to the feast
of St. Andrew, Nov. 30, and con-
tinue to Christmas with four Sun
days.

Stringent meat rationing to Bluff
ton citizens, as well as all civilians
will take place around mid-January
according to tentative plans of the
Office of Price Administration an
nounced in press dispatches this
week.
Reason for the limitation will be
the shortages of beef, veal, pork,
lamb and mutton supplies for the
armed forces. Civilian ALLEGATIONS
were cut last October and the new
cut will probably be ordered in
January, the sources indicated.
The new cut will be a direct re-
suit of our expanding military
operations abroad and will hit the
beef supplies of civilians most
severely despite the fact that civil
ian beef consumption has been cut to
70 per cent of 1941.
No specific date for the start of
the meat rationing program has
been set, but an official of the OPA

Bluffton motorists purchased gaso-

under new rationing regulations, by
surrendering No. coupon in the
Basic A gasoline ration book.
The coupon is good for four gal
Ions of gasoline. The motorist may
use one No. 3 coupon or all eight
of them any time he chooses within
the period to Jan. %, 1943.
He may burn four gallons this
week, or 10, 20 or 80 gallons that
No. provides right away. If all
80 gallons are used now the motor

After an uneventful crossing OF

After assisting in the convoy op-

Scoles returned to this country on
his ship and mailed the letter from
an east coast port which was re-
ceived here.
The letter reads in part as fol-

eNENUS

This year, all of us are doing
our part to help in wartime activ-
tiles. Our children are not ex-
cepted. They will be called upon
to help more in the home than
ever before, assuming some of the
responsibilities which were left to
their mother or bis sisters. The
things they will be asked to do
should not be too hard. Cooking
for the little girls becomes a priv
ilege. They may enjoy making
their own cookbooks or notebooks
in which they write down the rec
ipes they have tried and which
their fathers and brothers liked.
AS someone said. Little girls
should learn as much as possible
at their mothers apron strings,
and at their fathers expense"
There is much truth to this; praise
from a father is usually enough
to set a child's spirits high and
make here doubly eager to repeat
her culinary task or to perform
another more ambitious one. Start
her on the most simple ones first,
gradually ADDING more difficult
ones. Then as special treat, let
her try these on the family.
