FROM THE WILDERNESS
TO SMALL TOWN PEACE

FROM THE WILDERNESS
TO SMALL TOWN PEACE
AFTER MORE THAN half cen.
fury of wandering in the wilderness
of great metropolitan city, I am
at home again in a country town.
Fifty years among strangers; mil
lions of strange faces, with only the
occasional friendly smile or cheer
full greeting from one you knew or
with whom you had a speaking ac-
quaintance; pushing, driving through
crowds with whom you had nothing
in common, other than that they,
too, were among strangers, as
was, and were fighting their way
through a wilderness.
And now, after so years of lost
time, am at home again in a coun-
try town, where, as walk down
the street, get a cheerful smile
and a friendly greeting from each
person meet; where the little chill
dren take me by the hand and with
their childish faces turned upward,
tell me of their joys and sorrows,
their playmates and their toys
Back again to the beauties of tree
bordered streets, to flowers, lawns,
gardens and fruit trees. Back again
to neighbors l can, and do, know
and am neighborly with-neighbors
who have friendly interest in my
welfare and who would be con-
cerned if I were i'll or suffered mis-
fortune of any kind; neighbors with
whom can visit across the fence
or hedge, and with them compare
notes as to orange or persimmon or
walnut trees; neighbors who offer
kindly comment on the appearance
of my lawn and roses; who express
a bit of friendly envy about my
bouganvillea vine and acacia tree,
a great dome of small golden balls.
Back again to where people drop
in, not to "calP' as a proper and
formal thing to do, but to visit be-
cause they like you and want to
come. Back to where there are no
inequalities, no class distinctions.
Back to where you are not sub
ject of prey, where those you meet
do not, as in the wilderness of the
city, figure on the value you may be
to them. The doctor meets you on
the street and noticing you have
cold, he suggests what to do for it,
with no thought of sending a bill for
services rendered.
Back again to where the birds
sing at your window and flash their
brilliant plumage through the shrub
berry; where the dogs meet you with
wagging tails. Back to the beauties
as nature made them, and away
from the monstrosities of the city
wilderness.
Would that I might have another
SO years to enjoy the luxuries of
my country town as compensation
for the half century spent in the
wilderness.

AMERICA TODAY HAS
NO GOVERNING CLASS

THE YEAR was 1919. A group of
business and professional men,
many of them of national reputa-
ton, were meeting in Chicago for
the purpose of devising ways and
means of securing the enactment
by congress of a compulsory, uni
versal military training law to ap-
ply to young men between the ages
of 19 and 81.
I objected to the title of the bill.
"You cannot get support for the pro-
posal under the title of Military
Training Law" I insisted. "The
steel workers of South Chicago, the
farmers of Iowa will not support a
project to make soldiers. They will
support a law to train their sons
in citizenship"
One of those present said: "Why
should we change the title because
it may not appeal to the steel work
ers or the farmers?" he asked. TT
is our class that must do the think
ing for the nation"
The title was not changed. The
bill was never enacted into law. It
is the voters who do the thinking
for the nation, who determine what
laws we shall have.
The business and professional peo-
pie of America realize that today.
They may lead along practical
and unselfish lines, but they cannot
drive. America does not counte-
nance a governing class, whether it
be business leaders, labor leaders,
farmers, or any others.

Persons who stutter, 80 per cent
of whom are males, usually have
a vocabulary half again as large
as those who are free of this nerv-
Gus affliction, owing to their use
of synonyms for words, which, at
times, they cannot readily pro-

REAL PATRIOTISM
IN WARTIME

PATRIOTISM is something more
than hurting epithets at the enemy,
or shouting of ones love of country.
Patriotism is more of doing than
of talking. It is an evidenced will
ingness to sacrifice for the common
good. The manufacturer who de-
mands a profit on war materials at
the expense of the nation is not a
patriot, nor is the workman who
lays down his tools because of either
a real or fancied grievance when
the nation needs his services.
During World War I, knew a
German-born American citizen who
headed a large American plant, and
the government needed the entire
production of that plant. 1t was run
ming to capacity on profitable COM
mercial orders. When asked if he
would accept the government or
der, the head of this plant said he
would do so under one condition.
His own cost experts and cost ex-
perts named by the government were
to independently determine the cost
of production. The lowest figure as
determined by these experts must be
the price.

TOURNAMENT NOTES

When the smoke of the firing had
cleared away at the state basketball
tournament last week there were no
undefeated Class B teams left in the
state, but there were three who had
,st to only one B opponent during
the season. -. Bluffton's first setback
was at the hands of Bremen in the
semi-fnals Saturday afternoon; and
Bremen's first defeat was suffered a
few hours later when Somerset won
the state title. .Clearview, undefeat-
ed prior to the tournament, also lost
to Bremen during tourney play.
Two Bluffton High cagers were rat
ed by tournament officials among the
eight best of 160 players representing
16 teams in state championship play.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1942-03-26

latest Bluffton championship bid in
the semi-fnals.
In the opening round, the Pirates
tripped highly touted Aenia OHIO
Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home
outfit, 35 to 81; and they added to
their laurels with 35 to 27 quarter
final victory over Yorkville.
JINxED AGAIN
The link which six times has
thwarted Buttons state tournament
aspirations then reared its ugly head
in the third contest, and after lead
ing all the way the Dillermen were
edged by Bremen, 33 to 81, the first
time during the season that a Glass
B team had been victorious over the
locals.
Bluffton's setback was a shock to
most tournament followers, for the
Pirates consistently aggressive style
of play had made them the favorite
to clinch their championship bid this
season.
First showing their power, Bluff
ton put up a memorable battle
against the rugged Xenia team.
TURN BACK XENA
In the course of the contest the
score was tied five times, but air
tight defensive play in the fourth
quarter saw the Pirates scoring
seven points to three for their OPP
ponents, and the Dillermen came
through successfully.
Score by quarters was Bluffton 3,
Xenia 8; Bluffton Is, Xenia II; and
Bluffton %, Xenia %.
In the second tournament start,
Bluffton cashed in on brilliant third
quarter play to turn back Yorkville,
80 to 27.
STELLAR DEFENSIVE PLAY
The Pirates had held 7 to 2
lead at the close of the first quarter,
but Yorkville rallied to tie the count
at half-time, 18-all. In the third
stanza, the Pirates held Yorkville to
only one point while racking up Is
themselves to lead at the close of
the period, 81 to 10.
Undefeated Bremen needed plenty
of luck to beat the Dillermen in the
semi-fnal, but fortune permitted
them to maintain their record.
After leading for three quarters,
Bluffton saw their lead dwindle in
the closing minutes following the
loss of John Hermann and Pete
Schmidt on personal fouls. Bremen
pulled up to tie the score in the
last minute, then Hubbard racked up
field goal that meant victory for
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1942-03-26

Capt. Russ Gratz, Bluffton forward
was named on the all-tournament
team, and Roger Howe was a guard
on the second honorary squad Steady
play of the two men thruout the tour
nament did much to bolster Bluffton's
showing according to the Associated
Press report. Top selections by the
United Press were Roger Howe guard,
1st team and Robt. Cooney, forward
End team.
To Bluffton fans, however, all of
those who broke into the lineups
emerged as heroes. :. They all did
their part in advancing Bluffton to
the semi-final round, including Rich
Gratz, Norm Beidler, Bob Cooney,
Johnny Hermann, Pete Schmidt,

his team.
Bluffton had led at the quarters,
10 to s; % to Is, and 27 to 26.
BREMEN MISSES TITLE
Bremen's glory from the victory
was short-lived, however, for in the
finals on Saturday night Somerset
cut loose with an inspired basket
shooting performance to blot the red
clad outfits record and win the state
championship by a 40 to AZ count.
Bulffton cagers' disappointment
over their upset at the hands of
Bremen was eased, however, with the
knowledge that of six Pirate outfits
that have competed in state tourna-
ment play their record is second only
to the team of 1929 which went to
the finals before being defeated.
Box scores by games were as fol-
Tnuc.
