Responsibility Taught
A sense OF responsibility and
duty is engendered in each child

required to perform some small
task each day to aid in the ef-
ficient running of the camp. Ev-
cry morning. some are assigned

inspection period, the cleanest cot

receive a flag to be placed on
their cottage for the day. Later
In the day. other children find
small jobs about the grounds. the
hospital or the dining room. To
have such a special assignment

treated as such. A 'shirker" Is

GREEN PASTURES CAMP


By j. Edward Mccall
Green Pastures Camp Ger looks lake
Where sunbeams dance and lilies float;
It's fields are green, and waters still.
Like the pastures of which the Psalmst wrote.
From verdant meadows, woods. and des,
Bright wild flowers watt their perfume rare,
And wild birds in the shrubs and trees,
Pour forth sweet music on the air.
The camp near Grass Lake, Michigan,
Sits on a hillside green and high,
And towering brches round about
Stand guard, their arms raised toward the SKY
The trees are big and tall and straight,
Friendly and firm as shelterlng rocks;
They look like shepherds on a hill.
Watching Ger their precious focks.
The camp is modern and equipped
With office building, dining hail.
Ten cottages for girls and boys,
A kitchen, laundry-plant, and all.
Each summer, to this ideal camp,
From hmuble home and city sum-
Seeking Gods outdoors and the sun.
Five hundred colored children come.
Conducted by the Urban League,
In charge of shepherds kind and wise,
Green Pastures Camp for small dark lambs,
Is like an earthly paradise.
The man who gave this summer camp -
James Couzens childhood's "friend-in-need.
Will live enshrined within the hearts
OF children Of each race and creed.

poisonous varieties one should apply
tourniquet between the bite and
the heart and make an incision Of
about a quarter of an inch deep.
Suction should then be applied to
the wound so that the poison may
be drawn out.
If the lips are used to suck the
poison the individual need have no
fear because swallowing the poison
would not hurt him, unless there
were cuts or abrasions on the lips.
The poison hurts the blood stream
but not the stomach, the speaker
said.
Most bites, even by poisonous
snakes, will not be serious. However
physician should be called as a
prevention against possible serious
effects from deep bites. An anti
venom serum will be injected into
the blood stream in case the bite is
considered serious.

SPORTS IN SHORTS

Bluffton Highs improving gridders
will face real test this week, when
they take on Van Wert's Cougars at
Van Vert, in the first Western Buck
eye league contest of the season for
either competitor. Van Vert de-
Tending champion, whose record was
blemished only by tie to Bluffton
last fall, is in a dangerous mood. :.
After losing to Defiance two weeks
ago, their first defeat in two years,
the Cougars came back with a rush
last week to smear Kenton AZ to 6, in
an amazing display of power.
Two other league teams made good
records last week. !. -. Bellefontaine
crushed Marysville, 80 to g.. In the
opening league contest of the season
Celina got off to good start with a
IA to 2 victory over Wapakoneta. -.
st. Marys, playing non-league foe,
tied Coldwater, to 7, by coming from
behind in the last quarter after trail
ing for two periods.
Two other teams in this area had
more of field day than that repre-

College Meets Capital Here Saturday;
High School At Van Vert On Friday

Bluffton's starting lineup will be
essentially the same as that which
did yeoman's duty at Kenyon last
week. Kerr and Fred Soldner will
be at ends with Hugus and Simcox
shifting to the flank on defense) ;
Fretz and Baumgartner, tackles
Paul Soldner and Hugus, guards;
Simcox, center; Wenger, quarter
back; Beidler, left half; Klassen or
Borse, right half; Sommer or Keen
ey, fullback.
A test that may go far in deter
mining how the Pirates will rank as
a championship contender in the
Western Buckeye grid league this
fall awaits Bluffton High in their
game with Van Vert at that place
this Friday night.
AS defending league champion,
Van Vert will put up a determined
battle, and altho the Cougars two
weeks ago suffered their first loss
in two years, they came back to
crush Kenton, AT to 6, last Friday,
to demonstrate a powerful offensive
attack can be expected.
Last year Van Vert had a league
record blemished only by a Go tie
with Bluffton, and games between
the two schools in previous years
have been equally as bitterly waged,
to provide a fitting background for
the annual renewal of hostilities.

Dominating play all the way in
every department, Bluffton Highs
resurgent Pirates whipped Pandora,
10 to O, last Friday night at Harmon
field, in the annual renewal of ira
ditional rivalry between the two
schools.
To demonstrate their superiority
early in the game, the Swankmen
drove over for their first touchdown
IN the opening quarter, added an
other in the second period, and tai
lied for the third time in the closing
stanza.
Buttons offensive play continued
to show marked improvement, and
defensively the Pirates played a su-
perb game that effectually check
mated every Pandora attempt to get
a scoring march under way.
1t was a fine night for football,
and the traditional aspects of a
Bluffton-P Pandora game found the
stands packed and sidelines crowded
with spectators from the two towns.
Pandora put up game battle, but

found themselves unable to cope with
Buttons edge in defensive and of
fensive play.
Bluffton counted six points in the
initial stanza when a 50-yard touch
down march was climaxed by 20
yard pass from Hermann to Schmidt
good for the score.
In the second quarter, the Pirates
ran their advantage to II points
when Bob Burkholder plunged over
the goal from the six-yard line to
conclude scoring parade that
started near midfield.
After going scoreless in the third,
Bluffton uncorked another thrust in
the fourth period, good for touch
down. Fred Hermann tailed it on
a four-yard plunge, and he added
the point after touchdown on another
smash at the line.
Attempted placements after the
first two touchdowns went wide.
Last Fridays victory was Bluff
toms second in three games, and

record marked by steady improve

Bluffton fans finds the college play
ing its first home game of the sea-
son here Saturday afternoon, and
the high school tangling with Van
Vert at the Cougars stadium, Fri
day night.
Bluffton colleges foe in the annual
Homecoming tilt at Harmon field
Saturday afternoon will be a strong
Capital eleven, rated as one of the
best in the Ohio conference.
Local followers are not selling
the Beavers short, however, for the
teams improved showing against
Kenyon last Saturday demonstrated
that the Burckymen have finally
added scoring threat to their dog
ged defensive play.
Those in the stands for the home
coming assignment will find the
Bluffton team running many of its
plays from the widely-publicized ''T'
formation this season, departure
from offensive play of the Beavers
in past years.
Capital, tied last year by Bluffton,
6-6, has played one game this sea-
son, in which the Lutherans trounced
Defiance, so to 0. Most of the mem
bers of the squad come from Glass
A schools, and the Capital team will
be heavier and have more exper-
ience.

pean cultures the German believes the
American nation cannot be taken SER
iously, DIR. Lehman pointed out.
German Morale
There was some slip in morale when
the German army was unable to bring
the Russian campaign to a quick con-
clusion as Hitler promised. However,
the advance made this summer have
raised the morale again to a high lev
ell, it was stated.
Germany is bleeding the occupied
countries white in order to feed their
own population. Prisoners of war are
being used to till the fields and civil
ians in the occupied countries are be-
ing forced to labor for the conqueror.
These techinques are providing suf-
ficient food for both Germany civil
ians and armies.
Starvation in the occupied countries
is tremendous. In Greece 3,500,0O0
people will starve to death by Christ
mas. In Poland people are dying by
the hundreds of thousands of star
vation.
Order Out of Chaos
hTe speaker belived that the aver.
age German is not completely sold on
Hitler and the principles of the Nazi
party but go along with them because
they restored confidence, unified the
country and brought order out of
chaos after the collapse of the Ewart
government in 1923.
Revolution in the country is far
from imminent and the people and
leaders all seem to have confidence in
victory. The speaker believed that
ultimately there would be revolution
in the country when German people
are at last convinced that the tide is
turnin against them.

Snakes Are Friends OF Man, Says
Naturalist In Talk At High School

With $500 different kinds of
snakes in the world there are only
four poisonous snakes that are dan
gerous to man, it was stated by Jack
Raymon, well known naturalist, who
addressed Bluffton High school stu
dents in an assembly meeting Tues
day morning.
Of these four, the copperhead, the
coral snake, the cotton mouth moe
casin and the rattlesnake only the
latter two are common enough to
constitute real danger. The rattle
snake and cotton mouth are easily
identified by anyone familiar with
outward markings.
