The Homer Moser's who had been

Ezra Moser's decided to do the same
thing at the same time-hence the
unexpected meeting of both families

Passing of Burdette Clark brought
the war measurably nearer to Bluff
ton. A cleancut youth, he was
typical of the best things for which
the coming generation stands and
made the supreme sacrifice in the
furthering of those ideals. By a
strange quirk Of fate the first
casualties in the Bluffton and Ada
district bore the name of Clark.
Don Clark, Ada youth was killed in
bomber crash several months ago.
Reports current the first of the
week from reliable quarters that
local meat markets are thinking of
discontinuing sales of pork because
| ceiling retail prices and unlimited
prices for hogs on the hoof have re-
suited in a situation where pork is
being sold at a loss, SO the story
goes.
And all of this looks like pre-
lude to meat rationing about the
first of the year Looks like it's
about the only solution after the
way canned meats are disappearing
off grocery shelves. One establish
ment here Saturday night found its
shelves practically swept bare. An
other removed its stock of coffee
from the shelves and stored it out
of sight, Saturday, for regular trade
after transients started run on it.
Anyway we're not so iittery about
rationing since we tried it out on
sugar. All of us are getting all the
sugar we need and probably more
than is good for Us.
And when it comes to meat ra-
tioning they're talking about 21a
pounds a week. That would look big
most anyplace else in the world.

Tribute to a Dog

George Graham Vest (l83O-1904),
United States senator from Missouri
presented his famous Tribute to a
Dog IN jury oration while serv-
ing as attorney in the prosecution
OF man who wantonly shot a
nelghbor's pet. Although the plain
tiff had sued only for $500, the jury,
after celebrating for two minutes,
awarded $500.

And don't squawk about Argentina
having a surplus of meat-of course
they have-but that's in South
America.
And speaking of rationing there
is a story going the rounds of the
fellow who stacked 25 pound sacks
of sugar on the kitchen table and
then told the rationing official that
all the sugar he had was what was
on the table.
Another neat problem in tire ra-

Mayor Howe got big thrill when
he opened the September issue of
the American Legion magazine in
the column "Then and Now" Howe
found himself in the picture of his
unit in the World War No. | at
Savenay, France. 1t was picture
of the 18th Base Hospital staff and
sure enough there's the mayor
nearly 25 years younger.
1t takes technique to hitchhike
nowadays-what with fewer cars on
the road and men in uniform get
ting preference-but John Boehr,
former Bluffton college students
still gets places via the thumb
route-or rather the sign route to
be more nearly correct. John who
displayed neatly lettered sign
"Bluffton, please" came from AL
toona, Pa, to Beaverdam a distance
of $50 miles from a. m. to IL D. m.
one day last week-almost as quick
ly as he could have driven it him

One of the best stands of soybeans
we've seen is on the Peter C. Herr
farm two miles north on College

far enough apart to permit cultiva-

A lot of Bluffton people have been
wondering about that big plane
which swooped down over town at a
low altitude Monday morning shortly
before IL o'clock. Some who got a
glimpse of it described it as a bomb
er. The plane came so low that the
thunder of its motors shook build
ings. Perhaps the pilot was Bluff
ton boy greeting the old home town.
Double dip cones have become
very popular in recent years but an
eight dip cone is the rare pleasure
enjoyed by Harry Minck, high school
senior, who has been surprising soda
fountain clerks with the unusual re-

special skill in keeping that much
ice cream in one cone.
Several junior high school girls
have been helping clerk at the news

which Kermit Kibele was formerly

Her girl friends who also have been
clerking there are Colleen Goodman,
Peggy Martin, Alice Schmidt and
Louise Johnson.
Ray Grouse has always figured
that dogs should be more than just
