Nazi hordes were already moving into the city.
The Vendome side of the Ritz was taken
over by German officers Goering and his
staff stopped there, and the whole hotel took
on a mournful air, which was only intensified
by the invaders champagne orgies. They

Women Should Keep
Household Records

With the necessity for filling out
various types of governmental forms
increasing constantly, it is becoming
important for the housewife to have
a system of record keeping.
Filling out blanks required to get
rationed articles calls for answers
to such questions as how much su-
gar was used in canning, how much
kerosene did you burn last year, and
what amount of fuel oil do you re-
quire. Before March Is, some MEM
Der of most households will have to
tell Uncle Sam such things as the

thing or taking train. 1t always
feels pretty good to get back to the
easy going little community of
Bluffton.
Paul Sauder, Bluffton college
freshman from Grabill, Ind, is a
very persuasive young man. He
brought his English setter dog with
him the other day on the train and
decided to hitch hike 70 Bluffton
from Lima. The dog was Grated and
it was impossible to bring him
along. Paul was picked up by a
big semi-trailer truck and when he
told the truck driver about the dog
at the railroad station the driver
turned the big truck around, picked
up the dog at the station and de-
livered Paul and dog to Lincoln hall
safe and sound. Paul, who is a
sports enthusiast, is having Fred
Tschantz take care of his dog while
in Bluffton.
Earl Frick, John Klay, Kenneth
Bracy built a dam near Big Rock
east of town on Riley creek. Every
thing went fine until the other day
when one of the boys fell in and had
to dry off at the Frick residence.
Little Ralph Steiner, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Wilbur Steiner is having
a big time these days with two
frisky Cocker Spaniels, both gifts
from Santa. Wilbur says that one
dog in household is enough so he
is going to sell the other. Cookers
are more than household pets. They
make excellent retrievers and as a
hunting dog excel many other breeds.
Some day Wilbur and Ralph will
have many pleasant hunting expedi-
tions in the Bluffton area fields.
Town kids always have a good
time playing in the haymow when

but only one woman out Of hundreds
has the book. Every woman has to
become an author to get the right
answers to such questions. All evi-
dence at present indicates the need
for household records will become
greater before the end of 1943.
One reason for keeping accounts
is to get information about appor-
tioning the income among the many
different items of expense. There
will be no problem about spending
money because purchase of bonds
and war stamps will absorb any bal
ance left after living costs are met.
Satisfactory household records can
be kept in simplified account books
so the homemaker does not need
set of ledgers. Extension agents in
Ohio counties can supply an ac-
count book which was designed espe-
ciaiiy for home bookkeeping.

Quoted the meeting in the hall which
was jammed with at least 500 farm
ers and sportsmen. Food piled high
on tables was ample for the hungry
throng and the pickerel sandwiches
were tops over many similar oc-
casions. Motion pictures in color on
a moose hunt in the wilds of
northern Canada taken by M. R.
Mertz were enjoyed thoroughly by
the crowd. An old time fiddler's
band supplied plenty of poppy music
for the gathering. Those Bluffton
sportsmen attending the affair were:
Herb Rupright, Nelson Herr, Frank
Hartman, Dallas Berry, Gene Ben
roth, Charles Sheidler, Denver Augs-
burger, Albert Garmatter, and Silas
Diller.
The Club directors are renewing
the membership at speedy clip,
reports Gerald Huber, club secretary
and membership director The other
day he made the statement that he
would be needing additional books of
tickets for distribution if the demand
keeps up. Last year the club had
301 members. This year 500 tickets
have been printed and at present in
dications the additional 200 members
will be enrolled on the books before
the year is over.
Last year Ted Biery and Dallas
Berry had a little deal a cookin'!
Seems as though Ted joined the club,
but was able to finagle a provision
from Berry to the following effect:
On the back of Ted's membership
card was this statement, Il hereby
agree to present to the owner of
this membership card one mess of
fresh dressed fish on demand. Sign
ed Dallas Berry" Well, Ted de-
manded repeatedly through the fish
ing season and even when there was
no open season, but to no avail.
Berry tried to pay off. He spent
several days carp fishing, with the
hope that Ted would not be able to
tell the difference between these
pond hogs and blue gills, after prop
erly dressing them. The fact is
ne spent the whole year and did not
even get a catch at one time suf-
ficient to be even classed as "a mess

short Berry paid off the other day.

denly was inspired to the extent that

Trees for War

Here is one very important reason
for conserving our natural resources.
Unbelievable as it may seem, a study
of the present war effort by the
American Forestry Association re-
veals that five mature trees are re-
quired to equip and maintain each
man in our armed forces. These
trees are allotted as follows:
"One tree is needed for his living
quarters, mess hall, chapel, and rec
reational facilities. Another pro-
vides the wooden crates necessary in
shipping him food, clothing, tanks,
guns, and ammunition. Wood from
the three remaining trees will be
used for making necessary equip
nlent used in waging modern war
fare; wood cellulose in high ex-
plosives, wood in training planes,
wood in gun stocks, ship yards,
factories, and many other essential
items.
"By the end of 1912, some twenty
million trees from our forests will
be in the war industry, backing up
our fighting forces. If these trees
were standing 10 abreast and 10 feet
apart they would reach from New
York to San Francisco"
