Reacting to a brighter aspect in
the fortunes of war, Bluffon area
residents will cast their cares aside
to the accompaniment of ringing
bells, shrilling whistles and footing
horns at midnight Friday in the
celebration of the passing of another
year and the ushering in of its sue

In keeping with the custom of the
community, there will be many
watch parties, and bands of carolers
will make their traditional rounds of
the town and the countryside, adding
color and cheerfulness to the New

New Years Eve carolling is ira
dition of long standing in the area,
and altho restrictions on tires and
gasoline limit the use of automobiles
in reaching isolated districts, there
has been no general curtailment of
this activity.
Theatre parties are being arranged
by other groups, and in some cases
the passing of the old year will be
observed by staying quietly at home
and listening to radio music in keep
ing with the season.

$4,000 DAMAGE IN
BARN---SHED FIRE
ON CHRISTMAS EVE.
Bank Barn, Implement Shed
And Contents Lost On
Jesse Hummon Farm
Family In Bed When Fire Is
Discovered; Livestock And
House Saved

A Christmas Eve fire causing
damages estimated at more than
$4,000 to buildings and contents razed
a large bank barn and implement
shed on the Jesse Humon farm, five
miles north of Bluffton in Union
township.
Discovered shortly before midnight
last Friday, the fire had gained so
much headway before the Bluffton
fire department arrived that it was
impossible to save either building.
The fire was discovered when mem
bers of the Hummon family noticed
a red glow reflected in their bedroom
after they had retired. The blaze
spread rapidly and altho the live
stock was saved there was no time
to remove anything else from the
burning structures.
Starts In Shed
Fire Chief Guy Corson reported
that the fire evidently started in the
implement shed, which adjoined the
barn. 1t had spread to the barn be-
fore being discovered and there was
no chance to save either.
Lost in the barn was a large
quantity of stored corn and hay, and
combine. Implements burned in
the shed included tractor, pickup
truck, an automobile and a wagon.
The car had been put in the shed
by Hummon about 7:30 p. M, and
no one was in the structure after
that time, the family said
A house on the Hummon farm was
burned Is years ago in fire that
occurred in July, 1927, and the
present structure was built to replace
it.
Loss in the barn fire was only
partly covered by insurance, Hum
mon reported. fs

IT ALL HAPPENED IN
BLUFFTON DURING 1913

restrictions ran varied course. drur-
ing the year.
Despite rigid tire and gasoline
rationing, the Bluffton auto tag
registrar sold more licenses than ever
prior to the 1943 deadline last April
/.
Rationing Hurts
Rationing really came into its own
during the year. Canned goods
rationing became effective on Feb. /,
and fresh meats went on the ration
list one month later.
Bread was sold unsliced for one
month in the spring. Then just after
everyone had finally found suitable
knives to cut their own, officials re-
Tented and bread was again sliced by
the baker.
Eggs were scarce and high in
price. At Easter they sold for 4C
cents dozen, contrast to 10 years
earlier when they brought IL cents
AS a result of conditions the usua
Easter egg hunt for kiddies was call.
ed off, and theatre party was helc
instead.
Thruout the year it was practically
impossible to get the services OF
plumbers, painters, carpenters, elec-
tricians, etc., except in emergencies,
and there was no such thing as labor
for odd jobs.
"Sign of the Times"
Another sign of the times was the
notice in the window of Buttons
only full-time shoe repair shop in
the fall, "Closed to catch up with
work Open to 6 p. m. for
deliveries only"
Withholding tax under the "pay-
as-you-go" program hit the pocket
book of every wage-earner in July.
Twenty-per-cent was deducted under
a bracket arrangement, that left
plenty of red faces when the town
council gave municipal light plant
employees a raise that kicked them
into the next classification and the
men actually took home less money
than they received previously.
Busy Bluffton folk had little time
for politics, and there was no August
primary for the first time in history
because no contests developed on
either ticket.
