South American Llama Provides
Meat, Milk, Transport And Clothing

There has always been good deal
of confusion as to the origin and the
classification of the various llamas,
but today scientists are in general
agreement that the llama and the
alpaca are the direct descendants
of the guanaco and the vicuna dis
tinct species.
The llama and the alpaca are be-
lieved to have been domesticated for
probably 200 years. We shall, how
ever, devote our attention this time
to the most important of the species,
the llama proper:
This animal hs been found only
in one region of the world-the
Andes range in South America, and
although it has been known to live
in captivity in ZOOS and experimental
stations, it thrives only at an alti-
tude of over 5000 feet.
Compared to its cousin the camel,
the llama is smaller and humpless.
An English scientist once remarked
that the llama had some of the
camel's properties and none of his
deformities.
The average llama weighs about
$50 pounds and is approximately
one-third the size of the Old World
camel.
The length of the body, which
tapers like that of a greyhound, is
about the same as its height, giving
the animal finely proportioned and
exceedingly graceful appearance.
The llama stands about four and
one-half feet high. Because of its
swan-like neck, it appears much tall
er than it actually is.
It's eyes are black and limpidly
soft, it has long, somewhat pointed
muzzle, a short mouse-color snout
dilated nostrils and erect ears, us.
ually tipped with white.
Its upper lip is cleft like that Of
the camel, the split being sufficiently
wide when the animal is feeding tx
expose its teeth.
It's lower lip is pendulous and it!
foot cleft, the forepart being armed
with two endurated spurs, which aiC
it to get along on the precipitou'
mountain paths. Finally, its fleece
is thick and coarse.

The Blufton Neacs presents
another IN the series OF an
usual features on South Amer
ica.-EDIToR
Tt has been said that the life of
the early Peruvians, only native
Americans to domesticate animals,
revolved to great extent around
the llama. Upon it they depended
for meat, milk, warm clothing and
transport; it was worshipped by
them, and they considered it the
source of all their riches.
This South American camel, in
fact, has much in common with the
Indians who accompany it, being not
only of very ancient race like them,
but also like them slow and silent,
proud and dignifed.
The llama is one of the four spe-
cimens of animals belonging to the
camel family in its South American
branch. The llama and the alpaca
are domesticated while the vicuna
and the guanaco run wild.

Improving Bluffton High Gridders
Will Play Celina Here On Friday

Bluffton Highs radidly improving
football team, which played its best
game of the season in losing to Van
Wert's defending league champions
last Friday, will meet Celina Highs
Bulldogs in another Western Buckeye
league tilt this Friday night on the
Harmon field gridiron.
1t will be the second home game
of the season for the inexperienced
Bluffton squad which has come far
since the opening of the season, and
altho the Pirates will be playing a
formidable foe the calibre of Celina's
team is not expected to be on a par
with that of Van Vert.
Celina lost its first league start last
week to st. Marys' rugged outfit, 1870
The decision marked st. Marys
fourth straight win of the season, and
the teams second in league play
This placed the Rough Riders in a tie
with Van Wert's defending champions
for first place in the loop.
Celina will have the edge in ex.
perience and weight, but the Blufftor

team has been shaping up fast in the
last two weeks and will give the Wis
itors plenty of headaches in re-
sumption of play in the local stadium
after the Pirates had appeared away
from home during the last two weeks.
At Van Vert last Friday night, the
Pirates went down before Van Wert's
juggernaut, 26 to 6, after trailing at
halftime, 20 to 0.
1t was a great second half come
back on the part of the Burckymen,
who played the last two periods on
even terms with the much heavier
Cougar outfit after two touchdowns
had been made on passes and one on
line play in the earlier stages of the
game.
Buttons touchdown in the third
quarter came as climax to a bril-
liant 82-yard scoring march in which
Zimerly and Swank alternated in lug
ging the ball. Zimmerly finally went
over from the Vineyard line on ar
off-tackle play to give Bluffton its
lone touchdown.

The llama has a tremendous per-
sonality-it asks for little or moth
ing, hardly ever drinks-a camel
like-trait-and thrives on the poorest
of grasslands,
Although essentially patient and
docile it is one of the proudest and
most self-respecting of animals.
Noting the llama's air of disdain, it
is not surprising to hear that should
a pack animal be loaded with more
than 100 pounds it will lie down
and refuse to bulge.
Nor can the elegant creature be
hurried on the trail. 1t tolerates its
Indian attendant of necessity, but a
stranger presuming to approach the
presence is likely to find himself
halted by a well aimed spray of
highly offensive saliva.
In coloring, the llamas vary from
black to cream passing through a
variety of blacks and browns. They
possess amusing ready-made pads
on their front knees for kneeling
when lowering themselves to rest.
The number of llamas in existence
today is estimated at two million in
Bolivia, about million in Peru and
another hundred thousand distribut-
ed through Ecuador, Chile and Ar
gentina.
They are owned almost exclusively
by Indians, who alone appear to be
able to understand and manage them.
They have a deep affection for the
llamas which they decorate with rib
bons and bells and fondle as we
would dogs.
In pre-Colonial days everything
pertaining to the llama was gov.
erned by strict regulations and the

DEE-tail tensh-HUT!!! REE. port!
 It was cold, gray morning in the middle of April that your re- porter first set eyes on the top-kick of Section G. His booming voice reused us from our pre-reveille reverie and from that day to the present time Section c has had to clear the cobwebs from it's collec- tive brains before that terrible thunder. Who is the man behind the roar? None other than First Ser geant John E. Ginty, Jr.
 John was born in West Orange, New Jersey, on the second of Cc- tober, 1918, just forty days before the end of World War I. The first eleven years of his life were spent in that fruitful city and in 1929, he moved to the garden spot of America" Brooklyn. He completed his grammar and high school ed ucation there and matriculated at St. Johns University with a BBA degree in view. In 1940, when the whirlpool of war began to draw this country into the middle of the conflict, Sgt. Ginty interrupted his studies to enlist in the Infantry at Fort Wadsworth Staten Island.
 The next four years of his life read like Cooks tour of the Unit ed States Army installations. He was sent to Sea Girt, New Jersey, and the Edgewood Arsenal, Mary land, prior to embarking for Puerto Rico, where he started the New Year in 1941. His stay in Puerto
