Religious Bodies Observe Epiphany
Wednesday In Sacred Comrpemoration

our Santa Claus on the Epiphany and
on Thursday night millions of children
in those countries hang their clothes,
with empty pockets, about the hearth.
If they have been good, their Santa
fills the pockets with confectionery
and other presents, and if they have
been bad they get charcoal and birch
rods.
In France, Belgium and Holland

streets bearing a large paper star IL
Illuminated from within by a candle.
On the eve of the Epiphany in Spain,
the children leave their shoes and

near the chimney and in the morning
they find them laden with gifts.
England observes the memory of
the Magi's offering by games and eel

Commemorating the anniversary of
the three different occasions when
Christ manifested his glory, the
Epiphany, the 18th day after Christ
mas, will be observed this Thursday
by the various religious bodies of this
country.
In England, the observance is known
as Twelfth Night.
The three occasions when special
manifestation of the glory of Christ
appeared were: I'm His alteration
at the manger by the three wise men
from the East, or the Magi; Pin His
baptism when voice from heaven
proclaimed Him the son of God; Sin
the marriage at Cana, when He be-
gan His miracles by changing the
water into wine.
The word Epiphany, being Greek,
establishes the fact that this festival
is of Eastern origin, and in the
Greek church it has always been held
the most important religious observ-
ance next to Easter. The first men
tion of it occurs in the year 200 in the
writing of Clement of Alexandria.
In Italy and Russia children cele-
brate the arrival of the equivalent OF

Plenty OF Help Available 10 Assist
World War IL Vets In Finding Jobs

Employment Service, working with
Veterans Employment man. And in
the process he may find that his local
Clearing House Committee, working
closely with Government agencies, has
played a major part in his re-employ
ment.
The Clearing House Committees,
nationally organized, are not connect
ed with Government. In fact, no
Government official may be member.
The national committee represents Is
organizations, including the U. S..
Chamber of Commerce (senior and
junior), the "big three" labor organi-
cations, the National Association of
Manufacturers, veterans organiza-
tions, service clubs, farm groups and
others.
Present unemployment organiza-
ton and practice promises that when
our service men and women come
home, they will find that their job
seeking will not be a routine, aerial
numbered matter, but a personalized
problem.
Already there is congressional Leg
islation pending to give veterans mus
tering-out pay, loans to re-establish
them in business, guarantees of their
Social Security credit. The President
has asked that funds be provided to
help them continue their education,
and the request probably will be
granted.
The lazy guarantees veterans their
former jobs or one equally good. Civil
service assures them preferential
treatment. The u. S. Office of Edu-
cation is now offering short, intensive,
vocational training courses in 200 col
leges. The labor unions are protect
ing the seniority of their members in
the armed forces.
These aids, and others like them,
will help the new veterans over the
rough times ahead.

Servicemen in the various branches
of the armed branches of the armed
forces may be assured that plenty of
assistance will be available to help
them find work when their services
are terminated by an honorable dis
charge, in order to help Word War Ii
veterans over any rough times that
may be ahead.
One thing will be certain. If re-
turned serviceman can't find job
when he wants to take up his place in
industry again it won't be for lack of
an organization to help him look for
one.
In placing men on jobs, the Selec-
tive Service System will act in re-
verse, and it already is in operation
to help men who are returning to CIV
ilian life at the rate of 1000 a week.
Soldiers about to be discharged, for
example, are interviewed by a repre-
sentative of the Veterans Employ
ment Service. They fill out an occu-
pational and educational record.
Copies of the discharge report are
sent to five different agencies and the
soldier keeps one for himself.
When he gets home he looks up a
unemployment committeeman attach
ed to his local draft board.
Many are veterans of the last war
often with sons in the servic. They
remember the confusion of 1918, wher
the counterparts of our present WIPE
and OPA executives went home al
most as soon as the last shot wa:
fired; when Congress refused to ap
propriate any money for rehabilita
ton; when the returning AEF found
that soldiers in training camps a
home had been demobilized first ant
taken most of the best jobs. The.
don't want to see all this happel
again.
Our returned soldier will actuall,
get his job through the United States

Former RSBident
Writes From Oregon

An interesting letter from Amos
Amstutz, former Bluffton resident,
describes the Silverton, Oregon, area
where he has resided since he left
here 19 years ago on November 10.
In Silverton, Amstutz was a neigh
Dor for many years of Peter Herr,
who was an uncle to Dan and Peter
Herr, of Bluffton.
He writes: "Silverton is located in
the foothills of the Cascade noun
tains, and is the gateway to Silver
Falls state park. Thousands of
tourists visit the park during the
summer months. The town has a
population of about 5000 and the
main industry is numbering.
Zone of the largest mills in Oregon
is located here, and the town also
has a mop and broom handle factory
that turns out about 10000 handles
day. 1t is an interesting place for
visitors to see, but since the war no
one but workers is admitted.
Ever since Peter Herr passed
away the property has been rented
I never know who might be the next
neighbor. A year ago last Septem-
Der, Rev. William Schwab rented the
property. When boy he lived or
the old Abe Piyel farm. 1t feels
like home to have a Swiss neighbor

"Oregon is the country for the
sportsman. Bear, deer and elk are
killed during the hunting season. My
oldest son went on a hunting trip
about 300 miles east from here. Five
in the party returned in eight days
with two deer and two elk. The
deer weighed about IS pounds each
and a dressed elk weighs about 40t
pounds.
"Many hunters are injured in &C.
cidents every season, but all in my
son's' party returned home safe"

Social Security VIII
Help In Many Ways

Altho the Social Security Act has
been in operation for eight years,
and has been paying off since Jan. l.,
1910, many American persons still
look upon it only as something
designed to ease the financial cares
of those who retire from work after
age 65.
There are other benefits, however,
that do a world of good. Many
widows with young children have
found survivors insurance payments
provided to families under the Social
Security Act an unexpected windfall.
At present there are 284,063 re-
tired workers receiving benefits, but
this figure is topped by the 304,345
widows with children who are getting
checks.
Unemployment insurance, paid to
workers when they are unable to
find jobs, also comes under the social
security program, and such payments
have done a world of good.
Nearly 100000 persons, unable to
work and without sufficient income
to live on, receive payments under
another phase of Social Security
the public assistance branch. These
payments are made by each indivi-
dual state, but federal funds are dis
bursed to help the states, for the
care of needy aged, blind and de-
pendent children.

Rearing Child To
Is Costs $3.50

Rearing a child from birth to 18
years of age will cost the average
family about $3.50, it has been de-
termined by insurance statisticians.
Clothing and shelter represents the
principal item of cost, amounting to
$3357 for the 18-year period. Next
is an outlay of about $2270 for food.
transportation and recreation, the
third largest item of cost, aggregate
expenditure of $2126.
Cost of buying and maintaining the
family automobile brings the trans
portation and amusement figure to
a high total. In computing this sum,
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1944-01-06

one-fifth of the aggregate spent by
the family for transportation, ETC.,
was charged to rearing the child.
Medical care, including dentisty,
ETC., probably costs 1926 on an aver
age for the first Is years of a child's
life.
The family's cost of educating the
child was estimated at $3.50. This
figure covers only the Incidental ex
penses, and is reflection of how lit
tie parents have to pay in direct ex-
pense to put their children thru school.
Miscellaneous expenses cost anoth-
er 1927, and the cost of medical at
tention in hospital at birth, etc., adds
$500 more.
Out of 100000 children born, it is
estimated that 6213 die before their
18th birthday.
