DOOR STILL open.
FOR JEFFERSON.
STREET PROJECT.
Highway Dept. Will Proceed If
Town Will Pay Its Share
OF The Cost
Next Move Up To Municipality
In Impasse Resulting From
No-Cost Rider

That the state highway depart
ment has not closed the door to an
agreement with Buttons town coun-
Gil on the resurfacing of jefferson
street was learned from responsible
sources the first of the week.
However, if the improvement is to
be included in this summers program
the council will have to take early
action in accepting the highway de-
partment's original proposal which
was previously turned down, it was
indicated in state highway quarters.
Indications are, however, that there
will be no change in the towns posi-
tion on the matter. The next sched-
uled meeting of the council will be
September 10, which would delay any
work until late. in the fall. Mayor
w. A. Howe when contacted on the
situation was non-committal.
Towns CoST ABOUT 500
Total cost of the three-quarter
mile street Improvement program
was estimated at S535, and according
to usual procedure the towns share
of the expenditure would be about
500.
An impasse in the proposal to re-
surface the street was reached early
in the summer when the municipal
council approved the highway de-
partment's application to include the
work on its summer program, on con-
dition that the town would be re-
lieved of sharing any part of the
cost.
Since drafting of the stipulation,
there have been no further negotia-
tions between the town and the high
way department, but highway spokes-
men indicated this week that if the
municipality would act soon to ac-
cept the initial proposition without
the no-cost rider, there was every
possibility that the work would be
completed before winter.
PART OF ROUTE 103 PROJECT
Proposed resurfacing of Jefferson
street was part of an improvement
to State Route 103, which follows
that thorofare from the County Line
road to Main street inside the cor
poration limits.
Asphalt resurfacing of three miles
of Route 103 from the corporation
line east to State Route SO already
has been completed, but no work was
done on Jefferson street inside the
town.
Another resurfacing program in
this area included in the state high
way program was on the Dixie high
way near Rawson. On the Dixie
two and one-half miles of the high
way were resurfaced from the Tawa
creek bridge.

Clocks In BlufftOn Will Be Set Back
One Hour Early Next Sunday Morning


Facing the prospect of almost en-
tirely rebuilding the Bluffton High
school football team for the 1945
season, Coach A. c. Burcky has been
hard at work with a squad of 28
candidates at Harmon field during
the last week.
Lack of experience and of weight
will be the two greatest handicaps
faced by this years team in a
schedule which pits them against
some of the best Glass A outfits in
this district.
Opening tilt of the season still is
two weeks in the offing, with a
contest with Kenton slated for Fri
day night, Sept. IA, on the Harmon
field gridiron.
Only six lettermen are returning,
and with three of them from last
years backfeld, Bluffton Highs line
has been practically riddled by grad
uation and losses to the armed forces.
Harold Amstutz, monogram
wearer, who had reported for open
ing practice this week was notified
of his induction in the armed forces
which meant the loss of another vet
eran who would have helped to plug
the gaps on the line.
Veterans who are returning lack
the weight that was represented in a
group consisting of Niswander, Trip
plehorn, Newland, Steiner, Klassen,
Althaus and Herr, all of whom were
lost by graduation or induction into
the armed forces, and Buttons team
this year will be the lightest in many
a season.
Lettermen returning include Swank,
Moser, Reagan, w. Sommer, Hart
man and H. Basinger.
Others with previous squad ex-
perience are H. Hilty, Smucker,
Lewis, Which, Frick, Howe, Coon,
Pogue, Kirkland, M. Hilty, Fisher,
r. Diller, Fritchie and Grouse.
Newcomers are Which, w. Som
mers, Burkholder, w. Diller, Duni-
fon, Fish, Bixel, Bracy and Buhler.

for the fall term with full day of
class work starting at $3.50 a. m.

No Faculty Changes
With most schools in the state re-
porting a shortage Of teachers,
Bluffton is one Of the few where
there have been no faculty changes
during the last year, and as result
classroom schedules will differ little
from those of the 1944-45 term,
Supt. Lanham said.
Wartime shortage of teachers is
reflected here in only one depart
ment, and for the second successive
year the local high school viii not

CANNING TO THOSE
WHO GOT 5 POUNDS
New Allotment Will Make Mini
mum of 10 Pounds
Per Person
Only Application Required Is
Letter Citing Need For
Sugar

Additional canning sugar now is
available for Bluffton and Allen
county residents who received their
original allotments on the basis of
only five pounds per person, it is an
nounced by w. F. Watts, chief clerk
of the County OPA division.
Only those ration book holders who
were limited to five pounds of cam
ming sugar will be eligible. to apply
for the supplementary sugar, OPA
officials explained.
Application for the additional
sugar can be made by a written re-
quest, with a statement that only five
pounds of sugar have been issued to
each member of the family circle and
that additional sugar is required for
canning. No form is required, and
the application can be made in
simple letter covering the above
facts.
One signature from a family is
sufficient for all names in the FAM
lily group.
MAIL To LIMA
The written requests should be
mailed to the Office of Price Admin
istration, High and Elizabeth streets,
in Lima. There is no need to file
them in person. Applications will be
accepted until October 81, and sugar
stamps granted will be valid until
November 80.
Ration book holders who were sue
cessful in obtaining early season al
lotments of 10 and 20 pounds per
person can not apply for additional
canning sugar at this time, the an
nouncement pointed out.
Fifteen pounds per person was the
maximum amount allotted by the
Allen county board which was re-
ceived by about one-third of the APP
plicants. The others received 5 and
10 pounds per capita.
Anyone who has not vet applied
loI 1dIi1iiS sugar may dO 30 dl THIS
time by filing the regular application
blank and attaching spare stamp No.
1S for each member of the family
and with the rationing boards APP
proval they may obtain as much as
10 pounds of sugar per person.
STocKPILE INCREASES

ming sugar was made possible be-
cause the canning sugar stockpile for
Northwestern Ohio has been built up
to include a reserve of 2,133,000
pounds that can now be released.
Altho the canning sugar reserve
has improved, the general sugar sit
uation remains tight, and no relaxa-
tion of present controls is expected
for at least the remainder of this
year.
For the next four months, each ra-
tion book holder will be permitted
only five pounds of sugar, with.
Sugar Stamp No. 38 in Ration Book

Town Will Make Change To
Slow Time Officially At
800 A. vi.
Churches, Business and Schools
Change To New Time
Schedule

Bluffton families will gain an hour
of sleep next Sunday, for they will
gc to bed Saturday night by fast
time, which has prevailed here for
the summer months, and get up the
next morning by slow time.
Officially the change in time be-
comes effective at 8 a. m. Sunday
when the town clock will be set back
one hour, but most residents will
make the change on their home time
pieces before retiring Saturday
night.
Churches will convene on slow
time Sunday morning, and industries
and business houses will be on the
new time schedule when they begin
operations for the week following
the Labor Day holiday.
Bluffton schools, opening for the
fall term on Tuesday morning, alsc
will operate on slow time, and start
of school are on that basis. This
permits daylight operation for school
buses.
The post office will adjust its
hours to slow time, and mail deliver
les to home will be on that schedule
beginning Tuesday morning.
Principal confusion resulting from
the return to slow time is expected
so far as railroad and bus schedules
are concerned, for they will continue
to operate on Eastern War Time,
which will be one hour faster than
Buttons clocks.
Radio stations generally will
continue on fast time, and beginning
next Sunday many radio programs
will be heard one hour earlier than
during the summer months.
Return to slow time this fall is
conformity to a municipal ordinance
adopted nearly two years ago, which
provides for observance of fast time
in the town from the last Sunday in
April to the first Sunday in Septem-
Der.
Whether the ordinance will be
continued in effect now that the wal
is over is a matter of conjecture, but
so far there has been no intimatioI
from the town council as to its view:
of the matter.

More Meat Available And Mar
kets Adjust Schedules OF
Operation
Poultry Scarcity May Turn into
Surplus As Controls Are
Lifted

General easing of rationing, re-
flected by some relaxation of restric-
tions on many products, as a further
development in the country's adjust
ment to peace-time basis, apparent
here during the last week.
Meat is becoming more plentiful,
and for the first time since the meat
shortage reached critical stage here
early in June, markets will be open
every day except Thursday.
Further easing of rationing re-
strictions was contained in the an
nouncement that beginning next Mon
day monthly slaughtering quotas on
all non-federally inspected packing
houses will be increased: beef, 100 to
lbs per cent of the 1914 base period !;
calves, 10 to 100 per cent and hogs
from 90 to 65 per cent.
POULTRY PLENTIFUL
Likewise poultry which has been
practically off the market for months
will be back on the Sunday dinner
table in normal to large quantities
soon. The Agriculture Department
in Washington has withdrawn almost
all controls on its chicken procure
ment program for the armed forces
in 21 states, an action which some
dealers said may create a surplus in
the near future.
Kerosene, now available without
rationing, is being used again in
Bluffton's mosquito control program,
and will help simplify the job during
the remainder of the summer. Kero-
sene was one of the principal ingred-
tents used in spraying Bluffton
creeks until its use was barred by
rationing.
ROAD OIL AVAILABLE
Road oil is available in unlimited
quantities, state highway department
officials announced this week, and
probably will be used generally on
road improvement projects in this
area during the fall.
Strangely enough, buying of can
ned and processed foods has fallen
off since blue point rationing was
discontinued with the close of the
war, survey of local grocers showed
this week.
Plenty of fresh fruits and vege-
tables now are available in stores
and from Victory gardens and may
be one of the principal factors in
the slump, altho with no restrictions
on future purchases many household
ers are using stocks they have ac-
cumulated before buying more.

Arrangements are being made to

announced the first of the week that
representatives of the state conser-
vation department will be here for
the occasion.
Free fishing will be available all
day, but the feature events of the
program will start at 4 p. m. with a
bait casting show BY Lima sports
men and a fire fighter show.
