He added that "this situation

Tie the first spray secure ly with binder twine. or if you have it, fine spool wire. Add successive groups of sprays, facing them in the same direction as the first spray and being certain to tie them se- curely, too. Watch the outline of the wreath as you proceed, so the greens are evenly distributed and the con tour of the circle is preserved,
 Some irregularities and punching may of course occur regardless of how careful your work is. These can be corrected by using shears to trim off excess foliage.
 After the wreath is finished it is still possible to add decorative fea- lures, such as pine cones, berries or small fruits. These should be wired at the stems and then fastened securely to the wreath.
 Sizes and types of wreaths will de- pend on the materials available and to a certain extent on the family's geographical location. But many variations on the basic design will suggest themselves, once the prof. ect of wreath-making is undertaken.

 First, if is wise 10 decide the size of the wreaths you want and then work from there.

be mounted on a good grade of stiff paper with your personal greetings either printed by hand or written. The use of an ink of contrasting color from the paper will help illuminate the card.
 Or better still, use a photograph of the new baby in the family as the subject of your card. This will be, especially attractive to. absent relatives who have not yet seen the new arrival. Pictures of pets, too, are effective The new puppy, the recently born kittens or the faithful collie will all make subjects that will kindle lively personal in terest in the heart of the recipient.
 Lots of fun and variety will re- suit if every member of the family from the youngsters to the adults tries his or her hand at designing a personal Christmas card. Collabora- tions, too, wit. several of the family contributing ideas, are worth while. If any member of the family has sketching ability, this can be turned to good account in reproducing family scenes and characters that will lend novel in- terest to a card Family hobbies, oc- equations or recreations can thus be represented.

Bluffton high school boys learned
Friday night. Off to see a baseball
game the youths on their return
trip stopped at gasoline station
some 90 miles from home and to
their dismay found they had lost
their only remaining gas stamp.
No stamp, no gas" said the filling
station man. An appeal to the police
for gas aroused suspicious that they
were driving a stolen car and result
ed in long distance telephone call
to Nightwatch Murray here. A
checkup with parents of the boys
around midnight proved that the
boys had not misrepresented them
selves and arrangements were made
with the officers for enough gasoline
to get home-barely enough it was,
for the youths drove all the way
from Cridersville to Biuffton with
the indicator of the fuel tank show
ing empty.
If you're looking for the unusual
in pets, We might suggest a live
vigorous rattlesnake like the one
which Charles Tripplehorn has at
his home on South Main street.
Snakes of the non-poisonous variety
are nothing new at the Tripplehcrn
home-in fact they have many of
them-but a rattler is something
different. Charles obtained the
reptile on a field trip near Mt.
Victory in Hardin county, Sunday.
In memory of 1t. Gerald Triple
horn, Bluffton airman killed in

entitled Treasury of Modern Best

the book appears the inscription "In
memory of 1t. Gerald w. Triple

his Great Co-Pilot in a mission over
Leyte on November Is, 1944".
An unusually large collection of
weapons which the Nazis used in the
European war is exhibited in the
window of the Basinger furniture
store. The collection was sent by
Sgt. Dick Wenger who is with Pat
tons army and includes a rifle,
knives, bayonets and dagger all of
which are in excellent condition
despite the long years of war.
With war coming daily nearer
Japan, concern is felt for 1t. David
Kliewer, former Bluffton marine air
man who is being held in Zentsuji
prison camp on Shikoku, one of the
japanese home islands. This is
reported to beone of their largest
prison camps and contains men of
many nationalities. 1t. Kliewer was

Meat rationing is having all sorts
of unusual repercussions these days,
not the least of which is its effect
on meat-eating pets which are hav-

Perhaps the most unusual are a

belonging to Miss M'Della Moon of
the college biology department. Meat
in their diet is provided by ration
points from their caretaker. Since
the meat situation has become acute,
however, the turtle may be turned
loose and left to shift. The alliga-
