Something new to most Bluffton
people is the cactus raised by Mrs.
Mary Matter of Garau street and ex-
hibited in the Bluffton News window.
1t is called the Star of Bethlehem be-
cause of the five-pointed star-shaped
brown blossom and in the center of
which is a smaller blossom also in
the shape of five-pointed star.

And when it comes to growing some
thing unusual, there's Nightwatch

pear seeding some IL inches high at
his home on West Elm street. 1t grew
from seed which Murray planted in

been transplanted into a large flower
pot on his porch.

Marines have no abbreviation and
they are the Marine Corps Woman's
Reserve-MCWR-which doesn't spell
anything. That's what Pfc. Della
Pifer told us the other day. Pfc.
Pifer is here from Santa Ana, Calf,
visiting her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ami Pifer of Orange township.
Bluffton voters have always sup
ported the three mill school levy by
large majorities and taking its cue of
the future from the past, the county
treasurer's office is assuming that the
same thing will happen at the election
next month. Accordingly, it has al
ready computed the levy and included
it in the collection for the December
tax. This was done early in order to
eliminate a last minute clerical rush
which would come if the work were
left until after the November election.
Rev. Delbert Welty and Mrs. Welty
in town Monday enroute from
Altoona, Pa, to see the home folks in
Iowa. Delbert is one of the hardy
perennials with whom time deals
lightly. He attended college here 25
years ago-graduated in 1921-so if
you can remember way back when he
was king-pin man on the athletic
teams you're something of an old-tim-
er yourself. You see Delbert came
along about the time the athletic
crown was laid aside by Laffe West
who was one of Buttons all time
luminaries-and speaking of West he
now holds a most responsible position
with the Spalding firm manufacturers
of athletic equipment and lives with
his family in Wheaton, Ill.,, Chicago
suburb.
The Goth annual Putnam county fair
is on at Ottawa this week. From
small beginnings way back in 1855
when it comprised a handful of ex-
hibits of grain and livestock it has
grown to be Northwestern Ohio in
stitution. Fairs come and go but the
annual fair at Ottawa continues on
in good times and bad and thru war
and peace. Closely identified with the
fair and one who did much to make
it the institution that it is was the
late A. P "Put" Sandles. Sandles, a
born promoter preached in season and
out that "The Rainbow Comes Down
in Ohio" and did much to publicize
advantages of his native state and
county.
Speaking of long sea voyages,
TIA Max McCafferty had one that
he will always remember. Max was
on the water Al days, he wrote to
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Nc
Cafferty, south of Biuffton. His out
fit was transferred from Marseilles,
France to the Philippines and Max
is now located miles south of Man
lila as cook for a motor vehicle unit.
Enroute to the Philippines they
stopped at New Guinea.
Another area boy in the Philip
pines is Kenneth Walters, whose
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Enos Walters
of Mt. Cory received a cablegram
several days ago that he is stationed
in camp 30 miles from Manila.
Earl Jorg, Bluffton hatcheryman,
back from a motor trip to eastern
Pennsylvania says the gas shortage
was most noticeable in eastern Ohio,

 BACK HOME

OAKLAND, Calf, Sept. 12 = "Pappy" Boyington is back with his Black Sheep Squadron again.
 The swashbuckling, 26 -pla n e Marine Ace had no sooner landed at the Oakland Airport this morn- ing than he was grabbed by 18 of his former buddies and paraded on their shoulders around the run way
 Twenty one other passengers aboard the naval air transport plane were virtually ignored by the crowd
 It was Gregory Boyington, 32, an almost legendary figure from the early days of aerial warfare in the Southwest Pacific, that the people wanted to see.
 Pappys face broke into a broad grin as he poked his head from the door of his plane and saw the men with whom he made aerial history.
 This is the most wonderful thing that has happened to me-" he shouted.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 The House voted today to turn the nations clocks back one hour on Sept. 30, while the Senate was being told the Army wants the draft to continue until next July.

 Under Secretary of War Patter- son told the legislators the Army expects to get about 500,000 men through the draft by next July l, which would be about 45000 a month of men IS through 25.
 Asked if he thought the draft would have to continue that long, he said he did,

PROGRESS IN
 NWF DRIVE

The long and careful planning, together with the splendid local organization of the National War Fund, are beginning to show re- suits. The campaign in Juneau and Douglas opened Monday, and less than 48 hours later fund solicitors were making reports of excellent progress.
 "Our initial reports of totals to date" Frank Hermann, Chairman of the campaign for the Gastineau area, announced this morning, will be made Friday of this week. It should represent very encouraging sum. From every part of the com munity the contributions are start ing to pour in"
 Tn any big drive like this. one of the indications of its ultimate suc- cess is the speed with which certain divisions finish their entire solicit ing job. It looks now as if a large number of individuals will have completed their work by tomorrow. This means that several divisions probably will be going lover the top" well before the end of the week
 Solicitors are unanimous on one thing: everyone approached is anxious to do his or her full share The only question fin anyone's mind seems to be to determine the exact extent of the need. The huge task still facing the country before the work of the War Prisoners Aid, the USO and the relief agencies in the United Nations can be com pleted is gradually becoming clear. Confronted with this fact, our people are responding generously" :" MT. Hermann said.
