8O-YEAR-OLD lADV'S
RHEUMATIC PAINS GO!
She PRAISES RHU-AID

Recently an 80-year-old lady liv-
ing near here stated that she almost
suffered death with rheumatic pains
in her whole right side. When she
tried to walk she would simply finch
with agony and says she had become
just "bundle of nerves" due to her
long period of suffering. She bought
all kinds of medicines but yhothing
seemed to work on her until she got
RHU-AID. She statesf She was
amazed at the results when she got
this medicine. INay the rheumatic
pains have gobe from her entire
right side. She can walk without
suffering for the first time in years
and says her nerves are "strong as
STEEL" She feels like a new woman.
RHU-AID is the new liquid form
ula containing three valuable med
ical ingredients. These Three Great
Medicines, all blended into one, go
right to the very cause of rheu-
matte and neuritic aches and pains.
Miserable people soon feel different
all over. So don't go on suffering!

Albert Baumgartner has a per-
sonal interest in the Byrd Antarctic
expedition now enroute to explore
the south polar region. The other
day he received holiday greeting
card from 1t. Commander w. E.
Pomfrey who is member of the
expedition on the U. S. S. Mount
Olympus. Pomfrey was a former
teacher in the Painesville schools
where Baumgartner's son Allan also
was an instructor. The card was
sent as the Mount Olympus was
sailing thru the Panama canal.

to see the December number of Hol-
iday, the new slick-paper magazine
which has become popular overnight,
you'll be interested in knowing that
a picture in color of Tim, 5-year-old
son of the Oliver Lochers of Lake
Worth, Florida, appears on Page 20.
His picture appears in connection
with an article on Florida, depicting
a group of juvenile swimmers at
West Palm Beach. Tim is third

Bluffton residents moved to Florida
several years ago where Oliver is
employed in Lake Worth bank.

first of the season that fell Sunday
night gave Bluffton its pre-vue of a
white Christmas, even tho it lasted
barely twenty-four hours and
ten days ago folks were moving
their lawns :. and speaking of
Christmas, they say the Bluffton
teachers will not wait until Christ
mas eve to hang up their stockings
they will do it Friday night when
the school board meets to consider
how much of the two-mill levy vot-
ed last month will go into pay
checks Christmas mail has
started-the morning train Monday
brought in more than three times
the regular volume which kept all
hands busy at the post office :.
and last warning Christmas
comes but once a year-and that's
next week-so don't put off your
late shopping.
You're familiar with the advertis-
ing slogan Something has been
added'-well, this was the reverse,
for Something was missing" at the
Bluffton-Ada high school basketball
game last Friday night at Ada.
Missing was Sidney Stettler, veter-
an faculty manager who was ailing
with a slight cold-nothing serious
but didn't make the trip with the
team. This, incidentally is the
fourth basketball game which Sid
has missed in 20 years-which, it
seems establishes something of a
record.
And speaking of records-there
were several of them hung up at the
| Messiah concert Sunday afternoon.
OF course there was the crowd-esti-
mated at 1900 which was one of the
largest, late comers turned away
and then there was the Halle
luiah~chorus three times-frst when
| the technicians making the recording
for the Findlay radio station missed
part of it-second a section of the
chorus missed another part-and the
third time everything went 0. K.
:. and then as we said in pre-
vious item in this column-some-
thing was missing j. and that
something was the absence of C. d.
Amstutz in the bass section. He
has been a member of the Choral
society ever since it was organized
more than 40 years ago and has
sung in all of the previous 45 rendi-
tions of the Messiah however,
he was in the audience, as was also
Oswin Luginbuhl of Lima and Kent
Hauenstein of Marion who played in
the orchestra more times than we
can remember and also in the

A FINE RECORD
Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
Concerning my resignation, the
only fear / hold is the fact that
the people may think that / let
them down. / greatly appreciate
the confidence they had in elect
ing me to the office and while
/ have made mistakes in the
past few months, can truthfully
say that ! have worked for the
best interests of the city. / have
fulfilled all of my promises ex7
cept one, and that was fire pro-
lection for the Poinciana area
But City Manager King informed
me Just three days ago, that the
equipment was ready to be
transferred as soon as a build
ing was granted to house it. /
worked hand in hand with Chief
of Police Eisner on the radio
and otherwise, to create the PAL
organization. 1t is a wonderful
plan
/ produced the ordinance
which calls for five dollar cost
of court. / know this has helped
to defray the city court expenses
to great degree. l worked faith
fully and hard in securing park
ing meters, and I feel that they
have relieved the parking prob
lens that confronted us in the
shopping district. fathered the
auto inspection ordinance, which
aside from the approximate nine
thousand dollars it nets the city,
is invaluable for the protection
of life and property. While ]
! claim credit for the above meas
ures, / fully realize it was made
possible only through the back
ing of my fellow commissioners.
/ am proud to have been able to
do something for the town that |
love and hope for. ! succeeded
in getting the Jaycees to sponsor
an annual Police Ball. Jack De-
Ianey, Chief Eisner and myself
worked many a night in securing
entertainment, contributions and
perfecting plans for this event.
The new uniforms the police
now wear were bought with the
benefits from this performance.
Every chance got, pestered
the administration for a raise in
police salaries, which they final
ly received. My chief ambition
was to give the city better and
more respected police force. l
am sorry to see all of my hopes
shattered, as this department will
soon stink more than ever. It is
ironicaI, when / think after all
my efforts, that this department
has been directly responsible for
my resignation. Mr.. King was the
doctor we sent for, and it's a
shame that we couldn't take the
medicine he prescribed. He has
treated many a city with the same
ailments as Key West has and
they fully recovered. 1t is more
than a tragedy that Key West has
to go backwards at least a year
in progress. We viii never get
a good manager as long as the
charter is interpreted as at pres
ent. At least he viii not stay
with us for long.
