little f1iers who staged the first air
raid over Tokyo was the son of a
former Bluffton girl? He was
James Jimmie" Fennimore, 10 year
old son of Mrs. Lena (Griffith) Fen
nimore now living in Williamson,
West Virginia. She is a sister of
Esmond Griffith, Bluffton night po-
lice. Young Fennimore, nephew of
the Bluffton police officer, is close
friend and associate of Doolittle
and was with his aerial operations
thruout the war.
After living in the same COM
munity for year without knowing
of each others presence, two former
| Bluffton high school teachers dis
covered they were neighbors thru
the coincidence of dialing the wrong
telephone number. George Sigg, in
structor in vocational electricity
here in 1941-42 in attempting to
call the residence of a friend in
East Lansing, Mich, thru an error
got the telephone number of Orden
Smucker, also a former Bluffton
high school instructor. Sigg's query
"You aren't the Smucker who used
to live in Bluffton?" established the
identity of the two parties and re-
suited in considerable reminiscing.
Sigg, until recently was an elec-
tronics instructor in Lansing Tech
nical high school and is leaving this
week for a similar position at North
Dakota State college in Fargo.
Smucker is on the faculty at Mich
igan State college in East Lansing.
We were asked the other day
where Allen county got its name. To
the best of our knowledge, it was
named for Ethan Allen, Revolution
ary soldier and patriot whose broth
er Ira was one of the founders of
the state of Vermont. If any of
the readers of this column have any
more detailed information on this
point, we will be glad to publish it..
Speaking of counties, you might
be interested to know that many of
them in Northwestern Ohio are
named for noted men or events
closely connected with them. For
instance, Defiance county gets it's
name from the fort of that name,
the latter having been christened by
Gen. Anthony Wayne in defiance of
the Indians whom he defeated at
Fallen Timbers, near Maumee.
Lucas was named for former
governor. Robert Fulton, inventor
of the steamboat was honored when
Fulton county's name was chosen.
Paulding, Williams and Van Vert
counties were named for John
Paulding, David Williams and Isaac
Van Vert, the continental soldiers
who captured Major Andre of the
British army thus preventing Bene-
dict Arnold from surrendering
West Point to the British.
Just as matter of record, events
thus far have pretty well followed
the long range weather prediction

artistry-and they sell like the pro-
verbal hot cakes.
Wonder how many Bluffton peo-
pie know that Rembrandt, celebrated
Dutch painter of the seventeenth
century was a Mennonite. We just
learned it the other day from a
non-Mennonite.
Also we heard that Dode Murray
who served as marshal in the early
days never fired a revolver or shot
gun during his four years of Office
which speaks well for Buttons
record during those turbulent times
and also speaks well for the tact
with which he must have handled
his job.
And Joy Huber, former Bluffton-
ite now living in Hanckensack, New
Jersey, near the George Washington
bridge over the Hudson river lead
ing into New York city, says it
takes AZ men four years to give the
huge span two coats of paint-and
when they finish the painting job at
the end of four years, it's time to
start over again giving it another
two coats.

Dull Battles is one Bluffton News
advertiser who will never complain
about the pulling power of advertis-
ing in the columns of this news
paper. He inserted an advertise
ment for pop corn and, much to his
surprise, received an order for 20
pounds from Hobbs, New Mexico.
Popcorn is so scare there that the
purchaser never batted an eye at
paying 1921 in parcel post fees for
having the shipment made to him.

made by DR.. Edwin Moseley, pro-
fessor emeritus of biology at Bowl
ing Green State university, some
eighteen months ago.
You may recall that early in 1916,
DR.. Moseley said the first half of
1916 would see rainfall above the
average followed by drought which
will continue thru the greater part
of 1947.
His forecast is based on a study
of rings of growth in trees thru
which he has developed a theory that
droughts occur in cycles at regular
recurring intervals. Small rings, he
says, indicate drought years in which
growth was less than normal.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Steiner. of
Winfield, Kansas, who spent the last
week with relatives here, were form
er Bluffton residents who built the
house on South Lawn avenue. now

Mr.. Steiner was former Bluffton
teacher and business man who later
moved to Winfield where for MANY
years he was professor of mathe-
matics in a Lutheran college.
