Funeral At EIida
For BLLLftOn Farmer

Funeral services for Chas. Meffred,
II, Bluffton area farmer were held
Tuesday afternoon in the Elida
Lutheran church with Rev. I. Willis
officiating.
Mefferd, who lived on a farm four
miles south of Bluffton died in the
Community hospital here Saturday
evening.
He, was born in Bond county,
Illinois, October 30, 1876 and was
married to Daisy Miller who survives
together with six sons: Wilbur of
Lima; Earl of Rossford; Arthur of
Port Clinton; John of Bend, Oregon:
Clyde of Lima and Walter at home.
Three brothers surviving are
Harry of Van Vert and Roy and
Howard of Convoy; also seven
grandchildren and two great grand
children.

packing totaled $6,3O0,000 and iron
and foundry castings nearly as
much. The city made and sold
S16,000,000 worth of clothing. There
were 4S wholesale and Sc retail con-
Germs engaged in these three lines
alone.
1t made and sold $5,318,730 worth
of whisky, $5OO,OOO worth of wines
and 81, 100000 worth of ale and beer.
The boot and shoe trade totaled
$1,750,450 and alcohol and spirits of
wine S2,260,0O0.
Exports in 1859 were 7,497, ,095
"a falling off of eight million dol
lars since the year before. Imports,
too, had fallen off $3,000,000. Bust
ness was beginning to get bad and
the city needed urban transportation.
Yet when the first streetcars came
the citizens found fault with them.
When the company covered the floor
with a thick layer of straw so pas
sengers could keep their feet warm,
they said it was messy and often
caught fire from the pot-bellied
stove. When the company cleared
the streets of snow the same people
claimed it ruined their sleighing.
About 1880 the horse cars turned
into cable cars. They were put on
when hay went to $50 ton, corn to
$2.40 a bushel and oats to $1.40.
Then the mules began to eat more
than the company took in.

BETTE DAVIS WAS AN
USHERETTE

IFE has strange way, some
IL times, of repeating a circum-
stance from our previous struggles,
as if to remind lis that what may
have once seemed a difficult trial
was actually preparation for a later
triumph. l am thinking, particular
ly, of Bette Davis and the marvel
Gus performance she gave as the
waitress, Mildred, in 'Of Human
Bondage"
Bette Davis was born in Lowell,
Mass, in 1908. Her mother had
only a small alimony with which to
support Bette and her sister, so she
became a professional photogra-
pher. After attending the Mary Ar
den school of Peterboro, ". H,
Bette went to Cushing academy of
Boston. There, she waited on ta-
bles to earn her tuition. To the SIX
teen-year-old little girl, whose dra-
matte ambitions made her super
sensitive to her role in life, her oc-
| cupation as waitress was hunniliat-
ing in contrast to the advantages
enjoyed by her fellow students. Mis-
cradle though her school days were,
that occupation was to be the role
of one of her greatest triunphs.
Would Bette Davis have played such
a convincing Mildred" if circum-
stances had never forced her to be
waitress at school?
Recognition came to Bette Davis
soon after school, She had always
wanted to be an actress and her
mother encouraged her, although
her father thought she should take
| a business course in New York and
prepare to be stenographer. She
| attended dramatic school in New
York instead, and then obtained a
job as an usherette in the Cape
| Playhouse of Cape Cod, Mass. FL
| nally she was given a small part,
! and rose rapidly in the theater, 60
ing on to Hollywood where she rose
to stellar heights in "Of Human
Bondage" For her performance in
Dangerous" she received the Mo-
ton Picture award in 1885.

College, High School
In -Four Contests

Bluffton High and Bluffton college
teams will have a busy schedule dur
ing the next week as they endeavor
to make up games lost so far this
spring because of wet weather.
The Pirates have two games with
Lima Central this week, playing the
Dragons here on Wednesday and
there on Thursday. A game sched-
uled with St. Rose next Tuesday
probably will be postponed because
of opening of the county tournament
next week.
Bluffton college, after playing at
Toledo Tuesday, will entertain the
Ohio State "B" team here on Fri
day, then entertain Wilberforce here
next Wednesday.

The FOur-hOrse
Streetcar

The first streetcar in Ohio ran in
Cincinnati on September II, 1859.
The occasion was momentous one
for during that first trip there occur
red the states first derailment and
the first personal injury by street.
cars.
1t was Wednesday morning. A
great crowd had gathered to see the
car start on its first run-a run on
which no fares were charged.
The streetcar, pulled by four
beautiful gray horses, started in
front of the old Walnut Street Hotel,
Fourth and Walnut Sts., and was
scheduled to move over the entire
route of the new Cincinnati Street
Railroad Co.'S tracks-fve blocks on
Walnut street to Ninth street, then
five blocks on Ninth street to Central
Avenue. The city building was
there-at the end of the line.
Passengers in the car included the
streetcar company officials, the
mayor, N. w. Thomas, city council
men and newspapermen.
Car Jumps Tracks
The streetcar moved off amid
great cheers from the crowd and got
as far as Ninth street before any,
thing happened. There, in making

In MemOriam

In loving memory of my husband,
Pvt. Adrian Leo Basinger, who was
killed May 4, 1945 on Okinawa.
When days are grim and nights are
dour,
Then comes to me that twilight
hour,
Your smiling face, your voice SO kind,
Beautiful memories you left behind.
In my heart these memories linger
And I miss you more each day.
Someday I. will understand
Why God took you away.
Sadly missed by
Mrs. Margaret Basinger
