New College Avenue Sewer Replaces

Outmoded Stone Sewer, Now
Beyond Use, One of Old
est in the Town
installation of New Sewer to
Relieve Floods at Main
st. & College Ave.

=
Replacing one of the towns old.
est surface water drains, a new
sewer is being laid this week from,
the Sinclair filling station corner on
Main street to the College avenue
bridge across Big Riley creek.
Installatin of the new sewer will
eliminate flooded conditions which
follow every heavy rain at the Col
lege avenue intersection on Main
street.
The new sewer, consisting of Is
inch concrete tile, will follow the
north side of College avenue, empty
ing into the creek at the bridge. Ex-
cavation and the laying of tile were
started on Monday by Charles E.
Kohl and Son, Lima contractors.
Replacement of sewers was re-
quired when investigation this fall
showed that the existing line, esti-
mated to be about rs years old, was
beyond repair.
The old sewer was constructed of
stone slabs, laid to provide a rec
tangular shaped tunnel. It's con-
struction branded it as one of the
oldest existing sewers in the town.
Cost of the new sewer is estimat-
ed at slightly more than $500.

RESTAURANTS SAY
MEATLESS DAYS
ARE UP TO PUBLIC
Substitutes Available But Meat
Win be Served If Patrons
Demand it..
About Half Order Meatless
Menus on Tuesday, as Save
Food Drive Opens.

Success of "Meatless Tuesdays" in
Bluffton restaurants will be up to
the public, proprietors of local eating
places said this week in commenting
on the government sponsored pro-
gram of food conservation.
Restaurant operators will be glad
to serve meatless meals every Tues
day in cooperating with the "save
food for Europe" drive, but if custom
ers order meat they will get it.
after all, the responsibility should
be that of the individual, rather than
depending on the restaurant propri-
etor to force the ISSUE" one restau-
rateur said in a statement that fairly
we'll summed up the attitude at all
Blutfton eating places.
Similar Pattern Thursday
A similar attitude was apparent
with respect to planned menus for
Thursdays, on which the public has
been requested to eat no eggs or
poultry.
Bluffton's first "Meatless Tuesday
this week found about half of those
who eat in restaurants ordering meat
substitutes and eating less bread, as
requested by President Truman.
There was no way of determining
how many menus in private resi-
dences had meat eliminated for Tues
days meals, altho meat market op-
orators reported no apparent decrease
in sales the early part of the week.
The nations save-food program
was launched last Sunday by Presi-
dent Truman with his request that no
meat be eaten on Tuesdays, no eggs
or poultry on Thursdays, and that
every person eat one slice of bread
less each meal.

CORN HARVESTING
IS PLICATED BY
EARLY FROST HERE
Many Fields i'm Bluffton Area
Killed By Frost 10 Days
Before Maturity
Whether to Put Green Corn I'm
Crib or Leave 1T i'm the
Field Is Debated

Soft corn, found in many Bluffton
area fields this fall because last
weeks heavy frost caught much Of
the crop before it had reached ma
turity, has presented farmers with
their most complicated harvesting
problem in many a year.
Many farm observers were pre-
dieting this week that the trend of
recent years toward the use of corn
pickers will be reversed this fall,
basing their forecasts on statements
by agriculture authorities that t
chances of the ears drying out in
shocks are better than in a crib,
providing shocks are not too large
and are we'll made.
Grain can be left in shock until
dry enough to crib, even though it
should take all winter, it was point
ed out, but that harvested by corn
pickers must Immediately be put
into storage.
Small, well-made shocks were re-
commended, for green corn, high in
moisture content, may be affected by
mold if an average size shock with
considerable fodder is erected.
Corn prevented from fully matur-
ing by the late September frost ac-
tually could be handled with best
results If we went back to a mode
of husking that has largely passed
out of the picture, it was pointed
out. This would entail leaving the
ears on standing stalks until they
are thoroughly dried, then proceed
ing with husking.
However, those farmers who want
to use this years corn ground for
fall winter wheat, must get the corn
out of the way Immediately and will
have to make the choice between
cutting and shocking, or harvesting
with a picker.
1t has been estimated that the
killing frost of last week, coming
about 10 days earlier than normal
after planting of the crop had been
delayed last spring, cost Ohio corn
farmers millions of dollars. Corn
specialists said, however, that the
exact extent of damage will depend
on what kind of drying weather we
get in October and November.

DR.. Rdn,seyer Talks
On European Trip

An illustrated lecture on present
day conditions in Europe was pre-
sented Tuesday night at a dinner
meeting of the Bluffton Lions club
by DR.. L L. Ramseyer, Bluffton
college president, who spent the last
summer overseas.
Shortage of food and. houses is
most critical in the war-devastated
sections of Holland and Germany,
Dr. Ramseyer told the group. In
contrast, Belgium seems to have
made the most rapid recovery, pos
sibly due to that country's flourish
ing trade with the Congo area in
Africa.
While overseas, DR.. Ramseyer
visited England, Holland, Germany,
France, Belgium and Switzerland.
The colored slides shown to the
group were taken by DR.. Ramseyer
on the European tour.

How Every County
Began


ing, who owned the land, wanted the
trees and underbrush cleared off the
streets of Woodsfield in 1914 he set
a keg of brandy where the principal
street was to be and invited every
man and boy within five miles to
"come in, have a rousing good time
and clear out Main Street" They did
it and so the first trees in an unbrok-
en- forest which was destined to be
Monroe County's capital city We're
felled.
Early pioneers were good judges
of liquor. Everybody drank it. Whis-
ky then was cheap-25 cents to $3.50
gallon, depending on the year of
purchase and unless it was at least
seven years old it was not considered
"titten to drink" Every cabin had
it and it was offered to every guest.
Even the preachers, who "put up" at
pioneer cabins on their long, wilder
ness circuits, took an occasional nip.
County Beginnings
The story of the beginning of
every city in Ohio is virtually the
same, differing only as did the Gus
toms of the times.
Woodsfield is mentioned because it
it a typical county seat of an average
Ohio county and because its history
from the beginning has been so care
fully preserved.
It's first courthouse and Jail was a
combination log affair built two years
after the first trees were cut on Main
street. It's total cost was $137-the
woodwork 800 and some stone, $37.
The next courthouse, built in 1927,
was of brick. 1t burned in 1867 when
another brick, costing $4,000 re-
placed it.
Hewed Log Houses and Cabins
In 1920 Woodfeld had IS houses,
six of hewed logs and the remainder
just cabins, alb occupied by families
who had been there at least two
years. Just as a record for posterity
we are naming them. They were:
Joseph and Ezra briggs, John Sny-
der, Arson Brewster, David Pierson,
James Phillips, Michael Davis, James
Cole, Henry II. Mott, Stephen Lind
ley, John King, Henry Jackson, Amos
B. Jones, Mrs. A. G. Hunter, Patrick
Adams, James Carruthers and a man
named Sayers. The eighteenth cabin
was the hewed-log courthouse.
Carruthers' son, George, was the
first child born in the town.
Woodsfeld was incorporated in
1884 and again in 1886 with Henry
Johnson as first mayor, an early sett-
ler in the county.
County Formed i'm 1913
Monroe County, founded in 1913,
was settled first by Philip Witten,
from Wheeling; Robert McEldowney,
1894; Jacob Vellom, the same year:
and the Nanderwarters, Henthornes,
Atkinsons, 1898, at the mouth of Sun
fish Creek-now Darlington. The
Crows, Clines and Dyes soon fol-
lowed.
Excepting for the names, exact
dates and locations, the foregoing is
story identical with that of every
other county and county seat in Ohio.
All of them began the same way, ex-
perienced the same hardships, priva-
