the fire after his departure.
COMBINE AND HAY LOST
A combine and 80 tons of baled
hay were lost in the fire, although
another nearby barn, garage and a

township fire department, which ans
wered the alarm.
Following the fire, Thompson said
that to his knowledge no one had
been in the barn for a week, and
that it was not wired for electricity.
The Thompson farm is one-fourth

where a barn burned in a night fire
last month about s p. M, the same
time in the evening.
Tuesday of last week a large barn
on the Harley Redick farm about
three miles away, near Jenera, was
completely destroyed by fire that
broke out, also around 8 p. m.
Five weeks earlier Clark Frazier's
filling station on the Dixie highway,
one mile north of Decks farm, was

terial for 40 gloves at each stroke
was one of the features of the tour,
in which the story of mass-produc-
ton of gloves was told in detail.
The Bluffton plant engages in
production of a double-thumb corn
husking mitten and work gloves,
Lloyd told the Lions, and 81 oper-
ators are on the payroll. The plant
is operated on piece-work basis
with a guaranteed minimum wage.
In fabrication of the gloves, each
sewing machine operator works on
only one operation, after which the
glove passes to another operator, the
manager explained.
During the tour of the plant, the
clubmen were conducted through the
office, warehouse and cutting room
on the first floor and the sewing
machine room on the second floor.
Basement of the building is used
for storage.
The workrooms are spacious and
we'll lighted and mostly finished in
white or light pastel colors and the
entire plant throughout is scrupu-
lousy clean.
Extensive precautions have been
taken against fire by means of spe-
cial water lines and hose as well as
chemical fire extinguishers.
Arrangements for the comfort of
employees include dining and recre-
alton room equipped with a piano
and reading materials including cur
rent periodicals.
Large quantities of cloth fabric
used in the manufacture of the COM
pany's product is shipped in bales
principally from southern cotton
mills.
Other nearby plants of the Boss
Glove Co. are in Findlay and To-
ledo; and a newly opened factory
now IS gong into operation In Ut
tawa.
Main office of the company is in
Kewanee, ILL.,, where the firm was
established SO years ago. The Bluff
ton plant is one of its oldest, dating
back to its opening 40 years ago this
spring in a building at North Main
and Washington streets, adjoining
present quarters.
The Boss organization now oper-
ates 10 plants in eight states, in
cluding Texas, Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio and
New York.
Tour of the Lions club came after
its regular dinner meeting earlier in
the evening in the Walnut Grill.

TWO Cars Crash As
Fog Blankets Road

-Four persons, two from this area,
escaped serious injury Friday morn
ing at $50 o'clock when two auto
mobiles met in a headon crash near
the foot of Dray's hill on the Dixie
highway, a short distance north of
the A. c. and Y. railroad.
A dense fog at the foot of the
hill repeatedly was responsible for
the crash in which automobiles
driven south by Leonard Cupples, 30,
of Rawson, and Raymond L. Deyo,
27, Detroit, crashed headon.
With Cupples was his brother-in-
law, Herbert Howell, 81, of Mt.
Cory. The two men were enroute
to Lima where they are employed.
Neither was hurt.
Mabel Deyo, so, in the other car.
suffered minor cuts and bruises, and
was taken to the Bluffton Community
hospital.
With the two wrecked cars in the
fog representing a major traffic
menace, Town Marshal Lee Coon and
State Highway Patrolmen, who had
been notified, directed traffic at the
spot until the wreckage had been
removed.
Scene of the accident was near
the old National quarry where dense
fog has been frequent this winter
and several accidents in the area
have been attributed to that cause.
The fog is reported as caused by
the warmer water of the quarry
coming in contact with tie cold air.
Water from the quarry is used i'll
the generating plant of the adjacent
Central Ohio Light & Power comp
any for cooling turbines operated
at the plant and in the process the
water absorbs sufficient heat to
become warmer than the surround
ing atmosphere when it is returned
to the quarry.
