Spring flowers filled the Syrian
Legation last evening for the recep-
ton given by the Minister and Nine.
El-Khouri in celebration of their
country's national holiday. The
holiday, which is officially known as
Evacuation Day, was first observed
on April II, 1916, the day the French
troops left this small Asiatic coun-
try.
The Minister and Nine. El-Khouri
received their guests in the recep-
ton room of the Legation, which
formerly was the home of William
Howard Taft at the time he was
Chief Justice of the United States.
The reception room has been COM
pletely refurnished by the Ell
Khouris. When they came here
last July they brought a set OF
Damascene furniture. which Is in
laid with mother of pearl. The
cushions on the pieces all are COW
cred with silk brocade.
Nine. E-Khouri was very stun
ming in her hand woven gold bro
cade dress, splashed with a bird of
paradise design. Gold earrings
were the only jewelry the hostess
wore with her gown, which was
made from material woven In
Damascus.
Missing from the buffet table were
most of the Syrian dishes which
have been served at other functions
there in the past. The hosts de-
cided that because of the millions
of starving people in the world they
should cut down on the amount of
food served, which in turn meant
cutting down on the number OF
people invited.
About the only native foods Of
fered were kibbeh-served with the
cocktails and small individual
spinach pies. Otherwise. the buffet
+ held the usual cocktail sandwishes,
shrimp, etc. The centerpiece on
the table was q huge vase OF red
carnations and yellow marguerites
Some OF the $50 guests who ac-
cepted the kind invitation Of the

New Law Permits Citizens To
Re-Affiliate By Sworn
Statements
Generally Speaking You Must
Be Member of Party To
Vote Its Primary

If You want to switch parties at
next Tuesdays primary election, the
law provides that you may do it
under certain conditions.
A new law covering the voting for
this year provides that if you are q
registered Democrat you may vote
in the Republican primary providing
you state under oath that you didn't
vote at a previous general election
and wish to become affiliated with
the Republican party or vice versa.
Generally speaking, the law pro-
vldes you must be a member of or
affiliated with the political party
whose primary election ballot you
desire to vote.
Membership in or political affili-
alton with a political party" the law
says, "shall be determined as to one
who has voted in previous general
election, by his sworn statement as
to how he voted in the next preced-
ing general election at which he
voted"
The law also makes provision that
a voter asking for a primary ballot
may be challenged on the ground that
he Is not a party member.
All challenged voter has to do is
to state under oath that at the pre-
ceding general election he voted for
a majority of the candidates of the
party in whose primary ne wishes to
vote.
Election officials also pointed out
there was no way checking up on the
accuracy of a voters statement as to
how he voted in the preceding cleo
tion.

Most Voters Will Be Too Busy
Or Too Tired-To Go To
Polls
Lack of Local Issues Presages
Unusually Light Vote in
Primary

Next Tuesdays primary election
will provide a pattern of Democracy
not at work, if the Bluffton area
vote follows the usual trend of pri-
mary balloting.
If primary interest follows the
pattern of other years a majority of
the voters will be too Indifferent to
go to the polls, despite the fact that
voting will be preliminary to next
falls general election with its i'm
portance to this country and the
world.
Veteran political observers this
week pointed out that primaries held
in May may bring even lighter vot-
ing than the notoriously sighted pri-
mary elections which previously were
held in midsummer.
Housewives now are busy with
their spring house cleaning, and
farmers who are working from dawn
to dark to put out their spring crops
will not take time out to go to the
polls.
Another circumstance pointing to
a light vote is the fact there are no
contests on the county democratic
ticket, and no local issues are coming
up for decision by Bluffton or Rich
land township voters.

The BackwOods Tavern
Bell

It's voice still is clear and young,
like the tinkle of falling silver, and
the overtones of its peal whisper
strangely of the wash of much water
gone over the wheel. The tongue
of the old tavern bell which hangs
in the American Legion Hall, Perrys-
burg, Wood County, seldom wags
but when it does it speaks of a long
and eventful past.
When he finished building it in
1923, Samuel Spafford's little tavern
lacked but one modern advantage"
a dinner bell. And in those early
days an inn without a dinner bell
on top was no inn at all.
Such bells were scarce. There
was none in Perrysburg, then but
seven years old and made up of a
few cabins and a store, mostly log,
and Spafford's new tavern. But in
Detroit, then a frontier settlement
in the Territory of Michigan, was a
bellsmith. So Samuel Spafford made
the long horseback trip up the
bridle-path to Detroit to have his
bell made.
Silver Dollars Cast in Bell
When the little foundry was ready
to cast the bell it was discovered
that there was not enough metal to
make the cast. Spafford emptied
the thirty six Spanish milled dollars
out of his pouch and threw them
into the molten mass of metal. He
had to have that bell.
Back in Perrysburg Spafford hung
the bell which nearly was worth its
weight in gold in a tree beside the
inn where all who passed could see,
hear and admire it. And the silvery
new bell did receive the admiration
