round to the fact that Thursday
was thanksgiving and big things
would be happening over hte city
and state. One of the brothers
said that one of the main things
he found wrong with the brothers
and sisters on both sides of the
fence was the fact that they never
appeared thankful for anything
that came their way here in the
good ole u. S. A. He said that
they just figured that they just
rated good things and they wasn't
supposed to go out of their way
thanking nobody for them. He said
that they never stopped to think
about none of them people in them
countries where there wasn't en-
ough bread and meat to eat or
clothes to wear or fuel to burn.
He said that most of the brothers
and sisters over here just read

about it. He said that there was
a time when all of the good bro
theirs and sisters turned thanks
whenever they sat down to meal,
but now the only hitting they turn
ed was the plate. Fro mwhat that
good brother said, it appears that
a whole lot of the brothers and

Mid-July-and Thursday is st.
Swithin's day which is supposed to
set the pattern for the next forty
days of rain or shine which re-
calls that we had our usual rain

had rained every Monday, except
last week for so far back we have
lost track and Mondays rain

day was the summers hottest day
with the thermometer at 95-but

said about it was that it is good

when picked up by passersby who
found bands with code inscriptions
wrapped about its legs. After
half hours rest it took off, presum-
ably on its journey.
Sidney Stettler, Bluffton high
school instructor who gardens as a
hobby and incidentally does a
mighty good job, gathered roasting
ears from his patch last Friday, the
first reported from this vicinity. On
April % Stettler made his first
planting of Spancross, an early hy-
brid variety and followed with later
paintings at two week intervals at
his plot on South Lawn avenue.
And incidentally that South Lawn
avenue district appears to go in for
early gardening - there's Charlie
Fenton down street in the next block
who had new Irish cobbler potatoes
from his garden on July l.
Athletic trophies for which in
Vulnerable Bluffton high school teams
have striven nightly in past years
are piling up-fact is they're becom-
ing something of a white elephant
which bothers custodians especially
at this time of the year when the
building is undergoing its annual
renovation and cleaning.
Some time ago the older trophies
were removed from the case in the
lobby to the cafeteria, in order to
make room for new acquisitions. A
number of the older trophies date
back for twenty years. Glasses come
and go but leave these evidences of
prowess-and what to do with them,
apparently no one knows.
John Chidester, living southeast of
of Beaverdam has some of the best
neighbors in the country. John, re-
covering from a severe attack of
pneumonia had Is acres of hay ready
for cutting-and his neighbors knew
it too-and they also knew that John
couldn't take care of it. So last
Thursday the entire neighborhood
converged on that Is acres and put
up the hay in the NOW all in one
day. A good days work in good
cause which will long be remem-
bered.
In the crowd were Cal Leiber,
Harold Schick, Carl Fett, Lloyd Ne
Carty, Roy Herr, Wayne Hutchinson,
Ortho Cotner, Irwin Clark, Gerald
and Kenneth Chidester, Bob King
Ter, Roy Herr and Howard Fisher.
Those notices of budget hearings
you seen in fine print in newspapers
this time of year are one of the
laws requirements by which each
town, township, school district, ETC.,
must estimate its receipts and ex-
penditures for the coming calendar
year-and the meeting at which this
is brought up is the budget hearing.
Budget hearings are open to the
public and if you are interested in
knowing where your local tax money
will go, you might attend-although
no one ever does.
The clerk reads the budget which
is usually prepared by himself and
the finance committee. When he is
finished someone makes a motion to
accept the budget; it gets a second,
everyone votes for it as a matter of
formality and then it goes to Lima
where it is used in calculating the
tax rate for the coming year.

dinners they were one of the
last surviving landmarks of pioneer
agriculture which had much in the
way of neighborly helpfulness and
friendliness that might well be pre-
served in these latter days.
They've fixed up the town pump
the one at the side of the town hall
just around the corner from the
mayors office-new feathers, con-
crete slab, spillway drainage and
everything and it works like it used
to forty years ago. If you can re-
member back that far you're def
nitely one of the oldtimers-back in
those days there was huge lineup
chained to the pump-and nearby
watering trough for horses. Well,
the watering trough wasn't replaced
but the pump is still doing busi-
ness at the old stand. Remember
how clear and cold the water was
it's the same now. It'll be worth
your while to drop around and get a
drink-it isn't the fountain of youth
but We'll lay a bet that it will re-
vive some memories that have been
half-forgotten under the accumulated
dust of years. Now don't stop at
the city water drinking fountain at
the corner-it isn't working.
Pandora may now rise and take a
bow-claiming as it does, connec-
ton with Governor Tom Dewey of
New York, Republican candidate for
president. He used to be regular
caller in Pandora according to DR..
N. S. Hilty, former Pandora physi-
clan who retired and is living in
Bluffton with his son Ray on West
Kibler street.
When Dewey attended the Uni
versity of Michigan at Ann Arbor
he had job as salesman for a
pharmaceutical concern and called on
DR.. Hilty at his office in Pandora at
regular intervals.
They're still talking about that
youngster 10 10 Harrison, diminutive
Toledo lad who did a tip top job of
hoss ridin' at the rodeo here last
week. Most. of the big crowd on
Harmon field knew the little fellow
wears a metal brace because of a
spinal injury he sustained several
years ago and this together with his
youth made his a popular favorite.
An expert with a lariat 10 10 was in

Bassoonist by Heredity

When Musician First Class
Meuser left the Navy he went
back to the Cincinnati SYM
phony, but life as a civilian
musician, what with seasonal
layoffs and one thing and
another, appeared too un-
stable and insecure. So he
made a big decision: He would
become a career musician in
the Air Force. He hasn't re-
gretted it. In fact, If Air
Force recruiting wants a good
mouthpiece, Sergt. Meuser Is
their man.
IF promising young musi-
clans only knew what a good
deal this is they'd flock to
come in, and eventually we'd
have a musical organization
second to none in the world"
he says.
This beats a regular SYM
phony job. Good pay, live at
home, job security, retirement
benefits, commissary privi-
leges and disqualification for
me and family. And no
chicken, either"
("Chicken" Is Army slang
for fussbudget discipline.)
Our daughter cost us only
49," chimes in Mrs. Meuser.
Where can you beat that?"
Sergt. Meuser has gotten
used to the joshing musicians
poke at the clown of instru-
ments." He laughs when one
of his cohorts calls the bas-
soon a Fighting Bedpost."
He does feel, however, that
the bassoon Is being given a
new concept in modern music
writing. He says that COM
posers such as Shostakovich
and Stravinsky have given
the instrument more range
and fluency, and are getting
away from the idea that the
bassoon is only for the gro
tesque.
Besides the bassoon, Sergt.
Meuser plays competently on
the piano, saxophone and
clarinet. In fact, when he
was in the Navy, he had his
first and only experience as a
saxophonist and clarinetist in
a dance band. He wanted to
see what it would be like. He
didn't care for it. S. B.

HARRY MEUsER, the latest
- of three generations of
bassoon players, figures to
keep the dynasty going if he
ever has son.
He could, of course, teach
the instrument to his daugh-
ter Christine, who at this
writing is 9 months old. But,
says the sleepy-eyed father.
if early. indications land he
does mean early) mean any
thing, she is cut out to be
a coloratura soprano.
Master Sergt. Meuser, q, of
1904 Mississippi avenue Sc,
is the first bassooniSt of the
Air Force Band. His father
Hans is the first bassooniSt of
the Cincinnati Symphony Or
chestra. His grandfather Ar
thur was first bassoonist of
the Berlin State Opera.
Sergt. Meuser himself was
a child prodigy. He began
playing the bassoon at 10 and
at IL was given a scholarship
to the Cincinnati Conserva-
tory of Music. At 16 he was
accepted as a permanent
member of the Cincinnati
Symphony, playing assistant
first bassoon to his father. He
also played side jobs with the
Louisville and Indianapolis
Symphonies.
This went on until 1912,
when he joined the Navy and
played in Navy bands in San
Diego and Honolulu. Although
in service, he got special per-
mission to play with the Hon.
olulu Symphony Orchestra
and was the first bassoonist
ever to play a solo with that
group.
While studying at the Gin
cinnati Conservatory in 1899
he met and fell in love with
another student, Eleanor
Hindson of Portland, Greg.
They eloped in 1910. Mrs.
Meuser, a concert pianist and
composer, last year wrote a
concerto which she finished
two weeks before her daugh-
ter was born. It was played
by the Air Force Orchestra in
a concert last Thanksgiving
eve, and Sergt. Meuser deliv-
cred the solo.

JOHN BARLEYCORN THREAT EMS ALASKA MORE THAN AN ENEMY

WASHINGTON, - UP) To hear the authorities tell it, John Barleycorn is almost as much of a threat to Alaska as some poten- tial enemy of the United States.
 Witnesses before a house ap- propriations subcommittee testi- fled that whiskeY is being sold 10 Eskimos in the territory. that if is bad for them. and that Es- kimos are this countrY's eyes and ears in the northern outpost. The testimony. heard in closed ses- sion. was released by the com mittee recently May 26).
 Dr. Arthur Bernstein, Chicago, member of an American Medical association committee which visi- ted Alaska in late 1947, told this to the subcommittee
 "Alchoholism is a big problem in Alaska, so we were told, and so we saw. Think we counted IF bars in Nome, and it has been stated that Anchorage is probably the biggest saloon in Alaska, be- cause the whole main street of Anchorage is bar number so and so, and so forth, but that does not necessarily prove anything"
 Don C. Foster, general super intendent of the interior depart ment's Alaska native service, said it has been difficult to enforce territorial liquor laws, especially in far northern villages. Traders are able to get liquor licenses, he said, by presenting petitions signed by the names of natives who are indebted to them.
 There are a number of con- qregation points where the na- lives come 10 ali the close of fhe canning season in the Bristol bay area" he said.
 "Where liquor is sold, the na- tive seldom ever leaves that point with any money to pay his last years account at the traders in his local or home village"

BOY SCOUTS ENJOYING VISIT IN ANCHORAGE

The Boy Scouts of Troop 666, of Nome, along with boys from other areas of Alaska, are enjoy ing their stay in Anchorage.
 By this time the scouts of the local troop have become acquaint- ed with the other boys participa- ting in the events at Elmendorf Field. For every six scouts one fighter pilot is assigned to live and eat with them in order to approach air cadet training con- ditions. The boys will march to and from classes, stand barracks inspection and formations.
 Courses of instruction will in- clude radio, radar, ground con- trolled approach apparatus, and aircraft instruments.
 A highlight of the encampment will be a trip in flying boxcar C-82 over Mt. Mckinley provided by the 54th Fighter Group, which is housing them in a separate area. The boys have their own mess hall and parade and sports grounds.
 Jet planes will be put on ex- hibition showing speed and low level flying and the boys will have the opportunity to inspect them at close range.

Alaskans To Be Vaccinated For Tuberculosis

tContinued from Page One) the department said.
 The Alaska native service, Ter ritorial Health Department of Al aska, and the US. Public Health Service are expected to arrange to continue vaccination of natives and develop a program to cover the entire Alaskan population.
 The indian. bureau has been ex- perimenting since 1885 with the vaccine, named, B-6 - Bacillus CalmetteGuerin - for the two French physicians who developed it.
 The indian office pronounced the results so satisfactory as to warrant the vaccine's use on a larger scale.
 Krug said Aronson will begin routine vaccination of all child ren born in indian service hos pitalS when he returns to the states. The American indian vac cination program will also include those on reservations who are found free from tuberculosis.

 We can see quickly the ab- surdity of attacks on Secretary of State Marshall. But perhaps we have been slower to see the lies and misrepresentations used right here in our country against our own people. Our industrialists have worked unceasingly, along with labor to help raise our stand ard of living. Only in America do the rank and file enjoy cars radios, telephones, refrigerators and hundreds of other luxuries. Let's keep our thinking straight despite Communist tactics.
