Restored Train WEI
Improve Mail Service

Faster service in handling Bluffton
mail for southern destinations has
again been made possible thru the
resumption of two Toledo-Columbus
passenger trains out of Findlay on
the New York Central railroad. The
trains had been taken off their regu-
lar runs during the coal strike.
Resumption of the service which
considerably speeds southbound Bluff
ton mail came after Findlay and
other cities on the railroad had filed
complaints with the Ohio Public
Utilities Commission that the trains
did not resume operation after the
coal crisis had ended.
Afternoon mail taken from here
by Star Route to Findlay leaves inn
mediately for Columbus and other
southern points on the afternoon
train, it was pointed out.
Service is unusually good, and
special delivery mail dispatched here
at 2:30 p. m. can be delivered in Co
lumbus late the same afternoon. Air
mail also can be sent out of the Co.
lumbus airport within a few hours
after leaving Bluffton.

MENNONITE WORLD
CONFERENCE TO Be
HELD IN AUGUST
Sessions in Goshen, Ind, Aug. 3
to ) and Newton, Kan,
Aug. 7 to 10
Delegates are Coming from
Europe, South America and
Far East

What leaders say will be not only
the largest but most representative
gathering Of Mennonites ever to be
held in this country is the fourth
Mennonite World conference to con-
vene at Goshen, Indiana, August to
5 and continued at Newton, Kansas,
August to 10.
While there is no way of estimat-
ing accurately the attendance, those
familiar with preparations said this
week that there undoubtedly would
be several thousand present, includ-
ing so or more foreign delegates from
Europe, South America and the Far
East.
The conference, it is pointed out
will occupy roughly the same status
to the world Mennonite membership
as does the General conference To its
component parts, since neither has
any authority to make decisions hing
ing upon the constituent members,
but rather both serve as a clearing
house for discussion of problems com
mon to the group.
Last Conference in Holland
The last world conference of the de-
nomination was held in Amsterdam,
Holland, in 1886. Since that time post
war conditions have prevented the
holding of another meeting, This will
be the first time the conference has
been held in the United States.
Arrangements for the conference
are in charge of the Mennonite
Central Committee of Akron, Pa,
which directs relief work and other
activities in which various branches
of the denomination participate.
Among major topics which are
scheduled for discussion at the con-
ference are relief and rehabilitation
projects in war areas together with
reports of home and foreign mission
work.
Bluffton Man on Committee
Rev. J. n. sSmucker, pastor of the
First Mennonite church here and
chairman of the General Conference
of Mennonites is a member of the
committee on counsel and guidance
which will plan the agenda for the
world conference.
Work of the conference will be ir
the hands of the delegates from the
various branches of the denomination
however attendance at sessions is
| open to the public and many Memo
mites in this area are planning to at
tend at least some of the sessions
particularly those held in Goshen.
Foreign delegates are scheduled tx
| arrive from Holland, Germany
Switzerland, Brazil, Paraguay ant
Canada, as we'll as from mission
stations in China and India.

SCHOOL BOARD TO
CONSIDER TEACHER
VACANCIES FRIDAY
designations Of Coach And IN
strumental Music Teacher
Bring Up Problems
Applications Have Been Receiv-
ed For Coaching Post; No
Music Applicants To Date

With next falls plans for sports
and instrumental music activities at
Bluffton High school stymied until
positions left vacant by the resigna-
tions of Coach Kent Cotterman and
Music Instructor Harold Hunter are
filled, the board of education will take
up its first consideration of the stu
alton at a special meeting Friday
night.
Coach Cotterman resigned last
week to accept a position as head
coach and athletic director at Bryan,
and Hunter notified the board of his
intention to go into business with
his father-in-law in Bellevue.
Applicants for Coaching Job
Aitho there have been several ap-
plications for the Bluffton coaching
post, the board likely will not take
steps to hire replacement for Cot
terman at this weeks meeting.
Supt. Ralph Lanham said this week
that no applications have been re-
ceived so far as head of the instru-
mental music department, but that he
would check with Columbus and Bow
ling Green sources prior to the meet
ing of the school board.
Coach Cotterman had been head
coach here for two years, and Hunter
last spring completed his first year
on the local high school faculty.

itself for its eighth holiday observ-

Celebrations here since a state ban
was placed on sfrecrackers and re-

trast to those that our fathers knew
when the holiday was a paradise of

Cannons roared a salute at the

crackers and small torpedo bombs
popped all day long, and in the
evening it was customary to have .

SUMMER RAINS
MAKE MOSQUITO
CONTROL ACUTE
Showers and Warm Weather
Make Ideal Conditions for
Incubation
Cooperation of Public Needed
to Make Towns Program
Effective

Rains and warm weather this week
are making ideal growing conditions
for mosquitoes and residents of the
town must cooperate with the pre-
vention program now under way if a
system of mosquito control is to
prove effective, it was stated by May
or Arden Baker.
The town, at present, is virtually
free of mosquitoes and with CO.
operation of the public in addition to
the mosquito control program in
augurated this spring by the town,
the situation should be kept we'll in
hand, the mayor added.
sW, A. Howe, who has previously
been in charge of successful mosquito
control programs here has taken over
the work again this summer and a
program of spraying creeks and catch
basins has been under way for the
past month to destroy mosquito lar
vac.
Need Aid of Householders
Arrival of warm weather, however,
has made it more imperative than
ever that householders cooperate to
prevent incubation of mosquitoes on
private premises. Among the more
prolific breeding places for mosqui-
toes are cisterns, especially those un-
used; plugged evespouts and old tin
cans holding stagnant water from
summer rains
These may be kept free from, mos
quito contamination by spraying with
oil or a commercial preparation,
Persons desiring information or as
sistance. in connection with mosquito
control problems are referred to
Howe.
