Train Hits Auto
At Grade Crossing

Edgar Root and Forrest Mumma,
employees at the municipal electric
light and waterworks plant escaped
uninjured when the automobile in
which they were riding was struck
at the Cherry street crossing by a
fast northbound Nickel Plate mani
fest freight.
The accident occurred last Thurs
day afternoon shortly after o'clock
as the two men were driving east
on Cherry street. Locomotive of the
freight struck the rear of the car
tearing off the bumper and tail light,
together with other damage to
tenders and trunk.
The car was almost clear of the
crossing at the time and was struck
only a glancing blow by the locomo-
tive. The freight was stopped here
for twenty minutes following the
crash as the train crew checked on
details of the accident.

|CH RISTMAS MAIL
MONDAY SETS ALL
time HIGH MARK
Total of 1851 Letter CanceIIa-
tions is Record at Office
Here
Fewer Parcels in Holiday Mail ;
High Living Cost May be
Cause

Buttons heaviest rush of mail in
history swamped the post office
Monday, when there were 1851 let
ter mail stamp cancellations, a new
record; 81 sacks of outgoing mail,
and 88 sacks of incoming mail.
Normal Monday morning mail
rarely reaches half the volume
handled during the day, post office
attaches reported.
A record volume of Christmas
greeting cards and first-class mail is
being handled by the Bluffton post
office this year, although parcel
post packages have dropped off
sharply from the wartime peak,
Postmaster Ed r. Reichenbach an
n6unced this week.
FEWER PARCELS
Fewer packages this year and last
may be attributed to the higher cost
of living cutting into family budgets,
aggravated by the high cost of
merchandise. Another factor in the
slump of parcel post mailing is at
tributed to the fact that only a few
men are in military and naval serv-
ice, as compared with the wartime
peak of parcel post mailing at the
Yuletide.
Following Mondays flood of in
coming mail, the volume dropped
off Tuesday and Wednesday, with a
noticeable decline on the latter day
Extra men have been employed
at the local post office to speed the
handling of holiday mail, and Post
master Reichenbach announced Tues
day night that Christmas will be
made brighter by delivering gift par
cells received here on the morning
of Christmas Day.

inches, the heaviest snow in recent
years; altho there were seven inches
in 1914.

''It Is More Blessed To Give

BECAUSE a Bluffton woman
in the spirit of Christmas
shared her widows pension with
another less fortunate, the hoIi-
days will be brighter for an in
mate of the Allen county old
peoples home.
1t all happened in the post
office lobby the other day just
after the monthly pension checks
arrived. From a worn purse she
took a dollar bill and carefully
tucked it in the folds of a
greeting card and sealed the
envelope.
She's not much of a writer
and addressing the letter proved
quite task, but there was an
unmistakable air of satisfaction
that comes with a good deed
well done as she dropped the
missive in the slot for outgoing
mail to the county home at Lima.
1t was just one of those little
glearas of Christmas spirit vir-
tualIy unnoticed amid the holi-
day rush--no more important in
the sum total of things than the
traditional widows mite-noth-
ing in the way of organized
charity or scientific relief--but
nevertheless demonstrating anew
to a skeptical world that Good
Samaritans still travel the
Jericho road.
