Springs due next Sunday-offi-
cially. by the calendar, that is i.
but there's no telling what the ther-
mometer will do . it's been ca
vorting up and down with all the
pIayfulness of a spring colt in
less than one short week we've had
the coolest snap of the Winter-last
Friday morning most folks thought
the thermometer was just plain
wacky when they looked at the thing
and it showed 13 below zero-and
then jumped to so above Sunday
and the IL inches Of snow that fell
last Thursday night vanished in a
hurry with Big and Little Riley
creeks out of their banks Monday
night when came a big rain and
that wasn't a spring shower either
anyway we're better off than we
were at this time last year when the
schools were closed for week be-
cause of a flu epidemic-they say one
doctor here has dispensed over 80
thousand cold tablets the last three
months which may have stopped the
flu bug cold in its tracks E. and the
Ed Lapes back from seven weeks in
the southwest found all kinds of
weather-even as you and lin
Louisiana they encountered that cold
wave and farther west in Flagstaff,
Arizona. there was some real snow
which duly astonished the natives
who averred that it was "most un-
usual"-however, Miss May Slough,
a Blufftonite in Mesa, Arizona, says
it's been most too warm there for
comfort weather still farther
west in Los Angeles, the Lapes say
was ideal and speaking of early
home building, the robins here have
started it-several Bluffton house
holds are watching with interest
progress being made in the making
of nests and maple syrup run
this spring will be short unless the
weather misbehaves for a few weeks
what's needed, the boys say are
some wet, warm rains, cloudy, foggy
days and freezing nights-all of
which may sound like prescription
for first class flu epidemic, but it's
ideal weather for maple syrup.
You'll never convince the j. E.
Emericks over at Beaverdam that 13
is an unlucky number-fact is,
March 13 is their lucky day-that
was last Saturday and so on Sunday
there was a triple celebration of
events all of which occurred on
March 13. That day marked the
golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. ].

the birthday of his daughter Rosa

18th, Wen say.
The unusual distinction Of being
the only woman instructor in the
mathematics department of Mohawk
college, Utica, n. Y, is attained by
Mrs. Philip Hilson, the former Kath-
leen Murray, a relative of the Muir
ray families here. She is the daugh-
ter of Robert Fulwood Murray of
Hastings, Mich, who frequently vis-
its the Murray relatives here. This
is Mrs. Hilson's second year on the
Mohawk college faculty. Previously
she taught Spanish and mathematics
in the Hastings high school. She is
a graduate of the University of
Michigan in the class of 1885.
1t was anything but warm re-
ception that the Andrew GRATIS got
when thev returned home from Flor
ida last Thursday. The chilly home
coming was due to the fact that gas
with which the home is heated, had
not been turned on previous to their
arrival. Also by an unfortunate cir
cumstance they happened to get back
just as the thermometer was coasting
down toward that record below zero
cold mark that you almost couldn't
believe on Friday morning.
Another British girl in Bluffton is
Mrs. Paul Studler's niece, Miss Ma
rie Marfeet of Petersboro, England,
who arrived in this country several
weeks ago. She is the fourth of
Bluffton's English colony, the others
being Mrs. Charles Hankish, Jr., of
South Main street; Mrs. Harry
Shrider, Jr., of Harmon road, and
Mrs. Russell Stewart of Beaverburg,

Russell HassOn, now living in
Findlay, who was high school ath-
letic coach here four years ago is a
busy man these DAYS holding down
two jobs to meet the family budget
you remember the Hassons were par
ents of tripIets Just one year ago
last Thursday-three girls-Jill, Jane
and Jo-and that's not counting the
3-year-old twins, Pam and Pat and
the ldest child Mary Ruth, aged 7.
But to get back to Father Has
son--he's coach at Van Buren high
school in the daytime and operates
a sandwich shop near Findlay col
lege at night.
The Hassons problems might be
classified as one, two, three-or in
other words "six of a kind" And
among those problems are the 125
diapers which Mrs. Hasson washes
every other day, those budget-burst-
ing shoes which daddy buys prac-
tically in wholesale lots and six
quarts of milk which have to be
bought every day, to mention only
a few of the daily dozen stints which
are routine in the Hasson household.
