Turn Mattresses

Turning a mattress every week
not only assures longer wear, but
also greater comfort and sleeping
benefits as the wear is distributed
by turning from side to side one
week and end to end the next.
When turning an innerspring mat
tress, however, care should be TAX
en- that it is not bent as this may
damage the inner construction.

Bell Will Be Silent In Grade School
Tower When School Opens Next Tuesday

For the first time in 65 years, the
bell at the grade school building will
not clang out the signal for the
opening of another school term next
Tuesday morning.
Although the board of education
decided last Friday night that the
bell should remain in the belfry, it
is deemed unsafe to be rung pending
repairs to the bells supports.
Board members together with
Francis Moser, local contractor made
an inspection of the tower and the
bell Monday night. Moser will be in
charge of repairing rafters and 9th
er supporting timbers. Whether the
bell will be rung after the work is
completed was not announced.
Meanwhile, an electrically operated
gong will be installed outside the
building to summon the pupils from
the playground when classes convene
in the morning and at noon and also
at the close of recess periods.

No Action On Fence
Issue OF SpOrtsn,en

There will be no fence at the
Sportsmen's park at Buckeye lake,
at least as far as any official action
at the monthly meeting of the
Sportsmen's club board of directors
held last Thursday night is con-
cerned.
The hotly debated fence issue, al
legged to have split the club into two
warning factions failed to bring
about any fireworks at last Thurs
days meeting and officially, at least,
the issue of the fence is decided.
That the rift in the club contin-
ues appeared indicated in an an

had rendered his resignation.

Group Presents Petitions With
$50 Signatures to School
Board
Ask Hollywood Movies and Jazz
Music be Banned at School
Here

Stating their aim as seeking so
cial protection" for children of par
ents opposed to dancing and card
playing in connection with Bluffton
high school social functions, repre-
sentatives of the Association of
Christian Laymen, a local group,
conferred with the Bluffton board of
education at a special meeting Fri
day night.
Eight representatives including of
ficers of the laymen's organization
presented petitions condemning dane
ing as immoral and degrading, de-
nounced card playing, asked strict
censorship of the schools visual edu-
cation program, elimination Of all
Hollywood entertainment movies and
popular jazz music. Also the group
asked that class plays depict no muir
der, drinking, smoking, uncouth love-
making or irreverence to Bible,
church or clergy.
The association was identified by
its president and spokesman, Waldo
Hofstetter, as a group of some 40
members, principally in the Bluffton-
Pandora area. Other officers of the
organization he said are Willis Am
stutz, vice president; Jos. Thompson,
secretary and E. J. Wahlie, treasur-
er. Hofstetter is a former president
of the board of education.
BOARD DEFERS ACTION
The petitions, Hofstetter said, bore
some 450 signatures and his group
expected to obtain so more, he added.
The board accepted the petitions but
deferred any action.
Principal fire of the petitioners CEN
tered on dancing and card playing
which they alleged constituted the
main diversion at high school social
functions. Hofstetter disclaimed any
intent to bar dancing or card play
ing from these affairs but said that
other entertainment equally attract
i've should be provided for non
dancers.
Spokesman for the board said it
has always been the school policy to
provide these alternate forms of re-
creation and this policy would con-
tinue. The petitioners were invited
to suggest forms of recreation which

Heat Wave With Top Of 1O1 Breaks
To Low Of "a Degrees Wednesday

Ending an eight-day heat wave
in which the Bluffton area sweltered
in the summers hottest weather,
milder temperatures Monday brought
relief that was continuing through
midweek
Temperatures which had reached
a season-high mark of 101 degrees
last Friday dropped to a low of "a
degrees Wednesday morning as cool
er weather drove the last vestiges of
the heat wave out of the area, ending
the eight-day stretch in which the
mercury climbed above or near the
100-degree mark every afternoon.
The extremely hot weather, the
areas only taste of heat wave temp
eratures this summer, definitely is
past, weather bureau officials pre-
dicted, and cool weather is expected
to continue.
During the eight-day assault of
heat, Bluffton residents not only had
to contend with 100-degree heat dur
ing the day, but also sweltered thru
their first hot nights of the sum-
mer, which has been unusually pleas
ant.
A cool mass of air from Canada
was responsible for heat relief on
Monday, and as it moved into the
district it brought with it morning
showers, the first rainfall here in
nearly two weeks.
