of three years ago when the town
ship road equipment had its hands
full from the middle of December
until the end Of February in an al
most constant battle to keep the
roads cleared of snow at cost of
approximately $4,000.
Dean Ferguson, high school senior
at Riverside, Calf, who was here
several years ago to spend the sum-
mer with his grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Rauenbuhier recently won
a miniature gold basketball in free
throw contest between the halves of
a basketball game when he scored 21
goals out of 25 attempts.
Dean also is an Eagle Scout and
has charge of a patrol which checks
weather conditions in the citrus
grove district near Riverside, light
ing smudge pots when night temper
atures fall SO low as to endanger
the crop by freezing.
Ministers and their wives are busy
people-if you doubt it, ask Rev.
Mahlon Wenger and his wife the
former Nadine Allmann, whose mar
riage was an event of the holiday
season at the home of her parents,
DR.. and Mrs. v H. Altman, near
Bluffton.
Moving into the parsonage of
Woodlawn Evangelical United Breth-
ren church at Bucyrus recently
brought just one more change to the
already full schedule of the Weng-
| ers.
Currently dividing his time be-
tween his new pastorate and his
coaching duties at Eden centralized
school nearby, Rev. Wenger also
must see that his wife gets to class
es at Otterbein college, Westerville,
where she is senior.
For four years he was in charge
of the Evangelical United Brethren
circuit at Findlay and was district
leader for denominational work in
the Findlay district of nine church
es. A graduate of Findlay college,
he still is president of the Hancock
County Religious Education.
So you don't believe in Friday the
18th jinx-all right, but neverthe-
less you'll have to admit it's a
strange coincidence how that unlucky
13 has kept bobbing up in the Bluff
ton and Wapakoneta high school
basketball record-not only this year,
but in years past.
Here's what happened:
Wapakoneta defeated Bluffton 4s
to IL here last Friday night-the
18th. Bluffton led 13 to at the
end of the first quarter. It was the
26th game this season for Button
which is twice 13. It was also the
26th basketball game in which teams
from the two schools have met. Oh
this series Bluffton has won IT and
Wapak Q. But the jinx still holds
for believe it or not-Wapak won
the 18th game of the series back in
1888 and of course the Goth game
last Friday.
The Ed Lapes on a motor tour OF
