Bootleg Dealers In Fireworks

A unified state, county and local
government breakdown on retailers
violating Ohio's anti-freworks law
has been promised for this year in
drive to make this the safest
Fourth of July in the states history
In connection with the campaign,
it was pointed out by Albert A.
Woldman, state director of industrial
relations, that all retail sales of fire.
works in Ohio are illegal. The only
fireworks which can be sold are for
public exhibitions in connection with
celebrations, fairs, etc., and written
permission must be received for such
events.
Director Woldman also called at
tention to the stiff penalties in the
fireworks law which make violations
punishable by a fine from $25 to
$500.
Bootleggers Sought
Most violations, it was emphasized,
occur in coverup or bootlegging

After more than half decade Of
bumper wheat crops, only an average
harvest is anticipated this year in
the Bluffton area because of damage
sustained by the wheat stand in the
unseasonably cold weather of last
March.
Where yields during the last six
years have ranged from 80 to 40
bushels to the acre, this years crop
at the best is expected to run 20
bushels, accepted as about the aver
age for this district.
Straw and heads of this years
wheat are short, and the yield will
be considerably less than anticipated

last fall when prospects looked un-
usually good.
Wheat Hit Hard
Following a wet January and
February, the crop outlook was dim
med considerably when unseasonably
cold weather arrived in March,
resulting in damage to the stand at
a time when winter kill is not ex-
pected. Altho ordinarily it is cold
in January and wet in March, the
weather was reversed this year, with
wheat suffering accordingly.
Altho oats this year are of good
quality, the straw is short and the
acreage is somewhat less than usual

Corn prospects so far are salts
factory and the "knee-high by Fourth
of July" adage will hold generally
true thruout the area. With abundant
rainfall in early June, a few fields
already are knee-high
Potatoes are in blossom, and large
commercial growers in this area are
expecting a good yield from this
years crop.
Soybean acreage is up thruout the
area, with seeding stimulated by the

due to wet weather experienced at
planting time which made it difficult
to get into the ground last spring.
Dry weather in May is blamed for
the short condition of the straw.
Hay and alfalfa also are short and
the clover stand is thin, another
reflection of the May drought. Hay
cutting and baling, started last week,
has been delayed by wet weather, but
SO far there has been no damage to
crops.
Pastures, which also showed the
effects of the dry weather in May,
have been revived by recent heavy
rainfall and are beginning to get

Stettler Gets Degree
At Ohio UniUerSitu

John r. Stettler, of Bluffton
Route 2, received bachelor of sci
ence in education degree, last week,
in commencement exercises held at
Ohio university. Stettler is a grad
safe of Bluffton High school.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1950-06-22

overall program in which $98,941.45
will be spent in the IL townships
this summer.
This means that less than two per
cent of the funds set up for work
on the county road network will be
inside Richland townships borders
despite the fact all other townships
except Marion are smaller. Richland
and Marion are the same size, local
township officials said.
Politics Charged
Richland townships role as the
slighted step-child was blamed by
many on the fact that the township
for years has not been represented
on the county board of commission
ers, and that a majority of the
present boards membership is from
the other end of the county.
In contrast to the pittance of ST.
1861 allowed for the Richland pro-
gram, Marion township which with
Richland tops all other townships in
size, will benefit from a road pro-
gram aggregating $9,721.18 in total
cost.
Richland trustees said this week
they are unable to understand why
their share of the county road funds
is so low this year, inasmuch as
county roads here are in very bad
shape and in need of extensive i'm
provement.
Only Two Projects
Only two work progrms are slated
in the township: an improvement on
the Napoleon road from Beaverdam
to the Jackson township line, at a
cost of S29S.20, and $1,488.31 i'm
provement to the Hillville road from
Route 25 to the Phillips road.
Despite it's size and population,
Richland township has not had a
member on the county board of COM
missioners for many years, perhaps
one of the factors in the present
situation. There also are complaints
that the townships location in the
extreme northeast sector of the
county is too far from the county
seat in Lima to receive the considera-
ton that other subdivisions get.
The program bringing this weeks
furore is for county roads, paid en-
tirely by county funds. No announce
ment has been made yet regarding
the township road program in which
cost is shared by the township and
the county.

Harness Racing

Craddock, the paddock Judge

sport, reviving interest and boost
ing harness racing to higher
plane than it ever before enjoyed

They are excellent authorities

Drive For Blind Has

The teaching of the blind to

Korean war Americans were
stunned by the tragic inadequacy
of our forces and equipment.
Many felt a personal response
bility for the needless loss of
life. 1t was a healthy and we'll
founded reaction which will. lead
to correction of mistakes and
wedding out of inept officials.
There are already encouraging
signs Of improvement. John
Osborne, Time, and Life senior
correspondent in the Pacific,
writes: "The American effort and
the American soldier in Korea
are magnificent. Doubtless we
could and should have been bet
ter prepared, But today
we have in Korea more men and
more arms than we sent to the
invasion of North Africa in No
vember of 1912, eleven months
after Pearl Harbor."
Intelligence r e p o I is received
in Washington indicate that the
evident military ability of this
country to cope with the COM
rnunists in Korea has impressed
the countries of Southeast Asia.
Applications for Communist party
party membership are dwindling
and pictures of the Communist
leader Mao Tse-tung are disap-
pearing from shop windows. Even
more encouraging is the opinion
OF authorities on the mystery of
why Russia has not moved into
other areas while the United
States has its hands full in Korea.
They point out that We have in
readiness, prepared to strike with
hair-trigger swiftness, a fleet of
more than 1000 Air Force bomb
ers able to carry atom bombs
within a matter of hours to every
major city in Russia. And we
have the bombs to do the job. If
the opinion of these, authorities
is correct, this factor, plus an in
dustrial production potential of
near astronomical proportions, has
checked Russia for the time be-
ing.
Another element of strength
that is not fully appreciated is
the growing efficiency and pro-
ductive capacity of American
agriculture. Food is a mighty
weapon and our farms are pro-
ducing it in record quantities.
The magazine Country Gentle
man recently described what has
been happening on the farms:
Ever since the end of World War
II, farmers have been turning out,
year after year, nearly fourth
more than in the year of Pearl
Harbor, and it's hard to picture
the peaks to which farm output
might be pushed under necessity.
Leading agricultural scientists
new believe that the output of the
farm plant of the United States
could be doubled by putting to
use all the production knowledge
we now have.
Significantly, the great upsurge
in farm production during and
since World War II came about
with only a minor increase in
acreage harvested. Further
more, the gains were made in a
period when farmers had fewer
workers than prewar."
With all our prodigality, we are
demonstrating as never before the
achievements attainable by free
men. 1t is these achievements
that are now being felt in Korea
and that are earning the respect
Of other nations including
Russia.
