Bishop Balloch and his wife, ma
tives of Argentina are converts of
Rev. and Mrs. Patterson while the
latter were engaged in mission work
in South America more than twenty
five years ago. He is now one of
two Methodist bishops in South
American, having jurisdiction in af-
fairs of the church in Chile, Peru,
Panama and Costa Rica.
Bishop and Mrs. Balloch left Sat
urday for Detroit where they will
spend major portion of 30-days
visit in this country.
Remember the Tremp Trio-that
charming group from Toledo-fath-
er, daughter and son-which gave
that program of Swiss music here a
couple of years ago and then went
to Switzerland the next summer to
sing Swiss music to the Swiss?
Well they're still on the concert
stage-fact is they will appear in
program of Swiss singers at Swiss
hall, 735 S. st. Clair street, Toledo,
Sunday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock
just in case you're interested.
1t will be typical Swiss event
sixteen vocal, instrumental and yodel-
ling numbers followed by supper and
dancing in the evening.

| Bluffton bids fair to become a
central point for rainbow trout an
glers. Besides the extensive re-
| stocking program at Buckeye lake,
Paul Emmert and Herman Hilty are
stocking their farm pond on the
Emmert country place adjoining the
Lugibill road just off the Dixie high
way some two miles southwest of
Bluffton. This is said to be the first
farm pond in this area to be stocked
with rainbows.
And since there will be rainbow
trout caught in sizable numbers, we
pass on instructions how to cook
them. w. H. Gysan, manager of
Castalia Trout farms, where the
rainbows are obtained for the stock
ing program here, says it's some
what different than the usual pro-
cessing.
Simply slit the belly with a sharp
knife and remove the insides. Wash
clean and brush if necessary. Re.
move gills, but not the head, and
the fish is ready for the pan.
Trout is not scaled like other fish
and restaurants specializing in sea
food do not remove the head, which
of course, is not eaten. Why the
head is left on, apparently no one
knows.

Since that time we've occasionally
heard from Burma-such as last fal

her moorings one night and broke
into the cooks tent and gorged her

Fact is, two caterpillar tractors
