Firemen AnsUer TUO
Alarms During Week

After two months of comparative
inactivity Blufton fremen answered
two alarms, the result of minor
blazes, during the last week.
Considerable damage to the roof
of the Albert Reichenbach frame ga
rage and business building on Elm
street resulted from a fire discov-
cred about 4:50 p. m. last Friday.
The fire was discovered soon
after it had started in wood shin
gle roof, and was promptly ex-
tinguished by the fire department,
which had to make run of only
half a block.
The other alarm was sounded
Thursday morning when shoulder
ing fire was discovered in filled
coal bin at the College avenue plant
of The Triplett Electrical Instru-
ment Co.
Firemen were unable to put out
the fire, which was extinguished
later in the day by plant workmen
who moved a part of the coal to
get at the smouldering blaze.

Religion In American Life Campaign
Set Here For November Observance

declared:
1--WE talk glibly about freedom
of religion here in America. But
freedom of religion should and can
mean conscientious attendance and
support of our religious institutions.
Otherwise our faith becomes sterile
and meaningless.
ITO this end, the annual move
ment, Religion in American Life, is
engaged in crucial and essential
work. The simple objective of the
program is two-fold: to emphasize
the Importance of all religious in
stitutions as the foundation of
American life, and to urge all Amer
leans to attend and support the
church of their faith"
The program theme is 'Take your
problems to church this week-mil-
lions leave them there"

The Bluffton farm veterans class
is cooperating in a statewide drive
to cut down the toll of tragedies due
to careless use of kerosene in kind
ling fires. The hazards of using
kerosene and ways to kindle fires
safely will be shown to local groups
in a film strip picture entitled,
kerosene Kindling Kills" Several
members of the class who saw active
service in World War III, say that
flame thrower casualties were the
most painful suffered during the
war and add that careless use OF
kerosene in kindling fires can pro-
duce the very same injuries and the
same terrible destruction of property
According to Ralph Marshall who
is farm veterans instructor at Bluff
ton, this drive has been timed to
coincide with, and as a follow-up OF
National Fire Prevention Week. He
points out that the fall is our most
dangerous season in the number Of
farm fires.

War officers were with them to plan

Ease of Raid Tempts Indians
Had a proper sentry been posted
the Indians probably would not have
made the attack. There were no
horses, cattle nor other vaiuables to
tempt the savages, but the naked,
undefended block house, and the ap-
parent ease of the raid, made them
attempt the capture Indians were

Col. William Stacey, father OIL
John and Phillip, had been an old
soldier, well acquainted with Indian
| warfare in the Cherry valley and
having two sons there, had visited
the block-house the Sunday before
the massacre. He had noticed its
weak condition and told the men
there to keep a regular watch ana
Immediately fix strong bars to the
doors to be shut every night at sun
set. Fearing no danger the oc-
cupants of the block-house and two
cabins had not taken the old soldiers
advice.
After the slaughter the Indians
went towards the Wolf creek mills
but finding the people there awake
and on guard the savages did moth
ing but look about the place and
leave before dawn.
1t was a dismal sight to the band
of whites which visited Big Bottom
the day after the massacre. The
fire, though not having consumed

dead so that few could be recognized

FEC will order location of the Lima
station about midway between Lima

The hearings started last week by
the FEC were on proposal which
would make it possible for IL small

stations.
The proposal by the FEC staff
calls for rearranging some of the Il
very high frequency channels now ir
use, and for the ALLEGATION of 4f
new channels in the ultra-higf

"Up to now," a commission spokes
