SNOW, ICE GREET
OFFICIAL DEBUT OF
SPRING WEDNESDAY
Winter Casts Gloom Over East.
er Finery Parade Plans
for Sunday Holiday
Spring Arrives Early Wednes-
day In Setting OF Ice, Snow,
Freezing Temperatures

Snow, ice and sub-freezing wealth
er greeted the official debut of spring
in Bluffton Wednesday morning, and
served notice that the setting for
Easter next Sunday may be in keep
| ing with the frigid grip winter has
held on this area since late Novem-
ber.
Winters assault on the arrival of
spring began with heavy snowfall
Sunday night, and continued through
Monday to cover the town with an
eight and one-half inch blanket of
snow, one of the heaviest of the sea-
son.
At the same time temperatures
dropped to marks as low as Is, never
climbing above 80 on Tuesday, an
effective argument by King Winter
that fur coats and long underwear
may be more popular for Easter
than the customary spring suits.
FOUNDER IN SNOW
Winter-weary Bluffton following
Mondays snowstorm foundered in
drifts and ice ruts, which made
highway travel hazardous. AS it
fell, the snow had a slippery base of
slush, and the result was that many
motorists could not get their cars
under way again, once they had
stopped.
Streets turned into an icy glare
overnight Monday when the slush
froze as temperatures dipped to a
mark of 10.
But despite ice, snow and cold
temperatures, spring officially made
it's arrival at 5:26 a. m. Wednesday,
at a time when the mercury was
lowering at about the 15-degree
mark. So as you shiver in your
overcoat, you may find some consol-
alton in the fact that spring is
here, even though Bluffton right now
is experiencing it's coldest weather OF
the month.

Damage Slight In
Body Shop Blaze

Vermillion Body shop on Route
103 was open for business again
Wednesday noon, following fire in
the workroom about l p. m. Tusday.
Principal damage suffered in the
blaze was to electrical wiring in the
building, Lloyd L. Vermillion, the
proprietor said. One car in the
workroom at the time was slightly
damaged when burning tar paper
from the roof fell in on the vehicle.
No one was in the shop when the
fire broke out over the noon hour
while Vermillion was in his home
nearby for lunch. He discovered the
blaze when he looked out window
and saw smoke escaping from the
building. Origin of the fire was
not determined.

PETITION REMOVAL
OF ALL PASSENGER
TRAINS FROM ROAD
"A. G. & Y. Station Here Would
Continue In Operation To
Handle Freight
Present Passenger Train Is Com.
bination Freight-Passenger
Run Thru BlufftOn

Passenger train service thru Bluff
ton on the Akron, Canton and
Youngstown railroad will be discon-
tinued this year if the Ohio public
utilities commission approves a peti-
tion filed last week by the railroad
Under a proposal made by the
A. C. & Y, all passenger service be-
tween Akron and Delphos thru
Bluffton, would be stopped, on
grounds that revenues are too low
to warrant continuation of passenger
facilities.
Bluffton's A. C. & Y. railroad
station, however, would continue in
operation, to handle freight services,
according to spokesmen for the rail
road.
= Mixed Train
Train which the railroad wishes to
discontinue is a mixed passenger and
freight run, going thru Bluffton once
a day each way. The train has one
passenger car attached to the rear
of a string of freight cars.
Few passengers travel out of
Bluffton over the railroad, according
to local ticket office advice. Bluff
ton has been flag stop only for
passengers since last October when
the railroad discontinued mail
service, which previously caused the
tram to make stops every time il
passed thru here. Passenger stops
also are made at Pandora and Co
lumbus Grove by the railroad.
Passenger service out of Bluffton
on the railroad dates back to 1883
when the railroad, then known as the
Delphos and st. Louis Qater the
Northern Ohio) was built as mar
row guage line. 1t later was rebuilt
to standard tracks after several
changes in ownership.
