Window Shopping Night Opens Winter
Wonderland OF Gifts In Local Stores

Bluffton shoppers will find the
magic of Christmas has transformed
local stores into wonderland of gifts
Friday when they visit the brightly
lighted Main street business section
on Window Shopping night.
For this year, no longer plagued
by shortages which so unfortunately
hampered the abundance of Santa's
gift pack in too recent years, the old
gentleman has brought to Bluffton
the biggest, most varied and exciting
collection of gifts in all his expert
ence.
There are luxurious gifts as well
as practical ones, inexpensive and
costly ones. There are gifts to buy
for every age and any taste.
This year Bluffton merchants have
gone all-out to satisfy the Christmas
gift seekers, and beneath all of the
tinsel and lights of the pre-holiday
season shoppers will find the kind of
friendly, neighborly salespeople they
have grown accustomed to in Bluff
ton.
"Bluffton merchants are pleased to
have you come into their shops and
just browse through the attractive
displays of Christmas gift offerings.
We all realize we can't have every
item a shopper may have on his list
in any one store, but chances are you
can fill practically every need by Wis
iting stores within a convenient block
or two of each other," Harlan Swank

one businessman reminded.
With the shopping season opening
full blast Friday, there will be no ex-
cuse for frantic last minute search
ing. Shelves and counters of Bluffton
stores are overflowing with merchan-
disc.
Let's make this year the year to
really "shop early and avoid the
rush"

Early Start Is
Important In
Oats

It's not too early to begin thinking
about next springs oats planting, au-
thorities of the Ohio Experiment sta
ton at Wooster pointed out last
week, in recommending that farmers
begin making preparations now.
According to experiment station
spokesmen, regardless of variety
planted the highest yields and quail
ity are obtained from early-planted
oats. This statement was based on
an experiment recently concluded
which is said to have determined the
effect of planting date on yield and
quality of new varieties.
For each days delay in planting
after March Is, the project results
showed loss in yield of one-half
bushel an acre up to May Is, the
final planting date in the 1862 exper-
iment.
1t was recommended that farmers
utilize their spare time this winter
to get their drills in shape so they'll
be able to plant oats on the first
favorable days next March.
Preparation of the seed bed in the
fall is another means of speeding up
planting the next spring, and other
factors which the experiment showed
worthwhile in increasing yields are
the selection of good seed, proper
treatment of seed, and dry storage
during the winter.

Salas-Carter Bout
Will Be Broadcast

Pabst Blue Ribbon has acquired
the radio rights for the Worlds
Lightweight Championship bout
between Champion Lauro Sales and
Challenger Jimmy Carter on We'd
nesday Oct. 18th from the Chicago
Stadium. The broadcast viii be
aired by Columbia Broadcasting
at 10 p. m.
Carter's opportunity to,regain the
title was guaranteed in the rematch
clause of his last meeting with Sa-
las, the bout in which Salas took
the title with split-decision at Los
Angeles last May 14th.
Salas is the sole Mexican to ever
win a world boxing title. The IS
round decision, labelled by some
as boxing's 'surprise-of-tthe-year" i,
was won by virtue of an unrelent-
ing attack and an ability to keep
Carter's blows at bay. Salas' pro-
fessional record lists II bouts, As
wins, s draws and 20 losses.
James Carter, of New York, is
classed as one of the finest artists
in boxing, with a repertory that
runs from defense to the KO-punch.
Jim vauIted to the top by defeating
the great lightweight champion. Ike
Williams, in IA rounds in 1851.
Many experts have voiced the opin-
ion that an eye cut incurred in the
Salas bout was the major reason
for his loss of the title. Carter is 28
and is in his sixth year as a pro.
His record: IS fights, 81 victories
with 21 by the KO-route, 6 draws
and IL losses.
This bout viii be the third of the
weekly Pabst Blue Ribbon CHS
Radio broadcasts during the 1852
1853 indoor season.

Reynolds, in his 11th season in

NEW YORK R-Although foot
ball dominates the sports scene
these days, major league baseball
officials are not alternating for
the winter.
While the Monday morning quar-
terbacks were replaving Saturdays
big pigskin games, baseban's brass
quietly went about setting their
house in order for the 1858 and
future seasons.
The big news of the day was
the signing of Casey Stengel as
manager of the world champion
New York Yankees for the next
two seasons.
During lengthy press session.

conditional release of Charley Kel-
ler, 36-year-old former star out

his only time at bat for the Yanks.
The big ball hawk was a main
stay on the Yanks' pennant winners
of 1889, l941, 1912, l943. He was
released by the Yanks after the
l949 season and played with De-
troit in 1850 and 1851.
Two former Yankee chattels,
pitchers Frank Hitler and Bob
Keegan. also figured in the base

Reds while the Chicago White Sox
bought Keegan from the Syracuse

The Giants surrendered minor
league outfielders Gail Henley in
order to lure Hitler from the Reds.

At Weekly Quarterback Club Meeting

Hotel last night, heard Key
West High School football coach
Ed Beckman tell them what he
thinks it is going to take to whip

the perfect Conch grid record.
I'VE are going TO have to de-
pend on something more than

Beckman also pointed out
that the locals are going to

from a T formation and fea-

Beckman is holding tough work

the contest, the Conchs COM
