LARGE CROWDS
USE LAKE COMO
Local Beach Attracts Bathers
From Wide Area and in
Greater Numbers
BEACH IMPROVED

More people are using the beach
facilities at Lake Como this year
than on previous years, according
to town officials, among them many
families with their children who
come down from Wilmington. Dur
ing the hot spell last week there
were between two and three hun
dred people on the beach in the
evenings, a noticeable increase
over any previous summer. Altho
there are visitors from many other
states, and large number beyond
the eighteen-mile limit who pay
for the privilege of using the beach,
the local people seem to be pre-
dominant in the evening. Kenneth
Attix is the lifeguard on duty from
10 am. to pm. every day includ-
ing Sunday, with Alec Wood as as
sistant lifeguard on Saturdays and
Sundays. Harry Faulkner is the
ticket seller at the beach this year.
Beach Improved
The beach was improved by the
placing of an additional fifty tons
of sand, and all facilities are avail
able. The concession on the shore
of the lake is open from 10 am. to
9 pm, manned by Patty Middle
ton and Karl Gebhart. The pic
turesque white lighthouse on the
beach is no longer there, having
been casualty of the "twister''
which struck Smyrna on June 10

At home? At work? On vacation?

Are you real sure? What makes you certain you

Fourth of July holiday trip - and won't back?
Not pleasant thought is it? You may even be little
provoked that we've brought it up.
Well, that's all right with For the provoked
you ge the you may think about this Fourth of July
traffic toll that annually makes out of holiday
that ought to be for pleasure and patriotism not for tragedy
You think it couldn't be you?
That's what the $50 people thought who killed over
the Memorial Day holiday just month That's what
the 1896 people thought who have died in holiday traffic in
the last six years.
Yes, that's right - 1896 people killed in holiday traffic
in the last six years Almost three times many were
killed at Pearl Harbor Half as many as have died for
America on the battlefelds of Korea.

The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1952-09-25

Buttons lone contribution to the
scoring of the evening was the
result of an Ada tumble on a bad
pass from the center. The Pirates
took possession of the ball on the
two-foot marker, with Skip Mahoney
ramming over for the touchdown
from that point.
Wayne Fleming, of Ada, tailed
two of his teams touchdowns, with
James Curtis, Won Carmean, Bob
Lamb and Eddie Baker adding other
six-pointers. Fleming scored the
only point after touchdown by catch
ing a pass from Lamb.
In the only Western Buckeye
league game played last week, st.
Marys added to their stature as the
favorite in the championship ace by
smothering Kenton, al to 0. 1t was
the first loop setback for K~enton,
which earlier had beaten Button.

Bulldogs ran roughshod over Bluffton
forces to cop a decisive 81 to 6
victory.
Earlier the Pirates had dropped a
II to 6 decision to Kenton in a
league contest.
Chieftans Twice Losers
Although additionally a strong
contender for loop grid honors, this
years B~ellefontaine outfit appears to
be having troubles in getting going,
much the same as the situation
which has faced Coach Pete Schmidt,
of the Pirates to date.
So far Bellefontaine has lost two
consecutive games, but their setback
last week at the hands of Sidney was
by a score of 7 to 0, an indication
that improvement is being shown in
the teams strength az the season
progresses.
Al-time competition between Bluff
ton and Bellefontaine teams has been
marked by seven victories for the
Chieftans and only six for the local
outfit. Two other contests have end
ed in scorless ties.
Last year B~ellefontaine topped the
Pirates, 26 to 0. The last Bluffton
win over the Chieftans was in 1949
when the locals copied a 13 to 81
decision.
Ada Win First In 8 Years
When Button lost to Ada last
week in the 81 to 6 rout, it marked
the first time in eight years that the
Bulldogs have come up with victory
over the Pirates.
Following a scoreless first quarter,
action picked up in the second stanza
when Ada counted three touchdowns,
two of which came within two MIN
utes. to take command of the play.
Another Ada touchdown was scored
in the third period, and two lore
were punched across in the ina
stanza.

COru-RaUsOn EIeUen
Crush Another Foe

Cory-Rawson exploded for a 81 to
0 victory over Liberty last Friday
night at the Harnets' field for the
second demonstration in a row of
the teams crushing gridiron power.
Pacing the scoring avalanche of
the winners was Capt. A. William
son, ~all-county back, who racked up
four touchdowns. John Gauss had
two six pointers to his credit, and
Richard Heldman and David Creigh-
ton got one each.
On the basis of play so far, Cory
Rawson is one of the teams which
must be reckoned with in this years
Hancock county league championship
race. Other favorites will be Ar
lington, perennial champions who
topped Van Buren, last week, At to O.,
and McComb, victors last Friday
over Vanlue, 25 to 0.

HomQm0kQAA'
p &C QUIZ
Prepared by Office OF
Price Siobilizofion

@. Are there any ceiling prices
on storing and mothproofing fur
cOats?-Mrs. Bib, Wenatchee.
A. Charges for storage and moth
proofing of furs are under OPS
ceilings. Look for the posted pri-
ces when you take your coat in fol-
the summer.
@. Why aren't there any price
controls on fresh fruits and vege-
tables?-Mrs. w. N, Bremerton.
A. OPS cannot set ceiling prices
on most agricultural products until
the price reaches parity-that is, a
price set by the Department of Ag-
riculture to give the farmer a fair
return for what he must spend for
farm expenses. This is what hap
pened with white potatoes, you may
recall; the price rose sharply and
after it had reached parity, OPS
put ceilings on.
@. How can you tell if you're
being Overcharged for auto re-
pairs?-T. r., Toppenish.
A. All auto repairs are under OPS
ceilings, and there should be a list
of the charges prominently posted
in the shop. Check your bill against
the posted list.

America turned against this war as
soon as Hoover broadcast his views Mr..
Truman is wonderful at sensing politi-

anti-war majority in the United States,
the truce talks" were begun in July
This has led to nothing, because the
Asiatics agree with Hoover about our
getting out of Asia, and we fear an eco

war economy. And if we return to the
first principle of democracy, dethrone-

For this latter principle, making the
Civil Authority superior to the Mill
tary, we fought the Revolution. Eighty
five per cent of the national budget
now goes for war. They who hold the
purse have the power.
We could learn something from New
China. Three million conquering Com
munist soldiers were put last summer
to building dykes for flood control We,
too, could have peace and avoid de-
preston if we put the army to work on
Valley Authorities.
The next move of the Brass Hats to
retain power is to run Eisenhower for
President. The American people are
often foolish, but they are hardly crazy
enough since General Grants debacle
as president, to elect another general
to that office.
Meanwhile, our casualties have ex-
ceeded those of the Japanese war. we
