Contents of the jackpot included
an electric broiler, Westinghouse
mixer, five piece club aluminium set,
case of jam, jellies, six pairs nylon
hose, three piece set of jewelry and
pedigreed cocker spaniel with a
six months supply of food.
A bit of quick thinking plus ex-
pert knowledge of horses averted
what might have been serious ac-
cident at Bluffton's rodeo last Fri
day night. 1t all happened so quick
ly and was handled so skillfully that
few of the big crowd under the lights
at Harmon field knew what had hap
pened.
T 1t happened when a wild bronc
charged thru the fence at the far
end of the field and rolled into the
crowd jam-packing the wire fence.
The rider was pinned down under
the horse when the animal became
enmeshed in the fence and fell on
him.
Quick action on the part of by
stander, Pat Patterson, Findlay
horseman, averted injury to rider
and spectators when he pinned the
horses head to the ground, keeping
the animal quiet until further assist
ance arrived.
Bluffton rounding out 120 years of
its existence-six score years since
that summer of 1882 when Joseph
DeFord built little water powered
grist mill on the banks of Riley
creek not far from the North Main
street bridge.
The settlement fourished almost
from the start and Bluffton with a
diversified group of small industries,
reviewed in the News last year, soon
became known as "a good town to
trade in"
But it was at the turn of the
century when fortune smiled and the
oil boom poured unexpected and un-
dreamed of wealth into the village
which soon was reflected in rising
living standards and as in Kansas
City it seemed as if "things had
gone about as fur as they could 60"
However in those days households
had no running water-it was car
ried from the well and heated in
the big reservoir on the kitchen
stove . the new city light plant
furnished direct current for those
swanky families who had electric
lights-from dusk until midnight
nobody needed current after mid
night because folks went to bed at
reasonable hours instead of staying
up all night for radio and television
programs there was no day
current because no one needed lights
in the daytime and there wasn't an
electric motor in town-the dentist
operated his equipment by foot
power and steam engines and horses
furnished the power for about every
thing else there were no auto
mobiles or filling stations-or
traffic lights--or sewage disposal
or ractors-hitching racks took the
place of parking lots crude oil
was refined to get kerosene and

st. Swithin's day coming next
Monday-and Bluffton area parched
from one of the most severe early
summer droughts in years is cycling
the calendar with hope.
You will recall that according ito
the old tradition the weather on st.
Swithin's day sets the pattern for
the next forty days-so here's hoping
for showers Monday-forty days of
rain is a lot of water, to be sure,
but it'll take a lot before we have
anything like surplus.
Speaking of rain-that shower we
had last Thursday-the only one in
recent weeks, was accurately pre-
dicted by Merrill Smith, one of the
teen age girls at Victor Faber's
twirling school on the College cam
pus this week.
Arriving here last Thursday morn
ing from Harlingen, deep in southern
Texas, she confidently announced
that We'll have rain ito day." She
explained that showers had followed
her all the way north. Stopping at
Houston, Texas, it rained-and at
another stop in st. Louis, rain
and surely enough in Bluffton last
Thursday, it rained.
This is as good a place as any to
introduce our new chief, Milton I.
Edwards who's taken over Ted's place
as editor. Mr.. Edwards comes from
Lockland, near acknowledgements
Der Lockland-Wayne of basketball
fame-that's his home town.
We've learned to like him a lot
in the short time he's been here and
you will like him, too. Now when
you come in the front office and you
see a stranger at the desk, that's
him-so just go up and introduce
yourself. He will be glad to meet
you and you'll find him most person
able and accommodating. He is
planning to move his family-wife
and two children-here as soon as
possible.
1t was quite a varied collection of
prizes won by Mrs. jeanette Slechter
of Lima, formerly of Bluffton, Rt. 1,
when she visited Tom Moore's pro-
gram Ladies Fair" while vacation
ing in Chicago and won the junior
jackpot there.

batting is not necessary. Warfarin
can be dangerous to livestock and
other farm animals but it must be
consumed in sufficient concentra-

lessening the danger.
Warfarin concentrate. dry pow

Warfarin or fruits. Cereal bait
FORMULA material has certain
advantages in that it reduces the haz-
ard to domestic animals and pets and
retards bait spoilage. Bats of other
materials must be frequently re-
placed, often daily, but under some
circumstances they may be more att

An example of warfarin formula
to prepare 10 pounds of mouse and
rat bait follows:

(0.5qo) ................ 11z-lb.
Powdered Sugar ........1 cup
Vegetable Oil (such as cot
tonseed or corn) ......1 cup
Ready-mixed warfarin bats are
also available.
Properly. mixed bait should be
made available until feeding stops.
After that few permanent stations
should be kept to control newcomers.
Bait To protect other animals
Stations the bats should be placed
in shallow containers along rat and

boards Mailed to wall at 45-degree
angle) or in specially constructed

with 3-inch opening in each end).
All rodents found dead from poison
should be burned or buried. Help in
organizing and conducting poisoning
campaigns may be secured from the
rodent and predator control division
of the Fish and Wildlife service, Bill
lings.
Trapping is recommended in areas
where poison cannot be used and as
supplement or follow-up for
poisoning. Use wooden base snap

Police in Capetown
Secretly Reinforced,
|MaIan Official Hints
BY the Associated Press

CAPETOWN. South. africa, May
1.-Justice Minister J. r. Swart
suggested last night hundreds of
well armed police have been
brought here secretly because op-
position white and non-white
groups have threatened violence.
Mr.. Swart and Prime Minister
Daniel Malan have been pressed
by the opposition in Parliament
for two days to explain why the
country has been combed for
police reinforcement during the
parliamentary debate on South
Africa's constitutional crisis.
Mr.. Swart would not disclose
precise reasons for the extra
precautions. But he limited
broadly the government expected
trouble over its new moves to
push through its white supremacy
program. He said the Nationalist
regime had noted these threats:
Leaders Of Negro, Indian and
mixed race groups have said they
intend soon to launch campaign
|of defiance against the race laws
which they deem unjust.
Leaders Of the militant Torch
Commando. group of white war
veterans bitterly opposing the Ma
tionalist government, have threat
ened to paralyze the country in a
day of national protest.
Opposition United Party leader
y. G. N. Strauss has warned that
anti-government groups would
meet force with force" If the
Nationalist got rough.
The pro- United Party newspaper
Cape Argus suggested the govern
ment may be planning raids and
arrests of the Torch Commands
and the police have been brought
Ito Capetown to protect the gov
Iernment and Parliament against
possible counter demonstrations.
In the heavily-guarded Assem-
bly, yesterday, Mr.. Strauss formally
challenged the governments right
to push through its bill creating
a high parliamentary court which
could. overrule the nations judi
ciary.
