NO ONE WALKS ALONE on an
October night. Crisp autumn winds
send thousand chattering leaves
scurrying ahead in your path, and one
hears protests underfoet as you crush
into dust the dying ones.
Overhead, as though complaining
that their last fling of glorious color
is at an end, naples and oaks whisper
sadly to each other. Here and there
softer voiced pines and frs seem
smugly pleased with themselves at
not having to stand naked through
the winter.
Along Bluffton side streets
black trunks with grotesque bare
limbs crowd the sidewalks and
threaten to push cement blocks
aside one feels almost an in
truder, and that the night belongs
to the surrounding vegetation.
But here and there street bulbs
cast friendly islands of light
through lacy filigree of leaves
and branches.
HOUSES CHANGE their person
alities at night, and the stroller has
his opportunity of gaining an insight
he has not known before. Houses are
not seen for their age or their exter-
ior paintwork, or line and design. At
night house is turned inside out to
the passerby. .......
There are friendly ones with
broad open windows rejecting
comfortable and CHEEKY interiors
-. little houses full of light and
warmth big lonely houses
with only a single dim light that
awaits the return of departed
owners.
Some windows bear the fingermark
tracery of children and little nose
smudges that make them interesting

hung curtains signalize the small fry
has grown up and the house itself
has lost some of it's spirit.

Mainly Personal

portunity for an early evening
walk this month, hurry before
October ends and somber Noyem-
Der breathes chill through your
topcoat and hastens what should
be leisurely steps.
HOW MANY TIMES have you
caught yourself thinking, "I've done
this very same thing under the very
same circumstances before. AS a
matter of fact | have said the very
same words and | know what I'm go
ing to do in the next few moments.
know also what my companion is go-
ing to say, for he has said it before"
On such occasions you are not
positive that two such incidents could
be almost identical and you wonder
if you have been dreaming. Most
times you never really knew for "a
fact that it was a repetition.
Recently the Dallas Berry family
was surprised to run across the Clair
Herr family at Old Mans Cave near
Logan, Ohio on Sunday. 1t was just
a yea rago that the Berrys and the
Herrs met at the very same spot
while touring the scenic wonderland.
They visited Conkle Hollow, Cantweu
Cliffs and the Rock House.
BUT A MORE INCREDIBLE
STORY is this. Several years ago
Herman Hilty wa shunting pheasants
in the company of two Reading, Ohio,
friends . friends, incidentally, also
of ours. AS they walked at the fence
edge along roadside cock pheasant
took to wing and flew up into an over
head wire, broke his neck and fell
dead to the ground before the hunters
could fire shot.
Believe it or not, two or three years
later the very same incident repeated
itself in the very same spot before
the eyes of the very same men and
Herman will verify 1t.
NO ONE is BLAMING Mrs. F. d.
Rodabaugh for setting the woods on
fire, but it is an i'll wind which blows
no one good, and the forest fires in
southern Ohio did serve to enforce a
few hours of vacation upon her
husband.
She has been trying for some time
to get the doctor to take few days
off and managed Sunday to get him
to fly her down to New Philadelphia
for an afternoon visit with a doctor
friend and family at Sugar Creek.
When the forest fire smog became
dense later in the afternoon it ground
ed the Rodabaughs overnight and the
doctor had to take things easy while
friends here cancelled Monday morn.
ing appointments for him.
The Rodabaughs were driven home
by friends, arriving here Monday al
noon. They will rescue their plane
at later date.
| HALLOWEEN PRANKSTERS
found easy mischief early this week
and waste cans aplenty to overturn
on their rounds tbapkc to tba v;Ila on
waste collections favorable timing of
the monthly collection of non-com-
bustibles. With cans sitting out
overnight during Halloween week the
small fry had a picnic. 1t appeared
almost that the village was in league
with the goblins.
