36 Clubs Join In
Kiwanis Peanut
Sale; Kids Day

Thirty-six Kiwanis Clubs in
Cuyahoga County will undertake
their biggest job in history on
Saturday, September 26th, when
they will be out hawking the sale
of peanuts on the fifth annual ma
tional observance of National
Kids Day.
Aided by boys and girls clubs
and organizations throughout
Greater Cleveland, the Kiwanians
will attempt to raise thousands of
dollars through the sale of more
than 250,000 bags of peanuts on
street corners, in business estab-
lishments, at football games and
wherever people gather, with all
proceeds going to youth activities
work of the Kiwanis Clubs.
This is the fourth straight year
in which Kiwanians are selling
peanuts in Cleveland, and it is by
far their biggest undertaking to
date as all of the clubs In the
county are taking part. In addi-
ton to the clubs in this area, sew
eral hundred clubs throughout the
country are following the lead of
the local Kiwanians and are join
ing in selling peanuts as part
of their National Kids Day pro-
gram of raising funds for youth
work.
Formed as a non-profit company
last year to run the drive is Cleve-
land Kiwanis Kids Day, Inc, the
operating organization of the XII
wanians which is spearheading the
drive all over the nation.
President of the group is r. r.
Stratton, of the East Cleveland
Kiwanis Club, while other officers
are Malcom Heed, former Ohio
Kiwanis Governor, first vice presi-
dent; Vic Lindstrom, second vice
president; DR.. Oliver Herke, secre-
tary, and Karl n. Brown, Treas
urer.
National Kids Day was origin
ated by the nationally syndicated
newspaper and radio columnist
Jimmy Fidler and differs from
other days" during the year in
that it is not gift-giving day,
but rather, day for raising funds

for, and otherwise assisting, chill
dren's activities work.
Each club is setting a minimum
Of ten cents as the price per bag
of peanuts, but it is expected that
the generous people of this COM
munity will be giving as much as
a dollar, perhaps more, for bag
of peanuts. Whatever the amount,
however, the Kiwanians will use
all of the net proceeds to promote
youth activities.
So, friends, next week when you
see boys and girls, and grownups,
too, wearing peanut caps, and car
rying baskets of peanuts for sale,
open your pocketbooks and purses.
Buy bag of peanuts, whether you
are particularly fond of them or
not. Every bag sold means a boy
or girl somewhere in this commun-
ity will be made happier.

IT WASN'T NEWS to Delbert

1T WASN'T NEWS to Delbert
Gratz, who is an authority on such
matters, but it was news to us to
learn that there are Mennonite set
Elements Of considerable size in Mex
leo yes, spots in Mexico
where the sombrero does not grow
quite so tall, but the houses and the
barns of efficient farmers tower
above those of the native Mexicans.
In a travel article in The Christian
Science Monitor, the writer tells of
the Mennonite Colonies of the State
of Chihuahua, where large people
with blond hair and china-blue eyes
work in the fields in contrast to their
smaller dark haired neighbors.
There is a largeness here, strange
in a nation where men and animals
and houses are generally small. The
Mennonite houses are usually two
stories tall, and the barns are huge"
the writer says.
'Instead of adobe farm huts,
put together with charming dis
regard for square corners, there
are foursquare houses and barns.
They, too, are adobe, but the
blocks are laid with the precision
of machine made brick" the ar
ticle stated in describing the
Mennonite homes.
The settlements number about 40,
and cover nearly 100000 acres of
land.
The cattle are tended by big, long
haired dogs, and great Percheron
horses draw the rubber-tired farm
wagons to market with fine white
cheeses and some of the best fruits
and vegetables grown in Mexico.
Mr.. Gratz tells us that the
Mexican settlements were opened
some 25 years ago by Menno-
mites from the Ukraine and HOl-

land. Originally settling in Can
ada, they moved to Mexico when
they were forbidden to teach the
German language in their COM
munities.
Last summer when their Mexican
farmlands were dought stricken, the
Mennonite Central Committee sent
relief aid to them.
These European agriculturists have
been made welcome by the Mexican
government, which is hopeful that
their progressive farming methods
will spread to the native population.
STRAWBERRY PATCHES seem
to be offering an abundant yield in
this vicinity despite the dry weather
of the past couple of weeks. Appar-
emily the abundance of rain early
in the blooming season accompanied
by rather short shut-off has de-
veloped numerous misshapen berries
in some patches. Joe Follas on the
Hillsdale road recently picked berries
which seemed to be "Siamese Quad
ruplets." Several of the fan-shaped
berries measured nearly three and a
half inches across, were rather fiat,
and supported on a stem four or five
times the diameter of an ordinary
berry stem.
ELMER "DOC" LUDWIG, Bluffton
shoe repairman, can always be de-
pended upon for few words of wis
dom about this time of year when he
turns the lock in his shop door and
heads for his annual fishing excur-
sion. His door sign gem this season
is as follows:
"There is six times as much water
as dry land on the earth. Any fool
should be able to see that the Lord
intended man to fish six times as
