Defense Costs Tipped

The Swedish defense budget for
1854 is expected to rise to
nearly 1000 million kronor. The
figure represents an increase of
about 500 million kronor over the
budget estimates for the national
defense 1928. The calculations
recently presented by the Com

Swedish Imports From
U. S. Drop, Less Expected

According to American statist-
les, Sweden's dollar gap is consid-
erabl smaller than that of most
other WestEuropean countries.
During the first seven months of
1852, Sweden's exports to the IN
tied States covered 90 per cent of
its imports from the same country
The fourth annual report from
the Organization for European Ec-
onomic Cooperation, howev
points out that Sweden, which
does not receive any foreign aid,
may have to cut down its imports
from America. Increased exports
of high-quality products of the en-
cheering industry should, on the
other hand, be possible. During
the first nine months of 1852, SO
per cent of total Swedish exports
went to the United States. as COM
pared with 81 per cent in 1850 and
six per cent in 1851. While Swe-
dish cellulose shipments have de-
creased, exports of iron ore and
of many industrial pre- ducts have
been stepped up considerably.

| TROUT DERBY WEATHER,
which last year brought shirt-sleeve
temperatures, is likely to be just as
good and perhaps a mite better this
Sunday, according to Gene Benroth,
who bases his favorable Derby-Day
weather predictions on the early ar
rival this year of Ding, the post
office bat.
Last year, it seems, "Ding" blew
| into town to take up his summer
quarters under the post office caves
just the night before the Derby. Just
as the first Robin, arriving oft times
in the late winter is the harbinger of
| spring, Benroth believes that Ding's
arrival can be considered a sign of
summer weather ahead.
! Why summer days did not start
last Tuesday when the post office
bat came to town, Mr.. Benroth
does not take the trouble to ex-
plain. If Ding brought good
weather for the Derby last year,
why shouldn't he bring a balmy
day this Sunday, the derby pro-
moter reasons.
This is the third year that the air
borne mammal, Mr.. Ding, if you
please, has made his abode at the
Bluffton post office. Now his arrival
| and departures are matter of gov
ernment record, kept on the building
wall by Bluffton's official bat OBJ
server.
Ding is believed to be a bachelor
bat, postal employees having never
| observed him with a mate, and the
| lack of bat children from year to year
| offering good reason to believe that it
is not Mrs. Ding who spends the day
light hours in a hole under the cave.
AND IF the weather is right
this year, and the crowd of Derby
fishermen and spectators reaches
the high point of last year, new
service being offered by the
towns farm implement dealers
will come in mighty handy. TAX
| ing a lead from the Ohio State
Fair, the local dealers will hitch
low farm wagons to their tractors
and haul passengers from their
parked autos to the fishing
grounds at Buckeye quarry.
The wagons will make regular
rounds all afternoon carrying
passengers as an accommodation
and friendly Bluffton gesture.
| WEATHER OF A DIFFERENT
KIND was blown up by heavy winds
| across the midwestern plains last
week and Bluffton escaped the worst
of it although tornado warnings were
| aired by the local radio stations. Not
so fortunate were Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles F. Criblez, former Bluffton
residents now living at Armstrong,
Ill.,, and their daughter and son-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Cleve Stiles.
In the path of the tornado the
families miraculously escaped
serious injury or death when
wind demolished the home and
every building on the Stiles farm
and leveied all the buildings on
the Criblez farm except the
house, which was badly damaged.
They have taken refuge at the
home of a son, Mr.. and Mrs. Alan
Criblez and another daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Creighton, in
Potomac, H., until their homes can
be repaired and rebuilt.
Their homes were located 20 miles
from Bismark, which was badly hit,
and near Danville, also damaged.
Mrs. Stiles, carrying her eight
months-old son, was literally blown
from the bedroom into farm lot just
as the house collapsed.
