The Return Of An Era?

their entertainment and recreation home town talent
upon entertainers brought here for the enjoyment of the

revival of such era.
National holidays, with everyone from every city and
hamlet taking the highways have created such traffic
congestion that much of the pleasure of driving has dis
appeared And death tolls from traffic accidents mount
higher with each passing weekend vacation period More
and families deciding to avoid the hazards of holiday
touring and depending upon their communities for fun and
relaxation days of release from the workaday schedule
In this respect, with the Fourth of July approaching,

Certainly it does everyone good to Jump in the old family

Village, School
Officials Busy
On 1854 Budgets

Bluffton and other Allen county
taxing subdivisions soon will be COM
pleting their 1854 budgets, copies of
which must be on file with the county
auditor by July 20.
At least two copies of each propos-
ed budget are supposed to be on file
for public inspection in the office of
the fiscal officer of each subdivision
not less than 10 days before adoption
of the budget, according to a county
announcement,
Also, at least one hearing must be
held on the budget, after public notice
by newspaper legal advertising not
less than 10 days in advance of the
budget hearing.
"In spite of these two require
ments, and the fact that preparing a
budget isn't exactly simple job, it's
a safe bet that work hasn't been
started yet on many budgets in the
county," county official declared in
commenting on the Forthcoming dead
line.
The required public hearing, time
for public inspection and the Today
advance notice of hearing are design
ed to allow the taxpaying public
adequate time to dig into fiscal affairs
and determine whether their tax dol.
lars are being properly handled, il

Mainly Personal

NO ONE HAD TO LOOK at the
calendar last week to know that
summer had officially taken over the
reins, and with spring bowling off the
local stage in Saturday temperature
es ranging up to 80 degrees, what can
one expect of July and August?
After a normal rainfall during
May, the heavenly faucets seemed to
run dry this month and local lawns
and gardens are beginning to show
the effects of thirst. The one bright
spot of the hot July dry spell was
that local farmers have had ample
time to make hay and get their crop
safely into the barns with little loss
and it appears the wheat crop
will be harvested early this summer
with fields already turning amber =. :.
elsewhere the lush ripening colors of
early summer the cherry crop
turning bright red huge blurps
of white elderberry blossoms :. and
the deep greens of the first water
melons making their appearance in
the front of Main street food en-
poriums.
YES, THE WATERMELON and
ice cream season was definitely here
with the Senior Class and their help
full MONS presiding over one of the
first Ice Cream Socials Saturday
on the elementary school grounds.
Paris sidewalk cafes could have no
more charm or offer more pleasure
than eating fresh cherry pie and
chicken sandwiches with the family
under the big elms on the schoolhouse
grounds.
And the big Fourth of July
Celebration now looming only
week hence with an entertain
ment bill of fare unrivaled by
communities much larger the
annual robeO, an event in itself
worth travelling far to see, yet
topped off with a pioneer day
parade commemOrating the Buck
eye states sesquicentennial, store
windows full of family heirloOms
of past generations, and the dedi-
cation of the towns new elec'
trOnic chimes.

time five or six years ago when
Tony, out to establish a record
for consecutive attendance at
Sunday School, decided to keep
his record perfect by attending
the Indiana Sunday School en-
route to Louisville.
The Travises were made to feel so
welcome in the little church by mem
bers OF its friendly congregation that
the Sunday stop is now considered a
must" by both the Travis family,
and their friends in the Hoosier town.
AN EDITORIAL last week citing
the national debt at S23 billion ap-
parently was only wishful thinking
Or typewriter error-for Prof.
Howard Raid, who watches those
things more closely than we, calls at
tention that the country's present
debt is now close to S159 billion.
After figures get beyond the stature
of our weekly pay envelope, they
completely befuddle us. However the
debt broken down to family aver
age of $500 was correct. This we
can better understand
But while producing his evil
dence of our error, Prof. Raid
came up with another interesting
statistic citing the fact that the
u. S. population is increasing at
the rate of over 800 persons per
hour. While you are reading this
item, we guess there must have
been about ten more births than
deaths. Well, the more the mer-
rier, to help shoulder that S159
billion debt.

made it out on the street too late to

LAST WEEKS mention of the
good old days when a dollar would
do more than buy lone watermelon
brought John Garlinger into the
News office with receipts taken from
the records of C.. Rossman, onetime
Bluffton grocer, in which Mr.. Ross
man had paid $1.84 for a barrel of
soda crackers weighing as pounds.
That was in the day before fancy
packaging and the cracker barrel
served more purposes than that of
dispensing crackers. 1t became
council table for the town sages. And
Mr.. Rossman bought his mustard by
the keg at $1.75 instead of in little
jars complete with colored plastic
spoons. Fifty-four pounds of linn
burger cheese wholesaled at that time
by the Sandusky Picking Co. for
121a cents per pound. The billhead,
dated December 6, 1895 advertised
the firm as manufacturers of crystal
white sauerkraut,"
