And courage to take the blow

A TON OF HAMBURGER, we
have learned is a great pile of ground
beef. And it seems we hoped into
the middle of the skillet last week
when we said fupon good advice" we
had it that one restauranteur had
found that a ton of berger material
was not enough to take care of the
heavy demand of that pack of high
school musicians who footed their
horns and ate out the town Saturday
a week ago.
One restauranteur, who apparently
did not dispose of ton of hamburg
er. tells US that a ton of ground beef
would make about 5000 average size
Bluffton Bergers. Two thousand kids,
he declared, are not likely to eat
5000 bergers- at least from one
restaurant.
We have not been able to alibi
completely out of this one except to
say that our informer may have been
figuring his hamburger on the hoof.
Counting out heavy bones and hide
maybe his bergers did weigh a ton at
the start. Or it could be that the en-
tire hamburger story became twisted
with the Sportsmen's account Of the
ton of fish they recently put in the
Buckeye. Which reminds US that one
local fisherman reports having caught
a hamburger 18 inches long while
using a dry fly last Saturday.
Whoops! There we did it again. Got
our hamburger and fish stories mixed.
THE SPRING MUSHROOM
HUNT is on! And from now on
the tales of mushroom hunters
will rival those of the fisherman
in describing the size and quanti-
ty of their finds. First to report
finding the succulent fungi this
spring was Paul Shulaw who said
that he picked up IL of the
sponge type last Sunday in an
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1954-04-15
Mainly Personal

orchard. Shulaw's mushrooms
were three-inchers.
Just to prove his find and
register" the date, Paul carried
them into town and showed them
to Lena Dillman at the News
Stand and to Bud Hermann, a
mushroom hunter himself of no
minor repute. AT the time Paul
said he only had five mushrooms,
but later found six more to make
up mice mess"
The Shulaw find was on the
same location where he picked up
a number of the spOnges last
March while there was still snow
on the ground.

JUST ABOUT THE TIME the
town council learned tnat the state
highway department is planning to
build new bridge over the Riley on
Route 1O3 here in town, along comes
a copy of the Vancouver Sun from
Alvin A. Fett, telling about the new
bridge they've dedicated there over
False Greek. The new span, con-
structed at a cost of $l6,000,0O0 will
carry eight lanes of traffic, and spans
nearly mile of water and land.
IN ORDER TO ATTEND the
Masonic breakfast here in Bluffton
last Saturday morning, John Spang-
Ter of Columbus who still maintains
his membership in the Blufton lodge,
reused himself at 5 a. m. and made
the drive here in time for ham and
eggs with his Bluffton friends.
The breakfast was prepared by a
group of kitchen experts including
Hiram Huser, Richard Lewis, Howard
Stauffer, Art AugsburgeB William
Amstutz, Kent Amstutz, James

their work in a theater or con-
cert hall.
This correspondent caught up
with two of them-Ballet Mis-
tress Betty Farrally and Baller-
ina Jean Stoneham-yesterday
and luncheon couldn't have been
happier. 1t is the sort of meet
ing that leaves the impression
all ballet people should live for
a while in the robustly healthy
atmosphere of Winnipeg.
Mrs. Farrally. the driving
spirit of the Royal Winnipeg
Company with Miss Gweneth
Lloyd. is the most gracious and
witty driving spirit any one
could hope to meet. Driving
spirits are not usually blithe
types. Mrs. Farrally is. She
can see no reason why ballet
cannot be an art and fun at
the same time, an attitude that
clearly has infected her charges.
Her English poise-she's from
Yorkshire-is up to even lis
degree changes in temperature
encountered in the first week of
the f1ve-weeks' tour which the
company has Just started. She
arrives at that figure by adding
our 65-degree temperature to
the 50-below one the company
encountered recently at White
Horse
Seems tropical here, to her.
Miss Stoneham is a match
ingly blithe ballerina. She is
deadly serious about her dane
ing. but not about luncheon
which consisted Of fruit salad
with blob of ice cream instead
of the standard cottage cheese.
Miss Stoneham who looks so
tall and willowy on her toes at
the National is much shorter
if no less willowy-at luncheon.
She is only five feet, four inches
tall. and weighs lot pounds. an
interesting statistic that comes
out when the talk gets around
to the fact that ballet dancers eat
like horses. Horses restricted
to fruit salads and ice cream
probably would hate Mrs. Far
rally. but that is obviously an
other story.
1t was from Miss Stoneham
