under which they sought shelter,
and coursed down to them.

If your curiosity has been aroused
this month by the sight of a little
man apparently not a native of the
area intently digging in neighbor-
ing fields and along roadsides, un-
doubtedly you would like to know
more about DR.. J. Price Pearson,
Bluffton Colleges most unique sum-
mer student.
DR.. Pearson, chairman of the divi-
sion Of natural science at Daniel
Paune Junior College, Birmingham,
Ala, is following his usual summer
practice of taking refresher courses
at one or more colleges or universities.
From 20 college catalogues, he
was attracted to Bluffton, for one
reason = because he had never heard
before of the Mennonites. 1t was a
toss-up between Western Reserve and
Bluffton. The Mennonites won ii for
the latter. DR.. Pearson, himself, is
Seventh Day Adventist.
Biuffton's southern visitor is
now studying inorganic chemistry
under the supervision of Or. Richard
Weaver and learning about Men
nonites.

Scant Early Apple
Crop Slows Flow OF
Cider From Presses
Apple Harvest Estimated
50 Per Cent Lighter
Than Last Year

Prospects for the late summer
fruit season in the Bluffton area were
dim this week with the report that
the 1854 apple crop is expected to be
only about so pen cent of the bump
er crop harvested last year.
The shortage of early apples has
already made itself felt in the cider
mill operations of Seth Basinger,
west of Bluffton, operator of the
Morning Star cider press.
Mr.. Basinger's mill began last
week to press out the golden juice,
but thus far business has not been
rushing, and will not reach its peak
until later apples begin to ripen.
Following the usual cycle of a
scant crop following bumper one,
the shortage was aggravated by late
frosts which killed many of the early
apple blossoms.
The shortage of early apples, Mr..
Basinger said, has extended to the
large fruit growing districts of the
Lake Erie region.
On the other hand peaches are in
abundance with the crop expected to
be greatly in excess of last year.
Heavy rains of the past few months
have contributed to the bumper crop
in most sections of northwestern
Ohio.

Mayor Tripplehorn told village
council at its recent meeting that he

Meredith, attorney for the Parks
Klay Co., operator Of a large Bea-
verdam truck stop, who, according to
the Parks Klay management, has
been working for better telephone
service for Beaverdam for the last

Bluffton's Most Unique Summer Student
Is Chiropidist As Well As HerpetoIogist

DIR. Pearson has been spending
most of his time in the chemistry
lab, but as an amateur herpetologist,
he spends week ends alone in fields
and woods searching for specimens
of snakes and native plant and wild
life. He has covered the farms of
John Everett and w. A. Amstutz,
and is happy to have found several
specimens to take with him back to
Alabama.
DIR. Pearson says that his activities
have attracted the attention of pub
lie officials who have stopped to in
vestieate his digging. When they
learn his purpose and interest in
wild life, they have been satisfied.
An unusually versatile man, he
holds a degree in Chiropody and Foot
Surgery from Illinois College of
Chiropody in Chicago. Back in
Birmingham, Dr. Pearson practices
his profession at his office in the
evenings, teaches during tha daytime.

Vandals Damage
Park Property
At Buckeye Lake
Sportsmen's Club Directors
To Confer With Council
men On Problem

lncensed over numerous acts of
vandalism this summer at Buttons
Buckeye Lake park, directors of the
Community Sportsmen's Club have
called a special meeting Friday eve
ming 1880 p. m. to discuss the prob
lem with members of the town coun-
Gil at the park shelter house where
the results of the property destruc-
ton viii be inspected.
A series of incidents during recent
months was climaxed recently when
Lawrence Hosafros of Cherry street
reported that someone had ripped in
to shreds the canvas cover on a boat
he keeps at the Buckeye lake. The
damage apparently had been inflicted
by knife.
Several doors from the interior of
the old bath house have also been re-
moved and thrown into Riley creek.
In other instances boats have been
cut loose from their moorings and
picnic tables have been broken and
tossed into the quarry.
Members of the Sportsmen's club,
which has undertaken the task of
maintaining the park, have been dis
mayed at the negligence of persons
using the grounds for picnic and rec
reation purposes. They report that
waste paper has been carlessly
strewn over the grounds, bottles have
been broken and the glass allowed to
lie where it fell.
Weeds have been permitted to
grow without cutting along the banks
of the lake and careless fishermen
have left their worm cans behind
them, contributing to the generally
unkempt appearance of the park.
Means of controlling the vandals
and making park visitors more re-
spectiful of the property will be dis
cussed at the meeting.
