Over the years Triplett sports
teams have made name for them
selves among the athletic powers in
the area and have helped greatly to
keep the Triplett Electrical Instru-
ment Co., before the public eye and
provide a recreational outlet for en-
ployees and sports1ninded people of
the community.
Sports became apart of the compa-
ny's program back in the middle
thirties and since that time have con-
tributed greatly as public relations
media and have been the start which
has sent many Bluffton athletes on to
fame in the sports world.
Three Allen county softball cham
pionships in the past four years have
been won by the Triplett team. In
1850, '51 and again in '53 the Triplett-
men walked away with honors in the
county tourney. They were runners
up in 1947.
Some of the men who have guided
the fortunes of the softball teams
over the years include Jesse Manages,
Fred Wenger, Dale Davidson, Coach
A. C. Burcky, Charles Steiner, May
nard Geiger and Ken Moser.
Basketball was returned to the
sports program last winter for the
first time in more than a decade and
the Triplettmen made a fine showing
by capturing Al of 81 contests. The
schedule pitted them against many of
the areas best outfits

The basketball team was managed
by Harry Klay who returned about a

Gas Fuel Freeze"
Lifted In BlufftOn

For the first time in many years
Bluffton area residents are being in
vited to use freely gas fuel for heat
ing without getting on long waiting
list or offering special reasons why
they should be permitted to burn gas.
A sweeping order set forth last
week by the State Utilities Commits
sion authorizes West Ohio and most
other gas companies to clean up
backlogs of old requests for heating
units and to fill new orders on a
relatively unlimited basis.
1t was the most sweeping relaxa-
ton of gas heating controls since
1947. -& E.
The old freeze order limited con-
versions to gas. from other fuels by
permitting the gas companies to in
stall only one conversion unit to each
new gas heating unit installed.
"The "unfreeze" order applies to
both conversion and new gas furnaces
provided requests are filed and the
applicants live in areas already
served.

KNOW YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY

You can't catch fish without
going fishing, and the chances
are you'll catch more and larger
fish if you fish at the right time
Season of the year, time Of day
volume of water, and phase OF
the moon may affect the result.
Nor can you collect social
security benefits without filing a
claim. Furthermore, the amount
you collect may well depend
upon when you apply. A safe
rule to follow is to inquire be-
fore you retire. BY doing that
you make doubly sure-sure you
don't lose benefits and sure you
get the highest possible amount.
Your nearest social security
office is the place to go. The
people there stand ready to ad-
wise you as to what you should
do, and when.
If you are now receiving bene-
fits, or have applied for them,
there are several additional
facts of which you should be
aware. Your first check may be
delayed somewhat because of the
thousands now being processed
in social security offices through
out the country. When you re-
ceive it, it may well include pay
ments for more than one month.
Thereafter, your monthly check
should arrive early each month
and will be payment of the pre-
ceding months benefit.
If you change your address,
notify your social security office
promptly This will help assure
your receiving your checks on
time. If you earn more than SIS
in any month working for some
one else, report it at once. Also
tell the social security office if
you're averaging more than SIS
each month in self-employment
earnings. Here again, promptly
reporting may well save you
time and money at a later date.
The GAINESVILLE social security
office is open Monday thru Fri
day from $50 a. m. till 500 .. m.
Mr.. Herman R. Frame, Social
Security Field Representative
froms the GAINESVILLE office, holds
office hours in Caldwell the
second Wednesday of each
month. He has office hours in
the Patriotic Room at the Court
house.
