AMONG MOST UNU S U A L
Christmas Greetings might be class
ed the 40-pound "card" received here
by Albert Kohler of South Jackson
avenue. The greeting was sent to
the Bluffton man in the form of a
gigantic banana squash on which had
been painted in red letters, "Merry
Christmas, Ohio"
The sender, Don Abe, Engle-
wood, California, fruit market
operator, was not sending greet
ings to the entire state but to
his friend, Albert Kohler, whom
he has nicknamed "Ohio" some
time ago when Albert was visit
ing his daughter and family, Mr..
and Mrs. Cliff Elliott in Engie-
wood.
The big squash, measuring more
than SO inches in length, reposed for
several days in The Bluffton News
window.
at was just one of our smaller
SQUASH" said Mr.. Elliott, "we didn't
have room in the car for full
grown one of the California variety"
IN ALL HIS so YEARS
Theodore Stepleton has never
missed spending a single Christ
mas Eve at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Step
Teton on North Lawn avenue,
and only on two occasions have
any of his,fossg children missed
the annual family reunion with
their grandparents.
This year, however, the gathering
was more quiet and brief than
usual since 1t had to be held in
Bluffton Community hospital, where
grandma was a patient. But the
damper was on the gathering only
for Christmas Eve because on Christ
mas day, Mrs. Stepleton was per-
mitted to return to her home.
The grandchildren, twins Ted and
Jim, are rs and twins Bob and
Roberta are %. Only Ted has miss
ed one Christmas Eve reunion and
that was when he was serving with
the Army in Korea in 1852, and Ro-
berta, missed last year, when she
spent Christpi las Eve with the par
ents of her husband.
