Giant Squid.

Giant squid, sea serpent anc
octopus form a trio of unsavory
reputation. From time to time
lurid tales have appeared that
persons in small boats at sea
have been plucked from them by
long snake-like arms that rose
unexpectedly out of the sea. The
giant squid of the North Pacific
possesses pair of arms capable
of a very long, deadly reach.
The gaint squid plays a
strange role in the life of man
He is supposed to be the cause
of q digestive disorder in the
stomach of the sperm whale that
swallowed him. thus creating
ambergris, that precious waXy
substance used as a fiXative in
costly perfumes.
The giant is the largest men,
ber of his clan in the world with
a spread of Is feet from arm to
arm tip and from $3.50 feet long
Very few of these monsters have
been sighted alive Measure
ments and color pattern have
been obtained from the occa-
sional dead ones cast ashore
For some reason, as yet unknown
more of these giants have been
discovered on the beaches OF
Newfoundland than any other
place.
Sperm whales prey upon these
formidable sea monsters and 1t
is rightly understood some vio-
lent struggles take place far be-
low the surface when these two
meet face to face. The sperm
whale does not escape unscathed,
he bears wounds the size of a
dinner plate made by his victim
The horny beaks of the squid
found later in the sperm whale
indicates who won the battle.
Many persons confused the oc-
topus and the squid, forgetting
that the octopuses have eight
arms and lack any type Of in
ternal skeleton, whereas squids
have eight arms plus two tenta-
cles of 35 feet long and possess
a celluloid-like pen" that acts
as a stiffening rod in the lony
body. Both animals are cepha-
lopods ("head-foot"D, referring
to the arms that are a part of
the head. Octopuses are solitary
bottom Living forms. The squids
are active. swift swimmers ira
yelling in schools. often running
head on into sperm whales.
OF course most squids and oc-
topuses are very much smaller
than the giants which have
achieved publicity. Indeed many
have seen the adults in the squid
tribe barely a few inches in
length. Even so, their beaks are
sharp enough to wound an
enemy and they leave small sue
ton cup scars. Giant or midget.
these dwellers of the sea are not
intended for playmates, though
we do admit the deep-sea squid's
part in perfume makes life more
pleasant.

You see," said the other,
Il can be Just as insulting as
you"
Sir" replied Levant,
you are suffering from de-

Fumous Fables
By E. {. Edoor

DIET-Former President
Truman always enjoyed
good health, and an appetite
to match. At one time. he
was to attend a dinner at a
Washington hotel. Joseph
Short, the Presidents press
secretary. who was suffering
from ulcers, called to advise
the hotel that he was per-
mitted to eat only con-
somme and custard.
Assuming that Short was
calling for the President,
the hotel assured him that
everything would be in
order. On the night of the
banquet, Short was served
a steak dinner. Rather than
call attention to himself, he
consumed it.
Mr.. Truman. however.
was not so docile. He took
one look at the custard and
exploded. The waiter re-
moved the dish, returned 1t
to the kitchen and came
back with a platter Of steak
and potatoes.

fully at a part-score contract as
he does when playing for a game
or slam. He knows such scores
can be valuable in many ways.
They shorten the road to game
and they often put the enemy at
q serious disadvantage.
Notice the careful play Mr..
Dale gave today's hand. Mr..
Meek opened the queen of clubs,
Mr.. Abel played the six and the
king in the closed hand won.
Now Mr.. Dale led the deuce OF
diamonds to dummy's ace. He
returned the trey of diamonds
and the jack came up on his
right. He went into a huddle
and finally decided to duck and
play Mr.. Meek for an original
holding of the king doubleton.
He didn't duck by playing the
four of diamonds. He unblocked
by playing the nine. This
thoughtful maneuver was the key
play of the hand.
Mr.. Meek won with the king
of diamonds and ran off the rest
of his clubs. On the long clubs
Mr.. Dale discarded two small
spades and the five OF hearts
from dummy and the seven and
trey of hearts from his own hand.
Mr.. Abel dropped the ten of
diamonds and the four of hearts.
Mr.. Meek shifted to the jack
of spades at the eighth trick.
Dummy played low and Mr.. Abel
ducked. permitting Mr.. Dale to
win with the king.
Now the queen of diamonds
was cashed and, because the nine
had been carefully unblocked on
the second round of the suit. Mr..
Dale was able to get to dummy
by leading his four of diamonds
to dummy's eight.
He took the heart flnesse and
when that worked the contract
was home. If he had played
carelessly and failed to make the
unlocking play, eventually he
would have had to lead away
from his own heart holding, thus
losing another trick-and his
contract.

ing generation The rebrh here during recent months of the
movement and the organization not too long OF

Perhaps the key to the increasing tempo of growth of the
Boy Scout movement is the fact that more and men,

help with the activity Statistics released by national head
quarters this year indicate that there nearly million
volunteer adult leaders for the nearly three million boys nhe

Where the scouting program is most successful where

from it is the largest always the community where
parents and other adults giving it the greatest support
1t has often been pointed out that Juvenile delinquents
the result parental delinquency conversely good uven
lie citizens young people the community be proud to
the result of the helpful examples set by parents and

Charles R. Baker Farm On RawSOn Road
Near Lincoln Hgwy Stumps Contestants

Last weeks Mystery Farm picture
stumped most Bluffton News readers.
Known as the Plainview Farm, it is
owned by Charles r. Baker of Ada
and farmed by his spn-in-law, George
Bame.
Located on the eastern edge of the
Bluffton News territory, only five
persons called to identify it before
Mrs. Bame came to the office at noon.
She described the farm as being
located on the Rawson road about
half "a mile north Of the Lincoln
highway.
First person to identify the farm
was Wayne Which of Jenera. Linda
Jane Bucher, Route 2, Bluffton, was
the first person to call from a Bluff
ton route. They are entitled to free
tickets To the Carma Theatre as is
Charles Bucher of Mt. Cory, second
person beyond Blufton or one of its
routes to identify the mystery farm.
No one with a Bluffton city address
identified the farm. Others who call
ed in the owners name were Ann
Bucher, Route 2, and Dick Boehr,
Route /, Blufftpn.
Mr.. Bame received the original
aerial photo OF the farm and years

NOT MANY were aware this week

ness in Bluffton. The community
newest financial institution" is
known as Bluffton Chapter FFA's
Thrift Bank with Paul Jorg serving
as cashier.
In the Thrift Bank members of
Future Farmers of America may de-
posit their savings until graduation.
Purpose of the newest FLA enter
prise is, of course, to encourage thrift
and systematic savings. In addition
to Jorg, John Hartman and Don Kim
met are on the board of directors.
FIRE CHIEF GUY CORSON
probably didn't remember it him
self, but Tuesday was an ami
versary for him. On February
s, 1923 he became Buttons fire
chief succeeding the late Roy
Pogue. Blugton News files show
that Abe Spangler was mayor at
the time the new fire chief took
over.
1t would be difficult to say,
since Guy probably has no record,
how many times he has answered
the fire bell in these past S5
years how many times he has
jumped out of bed from n sound
