Bakery Closes
After Eight Years
In Business Here

After nearly eight years of practi-
cally "round-the-clock" operation in
Bluffton, the Hauenstein Bakery
closed it's doors Saturday.
Operation of the business has been
suspended until such time as a buyer
may be found for it, Roy Hauenstein,
proportion, said. He said that he had
accepted sales position with Toledo
Appliance, Inc.
Our volume of retail sales did moi
justify continued operation Mr.. Hau-
enstein said. Arrival of out-of-towr
bakery delivery trucks operating
door-to-door here contributed to the
volume decline, he said.
In his new post Mr.. Hauensteir
will call on appliance dealers through
out northwestern Ohio for the Toledo
distributor. Before entering the bak-
cry business, he did this type of sales
work.
The Hauensteins will continue tc
reside On their farm on the College

Burning Leaves
On Street Against
Village Ordinance

Police Chief Lee Coon remind
ed BlufftOn residents that burn
ing of leaves on tar-bound streets
of the town is contrary to a
town ordinance and destructive
to the street.
The reminder is necessary
every year about this time when
disposal of large accumulations
of leaves becomes a problem in
residential neighborhOOds. Chief
Coon points out that the heat
from the fires burns the tar
bound street and does consider
able damage to the surface.

tion of the Mems Garden club
has repeatedly carried items en-
couraging use of leaves as a
beneficial garden mulch. Burn
ing leaves is foolish waste" the
articles have stated.

have been few one-sided contests.
The often out-rnanned Putnam coun-
ty elevens have almost without ex-
ception provided first-cIass opposi-
tion for the Pirates.
Coach Pete Schmidt's eleven, in
censed over the 24-20 victory gained
by Elida in the waning minutes of the
game last week, will have to be up
for this one. The Rockets bring a 80
mark into the game and will be fight
ing for their grid lives to keep the
record unblemished.
Coach Doran Snyder's team, with
Is lettermen returning from last
years squad which had an 0-8 mark,
have won two squeakers. They edged
Spencerville 1912 in the opener and
last week went by Leipsic 1912 on a
pass in the last ten seconds. In their
other contest the Rockets spanked
Forest 24-0 for their first win in a
decade over the, Rangers.
-Gilboa has shown a diver
sified attack in the three contests thus
far. The offense is paced by the run
ming of Ron Reichenbach and jim
Tousley, 195-pounder. Keith Diller
handles the passing and with Bob
Rice, 180-pound junior letterman
rounds out the backfield.
Along the line the Rockets have
10 returning monogram winners and
are reported about the same weight
as the Pirate forward wall.
Coach Schmidt announced this
week he planned no major changes
for the game this week. He said he
felt that the Pirates should have won
at Elida last week and was somewhat
pessimistic about keeping his squad
up for the Rockets.
If his boys had come through with
a victory over the Bulldogs, Schmidt
said he felt they may have copped
the NWC crown in relatively easy
fashion.
Then with his tongue in his cheek
he added, "We're going. all out to
beat Pandora-Gilboa this week."
