PIRATES HIT DELPHOS JEFF IN SEMZ-FZNALS TONITE
Will Warn Products Co. Organized To
Market Local Physician Intentions

You won't find it listed yet in
a Bluffton business directory,
but it will not be long before
great many persons in this part
of Ohio are going to hear about
the towns newest enterprise
the Will-Warn Products compa-
ny.
Probably the first to learn of
Will-Warn products will be
poultrymen of this area, since
one of two items being marketed
by the Bluffton firm promises to
be a boon to the tired poultry
man at brooder time. The local
product is an alarm which will
warn the farmer when the tenn
perature drops too low or climbs
too high in his brooder house.
Another product which may
come to make Bluffton better
known is~a household fire alarm
system which may also be used
in business places and on the
farm. Together with the Brood
er'larm, these are the products
Of Buttons newest business
firm.
Back of Will-Warn Products
company is Bluffton's DR.. Boyd
w. Travis, physician and sur
geon, who manages to squeeze
time into his busy days and
nights for his hobbies Of fruit
raising, model railroading apd
now, inventing.
The idea of marketing a freN
alarm system for the home oc-
Cured to DR.. Travis at the time
he was building his residence on
Kibler street and was unable to
find a ready-made alarm system
anywhere. Well versed from
model railroad experience in the
simpler applications of electrici-
ty, the Bluffton man rugged up
his own system.
1t worked for him. Perhaps
others would be interested in
protecting their homes with a
firm alarm, he thought. He be-
gan to explore the possible mar
ket.
If the doctors system would
ring bell when temperatures
rose too high, could he make it
sound the alarm when the tenn
perature fell below certain
point, a friend operating sales
distribution agency out of Lima
wanted to know. DR.. Travis
thought that it could be ar
ranged easily enough, and came
up that evening with a working
model. That was how the Brood
er'larm came into existence.
Now, a farmer with several
hundred baby chicks in the
brooderhouse can sleep peace
fully at night with the assur-
ance that they are all snug
not too cold and not too warm.
If conditions change too much a
ringing of a bell warns him.
Sales people who plan to mar
ket the Bluffton mans inven-
tions are enthusiastic about

two each from Allen, Auglaize, Mer-
Ger and Van Vert counties and one
each from Paulding and Harding
counties.
But, even should the Pirates lose
in tonight's go against the Delphos
club they could join the 13-team field
District with a win in the consola-
ton game Saturday night to be play
ed between the two losers of the
semi-fnals contests.
Although the Pirates should rate
the favorite in the contest with the
Jeffs, they will have to show better
brand of basketball than they dis
played in the last half of the one
point squeeker over Ada Saturday
night when they seemed to come
apart at the seams. They had to
hang on to win 50-49.
And the Jeffs will not be as strong
as they were when they suffered the
13-point setback on the Bluffton floor
two months ago. They lost the serv-
ices of their tallest player, 6-2 Bob
Ebeslotte, who was advised to quit
the cage sport by his physician. His
loss was noticeable in Delphos' 48-44
win over ,Paulding last Wednesday
night.
But in spite of the loss of their
tallest player the Jeffs play inspired
ball in tournaments and would cher
ish duplicating the feat of the great
Jefferson team of last season which
went to the semi-finals of the District
tournament before bowling to cross
town Delphos st. Johns, the eventual
winner.

year ago.
Harry Bogart, neighborhood scout
commissioner, charged the local Of
ficials with their duties and response
bilities, and members of the Bluffton
Boy Scout troop participated in clos
ing ceremonies.
"Let Freedom Ring" was the theme
of an interesting shadowgraph histor-
ical skit presented by boys of the

was acted out behind back-lighted

Oppermann was the narrator.
