Major Whiting and his men were
no exceptions-they remained in
the front lines helping evacuate
the wounded during the engage
ments. For his devotion to duty
and leadership urder fire, Whiting
was awarded the coveted Combat
Infantry Badge, the Legion OF
Merit and the Bronze Star Medal.
In 1914 it was decided in Wash
ington to organize a band of COM
bat infantrymen from combat in
fantrymen from combat divisions
throughout the world. This band
to be known as the First Combat
Infantry Band, was to travel
throughout the nation on bond
selling tours.
To organize, command and con-
duct this unique band, Whiting
then a Captain, was selected. After
selecting his musicians, procuring
the necessary inut'uments, and
weeks of rehearsal, the band be-
gan it's mission. So successful was
this mission of selling bonds that
the unit earned the nickname OF
the Million Dollar Band"
From this beginning evolved the
present United States Army Field
Band, the Army's travelling band.

sophomore class has the smallest en-

Room For PetticOdts
In TOUn Govt, Says HOWe

The petticoats have taken over in
many towns, and there is room on
the Bluffton town council or on the
board of education for women who
wish to serve, Mayor w. A. Howe
told the Bluffton Business and Pro-
fessional Women's club at their din
ner meeting Monday evening cele-
brating National Business Women's
Week.
"Of course, a woman candidate
would be subject to prejudices that
still exist about women in politics. :
the mayor declared, adding that sex
really makes little difference in in
telligence. Actually" he added as
in afterthought, "there are some
cases where man is almost as in
telligent as women"
Chief reason why there have been
few women elected to office in Bluff
ton and elsewhere is that there is
too much "meow" among women
voters, the mayor declared.
His discourse on women in govern
mental affairs was set off by
several questions from the audience
following a talk on municipal govern
ment.
"There is no place where a citizen
can get a quicker hearing on any
matter than in his local town govern
ment," Mayor Howe declared. He
added that you may not always get
solution to your problem, but you
will certainly have your chance to
have your say.
Taking village offices one by one
including those of councilman, police,
board of public affairs and cemetery
trustees, Mr.. Howe explained the
problems and grief that go with
them and the general shortage OF
compliments or appreciation from the
public.
Bluffton's waste collection service
and other of its services are model
for other communities and are econo-
mical because things are handled il
the most direct and simple manner
Nevertheless those who perform the
village services are subject to con-
stant criticism, he declared.
The mayor suggested that the
ladies could help once in while by
extending the village workers nice
compliment. Not too many at once

$50 Exhibits
Viewed By Crowd
At Garden Show
Alfalfa Hay Exhibit OF
Dale Hochstettler Declared
"Best In Show

More than $50 different exhibits
were entered in Buttons annual
Fruit, Grain and Vegetable Show
last Saturday by 81 exhibitors in the
high school gymnasium.
The show, sponsored by the Bluff
ton Mems Garden club and the local
chapter of Future Farmers of Amer
lea, was well attended, and an auc-
ton sale of the exhibits at the closing
Saturday evening was declared very
successful.
Sweepstakes winners in the various
divisions of the show were as follows:
fruit, DIR. B. w. Travis entry of gold
en- delicious apples; vegetables, A. B.
Murray's entry of Lima beans; grain,
Terry Miller's corn; and hay, Dale
Hochstettler's alfalfa. The Hochstet-
tier hay sample was viewed as such
a perfect one, that judges were of the
opinion it must have been hand cut.
1t was learned, however, that it was
made with buckrake. The exhibit
was declared "best in the show"
The junior trophy offered the
youngsters with the largest number
of exhibits went to James Badertsch-
er.
Judges were James Shafer, Harrod,
and Norbert Holthaus, Lafayette.

Seek Bids On
Ditching Equipment

Spurred by recommendations of
Councilmen Dave Risser and Gerald
Swank, municipal councilmen will
study the advisability of purchasing
a tractor equipped with back hoe at
tachment to facilitate short excava-
tions for sewer lines and water mains,
it was revealed at a meeting of the
legislative body Tuesday night.
AS initial step in the program
council has asked for bids on the
equipment, as a means of comparing
prices and working features.
The towns present tractor, which
the street department has recon.
mended should be replaced because Of
its worn out condition, is equipped
only with a top loader and moving
bar.
Buying heavier equipment, with the
back hoe, came up for consideration
as a means of having digging equip
ment on hand to speed sewer repairs
and work on water lines.
