One of the best outdoor
dishes is made by grilling
chunks of veal or beef on
skeWers or pointed sticks, over
an open fire. and the secret
of wonderful flavor is a good

soaked overnight in the re-

dry Spanish sherry-a fino or
nutty amontillado-to which
has been added two table
spoons of olive oil and two
teaspoons of salt. pepper, half
a teaspoon of oregano and
slices of two small onions.
Dry the meat before skew

between the pieces of veal.

A GROUP OF CUB SCOUTS
Sunday visited the new Allen
County Historical Museum in
Lima, and were happy to find at
least two mementos of Bluffton's
past. At the country store, one
of the most delightful exhibits of
the museum, they found an old
sale bill printed by The Bluffton
News in 1880 for the c. A. CrOn-
niger store located then in the
Cahill Block. The store proudly
advertised mo clap trap or vanity
fair goods" but an unusual sc
Bargain Counter of unusually
fine wares. Just as the model
store, CrOninger's offered ever
thing from staple dry goods to
linament and coal oil limps.
The museum also displays an inter
esting oil protrait of Jacob Moser,
who came to Bluffton from Berne
Switzerland. While here he served as
town druggist and postmaster during
the Civil War. He was also in the
furniture business with the firm OF
Moser and Keakin, and later was one
of the founders of Lima's South Side

THAT SNAZZY-LOOKING birc
feeder recently set up on the maple
tree at the side of the post office was
built by Albert Oyer. 1t is a rather
fancy structure with hip roof desigr
and special arm for supporting eal
corn. The birds are making good use
of it, and postal employees claim they
have the fattest sparrcws in towr
now as well as the smartest birC
restaurant.
A neighborhood squirrel lugged one
ear of corn from the feeder to a tree
hollow close by, but the birds had ;
special treat in several ears of white
kernel corn supplied by Carrier Ralph
Reichenbach.
OUR NEIGHBOR, Nelson Herr

once called the tree "home".
