The job Of beautifying Palmer

Mrs. Woolcock, treasurer of the
Palmer Garden Club and chairman
Of the clubs project to make Pal

Of organizations were represented
at a meeting held earlier this
week by the Garden club. Many
good suggestions were made by
these interested groups, she
said, and reported the following
projects as having been discussed
for action by the community:
Clean up and paint properties.
1t was suggested that paint deal
ers might tie in a special sale
on paint during this time as an
incentive.
Level vacant lots and plant
grass. This would help eliminate
the dust problem and might be
an opportunity for farm equip
ment dealers to demonstrate their
equipment.

STRONG PROTESTS
AGAINST MENTAL

Members Of the Mental Health

Richard Cruel; Acting Governor,
Waino Hendrickson, news medals

and Anchorage as well as tele-
vision stations in Anchorage.

+ At the March 20 meeting of the
Valley Chamber of Commerce the
mental health hospital Bill as
passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives this week was thor
oughly discussed. 1t was pointed
put that the House wrote into the
bill a provision calling for the
main institution to be located in
Anchorage. No hearings were
held. The mental health steering
committee in Palmer was not
notified that the bill was going to
be put up for passage and as a
result Palmer, along with every
other community except Anchor
age had no chance whatsoever to
present reasons why the hospital
should be located in a specific
area. 1t was pointed out that
every member of the House from
the Third Division, with the ex-
ception of one from Seward, is a
resident of Anchorage.
''This action is politics in it's

Trading Slows
After Sinking
Spell in List

NEW YORK, Nov. / (PI.-
The stock market went through
a fairly sharp sinking spell
today but trading was moderate
early this afternoon.
The dip occurred from a two
week high on the average and
was a logical level for profit
taking, brokers said. But the
fact that the Federal Reserve
System has maintained its
credit restraint and tight
money policy despite recent
predictions to the contrary had
a dampening effect on investor
confidence.
This was added to yesterdays
news of a big decline in rail
carloadings which pointed to
general falling-of in business
especially manufactured goods,
Corporate bonds eased in
moderate trading. U. S. Gov
eminent bonds were steady to
slightly higher.

The Long Face And The Swiss Dialect
Not Compatible, Letter Writer Saws

The follol0ing is translation
OF the letter appearing on page
ta0o of this issue in the Sloieser
Duetsch
In many of the homes of this COM
munity there is but little Swiss spok-
en-. 1t ought not to be so. 1t seems
that many would like to forget it but
still cannot. Usually when the Swiss
people get together there is soon
plenty of laughter, and this perhaps
accounts for the fact that there are
so many of these good folks that do
not have long faces, but rather look
like the moon when it is round and
full.
Where are now the good people
who already told us in the fall Of
the year that we are not to nave a
cold winter?
l am of the opinion that most of
them are hiding much of The time
These people told us that they close
ly observe the brown and black cat
erpillars. That is certainly good
sign! No one should hold this against
these little creatures. They are alto
gether innocent. Who knows where
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1957-02-07

they are now? The past two weeks
have brought us something altogether
different This is a beautiful time of
the year. The days are quite short,
but will soon lengthen. We had a
wonderful autumn and a season of
abundance. That snow that we now
have is certainly beautiful and even
though it is cold it will turn out for
the best. Our roads are in many
places slippery and we need to heed
our driving. There have been many
accidents. Many people have had
hard falls and this happens suddenly.
One is always down much quicker
than one can get up.
The farmers have not so much
work at present and so we can sleep
just little longer.
Can we not all be grateful for so
many good provisions? This is not
the case everywhere. In many places
it is altogether different.
In our community there seems to
be an abundance of all good things
and many of our people do not rea-
lie what we possess. Many condi-
tons are not what they are used to
