with faith in their hearts, get out in
the garden after a long, hard, cold
winter and renew their instructive
affinity for the primal humus. The
deep-rooted appeal of working with
soil goes far back in history to that
epochal day when man first discover
ed he could place seeds in the warm
ing ground and grow cereal grasses.
That was the beginning of civiliza-
ton, replacing the older, nomadic
life of the ancient herdsman.
Socially, the radish is an out

Economically, the radish contri-

RECEIPT OF 3S DRESSES for the
Mennonite Christmas Relief Package
project last week from Mrs. A. B.
Decker of Middle Point, Ohio, carries
with it an interesting story of the
donor.
According TO a columnist in the Van
Vert Times-Bulletin Mrs. Decker's S
contribution to the local project is
just small part of her work of doing
things for others. She has finished
over $50 dresses for small girls in the
six TO eight year old range Many
of these she has either mailed or

Nearly Half Z. S.
Families Buy On
Installment Plan

Nearly half the families in this
country use installment CT ed t
according to Extension specialists in
home management at the Ohio State
university. Government estimates for
1855 show that consumers undertook
almost S14 for new installment credit
for each S100 of personal income they
received after taxes. Twelve percent
of American families were putting
one-fifth or more of their incomes
into installment payments.
OF all working groups, skilled
workers seem the heaviest users of
installment buying percent of
t h m report installment debt
Farmers are the group least likely to
use this type of credit, possibly be-
cause many have other sources of
credit or don't receive regular pay
checks to tie into installment plans,
explain the home economists.
Installment debtors are found in
all income brackets. They are most
numerous in the middle class-at
least half of those making $4,000
81, 500 a year had inStallment debts.
But SO did nearly one-third of the
families with annual incomes of
$4,000 or more.
Lack of resources, then, is not the
only reason for using installment
credit, say the specialists. Probably
| some people prefer to think of large
purchases in terms of regular pay
ments, turning their money manage
ment problems over to credit
agencies. AT times it may be worth
the price of credit to be able to use
the purchase while paying for it. but
it also seems likely that many people
aren't aware of the amount they pay
for credit buying.
Interest rates vary, depending on
the kind of credit and whether or not
insurance costs and other fees are
figured as part of the cost of credit
But buying on the installment plan
always costs more than paying cash.
Whether or not buyer should use
credit plans is certainly matter for
personal decision. But, according to
the home management specialists.
consumers should consider the cost of
credit, and weigh the values of using
credit against this cost, before they
decide how to buy.

CORRECTION

A garbied misstatement appear
ed in the June IS, 1857, BLUFF
TON NEWS, page 2, which is here
Corrected. since it Is important
to stick 10 facts concerning local
history, or any other, that there
might be correct record for
future reference. Mrs. Bertha L.
Goetsch should have been quoted
as follows:
''The sons and daughters of our
Swiss pioneers i'm the Bluffton,
Ohio, communities, did not always
have smooth sailing when they
wished TO study music. Two ex-
amples here will show some of the
opposition encountered. A young
man of 81, from the Emanuers
Reformed church community,
named Jacob Andreas Schifferly,
decided to buy piano, in 1872.
When he arrived at home with the
large instrument, his mother told
him he couldn't keep 1t that
he was only poor farmers son.
and ought not spend his money i'm
SO extravagant n manner. The son
managed having his own way, for
he walked to Lima, a hike of
Ii miles one way), during many
winters TO study piano and organ
with German Professor"
Eysenbach there. Eventually
Jacob became proficient enough
that he was the first church or
ganist i'm the Emanueps church
near his home. This was my
father.
In the Mennonite Settlement
ambition also made its appear.
ance. One young man, Moses
Steiner, bought melodeon, ard
announced that he wished to learn
10 play. He too, met with family
opposition, but he too won out,
for he too, began the tricks to
Lima, Ohio, to Professor"
Eysenbach's studio, and also
learned TO play the melodeon well.
Thus were the beginnings of
cultural attainments in our COM
munities. I'm both of the above
families musical talents are still
cultivated through the genera
tions."

million this week resurrected an aging
yellow card announcing the doth
annual reunion of the goth Ohio
Volunteer Infantry held in 1916 at

The interesting invitation stated:
"As the village is somewhat modestly
retired, as well as well-behaved, it is
somewhat difficult to approach her

gested that the program begin in the
evening of Wednesday with a camp

Dear Editor:
You can't imagine my horror when
| read the statement / didn't make
on page 2, of the News, yesterday
when l received my copy.
Please the least you can now
do for me is to publish promptly the
enclosed correction which / have
taken the time to translate and copy
from the historical sketcIl / gave on
Swiss Day of local history. Since it
is of the greatest importance to me to
preserve my reputation as a careful
historian, with fidelity to authenticity
and always making the effort to make
sure that no misstatements should
occur in anything I write, historic
ally, this mess" in June 18th issue,
really made me feel as if it was a
hopeless effort to even try to stick
to history as it really was, and is.
The mischief an item like that can
do is endless. For example, in years
to- come, someone from the local
high school or college will get. an
assignment ahoAt various local his
torical subjects, and they'll find that
confounded twisted paragraph in last
weeks News and use it-not looking
farther, where the correction could
be found and set things right.
Because of this would you please
write in margin of that misstatement
"See June 20, 1857 News for correct
version" for the copies that will be
filed away for future reference? Many
Thanks to you. 1t will prove that even
if the editor of The News cannot speak

up with errors that foul up his paper

Dear Editor:

as large and as deep as / desired, so
for Decoration Day l used a water
pitcher to put my flowers on my
husbands grave.
When l returned to get it, it was
not there. Someone had layed the
flowers neatly on the grave and taken
the pitcher.
If that person will call at my home

know whose grave they took it from.
