Petersburg Dog Wins Award for Bravery

SEATTLE, R - A bravery award has been presented to a part-Dalmatian dog named Boaz, owned by L. Bert Cornelius of Petersburg, Alaska, by Rutherford Phillips of the Ameican Humane Society.
 The dog, who made Seattle headlines in 1852 when he re- turned to the doors of the King County Humane Society si times after being placed in local homes, was taken to Alaska by Cornelius, an apartment house owner.
 The bravery award was given Boaz for awakening Cornelius and leading him to an apartment where an oil stove was smoking and in danger of exploding. The dog was credited with saving the lives of three men in the apart ment, who had been overcome by the smoke.

 Some 1,500 persons paid $50 each to hear Truman address d fund-raising dinner.

SEATTLE, LR - Harry Truman, quipping on topics ranging from politics to jaywalking, confided Saturday he doesn't mind not being invited to the White House by President Eisenhower.
 "I don't want to go back there anyhow" the Democratic former President told newsmen who hustled to keep up with him on a 20-minute morning walk. ''I've had enough of that"
 Truman said Friday night a columnist's report of an invita- ton for a White House visit was news to him - five never been invited to the White House since he Eisenhower took over"
 On his Saturday walk, the smil- ing Truman collected crowds of spectators, a package of butter horns for breakfast, and $1 for the Democratic Party.
 A bakery truck driver hailed Truman, contributed the butter horns, and handed him dollar Q for the party.
 "You're wonderful man, y truck driver Jack Eskenazi told Truman. You'll go down in his tory as one of our best Presi- dents"
 You're very nice to say that" ," Truman answered.
 Photographers sprinted into an intersection for on-themove pic lures, and got stern warning: "Hold up, there. Wait for the light. Don't iaywalk.'
 He ducked a query on Demo- cratic Presidential possibilities, replying "I'll tell you the answer after 1958."

harmless when taken into the body or to those which come into contact with the body. The agents which bring about this unusual sensitivity are called allergens..
 It may take from a few days to many years for an allergen to produce sensitivity. What hap pens is that the offending sub stance sensitizes areas of the body over a period of time, and the body reacts to this by pro- ducing antibodies. You may not know that you have an allergy until you experience a skin erup- tion, itching watery eyes, a run ny nose, sneezing, coughing and other irritating symptoms.
 Allergies develop just as often in children as in adults. If your children suddenly develop sneez- ing, coughing, watery eyes or (runny noses, skin rashes or di- gestive disturbances, it is wise to have your family doctor check the child for a possible allergy.
 Your doctor has many tests to determine if your symptoms re- suit from an allergy or some other cause. With his help you may be able to discover the cause of your many hours of discom- fort due to allergic reaction. Once your doctor knows the cause of your allergy, he can ire quently prescribe a course of ac- tion which will not only relieve the condition, but frequently pre- vent it.

 form of allergy, four million of whom have hay fever or asthma. These two allergies alone cause a loss of 25 million work days a year |. very expensive diseases to both the working man and his employer.
 Ahergies fall into several cate gories. Inhalant allergic reac- tons are undoubtedly the most we'll known to us. These include nay fever, types of asthma, al lcrgic headaches and other al- lergic manifestations. Inhalant allergies are normally seasonal. They are caused by air-born pol lens from trees, grasses, and weeds. Persons allergic to one, frequently are not bothered by the others. For example, tree pol len sufferers have their great est difficulty in late spring when tree pollen is prevalent. Grasses usually give off their pollen in June and early July and the weed varieties come along in August until early frost.
 Food allergy is also prevalent. Offenders in this group include a wide variety of foods such as eggs, milk, shellfsh, nuts, straw berries, etc. Hives are commonly caused by an allergic reaction to certain foods.
 Contact allergy is better known to us as the itching blist- CTS caused by brief contact with poison ivy and poison sumac plants. Certain chemicals and dyes also cause severe allergies in persons who become sensitized to them through exposure.
 Bacterial infections, which may often go unnoticed, can. cause allergic reactions in many persons. Frequently the infec- ton is not serious enough to cause fever but nevertheless can develop into obvious allergic symptoms. Another form of al- lergy which is not we'll known is a physical allergy in which peo- pie are sensitive to light, heat, cold, etc. These allergies are somewhat rare and are not ordi- narily the reason for the com- mon allergic symptoms of wheez- ing and sneezing.

Bluffton's recently-formed town
team made its first appearance at
Beaverdam Monday night and came
up with a 6-1 victory. Fred Amstutz,
making his first start in four years,
held the Beaverdam nine to four hits
struck out seven, and walked only
two.
Dale Walters was almost as tough
for Bluffton to solve as he struck out
eleven and walked three. The walks
were punched with the six hits he
allowed to provide the winning mar
gin.
Bluffton scored two runs in the first
as Jake Basinger and Don Leiber
singled and scored when the right
fielder misjudged Ron Geiser's fly
ball. In the second two more were
added when Bob Logan reached or
an error, Fred Amstutz singled and
Lynn Carmack blasted a triple tc

Last WBL Team Fades
From Pirate Schedule

The last remnant of the Bluffton |
Pirates former days as giant-killers |
has been removed from the new foot
ball schedule released this week by
school officials.
Wapakoneta Blume, for years one
of the Pirates regular opponents and
the only Western Buckeye league
team still on the Pirate card, has
been dropped this year in favor of
Leipsic.
Leipsic meets the Pirates at Har-
mon field on October 81. This is the
eighth game of the season and fills
the slot which Wapakoneta occupied
for many years.
This years schedule has the Pi-
rates at home for five of their nine
games, including four Northwest con-
ference games. Only non-conference
opponents this year are Leipsic and
Ada.

Pirates.
Elida has lost several key men,

held every team but Bluffton and
Columbus Grove scoreless last sea-
son, while the Bulldogs from Putnam
county have a strong nucleus from

Buttons major problems will re-

cry of a quarterback who can think

the last three outstanding occupants
of the slot, Jim Berry, Joe Urich and
Tim Diller.
Besides the quarterbacking problem
the Pirates must also uncover some
depth and strength in the line. Last
years problems were partly caused
by lack of experience which might
be alleviated by some of the return
ing veterans of the last team.
Last years Pirate squad presented
coach Frank Osborne with eight wins
in IL games to celebrate his first
year as a coach. The Pirates lost to

Little Leaguers
Defeat Allentown,
But Lose to Cairo

Bluffton's Little Leaguers closed
out their league season with a 9-5
win over Allentown last Wednesday
evening. The win left their final
record at 3-8 in league pay. They also
beat Mt. Cory in non-league tussle.
The game was called after four and
one half innings because of rain and
darkness. Roger Benroth won his
third game of the year as he limited
the visitors to two hits.
Larry Crow and Tom Basinger held
their positions as leading hitters as
they each banged out two hits.
In the opening game of the Pee

locals lost well-played game, "a.
