MAINLY PERSONAL

A. j. B., an impressive set of
initials which has been puzzling
many people for many years, re-
ceived full light last week at
council meeting. The bearer of
the initials explained how he
would have been named for an
American president if Metho-
dist preacher had not opened his
mouth.
Born to a good Republican
family during the presidential
campaign of 1884, Mr.. Longsdorf
picked up the middle part of his
name in honor of James G..
Blaine, the Republican nominee.
For a time he even went under
the name of A. ]. G. B. Longsdorf,
an even greater mouthful. The
A., by the way, stands for Alvin
and was given in honor of a
friend of the family.
Getting back to the almost
president for whom A. J. B. was
named, Mr.. Blaine in the late
days of the race was leading his
Democratic opponent, Grover
Cleveland, in New York state.

LETTER
TO THE EDITOR
Bluffton, Ohio

Bluffton, Ohio
December 26, 1853
Dear Mr.. Editor,
Since having three weeks en-
forced vacation in our Bluffton
hospital I'd like to write of some
of the things / learned there.
OF course, one only goes to a
hospital when one is i'll, but
health and hope and new life are
offered there.
Then, l discovered something
about the staff aside from our
Bluffton doctors there are ten
others in the community around
who bring their patients here
for here is a wonderfully well
organized staff: one technician;
five housekeeping and laundry
people; two cooks (food always
tasted good to mel; two in the
office; the superintendent; and,
this is what surprised me, thirty
nine women in the community,

was Christmas, of course, with
James Opperman, Susie Hilty,
Jayne Ann Suter, Linda Jo Ben
der and Louise Weaver of the
fifth grade contributing Christ
mas poems.
Activities of the various classes
are described. We are pleased to
note that arithmetic is still being
taught in the fourth grade and
that it is still a problem to many
of the students. The well-remem-
bered tune of "Davy Crockett
which blanketed the country
several years ago has been
changed with new chorus:
"Lo-ong division, lo-ong di-
vision,
Headache of the whole fourth
grade"

threw the monkey wrench in the
Republican works was the Rev.
Samuel Birchard, who told a
large New York audience that
the Democrats were "the party
of Rum, Romanism and Rebel
ion." This was just the thing to
switch many hesitant Irish Cath
olics firmly to the Democratic
side. Mr.. Cleveland won New
York by less than 1000 votes and
this big block of electoral votes
gave him the presidency.
With this heritage Mr.. Longs
dorf could hardly escape a life
long Republicanism. AS power in
the Republican party shifted
from the east to Ohio, he at one
time acquired the nickname of
Mark Hanna, the all powerful
Ohio Senator who once ran the
COP at the turn of the century.

Control immigration

There is no denying that immigration
should be carefully controlled, and - con-
sidering the population explosion taking
place in the world today ~ strictly limited
Our country (and most Of the other coun-
tries in the world) is no longer capable Of
receiving unlimited immigrants. Moreover,
undesirable immigrants, or immigrants who
come in such numbers that they cannot be
assimlated or properly educated and in
doctrinated in our way of life, do no good.
The statistics on crime show that king
sized problem is one of New York's worries
today, and that the lack Of restraint in re-
ceiving immigrants is one of the causes of
the current problem
In this question, a number of do-gooders
and pink-cloud theorists 60 overheard on
the theory that everyone is equal and that
there should be no preference among per-
sons or limit to immigration. This is pure
nonsense, which would not be supported by
Thomas jefferson, Abraham Lincoln or
any of our other great patriots.
