StrattOn's
Building Fourth
Greenhouse

A fourth greenhouse is near
ing completion at Stratton Green
houses southwest of Bluffton on
the Lincoln highway, where a %
by 200 foot structure is being adj
ded.
The business was opened in
1850 with two greenhouses of this
same size. In 1857 a third % by
200 foot structure was added and
construction began this fall on
their fourth building.
The greenhouses are heated by
steam heat with automatic heat
ing and automatic vent tenders.
Concentrating entirely on to-
matoes, the firm supplies year
round markets in Lima, Findlay,
Ada, Bluffton and other area
towns.
The present crop is nearly inar-
vested and a new tomato crop
will be planted the week after
Christmas. The Strattons raise
their own vines from seed per-
fected by the state experiment
station at Wooster. They produce
primarily a leaf mold resistant
tomato which has been adapted
to greenhouses.
James Sfratton owns the bust
ness and is assisted in its opera
ton by his father, Raymond, anc
Elmer Short. These three men
together with Robert Sratton
are building the new addition.

A peak performance will be an
absolute necessity for the Bluff
ton Pirates tomorrow night when
they meet Delphos Jefferson, the
toughest club in the league in
the opinion of Pirate coach Joe
Harris.
Peak performance or not, the
Pirates can't afford a Saturday
night letdown either as they tao

Delphos has practically an en-
tire team back from last year.
This group was highly impress
sive as they whipped off eight
wins in their last 10 games and
walked to an easy victory in the
Allen county tournament.
They have size, speed and ex-

Declarer took the first trick
in dummy with the ace Of clubs,
drew two rounds Of trumps with
the ace and king and then dis
carded the queen of clubs in
dummy's ace Of spades.
Diamonds were now South's
only problem. He led a low dia-
mond from the dummy and Fart
played the seven. South prompt
ly flnessed the nine of diamonds
winning the tricki g.
No Picking
Don't get suspicious. South
had not peeked at anybody's
hand. He had simply made the
right safety play to assure his
slam. .; West could win that
first diamond trick South could
surely capture the rest of the
diamonds with his ace and king.
The finesse was necessary to
guard against all four diamonds
in the East hand
East could not have saved
himself by putting up the 10
Of diamonds. South would win
with the king and would see
Vests discard. South would
return a low diamond to the
eight, forcing out East's Jack.
Then declarer would get to
dummy with q trump TO lead
another diamond through East
for a fineSse.
Just put the nine of diamonds
in East'S hand and where would
South be?

Boeing TOT Flights Made At Lower Altitude Than
 Initially Planned for Jets

WASHINGTON, R " Users of the Boeing TOT on the basis of a years operation, have tossed out the old rule that jet planes must fly extremely high,
 Franklin w. Kolk, director of equipment research for Amer jean Airlines, said Americans jets climb to little more than half the altitude initially planned.
 Kolk told the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences that before starting jet service, American based its estimates of TOT per- formance on flight at 40,000 feet because the British flew their Comets that high, at the altitude where jet engines are most eff cient.
 "The higher you fly, the less fuel you use," Kolk acknowl- edged. But the best place to fly is where you get the fastest from here to there.
 'We arrived at a compromise between speed and fuel, cut out time wasted in climbing, and have been flying the TOYS at 25,000 to 28,000 feet for a year.
 "On a transcontinental flight at that altitude you may burn up couple more tons of fuel than you would at 40,000 feet, but you can knock half an hour off the coast to-coast flight time. That's what counts with the customers"

The next 20 years, according to
urban planners, will see the
growthSin this country of the
megalopolis "a solidly popu-
lated amalgamation of many
cities, hundreds of miles long
and wide.
The Henry Kaiser companies
predict II such American mega
lopolises. A typical one would
extend from Boston to Wash
ington-45O miles long. Other
strip cities, built of urban areas
and suburbs bordering one an
other, would run from Sacra-
mento to San Diego, Toledo to
Flint, Milwaukee to Chicago
and Gary, and all along the
southern Florida Coast.
Today's cities would be focal
points of megalopolis culture,
transportation networks, shop
ping centers, business and
