Sj This week mark* the 25th anniversary of Matthew Worthman'* first sermon in the Reformed church al Bluffton. Over the year* the influence of the Rev. and Mr*. Worthman has been felt in our oWn community and we congratulate the Worthmans for their exemplary services. Indeed, Bluffton is fortunate to number such kind and generous people among its citizenry. —-0 It 1* never too early to begin to know your candidates. With state conventions this week we can learn a lot about the candidates. We can follow subsequent publicity, hear speeches, weigh the merits of the various seekers of public office and then make a decision. Let us be ready to cast an intelligent vote come November. Our democracy is only a* good as we make it 0 A*— The major league baseball scramble becomes more intense as the middle of the season and the All-Star game approach. Strange how the “Beat the Yankees and Bums” club members came out of hiding after the recent series of games. We seem to be the nation of “go underdogs" and such rivalry is healthful for all in these times of stress and strain. 0 0 Have you checked your fire extinguishers lately? This seems to be a bit tar fetched »t the moment but there ia always the possibility of a fire. Recent news stories remind us that oftimes serious damage could be averted if a small home device would be available and in proper working order. Check your extinguisher now and push' the threat of a serious fire into the background. i- 0 0— That We are all businessmen leads us to believe that government cannot be opposed to business. White it is the order of the day to rap business, tax it heavily and legislate controls; governments — local, state and national — need the moral and financial support of all business. All of us recognize the need for each to tend his own business by keeping records which show leaks and other shortcomings. Why, then, it is so popular to knock business? If we are not in busi-

ne*s, we will not keep our head* above water for very long. o 0— Even though war ia not imminent and there ia a relaxation of men taken into the various services some of our leaders are concerned with softness in our youth. A standardised physical test given to both American and European youngsters indicated failure on the part of almost 4 out of 10 Americans and only 1 in each 10 Europeans. A return to old-time “calorie-burning" sports such as running. Jumping and swimming, y would do much for our youth. We doubt that many of our present day activities do much for us physically. Perhaps we need to readjust >ur sight*. 0 o— Interest in Girl Scouts, which began some thirty years ago, continues at a high level. Inclusion of classes in handicrafts, nature, Binging and dramatics helped make this one of the best day camps for some time. More than three hundred Girl Scouts and Brownies in attendance is indicative of the big Job placed on the shoulders of the leaders. Fortytwo adults in addition to twentytwo senior Scouts had their hands ull but were able to keep the youngsters busy with a well-or-ganized schedule. Well done, Scouters and Scouts, we know . the efforts and experiences will be of immense value to all concerned. — Aside from the Snow and Quinn books on Adams county and the newspaper files we have little to pass on to posterity concerning our history. With some of our neighbors active in historical societies one wonders that we have not looked in that direction. Though many of us are busy with a variety o clubs and committees, it would seem that there should be time tor some efort to preserve Adam* county history for our dpscendents. It is obvious that some people are interested in preserving records and ’• mementos but some sort of coordination of those efforts would stand us in good stead when we want to “put a finger” on some date. Has our generation become too blase to perpetuate the complete story of Adams county ?

CHAPTER 2» Kingston, the capital city or Jamaica, as seen from the docks la no paradise. There are no palm trees or blue lagoons, no picturesquely grass-skirted natives; the only natives you see are dock workers in ragged cotton trousers, sweat pouring from their black faces as the,y unload luggage and cargo, aid the surrounding buildings are drab and dirty looking. Only the purpleblue mountains that rise to an impressive height in the center of the idland give you a hint of the splendid tropical beauty of Jamaica. Vai and Dirk stood side by aide at the railing as the ship slowly came in to dock. Vai was out of uniform and was wearing a neat gray suit with a white blouse and white beret “What are your plans, Vai, and how can I help you?” he asked quietly. “1 must report at the hospital. I suppose 1 can get over to Montego Bay on a bus or a train." “I’ve gathered from my friends, the Carraways, the only sensible way of getting across the island is by car. IF you like, I’D ask them to drive you over. That Is,” he gave her a brief sideways glance, “if Harridan hasn’t ottered to do that I know he’s going to work in the same hospital as you are." “Yes. but I shan’t be going over with him." He raised one eyebrow slightly. “Have you quarreled with him again? I hope not on my account” She didn’t reply immediately, but continued t look down at the busy wharf. Suddenly Dirk gave • shout and waved vigorously. “There are the Carraways. Decent of them to have come across. He’s an artist, a good one. I met them when I was in Fiji. They've rented a villa at Montego Bay and it was their idea that I Should come out” She looked down '>n the wharf toward the youngish-looking couple who were waving back to Dirk. He was a tall man with short brown hair, almost crewcropped, and the blonde woman standing beside him was pretty and plumpish. He was dressed in stacks with a colorful shirt made

Preble Greenleaf The sixth meeting of the Preble Greenleaf 4-H club wds held recently at the Friedheim Lutheran school. The business meeting was opened and conducted by the president. The secretary and treasurer reports were read and accepted. Old and new business was then transacted. The Rev. H. E. Settlage gave a very interesting talk on the study of birde. Refreshments were served by the hosts. Vernon Gallmeyer, Gene Kalthoff, and Kent Girod. 0 L, | Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE o —■—i A Winter Plant Late in the fall, transplant the bed of parsley to a pot while it is still strong and healthy, it will make a nice winter plant for the kitchen window sill, and is convenient when a garnish is wanted. -■> Furniture Crack* To repair cracks that appear in . table top* and chairs, use some melted beeswax on the end of a knife and press tightly and smoothly into the cfaCkA.'

out of native woven material, and she wore a blue linen dress with native hand embroidery. Vai glanced along the deck, t Jt there was no sign of Bruce. She had not seen or heard anything of him since that unhappy scene in the surgery yesterday. She prayed that the matron, the other doctors and nurses wouldn't even guess that there had been anything personal and emotional between them. And surely whatever had been between them was ended now ? The Carraways, when she met them later on the deck, were as pleasant and unconventional as their appearance suggested. They said they'd reserved a table at the Myrtle Bank hotel for lunch and insisted that Vai join them. The Carraways owned a Ford convertible, and Vai was able to see a great deal of Kingston as they drove to the Myrtle Bank hotel. Kingston as a town is no more beautiful than its docks. Mos D-of it was destroyed in the earthquake which rocked the country at the turn of the century. After that appalling disaster, buildings had been hastily re-erected, but clearly they had not been intended to be permanent. They were dwarfed, ugly, and rather dirtylooking structures that seemed to have no place in this lovely island. If the buildings lacked color, however, the streets certainly didn't. The pavements were jammed with pedestrians and hawkers, not so much selling their wares as forcing them upon anyone who faintly resembled a tourist. It was all confusion, but Vai found it an exciting confusion, as though the whole town vK-t on carnival- She was glad tuat the open car had to travel at a snail’s pace through the crowded streets. Directly they turned into the gates of the internationally famous Myrtle Bank hotel, and drove between the palm trees f/ward the long verandah, there win a delightful sense of coolness and of peace. Native servants in spotless white uniforms moved noiselessly among the tables, serving iong cool drinks or the local Planter’s Punch for whlteh the hotel is famous. John Carraway led them to a table.

Boy Is Ninth Victim Os Jet Plane Crash MINNEAPOLIS (UP) — Stephen Clark, 6, Monday became the ninth victim of a June 9 Jet plane crash when he died of bums at Veterans hospital. The boy was one of five chil3?en burned critically by spraying fdel from, the Jet, which crashed into a row of five homes, killIng six persons instantly. Two oi t>e other badly burned children died later.

t "1 thought we’d lunch here and then start back home," he comImented. "Nothing you especially want to do in Kingston, is there, Dirk?*’ "Nothing I especially want to do, but I’m going to stick around here for the present You wouldn’t want to entertain a man who may be indicted for murder.” But he grinned across at John amiably as he said it "The ship’s doctor is not entirely satisfied about the cause of Mrs. Featherstone’s death.” "I’ve never heard Ouch rot," Jane said in an angry voice. "You accused of murdering that poor vid woman you’ve been so kind to! The whole thing is completely mad. Os course she died of a heart attack. Can't Miss Alison,” she glanced toward Vai, “prove that?’’ “I certainly thought she died of a heart attack," Vai replied slowly. "In fact, I’m sure she did.” “Then why can’t that fool ship’s doctor accept your assurance?” Jane demanded hotly. “What’s he trying to prove?" “He’d like to prove I murdered Mrs. Featherstone, but of course he’s pretending to himself it's all in the line of duty," Dirk said cynically. "I can’t think what that mar. —the ship’s doctor—is thinking about. Has he an axe to grind, Dfrk ?” Jane was still indignant “Maybe,” he nodded slowly. “He thinks I took one girl away from him, Mrs. Featherstone's daughter. He suspects, if he doesn’t know, that I’m trying to take Vai away from him too.” “Oh," Jane said, and turned and s>ared at Vai. John Carraway was looking at her too. She was embarrassed, but she felt that their gaze was interested and friendly, and suddenly she knew that in their eyes at least she was the girl Dirk had more •r less declared he was in love with and wanted to marry. Jane stretched out a hand acrou* the table and clasped hers. “My dear,” she said impulsively, “Pm so happy tor you, for you both. You know Mow much we adore Dirk, don't you?” “Congratulations aren’t quite in order yet,” Dirk said quietly. (To Be Continued)
