COUNCIL DELAYS
BUCKEYE LEASE
Satisfactory Liability Insurance
Is Now Major Obstacle to
Acceptance
Expect Definite Decision at
Meeting of Town Council
On March 20

Final decision on the matter of
leasing Buckeye lake as a municipal
swimming and fishing resort during
the summer months is expected to be
made at the next meeting of the
town council on March 20.
That the municipality will lease the
quarry is by no means certainty, it
developed at the council meeting
Monday night when terms of the lease
were under discussion.
Major obstacle to leasing the place
is the matter of obtaining satisfactory
liability insurance, and sentiment in
the council appeared to be against en-
tering into any agreement relative to
lease until this point could be clear
ed up.
Invite Insurance Men In
Insurance representatives, it is un-
derstood, will be invited to appear be-
fore the council at the next meeting
to explain details and cost of such
protection. Following this report a
final decision is expected to be made.
With satisfactory liability insur-
ance, it is believed that the council
will approve terms of the lease with
little further delay.
In event of approval of the lease
the quarry will probably be sub.
leased to responsible persons of legal
age to whom will be turned over re-
sponsibility for management of the
| place.
Lease Submitted
| The Central Ohio Power & Light
company, owner of the quarry has an
nounced that they will discontinue the
former practise of direct leasing OF
the quarry for swimming and fishing
during the summer season.
However, the company stated at the
same time its willingness to lease the
quarry to the municipality for sum-
mer recreation purposes at a nominal
rental of one dollar per year.
| Draft of lease covering the tran.
saction was submitted by the utility
company to the council month ago
Terms of the lease were later approx
ed by Francis Durbin, Bluffton city
solicitor. In accepting the lease
however, the municipality would be
come liable for accidents on the prem
ises and as a safeguard in this re
spect, the council is delaying actor
pending the working out of satisfac
tory arrangements for liability insur
ance.

HEART THROBS
A GOOD FRIEND

To have a good friend is one of
the highest delights of life; to be
a good friend is one of the noblest
and most difficult undertakings.
Friendship depends not upon fancy
imagination or sentiment, but upon
character. There is no man so
poor that he is not rich if he has
a friend; there is no man so rich
that he is not poor without a
friend. But friendship is a word
made to cover many kindly, i'm
p IN a n n relationships. Real
friendship is abiding. Like charity,
it suffereth long and is kind. Like
love, it vaunteth not itself, but
pursues the even tenor of it's way,
unaffected by ill-report, loyal in
adversely, the solvent of infelicity,
the shining jewel of happy days.
Friendship has not the irredescent
joys of love, though it is closer
than is often known to the highest
truest love. It's heights ever Sc
rene, its valleys know few clouds.
To aspire to friendship one must
cultivate a capacity for faithful
affection, a beautiful disinterest-
edness, clear discernment.
Friendship is a gift, but it is also
an requirement. 1t is like the rope
with which climbers in the high
mountains bind themselves for
safety, and only a coward cuts
the rope when a comrade is in
danger. From Cicero to Emerson,
and long before Cicero and for
ever after Emerson, the praises of
friendship have been set forth.
Even fragments of friendship are
precious and to be treasured. But
to have a whole, real friend is
greatest of all earth gifts save
one. To be a whole, real friend is
worthy of high endeavor, for faith,
truth, courage and loyalty bring
one close to the kingdom of Heav-
en-.

PROspact 9Os8

Mr.. and Mrs. F. Stewart of
Portland, Oregon, were the house
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Abe Nakla
at their beautiful home on Raven
ma Blvd. On Sunday afternoon the

The mantle was beautifully de-
corated with graduated red tapers,
pine boughs, silver bells and red
ribbon. The tree was perfectly
decorated. The table was resplen-
dent with its lace cloth, tall red
tapers in crystal holders, red
poinsettas and pepper plants.
Mrs. F. Bowman, Mrs. T. Good
win, Mrs. C. Hollifield, and Mrs.

Owls Club Will
Swing In New Year

Given preview of q Jitterbug
act, we asked the why for such
violent exercise. I'VE are going
to steal the applause at the An
nual Dance given by the Owls
next Monday night" Well, they
should, but 1t certainly gave as a
headache: A mysterious looking
little lady plunging through a
flame produced by Gene Coy and
his IL Black Aces spouting out jets
of hot steam music, returning to
the arms Of her sparring partner
not a hair singed. Again they
go into a wrestling match-an AM
ber-Armstrong free-for-all, then
sailing through the air like a shot
from a rifle, gracefully returning
to the arms of her Moroccan chief
tain. That is a headache.
Dancing was an art and perhaps
still is. Every Owl is an artist
with charm, dignity and rhythm.
Whether you like the sway and
swing, the wild Harlem tunes, the
crazy era, or your own artistic
version, go to Finnish Hall, Mon
day night, to the Owls Annual
Dance. Gene Coy and his II Black
Aces will step off promptly at
11:30 p. m.

Haywood BrOun Was Militant Friend
Of the Negro, Says Walter White

NEW YORK Haywood Broun
was a militant friend of the Ne
gro. who day in and day out kept
faith with his belief in the right
eousness of justice for all Ameri-
cans whatever their race, color or
creed"
This was the tribute paid to Mr..
Broun, famed columnist and pre-
sident of the American Newspaper
Guild, by Walter White, executive
secretary of the NAACP. Broun
died here Monday, December 10, at
the age of 81.
Recalling the part played by
Broun in giving voice to the AS
sociation's fight against the con-
firmation of North Carolina's
Judge Parker for the Supreme
Court in 1880, and again in the
early days of the famous Scots
boro case, the NAACP secretary
said the newspaper man was al
ways in the forefront of the fight. +"
The newspaper columnist was a
member of the NAACP's Spingarn
gold medal award committee for
four years, from 1885 to 1889.
Arthur B. Spingarn, chairman of
the NAACP's national legal COM
mittee, and Walter White, repre-
scented the organization at Broun's
funeral, which was held at st. Pat
rick's Cathedral here Thursday
morning, December 20.

Children Surprise
DIR. Cooper

Miss Joyce Cooper and her bro
Their, Felix, planned as their con-
ception of the Christmas spirit,
surprise for their father, DR.. F. B.
Cooper.
Taking into their confidence
Mrs. Haley, well known artist in
the culinary world, the youngsters
chose to call in a few of their IA
theirs friends for a Christmas din
ner. With child-like fear that the
Yuletide would hurry the doctor
home and cause their surprise to
go awry, they urged friends to
make engagements that would
keep him away until the hour to
dine. To make the black-out COM
plete, Mr.. Felix purchased tickets
to movie and invited the doctor
to be his guest. The opportunity
to advance to the ranks of econo-
mic royalists Saving the price of
two admissions) caused the doctor
to readily accept the invitation of
his son.
Arriving home at the appointed
hour, the father and son faced the
waiting friends. And was the DR..
surprised? Whats going on 2"
"Oh! just little surprise dinner
for daddy" as Miss Joyce assumed
the role of hostess and daddy just
another guest. A kindly feeling
fleeing to daughter and son was
a fathers pleasure-being a guest
in his own home. Others equally
pleased were Messrs. DR.. Walter S.
Brown, Bernard E. Squires, S. c.
Valley, George A. Wright, w. w.
Casmon, and e. I. Robinson.
Their own idea of decoration en-
tered the surprise: a warm cheer
full fireplace, a Christmas tree with
many colored lights, and above all,
the simplicity which battles the
minds of men and completes a
home of love.

BERLIN, Aug. 26.-Communica- tions with the outside world were restored today after fears that mili- tary action already had been ta- ken, but there still is no official explanation of why communications had been shut off.
 Official circles continued to be exceedingly tight Tipped on the gen. eral situation, but regardless, Ger man troops continued to move up to the Polish border in trucks and other vehicles which had been re- quisitioned by the government.
 Soldiers yesterday mined the main road between Gleiwitz and Beuthen, and in other border towns barri- cades were thrown up across main highways.
 Nurses in Prague today received orders to report immediately to district commanders.
 Residents of Berlin kept close to their radios and were reported on edge because of sensational reports in the German press of criminal provocations by the Poles.
