AS Others See Us

Biuffton residents read with mixed
amusement and indignation letter
which appeared in a Toledo news
paper several days ago purportedly
having been written by Bluffton
resident. Inquiry, however, failed to
disclose anyone here who could
identify the author.
The writer who claimed to be a
former Toledo resident complains
that in Bluffton Everything outside
of church, such as dancing, cards or
even playing a family game of GRO
quet is unforgivable" and that Bluff
ton people ego without the barest
necessities to add to their large bank
accounts.
Bluffton has always been church
going town-and Toledo might well
profit by this example.
Church-going however, does not in
terfere with Buttons recreational
activities. Harmon field, one of the
finest recreational centers in this
section is open to the public thru.
out the summer. Tennis has beer
for years a major Bluffton sport
during the past winter bowling anC
basketball were popular and this
summer golf is being introduced.
In the matter of living standards
the number of automobiles, radios
electrical appliances and other con
veniences of modern living, Blufftol
will compare with any town or cit.
in the country.
Rents here were asserted by th'
writer to range from S35 to $50
when half that amount would b,
nearer the facts. Bluffton industrie
are providing steady year-round EN-
ployment. Wage scales and genera
living costs are commensurate will
those in other localities.
Bluffton is not without faults, bu
as community in which to live
work and rear families, it will com
pare favorably with Toledo or an.
other locality.

WPA Workers Must
Accept Private Jobs

WPA workers are required to ac-
cept jobs in private industry or in
farm work when such employment is
offered them.
This warning was issued last week
by William B. Schmuhl, manager of
the First Ohio District.
Failure to accept any proffered job
will result in the individual being
dropped from WPA rolls, Schmuhl
warned.
Warning of the district manager
followed receipt of reports that
WPA workers are refusing private
employment, when offered.
1t was emphasized that any en-
ploye who leaves the WPA to ac-
cept private employment shall at the
expiration of employment be entitled
to immediate unemployment on WPA
If he still is in need and has lost
private employment thru no fault Of
his own.
WPA regulations cited by Schmuhl
read as follows: "WPA employees
shall be expected to accept bona-fde
offers of private employment; Q)
The project employe is capable of
performing such work; (2) The
wage for such employment is not
less than the prevailing wave for
such work in the community where
the employe resides"
