Page Co. Buys From
400 Farms In Area

In 1919 the Page Dairy company
Branch No. 2 was organized and be-
gan operation in Bluffton, manufact-
uring condensed milk products.
This plant has grown steadily and
today handles processing of milk and
sour cream gathered from over 14OO
farms in an area of go miles.
In recent years spray process
milk drier has been added, which
turns out high grade milk powder
that is shipped to many states; es-
pecially in the South.
The outstanding policy of the Page
Dairy company has always been, and
always will be that its products must
be of the highest quality. The best
proof that this policy has been main
tanned through the years, is the fact
that today the company operates six
plants.
The Bluffton plant has a person
mel of twenty-five men and women
each trained in his or her particular
duty. Among this group are two
field representatives of the company
whose duties are not confined te
simply the soliciting of milk or cream
patronage, but aiding in various prob
lens that might arise that are of mu
tual interest to the patrons and the
company.

Sells Books Valued
At 500, 900 Yearly

Reid's Book Exchange, located in
the basement of Science hall, is a
unique project being carried on at
Bluffton college. Having developed
through an agreement between the
college and Mr.. E. M. Reid, it pro-
vides employment for nine students,
and serves universities and public IL
braries throughout the United States.
The exchange is the only job deal
ing exclusively with libraries. A
special personalized system has been
originated by Mr.. Reid, whereby each
individual library can be served ac-
cording to its special needs. Included
among the large number of Libraries
with which the exchange deals, are
those located at Ohio State univer-
sity, Kent State university, the Uni
versity of Iowa, and the University
of Kentucky, Toledo, Detroit, Akron
Buffalo and Pittsburgh.
An estimated value of the books
handled annually is 100000. Pub
locations of every publishing company
in the United States and books i'm
ported from every country in the
world are purchased and sold. AT the
present time, however, it is impossible
to import printed matter from Europe
and Far Eastern countries at war.
The Exchange publishes an annual
list of technical and science books
recommended for small libraries. This
list is presented in the form of 8
twenty-four page pamphlet and gen.
orally is off the press about Decem.

of books themselves and of cataiogs

ing anywhere from 100 to ITO sub
jects. 1000 to 1900 requests are made
each year for this pumphlet.

Modern Generating Equipment
At Municipal Light Plant Here

Installation of the new 750 K. w.
turbo-generator at the Bluffton Mu-
nicipal Light and Power plant has
given the town the same type of mod
ern generating equipment found in
much larger cities.
Placement and final installation of
the equipment was completed last fall
and its use not only is giving Bluff
ton improved service but greater op-
Grating economies.
Purchase of the turbine marked
another step forward in expansion of
the local plant.
When the municipal plant was first
equipped, it was considered impractic-
al to install turbine generating equip
ment due to the fact that the load
was not heavy enough. For econo-
mics in operation a turbo-generatol
should not be used when the load is
less than 500 K. w.
Buttons peak load in the early
days of the municipality owned plant
was less than $50 K. W., and it has
been only in recent years that the

casion demands it a special eight
hour service can be provided.

demand reached the 500 mark.
Three Skinner Uniflow engines were
formerly use at the plant to gen.
crate current. Two have been retain
ed for use in case of emergency, but
the turbine is carrying the total load.
Supervising busiess of the municip-
al light and water plant is the Board
of Public Affairs made up of Eli Dep
pier, president; William B. Luginbuhl
and Coach A. C. Burcky. Edgar
Hauenstein is clerk of the board.
A new plan of plant management
has been inaugurated this year. I'm
der terms of resolution submitted
by the board to the town council John
Swisher, former superintedent and Hi
ram Wenger, second engineer were
named to act as superintendent of in
side operations.

superintendent of outside manage
ment. The plan, originally requested

7'OlUn Served By Ten
Progressive Churches
BY Rev. Chas. Armentrout

AS a traveller approaches BluHton,
the church spires of the village are
among the first visible evidences OF
the town.
They stand as a symbol of the re-
ligious nature of the community.
All thoughtful people who know
Bluffton's history are aware OF this
religious foundation upon which the
village was set from its very be-
ginning.
Bluffton is blessed with the guild
ance of ten churches: st. johns
Evangelical and Reformed Church,
Rev. Emil Burrichter, pastor; Luth-
eran Church, Rev. w. L. Harmony,
pastor, First Mennonite Church, Rev,
H. T. Unruh, pastor; First Methodist
Church, Rev. J. A. Weed, pastor;
Presbyterian Church, Rev. Charles
M. Armentrout, pastor; Church OF
Christ, Rev. L. B. Remaley, pastor;
Missionary Church, Rev. A. F. Al
bro, pastor; Defenseless Mennonite
Church, Rev. Eli Steiner pastor; St.
Mary's Catholic Church, Father N.
Bouschere, pastor; and The Christian
Science Society.
A consideration of the religious
life of this community would be In
complete without including the in
comparable influence of Bluffton Col
lege. Whatever is for the cultural,
moral, and spiritual betterment of
youth and the community this Chris
tian institution fosters.
The churches have realized that
the advancement of the community
has demanded a cooperative spirit
among the various denominations
which is manifested by the uniting OF
their efforts in the organization OF
the Religious Educational Council.
Through this instrument many
community projects of religious ma
ture have been inaugurated among
which the most far reaching is the
teaching of the Bible in the public
schools.

LET'S SAVE LIVES ON THE ROAD

Now that the summer vacation season
is about over and you have escaped death
on the highway, it might not be amiss to re-
peat again the old warning that careful
driving is what the nation needs if it is to re-
duce the horrible cost of speed on our
highways,
One hundred Americans a day is too
high price to pay for modern transporta-
ton, It is remarkable that the public is so
apathetie to the loss of life and that the in
jured are hardly noticed by the public. II
some strange, unknown disease was taking
a hundred victims day in the United
States there would be hysterical reign OF
terror throughout the land.
Key West, like every other COM
munity furnishes its quota of victims of the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT toll every year, With
the best intentions we continue to permit
drunken drivers to operate cars and get OF
free when unprecedented. We like to think
that we can violate traffic regulations with
cut having to pay the penalty. It is time,
however, that we lost this foolish notion.
Rigid enforcement Of every traffic
regulation, with stiff fines imposed for
minor violations, would do much to make
the average automobile driver safety con-
scious. Let's support the work of the traf-
fic policemen and give them the satisfac-
ton of knowing that we are behind them
when they arrest careless and reckless
drivers H gse,fs

creation of bureau of fire prevention IN
the local fire departments and gives the
bureau authority covering fire prevention m
general; the storage and use OF explosives
and flammables; the installation and MAIN
tenanee of private alarm systems ana IRE

In announcing this new plan, w =.
Mallalieu, general manager Of the Natlahal
Board of Fire UndrWritersi SAID 10 M any
plants are running three shifts. Many OF
them are taking on work foreign to their
former operations; new materials and pro-
eesses are being introduced, and general
business is being speeded up. Excess pro-
duction, especially in agriculture, must be
stored; cotton, which has high hazard, :
an outstanding example of the necessity Of
supervision Of storage which it is not now
reeeiving, 1t is therefore Of vital import
anea at this time to give adequate authority
to fire departments. !"
