This column is a plea to all Amer
leans to guard against hate and bit
terness in the present controversy over
our foreign policy. I have sounded
that note before, but things I have
heard and that have been written to
me in recent weeks convince me that
it is a plea that cannot be made too
often.
We are all Americans, first, last and
all the time. We are all thinking OF
the welfare and security of America,
trying to do what is best for her in
these troubled times. Honest men and
women can and do differ as to what
course is best for our country, but
we should differ without impugning
one another's motives, without re-
course to name-calling or mud-sling-
ing, and above all, without kindling
the horrid flames of racial and reli-
gious intolerance in this democracy OF
ours.
Whatever may be our view on this
present national issue, let us all joir
in stamping out this viscious doctrine
of hate wherever and whenever il
appears.

A powerful and well-financed lobby is

defeat the project. Friends must wake
up. Fred Keiser of Duluth, represent
ing the Minnesota Great Lakes Tide
water Association is in Washington,
and has taken charge of the campaign

In few lines, the Seaway plan is
this: We already have fourteen foot
channel on the Great Lakes and in
the st. Lawrence River. The new
meSure provides for the deepening OF
some channels, and the building OF
some locks, so as to make a twenty
seven foot channel. This will permit
ocean-going boats to come from the
Atlantic Ocean to Duluth, Minnesota,
as well as other lake ports. The
measure will come to the Rivers and

WPA Completes Road
Projects In Allen Co.

Completion of two-mile stretch of
Sandusky road in Jackson township
has been announced by William B.
Schmuhl, WPA district manager.
Improvement of this Allen county
road begins at the intersection of
Fett road and continues east to the
Hardin county line. Bituminous ma
cadam was applied to 197, 7,586 square
feet of surface, covering 5,114 cubic
yards of stabilized base.
Originally started last November
the project was suspended shortly af-
ter Christmas when the weather be-
came unsuitable for dressing the
berms and applying the road top mix.
The project was reopened August 25
with so men reporting for work.
In addition to the Sandusky road,
improvements to the Bluffton Bentley
road have also been declared complet-
ed by Schmuhl. The finished section
on this road lies between Ada and
Harding roads in Jackson township
and extends a distance slightly in ex-
| cess of four miles.
Previous to the opening of this pro-
ject a section Of the road was inn
proved by WPA in 1889 from state
route BON, south one mile. The sec
tion just completed extends that inn
provement of important road surface
to state highway 81 thus providing a
vital connecting link. Approximately
100 men were engaged in this enter
| prise.
The Button Bentley road is Is feet
wide and 81 ,230 feet in length. Boil
six and eight-inch drainage pipe were
installed along 1874 feet of the en-
tire road length. Nine existing cul
verts were extended while 19 nev
culverts were built.

Priorities May Hit
Sewer Project
Continued from page -

forward this week in the preparation
Of plans to be submitted to WPA
heads in Washington, doubts arose
as to whether materials necessary
for construction of the sewer system
would be available should bond
issue for the project be authorized
by voters at a special election.
There are no priorities granted
for materials in sewer construction,
C. S. Finkbeiner of the Toledo en-
gineering firm stated here recently.
In view of increasing difficulty in
obtaining materials due to demands
of defense industries it would be
impossible to forecast what the stu
alton might be at such time in the
future when they might be needed
here.
Two materials which Finkbeiner
said would probably be most diff
cult to obtain are pumps and rein
forcing steel. Steel which would be
required early in the construction
work now requires four months for
delivery. Pumps to be installed in
the sewage treatment plant, would
not be required SO early.
Expect Estimates Shortly
Borings which are now being TAX
en- will show, in addition to the sub
soil types, the distance to underly-
ing rock from which it may be de-
termined as to the amount of blast
ing necessary to construct the sys-
tenn.
Following completion of the plans,
engineers estimates as to construc-
tion costs are expected shortly.
Finkbeiner gave as his opinion that
assuming WPA aid would be avail
able to the extent as it was two
years ago, present cost to the town
for intercepting sewers would be
from $4,000 to $4,000 greater than
the cost of conducting a complete
sewer system in 1889, the last time
it came to a vote.

Flashers, bells and all other cleo
trically operated railroad signals on
the Nickel Plate Railroad for a dis
tance of 125 miles are kept in repair
by Joe Stage, of North Lawn ave-
nue., who has been signal maintainer
of the railroad for 20 years.
Stage takes care of repair and
maintenance work of all railroad
signals on the road from st. Marys
to Sandusky. These include: flash
ers, bells, gates and distance signals
for crossings. Although his working
day is eight hours, Stage is on call
"A hours day and occasionally is
called out at night to effect signal
repair.
Travel in the territory is made
largely by motor car which attains
a speed of about 35 miles per hour.
If called out at night to do repair
job Stage drives to the location in
his automobile.
Stage came to Bluffton in 1929 and
has worked the assigned territory
since that time. The signal main
tainer is required to live in Bluffton
because the AU tower is located here
and instructions are more easily Civ
en- from the roads signal and COM
munications center.
Stage also has responsibility for
the maintenance of home signals of
the A. c. & Y. railroad. This con-
sists of flasher to be installed at
the roads Main street grade cross

BlufftOn Man Maintains Nickel
Plate r. r. Signals For 125 Miles

The distance signals on the Nickel
Plate road will likely be set out
farther in the near future because of
the increasing speed of the trains,
Stage stated.
Repair and maintenance of flash
ers is full time job as many types
of failures occur. In addition to
technical difficulties occasioned by
vibration of the trains, an occasional
motorist will skid into the railroad
signal and knock it down.
The job is out of doors and altho
a lonely one it is healthy and the
scene of difficulty is constantly
changing making the work interest
ing, it was stated by Stage.
