United Press staff Correspondent
wAsHIN ToN-orgsnized
baseball today faced a situation
potentially more serious than the
military draft-the possibility that
growing defense power needs may
dim or even black out night base
ball. a multi-million dollar indus
try with a gate appeal to match.
The United Press learned
that the federal power COM
mission - which may ration
electricity In an emergency
win include night baseball In
its nationwide inventory of the
power situation within the
next 10 days.
A series OF conferences with
utilities to discuss emergency
measures. including rationing, be-
gins today az Atlanta, Ca, key
point of the southeastern area
where drought has complicated the
power problem. These conferences
may determine the future of night
baseball.
PLAN CANVASS
I'VE have nothing definite in
mind right now about night
games" an FPC spokesman said.
But the subject of night baseball
will be thoroughly canvassed in
these conferences, and we'll have a
better line on the matter then. II
the situation warrants, baseball
owners may be asked TO cooperate
in curtailing night programs"
A United Press survey brought
this general reaction from base
ball officials:
Minor leagues-Judge W. G.
Branham, chief Of the minor
leagues-which depend largely
upon night baseball 10 keep
them going-said:
81 don't think there will be
any voluntary cutting down"
He said that any immediate
lights-out order would force the
minors to close shop.
Major leagues I'VE haven't
been asked yet. we're always will
ing TO cooperate with the govern
ment. but there seems no necessity
for disseminating night baseball
now"
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1941-06-05
OFFER ARGUMENTS


Baseball officials Offered these
common arguments in support Of
their contention that night games
do not place an extra burden on
power supplies and that they
should be permitted to continue:
1. When people are attending
night games, they are not using
electricity at home; therefore, the
amount of power consumed at a
game is negligible by comparison.
A Washington power company Of
fetal supported this theory.
He said that when the
Washington Senators $780,
100000 candlepower system
made its debut last week "you
couldn't tell at our power
house whether the lights were
on or off; II didn't make q
noticeable difference on the
city's power load"
2. With the defense boom on,
the demand for night baseball IL
greater than ever. Night games
Are an important factor in main
tanning m orale. furnishing q
healthy type OF relaxation.
3. A complete blackout would
kill the minor leagues and hurt
the majors, thus cutting off an Inn
portant source Of tax revenue in
the form Of admission levies, taxes
on players salaries and corporate
taxes.

Seek Funds For
100000 Museum,

Campaign to raise 100000 for the
erection of new modern museum
for Allen county will be launched
May 15 by the Allen County His
torical society, now housed in
cramped quarters at Memorial hall.
A beautiful Colonial style building,
the new museum would be located
on West Market street in Lima at
the site of the late w. J. Wemmer
homestead, which was donated to the
society. In the deed for the site it
is specified that new museum must
be erected before 1914 or the prop
erty will revert to heirs of the orig
inal owners.
Allen countys' collection of histori-
cal items and antiques is one of the
! finest in Ohio. The valuable collec-
ton now housed in Memorial hall
has been valued by experts at more
than S500,000.
The county historical society has
been in existence since 1908.

College Exerts Varied Influences On
Community Life, Essay Winner Declares

Perhaps townspeople and students
could both profit by frequent student
debates and speeches on topics of
common interest.
Students come to Bluffton college
from a wide radius. They represent
different cultures and different out
looks. This tends, in the college and
in the community, toward greater
degree of toleration. 1t also fur
nishes first-hand information from
many different sources. How re-
freshing, how real it is to have a
refugee students own story of the
European situation.
The college offers its excellent Ii
brary to the community. Its variety
of books, both classic and modern
along with its well-selected maga-
zines, are a real contribution. Cor
rect enlightenment can come only
through broad reading. Confinement
to one good magazine in the home
often means biased opinion. Lii
brary magazines make it possible tc
read widely at no expense to the in
dividual.
The college students have founc
ways of serving the community BY
teaching classes in church and il
school, taking part in the church or
chestras and choirs, and conducting
special religious services. The Y. M
C. A., Y. w. C. A, and Peace clut
carry on projects throughout the
year for the community. Some o.
these are the Christmas drive fol
buying toys for poor children, anc
cleanup days for town buildings.
College students patronize tn,
business concerns of Bluffton. How
ever, conscious effort to buy Bluff
ton products whenever possible nigh
be encouraged among the students.
The greatest contribution of all
/ feel, is for Bluffton college to Sc
a criterion of clear thinking AM
good will and to advance the Chris
tian ideal in Bluffton and in the res
of the world.

S28,9OO Needed For
Re-ROuting OF Road

Four Putnam county villages must
raise $4,000 for right-of-ways, if the
proposed relocation of State Route
65 through the county is to become
a reality.
Announcement of the figure was
made at a meeting in Ottawa last
week to discuss the possibility of re-
routing the highway to provide a
direct route between Lima and To-
Iedo.
Estimates on what each of the
Putnam county villages will be asked
to spend were as follows: Columbus
Grove, $1,000; Ottawa, $11, 300; Leip-
sic, $4,000; Belmore $1,000.
O. c. Kohl, division engineer for
the state highway department, ex-
planned the cost at the meeting of
officials representing the villages,
which also was attended by the coun-
ty commissioners.
The new route is planned to follow
the abandoned right-of-way of the
Cincinnati and Lake Erie Traction
company.
Purchase of some private property
in villages is entailed because of de-
viations from the traction right-of-
way

Extensive Celebrations On First OF Nav
Originate In Ancient Oriental Festivals

Although modern technology has
probably diminished May Day cele-
brations in America, there are many
areas in the world and some in this
country where the first of May
which occurs this Thursday, is an
occasion for extensive celebration.
For many years Bluffton college
held a celebration known as May
Day but with lengthening school
terms it was necessary to have the
celebration in June, after which ii
became known as Bluffton Day.
The remote ancestry of the cele-
bration is found in the phallic fes-
tivals of India and Egypt, which ir
those countries took place upon the
suns entering Taurus, and celebrat.
ed the renewed fertility of nature.
Druids
In the British Isles the ancient
Druids celebrated the feast of Be
on the first of May by lighting i'm
mense fires in his honor upon the
various cairns. Even to this day
similar customs survive among the
Irish and Scotch Highlanders-boti
remnants of the Celtic stock. Still
more significant is the fact that the
festival is known among them az
Beltine, that is, "the day of Bel''
fire."
The survival most familiar t.
Bluffton residents is the winding o.
the Maypole and crowning of th'
May Queen which often take place
in festivities at the Harmon Fielt
or on the Bluffton college campus.
In the days celebration a Ma.
Queen was crowned and held on
days sway over her court, consist
ing of the dancers of Robinhood ant

Further indication that the school
year is rapidly drawing to close is
seen in the announcement from the
principals office that registration for
next years courses will take place on
Wednesday afternoon in the various
home rooms. The schedule is then
prepared on the basis of the regis
trations.
Four short one-act plays and an
hour length play were presented by
the English and speech departments
in the auditorium Monday and Tues
day nights.
New officers will take charge OF
the Future Homemakers of America
meeting to be held at the high school
Wednesday night. These are: Presi-
dent, Ellen Basinger; vice-president
Eileen Wenger; secretary, Edna HUI,
Der; treasurer, Marjorie Moser; re.
porter, Levon Which.
Matters to be taken up at the
meeting will be the counting of sale:
tax stamps; consideration of a style
show; summer camping and the sell
ing of dish cloths. A seed and flow
er exchange was held.

his band, and generally of the
villagers. A patseboard hobby
horse ridden by a man was sent
around among the spectators to col
lect contributions in ladle stuck in
his mouth. Everybody who wished
to, danced around a Maypole.
Maypole
The Maypole was usually made of
birch and adorned with flowers and
ribbons. In the English villages it
was often set up for the occasion
on May Day eve, but in London and
elsewhere there were Maypoles per-
manently standing in the streets.
1t was only natural that the May
revels should invite the condemna-
tion of the Puritans. An early
Puritan writer characterized the
Maypole as "stincky idol" which
the people bring from the woods,
following it with great devotion"
And when they have set it up they
.leape and daunce aboute 1t, as the
heathen people did at the dedication
of their idolles."
In New England as in the old
country, the Puritan attacked the
Maypole. In 1880 Governor Edni-
colt of Massachusetts marched a
posse to May Day celebration and
hewed down the Maypole in Gods
name and solemnly dubbed the place
Mount Dagon, in memory of the
Philistine idol that fell before the
ark of the Lord.
But despite the concern of the
Puritans, the custom continued as
well as other forms of celebration
and there are still many sections of
United States that celebrate the
coming of May with various types
of games and festivities.
