PUMPER UNIT IS
LOANED TO TOWN
FOR FIRE DEFENSE
New Pumper, Mounted on Trail
er, has 500 Gallon per
Minute Capacity
More Than 100 Pieces of Pro-
tective Equipment Receiv-
ed from OCD

Bluffton's fire fighting strength was
considerably increased this week with
the addition of a new pumper unit
and more than 100 pieces of protective
equipment, loaned to the town for
the duration of the war by the United
States Office of Civilian Defense.
The equipment was sent here fol-
lowing request by Fire Chief Guy
Corson and Clair Fett, chairman of
the Bluffton Civilian Defense council,
at meeting of the Ohio Civilian De-
fense council at Columbus last spring.
Corson Property Officer
Corson has been named property
officer for the equipment which has
been loaned to the town on the basis
of an official survey. Influencing the
decision as to places where ALLEGATIONS
should be made was the u. S. Army's
judgment as to the importance of the
military and industrial installations
in the community under consideration,
it was stated.
The centrifugal pump is mounted
on trailer and is capable of throw
ing stream of water at the rate of
500 gallons per minute. 1t is power
ed by large Chrysler motor and can
be used as an auxiliary to the present
fire truck or could be used TO fight
fire alone in case the truck was call
ed to another fire.
Will Tow Unit
By way of comparison the present
Shsdrh1ker trut3s eq1irpsd With !
pump at capacity of 600 gallons
per minute. The new unit is mount
ed on an iron wheel trailer and for
the present it is planned to tow the
pump unit with the REQ hose truck
in case of emergency, it was stated
by Mayor w. A. Howe.
Also being investigated is the pos
sibility of mounting the new pumping
unit on truck to facilitate the trans
portation of the equipment in case of
fire the mayor stated.
Also included in the protective
equipment loaned to the town for the
duration were: 400 feet of two and
one-half inch fire hose and 100 STIR
rup pump extinguishers, five fire.
mems coats and one fire ladder.
Stirrup Pumps. :.
Twenty more stirrup pump ex-
tinguisher will be sent to Bluffton
to make a total of 120 available here
for emergency fire conditions. Ac-
cording to present plans the exiting
uishers viii lbe assigned to various
fire wardens in the community, the
mayor indicated. One of the exiting
uishers may be seen in the display
window at the Bluffton News.
Receipt of the eqipment gave rise
to expressions of satifaction among
the town officials who indicated that
Bluffton is now in much better po-
sition offer adequate fire protection
to the town and its war industries.
Not only were the industrial install
lations a factor in influencing allo-
cations of equipment but the amount
of existing equipment already in hand
We're given consideration in loaning
the new units to this community, it
was stated.

COP Expects Increase
Of 58 Delegates al
1914 Convention
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The 1914 Republican National
Convention will have a delegate
voting strength of 1858, an increase
Of So over 1910, with 80 States and
Hawaii showing gains in delegates
and States losses because of revised
allocations designed to stimulate
Republican voting.
That is on the basis of an unofl-
cial tabulation at COP national
headquarters today. 1t will not be
made official until the National
Committee meets in December or
January to select a convention city.
The 1910 convention at Philadel-
phia adopted new rules reWarding
with more delegates the States and
districts that got out the Republican
vote and-With an eye chiefly on the
South-penalizing States and dis
trlctS that didn't.
The 10 States that cast their
electoral votes for Wendell Willkie
in l940-Colorado, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Michigan, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota and Vermont
will get bonus of three delegates
at large. But in some of these
States the gains will be offset by
district losses resulting from reap
portionment
Eleven other States will benefit
by a three delegate bonus for elect
ing Republican Senators in 1912
after failing to go Republican in
the 1910 presidential race. They are
Delaware. Idaho, Illinois, Massachu-
sets, Minnesota, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Oklahoma, Oregon,
West Virginia and Wyoming.
Texas will have the largest dele
gate gain-seven-in the next con-
vention. California will come next
with six, all of which are due to a
pickup of three new House seats
under reapportionment. Oregon will
gain five, including three for elect
ing a Republican Senator in 1912
and two for an additional Repre-
sentative gained through reappor-
| tionment.
On the loss side, South Carolina
will head the list with six fewer DEL
! egates because of failure to poll a
thousand votes in any of its six dis
! tricts in the last congressional cleo
tions. For years Republicans have
not attempted to get on the ballot
