Muddy Flood Waters OF Creeks

Der varying from forty feet to larg-
er widths depending on the situations
involved would act as areas to blank
ct and hold rainfall from causing
erosion. The streams and their trib-
utaries would then form a network
of vegetation which would stop wind
as well as sheet erosion. This pro-
gram to be a success would have to
be a national program thoroughly
carried out. These strips of timber
would also form shelter belts for
wildlife and better the conditions for
fish habitation of the streams them
selves.
Through proper conservation prac-
tices, such as strip farming, and var
ious other tested means of erosion
control along with "stream-side for
ests" our streams would again run
clear even during spring rains.
We have our choice, we can clear
up our muddy water, save our top
soil or we can eventually become a
poverty stricken nation. Is it worth
it?

Bluffton Civilian Defense Workers Nav
Earn Right 10 Wear Official Service Bar

Bluffton civilian defense workers
for the first time may earn the right
to wear an official service bar APP
proved by the government and much
like the campaign bars of the armed
services, it was indicated in an an
nouncement by James NJ. Lands,
National Civilian Defense Director.
The award will be given to Civil
ian Defense volunteers with 500 or
more hours of service wherever De-
fense Councils adopt the plan. Six
distinctive bars have been authorized,
ranging from 500 to 5000 hours of
service.
"This is simply a merited recog-
milton of the Importance of the CT
villains role in this war;" Director
Lands said. "Never before has the
issue of victory depended so much
upon civilian effort. 1t is fitting
that we recognize those who, though
they cannot man gun or WELD a
bayonet, recognize their responsibility
as civilians and are in this war with
all they have to give"

may qualify for the awards-mem-

Couple Observe
18th Wedding Date

Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar H. Neuensch-
wander of Saginaw, Mich, former
Bluffton residents spent an unusual
day, last Thursday, their 25th we'd
ding anniversary.
At morning devotions of the office
force at his place of employment,
Mr.. Neuenschwander was requested
to give speech. During the day
he found beautifully decorated we'd
ding cake on his desk, the gift of the
employees of his departments. Late
in the afternoon floral gift was
sent by his employer, the Severance
Tool Industries and a Bible, a gift
from their sons Edgar and Neil of
Fort Wayne Bible Institute. The
mail brought lovely greetings from
their Saginaw friends.
Their sons could not be present,
Alan, the oldest serving in the army
medical service as an x-ray techni-
clan located in Kansas.
In the evening the management of
Severance Tool Industries, co-workers
and their wives, together with three
other friends came and surprised the
Neuenschwander's completely.
Games, contests, hymn singing and
were the evenings di-
versions and prizes won were pre-
sented to bride and groom who had
received beautiful COR
sage and boutonneire respectively.
Refreshments were served and ap-
pointments were in pink, green, yell
low and white, the cake and ice
cream being decorated with roses,
buds and 25th anniversary.
A handsome silver tea service was
presented to the honored couple at
the close of the evening and the
guests left at a late hour wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Neuenschwander many
more happy anniversaries.

Fire Fighters Service, and Civilian
Evacuation Service. Many of these
are now eligible for the 50O-hour
award, or even the 1000 hour bar,
it was estimated, but few individ-
uals in any community are expected
to qualify for the higher orders at
this time.
The award is a woven ribbon bar
one-half by one and one-fourth
inches in size, suitable to be worn
on the lapel or above the left breast
pocket. The basic OCD insigne-
the red letters "CD" on a white tri-
angle superimposed on a blue circle
appears on a white background
with vertical stripes on both sides
of the insigne.
The 500-hour bar has one red
stripe on each side of the insigne,
and the 1,000-hour bar has one blue
stripe on each side. For 1000 hours
there are two red stripes on each
side and for 5000 two blue stripes
on each side. The 4,000-hour bar
has one red and one blue stripe at
each side of the insigne. The design
