Bluffton May Get State Highway
Roadside Park At Buckeye Lake
Site Faces North Main Street
at Bridge Spanning Big
Riley Creek
Completion of Formalities VIII
Clear Way for Park
Next Spring

Establishment of state highway
department roadside park facing
North Main street on Buckeye Lake
grounds was proposed this week as
an addition to Bluffton's expanding
park facilities.
With location of the park here
looming as a distinct probability, the
municipal council will take up the
matter at its regular meeting next
Monday night, following which for
NAL application is expected to be
made to the state.
Proposed site of the park is on the
strip of land between the Riley creek
bridge over North Main street and
the former Faze filling station. 1t
would be separated from the picnic
grounds at Buckeye lake by a small
stream which empties into the Riley.
Endorsement of the project also
will be considered by the Community
Sportsmen's club and the Lions club.
Willingness of the state highway
department to establish a park here
similar to that at the Foust farm.
south of Beaverdam on the Dixie
highway, has been communicated to
Bluffton officials, and there is every
likelihood the park will be built next
spring.
Landscaping and maintenance of
the grounds would be done by the
state highway department, and picnic
tables, drinking water and other faci-
lities also would be provided.
The site proposed for establishment
of the park is included in grounds
leased by the own from the Central
Ohio Light and Power Co. for park
purposes. The municipality has a
fve-year lease on the property, sub
ject to renewal, which has approx
mately four years to run.
A park can be made available here
because of the fact that the state
highway department has none of its
recreational facilities in the Bluffton
patrol district, which extends from
the Foust farm, two miles south of
Beaverdam, to the Allen-Hancock
county line, north of Blutfton.

Biuffton Marine Held as
Hostage After Capture at
Wake Island

A prisoner of the japanese fol
nearly four years, Marine Lieut.
David Kliewer, Bluffton officer cap.
tured by the enemy at the fall OF
Wake island, received better treat
ment than most Allied soldiers held
by the Nipponese.
Information received from Lieut.
Kliewer at Honolulu when he recent
ly arrived there enroute home dis
closed that Zentsuji prison camp, in
which he spent all but few months
of his captivity lacked the inhumane
treatment characteristic of most
such places.
"Zentsuji," he said, ''was a model
camp. 1t was set up as propaganda
for visiting members of neutral gov
ernments and Red Cross representa-
tives."
Lieut.. Kliewer was in that camp
from Jan. II, 1912, after being TAX
en- to Yokohama for questioning, un-
til June of this year when he was
transferred to camp at Rokurishi,
from which he was liberated when
the Japs surrendered.
ASSISTED DoCToRs IN CAMP
With the aid of Navy doctors in
the Zentsuji camp, Lieut.. Kliewer
applied himself to studies in medi-
cine, preparing himself for enroll
ment in a medical school in this
country. He assisted with the work
of the doctors and told of several
operations performed.
"An appendectomy was performed
in room that was bitterly cold.
Altho we were permitted to operate,
the japanese would not provide US
with charcoal for heat. Despite
these conditions the patient sur
vived," he said.
Lieut.. Kliewer was credited with
sinking a japanese submarine off
Wake island in the heroic but short
llNEQ uC1CISC VI tltdL lilly dSlAAI
outpost, and also probably downed
two Jap aircraft in battles over the
island.
GETS DEMOLITION TASK
When the last of Wakes planes
returned a shattered wreck, he was
assigned with three men to blow up
the airfield in the event the Japs
attempted to land planes on it.
During the last night of defense,
he and his men, armed with tommy
guns and grenades, turned back sew
eral Jap charges. On the following
morning he was given the surrender
order by Major James P. S. Dever-
eaux and turned himself over to a
squad of japanese.
They used Lieut.. Kliewer as a
hostage and seated him on the roof
of a truck to prevent the truck be-
ing fired upon by Marine infantry,
who still were resisting.
