HANFORD ENTERTAINS AT BUFFET DINNER TO
 CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY

F. G. Hanford, pioneer resident of Wrangell, with Mrs. Hanford, en- tertained a number of guests last Monday evening at a delicious buf- let dinner at their home to celebate Mr. Hanford's birthday. The roast turkey, baked ham, and trimmings
 were prepared by Mr. Hanford, chef de luxe, and he was assisted during the evening by Chester c. Steear and Joyce Hay.
 MT. Hanford has celebrated his last 24 birthdays in Wrangell, hay ing come here from Ketehikan in 1924. He lived several years in Ket- chikan where he and Mrs Hanford were in the bakery business, and prior to that, they lived on Port land Canal
 Ever since his arrival in Wran- gell MT. Hanford has been one oe the towns most interested civic workers. He served many times on the City Council, three times as Mayor and is charter member of the Wrangell Blks lodge. He has served as Exalted Ruler and Dis trict Deputy of that organization.
 During his successful terms as Mayor, as well as when he was on the Council, he was instrumental in getting Wrangell's modern schoo building; his efforts helped bring Wrangell Institute to Shoemaker Bay; he led the fight, almost alone, for purchase of the present light plant by the town of WrangelI. He also, according to The Sentinel files, was the spark plug" to get Wran- gell's main street paved, which is an outstanding asset to the town. In 1945 he served creditably in the Legislature. When his bill to cancel the school bonds was defeated he put. up a fight which ended with
 the lawmakers cancelling the inter- est on them. He put through an em- ergency appropriation to collec long-oyerdue bounty on eagle claws which benefited several of Wran gell's citizens, as well as many oth- CTS. He got funds to build Wran- gell's seawall and authored a bill which passed the House 21-3, to seek medical aid and disqualification for the small operator" fisherman Even on recent trip to Juneau Hanford got the Senate to introduce bill for aid to hospitals, such as Wrangells and he is still cores bonding with Army Engineers and Delegate Bartlett for dredging of Wrangell's small boat harbor. Han- ford won't let them forget.
 All in all, the A birthdays he has spent here have benefited Wran- gell. Perhaps no man in Wrangell has spent more out of his own poe ket for the towns promotion than

Ben Engdal and Harry Sundberg this week announced virtual com pletion of their new shrimp eaii- nery here and said they would be- gin operation May 1, opening of the shrimping season

 The two partners said they will employ about 25 pickers. a size able and steady payroll increase to 2 Wrangell's economy.
 It is also possible, they added, that crab meat will be canned in the fall. The shrimps will be pro- cessed in the usual cold pack method. RI
 Both men are experienced fisher men, having been engaged in the industry for many years. Sundberg was raised in Wrangell and Eng dal has lived here for many years.

 Down here in Wrangell We were schocked and grieved this week to read of the passing, in Juneau, of Helen Friend, wife of Elmer Friend, veteran newspaper ma and for the past many years man. aging editor of the Daily Alaska Empire.
 We know the depth which hei family and her numerous friends must feel at their sudden loss. The family's long residence in Juneau, plus Helen's soft-spoken, gentl charm and graciousness made for her friends who will never forget her.
 She lived life which made her friends feel better for having known. her. She passed away in her sleep, peacefully and withon pain. Those are comforting mem ories to her bereaved family.
 But the emptiness is there, ana the desnlate sense of loss.
 To our fellow newspaper man and his, family goes our deepest sympathy, : Keep your chin up, boy.

The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1949-01-06

proposal was made to the state de-
partment of education last summer
recommending the addition to Bluff
ton of parts Of the school districts
now being served by Beaverdam, Mt.
Cory, Rawson and Pandora schools.
At that time Bluffton sought the
addition of more territory on the
basis that the towns present school
capacity would provide for handling
$50 additional high school students
and 80 additional grade school stu
dents.
Idle Facilities
Idle facilities here are said to be
in marked contrast to situation
general thruout the state in which
school enrolment is outgrowing
building capacity.
In the proposal submitted by
Supt. Ralph S. Lanham, Richland
township area now in the Beaverdam
and Riley township school districts
would send grade and high school
students to Bluffton. High school
students in Beaverdam also would
attend Button High school, but
Beaverdam would continue to operate
a grade school.
Orange township now in the Mt.
Cory and Rawson school districts
also would be transferred to Bluffton
should the proposal be approved.
This would include all of the town.
ship except a portion one and one
half miles wide in the south part
of the territory, which now is in the
Ada school district.
With two small school districts in
the same township, Bluffton and
Beaverdam face a mutual problem in
fins nsncing operation of their schools
because of limitations on the taxing
districts.
This contention was borne out last
week in announcement of Allen
county's taxation table for the com
ing year which showed Beayerdam
had the highest school tax Of any
village in the coutyn, with Bluffton's
tax rate running close. second.
