operate to Remove Ac-
cumulated Debris

Transformation of a box elder
grove into a picnic grounds and
park will be effected this fall on
the old Fox Farm site, purchased
last year by five Mennonite churches
as the location for Mennonite
Home for the Aged.
Announcement that the beautiful
little grove at the crest of the hill
on the nine-acre tract will be con-
verted into a park came this week,
after nearly 100 volunteers gathered
last Thursday and Saturday to clear
the grounds.
A sealed well, last used when the
Fox Farm was operated on the
site II years ago, was opened last
week by the Bluffton Fire Depart
ment, and a new pump has been
installed.
PICNIC GROUNDS
Picnic tables will be installed in
the park, outdoor fireplaces will be
constructed. and toilet facilities will
be provided, with .-fe work schedul-
ed for completion this fall. Wood
alreadyha S been cut for use in the
fireplaces.
Entrance to the park grounds will
be off the road which is the continu-
alton of Riley street at the north
west edge of the town.
In clearing tf1e grove grounds, In
preparation for the start of con-
struction of park facilities, a crew
of 72 volunteers worked all day last
Thursday, and 36 reported on Sat-
urday to complete the work.
BRING TRACTORS
Nine farm tractors were brought
by the volunteers, to aid in pulling
brush and small trees. 1t was q
hot job, and the Thursday after
noon thundershower, which promised
some degree of relief from the 90-in-
the-shade temperature, simply added
to the humidity and caused tractor
wheels to spin in the damp soil.
Axmen chopped away roots and
smaller shrubbery which were tossed
on waiting wagons and hauled away
to a roaring brush fire.
Qualifying as the most popular
man on the job in the oppressive
weather was Rev. Howard Landes
pastor of the Ebenezer church, whose
duties as water boy kept him or
the run.
In addition to clearing the grove
| for park use, volunteer workmen
also cleaned up grounds where the
large home will be erected, just in
front of the grove.
20-RooM HOME
Although plans for the home have
not yet been completed, it is planned
to erect a 20-room structure, over
looking the village. There will be
ample ground for additional build
ing improvements. No date has
been set for the start of construc-
| tion.
Members of the committee in charge
of clearing day activities were Elam
Suter, Grace Mennonite church, gen
eral chairman; Willard ,Moser, St
John Mennonite church; Ezra Moser
Ebenezer church; D. W. BiNler
First Mennonite church, president OF
the improvement; David Burkholder
First Mennonite church, Lima; and
Miss M'Della Moon, representing the
Trenton Mennonite church.
Women of participating churches
served noon meals for the volun-
teers on the Thursday and Saturday
work days.

Truman's 5 Reaction
To SnarI in Senate Is
Still No Comment
By Joseph A. Fox

NAVAL BASE. KEY WEST, Fla,
Mar. 14.-President Truman went
into the second half of his easy
paced two-Week vacation today
with no indication of what-it
anything-he intends to do about
salvaging the wreckage of his
program on the rocks of the Sen
ate f1libuster spawned by a coali-
ton of Southern Democrats and
Republicans.
Repeated questions as to the
Presidents attitude on Capito
Hill late developments have met
with the customary mo comment
of White House press aides. Mr.
Truman has not made himself
available to reporters accompany
ing him.
In his jackson day dinner
speech, the President threw out q
broad suggestion that he nigh,
take that train" again, and lay
his case before the people.
If he does. he'll be confronted
with the spectre of the unsuccess-
full attempt to purge party dis
sidents which his predecessor ir
the White House made a decade
ago. President Roosevelt went
cunning for a company which in
cluded Senators George. of Geor.
gia; Tydings, of Maryland, and
Gillette, of Iowa. as an aftermath
of the Supreme Court fight. His
lone victim was Representative
O'Connor, of New York, chairman
of the Rules Committee.
The Natural query that arises
too, in any talk about reverslon
to the give EN- hell campaign
which returned Mr.. Truman to
the White House is: where will
he go?".
He might. observers believe
make it tough for some Republl-
cans who have gleefully joined the
recalcitrant Democrats in an ef-
ort to shred the platform declara-
tions which the President pledged
he would carry out if elected with
a Democratic Congress.
But he could hardly look for
much return from an invasion OF
South Carolina. Mississippi, Ala
bama and Louisiana, which threw
their electoral vote in November
to the States Rights ticket which
developed as a protest to the Tru-
man civil rights program.
But if any OF this dim picture
is bothering the President, he
aasn't shown it yet, and his Sun
day here was just like others he
has spent when things were bet
ter.
In company with his holiday
guest, Chief Justice Fred M. Vim
son and members of his staff, the
President attended Protestant
services at the base chapel. The
chaplain is 1t. c. c. Hartung, q
Methodist. in whose congregation
the President has appeared be-
fore.
The sermon topic was The

Lords prayer. The young chap

Key Outpost-depIore thestiset a

slaring this is making difficult the

After services. the President
shook hands with a group of
youngsters who had waited to
greet him outside the two-storied
white frame structure which
serves the joint purpose of post
library and chapel.
Then he went for a swim at the
enlisted mems beach.
Rumors out of Pinehurst, N. c..
that former Secretary of State
Marshal was coming down here,
brought word from the Little
White House that nothing was
known about the trip. but Gen.
Marshal always was welcome.
