The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1952-11-20

THE FOG that blanketed Bluffton
and environs did its best to discourage
Sunday drivers, and those who did
venture forth found the soggy
countryside in mourning for last
summer now gone for ever.
As though the dampness and
veil that shrouded the woods and
farm buildings were not enough
to set a dismal mood, our path
led us by the barbed wire en-
closure of the doomed, just four
miles east of town.
Surely understanding the the aw-
full fate that would be theirs Just IL
days hence, detected and mournful
they seemed to huddle in groups
seeking the consolation of companion
ship their final days on earth.
1t was a morbid thought that struck
US then, and undoubtedly will live to
haunt US Thanksgiving day when
we've loosened our belt and munched
the last bite of punkin pie. Suddenly

Racket at Griffith Studium

Washington'S baseball club was pushed
around bit by the Yankees on Saturday
night. September 6, but the Mats had a
field day in comparison to the way some
of WaShington'S citizens were treated by
the Metropolitan Police.
The parking racket which fiourishes
at Griffith Stadium and it's environS, un-
checked by the police, presented several
of "Washington's finest" with an op-
portunity to fill their monthly quota of
questionable arrests. The parking racket
alluded to usually consists of a type Of
extortion by means of which the younger
generation obtains pocket money under
the pretext of preventing vehicles from
being scratched and otherwise molested
by others Of the younger generation e. e.,
themselves included. This is common
practice when one parks lawfully on the
public streets, not on some one elSe'S
property. When there is great competi-
ton for parking places, such as existed
last Saturday night, young entrepreneurs
spring out to direct haraSSed motorists
to parking places for the innocuous CD
fee of 81. This, in and of itself, should
not hold them up to condemnation. How
ever. about 80 drivers were led by some
of the enterprising youths to an empty
area between a sidewalk and fence
where they parked in time to get to the
game with no interference from the po-
lice. When they returned. each was faced
with ticket and subsequent fine.
We do not question the fact that these
drivers committed a civil trespass by so
invading another'S property, but do sub

names Of welfare benefciaries being published

whether their neighbors were on relief or not,
the pillorying of innocent victims of adverse
economic conditions
Nothing of the sort has been observed any
where in the State since the new law for open
relief rollS-subject to proper restrictions-be
came effective on June % last On the contrary,
the State Department of Welfare (Which favored
conditional inspection) has just announced that
only "a persons throughout the State asked per-
mission to inspect the rolls during the first
month of the new policy. There were few
requests from newspaper reporters, number
from county officials formerly excluded from
examining relief records and the remainder
from private citizens. There has been no whole
sale publication of names by the press Most of
those who have seen the lists have indicated
that they were satisfied with the way that aid
funds are being distributed
If there is any deduction to be drawn from
the boards announcement, it is that the citi-
zenS have displayed too little interest in how
their money is being spent. However, the very
fact that the rolls longer are an official secret
should be a deterrent to chiselers and other
unworthy applicants for State and county aid.
The knowledge that their cases would not stand
public inspection is discouraging to those who
appreciate the risk involved in trying to put
something over. Virginias experience provides
further support for legislation to open the Dis
trict's relief rolls.
