Two From BlufftOn
Answer Call To

Still Too Much
Paper In Garbage

Although most Bluffton house
holds have discontinued the use
of paper in wrapping their garb-
age, this weeks collection still
contained too much paper to
make the cooking process COM
pletely successful, Mayor w. A.
Howe has announced.
Under a new state law garbage
fed to hogs for disposal purposes
must be cooked to prevent carry
disease to the hog herd. In ad-
dition to increasing the bulk of
the load which must be so process
sed, the paper affects the quality
of the food.
In the future it may be neces-
sary to refuse to pick up garbage
where waste paper has been
mixed with it, the mayor said.

Just because we've had an unusually
hot summer is no reason tosbelieve
that the winter will be exceptionally
severe, Ray Burkholder, area wealth
er observer, told members of the
Bluffton Lions club at their meeting
last week in debunking old weather
adages.
Mr.. Burkholder said there was
nothing in Ohio's weather records to
indicate any type of trend or rela-
tionship of summer to the following
winters weather.
Neither does the thickness of the
muskrat's fur, the tightness of the
husks on corn, nor the number of
nuts the squirrels are storing away
have any indication of the severely
of the winter, he said. Rather,
these things merely indicate the

Eight Major Projects
Mark Upsurge In Con-

/ Nine major farm building projects
IN the rural area surrounding Bluff

in construction activity locally.
\ Included in work under way are
the construction of two machinerx
sheds, three poultry houses, two cover
ed barn yards, two barn extensions
and other projects, survey shows.
Albert Lehman, four miles north
of Bluffton, is building large ma
chinery shed and potato storage
building. The lower floor of the
shed is of concrete.
Ralph Carts, five miles southeast
of town, has just completed drive
through type machine storage build
ing, with corn cribs on each side of

ID. ]. Nicholson, six miles south of

As the day approaches-probably
some time in December-when Buff
toms half -million-dollar sewage
treatment system goes into operation,
it appeared that the Ohio Water Pol
luton Control Board is easing some
what the pressure on smaller villages
to jump Immediately into building
disposal plants.
In neighboring Pandora, the mayor
and village council was in receipt of
letter from F. H. Waring, chief
sanitary engineer of the state, urging
employment of an engineer to pre-
pare plans for such treatment
plant" even though it may be
found that construction of the facili-
ties can await some future date"
/ Waring stated that an investiga-
ton of the Pandora sewage situation
revealed tthat the creek lRileyl did
not appear to be excessively infiuen-
ced by the Pandora sewage"
"There is no doubt that the present
method Of sewage disposal at Pan
dora is a violation of the Water Pol
luton Control Law, but judging from
this one investigation, we are of the
opinion that the matter may not be
of sufficient urgency to demand inn
mediate construction of sewage dis
posal facilities" the letter stated.
The engineer further stated that
inquiry was made at the county aud
itor's office with regard to village
finances and at appears the financing
ability of the village may be rather
limited"
This week the Ohio Water Pollu-
ton Control Board issued a news re-
lease stating that "some villages are
due to get break" in the issuance
of sewage discharge permits. "Some
of these villages may even be exempt
from the permit requirement." it
stated.
This is a result of Investigations
showing that there was some ques-
ton as to whether pollution actually
existed.

type of summer just passed.
If a muskrat's fur is heavy, it
simply means he found pienty of
food and water during the summer,
and if the squirrel population is
storing away an oversupply of nuts,
it simply means that there have
been more nuts to store away.
The weather observer, however,
did note that there has been a trend
toward warmer winters over long
period. Even so, this has amounted
to only couple of degrees in the
average temperature over period
of many years.
Mr.. Burkholder described his
methods of recording the Bluffton
area weather and commented on
records of various kinds established
by the elements. fsr

Carma Installing
Big Cinemascope
Screen This Week
Protector Changes Must
Await New Lenses, Now
In Short Supply

Installation of new, wide screer
was started Wednesday at the Carma
theatre, preparatory to bringing Gin.
emascope movies to Bluffton.
Although it will be impossible to
Immediately convert Carma projec-
tion equipment for cinemascope, be-
cause of shortage of lenses, addi-
tion of the new screen will permit
increased enjoyment from conven-
tional movies, because it provides a
larger picture.
In preparation for the advent of
cinemascope' movies here, the new
Carma screen will be 14x27 feet in
size, more than two times as large as
the original screen in the movie
house.
The wide screen extends along
each side of the stage, extending be-
yond the footlights into. the seating
area.> So much space is required for
the screen, in fact, that some of the
seats are being removed.
Although the wide screen will be
installed before the close of this
week, it is difficult to determine ex-
actly when cinemascope movies will
be shown here, because of long de-
lays experienced in attempting to OBJ
tain the necessary projection equip
ment. it was announced by George
Carmack, proprietor of the theatre.
At present cinemascope has been
made available only for the larger
cities, the nearest installations in
this area being in Toledo, Detroit
and cleveland, it was pointed out.
