Dodgers Drop Dresser
AS Manager For 1854

BROOKLYN, R-The Brooklyn
Dodgers Wednesday dropped
Charlie Dresser as manager.
Dresser led the Dodgers to Ma
tional League championships in
1852 and 1853 but lost to the
New York Yankees in the World
Series both years.
The failure of Dresser and the
Dodgers to come to terms for
1854 was complete surprise to
baseball observers, who expected
Dresser to return at an increase
in pay.
Walter O'Malley, president Of
the National League champions,
told specially called news con-
ference he had offered Dresser
a one-year contract which the
manager had refused.
Dresser, O'Malley said, insisted
on three-year agreement as a
reward for leading the Dodgers
to National League pennants the
last two years.
Dresser said he had asked or
iginally for a three-year contract
but would be willing to settle
for two.
II won't reconsider" he said.
II won't manage the team next
year."

Cancer, while in second place

to reflect Alaska's young" popu-

greater extent among the older
age groups. Accidents were in
fourth place in the States in the
1851 figures.

year. However some work will be
done in foliage feeding and insect
control tests.
In addition to furnishing practi-
cal experience in classroom theory,
the FLA farm project raises a SUBJ
stantial sum of money to carry on
club activities through the next
school year. Last summer the farm
netted $3.50, the clubs share of q
$3.50 rental agreement with the
farm owner, Mrs. Samuel Kohler.
The farm project also provides
training for the FLA boys in MAIN
tenance of their own gasoline pump,
tax refund applications, liability in
surance and workman's compensa-
tion. along with buying the neces-
sary supplies for the work.
Last years potato growing project
in which number of garden plots
around town were used, will not be
continued this summer. Smallness of
the plots and the fact that they were
spread over large area made this
project Improbable, Mr.. Rasinger
said.

Summer Reading
Clubs Open This
Week At Library

Summer reading clubs aimed par
ticularly at keeping youngsters of
grades one through six interested in
continuing their reading progress
will open this week at the Bluffton
Public library, Miss Ocie Anderson
librarian has announced.
The summer activity is particular
" beneficial TO first and second grade
pupils just learning to read, since
they forget many of the words they
have learned by sight during the
long summer vacation period, Miss
Anderson said. The library clubs
keep them interested and avert the
retarding influence of the lay-off.
The first grade club will meet
Thursday, second grade on Friday
and third grade on Saturday of this
week. Fourth, fifth and sixth grad
es will hold their first sessions on
the same days in that order next
week. The clubs elect officers, en-
10y films, stories read by the librar-
ian, and report on stories read by
themselves.
Notices of the meeting dates were
being put in the mails early this
week.

Presbyterian
Church To Receive
Face Lifting Job
Brick Structure To Be
Sandblasted And Repointed
Early This Fall

The 66-year old Bluffton Presby-
terian church building on Main street
at Cherry, will undergo a face-lift-
ing operation early this fall, probab-
ly in September, when a Lima con-
tractor has been engaged to sand
blast the entire surface of the brick
building, point up the brickwork
where time and the elements have
eroded the mortar and waterproof
the exterior.
A decision was made last Sunday
morning at a congregational meet
ling to proceed with the improvement
after the board of trustees recon-
mended that the work be DONE.
1t was pointed out that delay even
thru another winter might result in
much more costly repairs to the prop
erty. At some places in the CHM
ney and walls of the old building,
almost all of the mortar has dis
appeared. At other points it has de-
Perforated to such point that it may
be removed with the point of pen
Gil.
Contractors examining the struc-
ture noted the buildings solid con-
struction of four courses of brick.
They said that most buildings re-
uire the repointing service long be-
fore the Bluffton need arose.
Cost of the work will be in excess
of $4,000, and the congregation hopes
to raise the money between now and
the time the work is completed thru
special collections for the building
fund.
