OUR FIRST BLUFFT0N TROUT
DERBY was everything we were
promised last Sunday. Of course, the
snow furries and cold wind kept a
good many of last years spectators
at home and there was no solid line
of parked cars out to the county line
road, but the real fishermen were
there, worms, minnows, wading boots
ct al.
AS they say in the Army, Sum-
days weather separated the
boys from the men" but not
according to age. Before the first
bomb more than enough future
Waltons had lined up to claim the
bamboo poles promised the first
100. And it didn't take long to
show that an old-fashioned bam-
boo pole and red and white fioater
was just about as successful
equipment as the fanciest gear in
the crowd.
Apparently the Buckeyes hungry
trout didn't care whether worm or
minnow was lowered to them from the
end of a glass rod with SIS spinner
or a cane pole and the cork from a
kerosene can.
But the trout were the only fish
bitin'. Nary a single walleye fell for
the tasty morsels tempting them by
the thousand. Old timers predict the
big boys will be biting come May.

ing day this year by little coot, who
also met an untimely end.
The duck-like bird had himself a
wonderful time throughout the after
noon diving beneath the water and
relieving fishermen of their minnows.
But his pranks were not favorably
received by one group of fishermen,
who ended them forever with a few
well-directed stone-throws.

MORRIS GROMAN, who we re-

Pusan, Korea, recently wrote his
sister, Margaret Groman, that he had
another chance meeting recently with
a former Bluffton College classmate.
Having returnd from visit to the
medics in another area in Pusan, Nor

the main chapel downtown. Feeling
a tap on the shoulder, he looked
around to see Donald Gingrich. In

fused to bite at Buckeye quarry for
the opening day crowd Sunday, what
is believed to be the first catch of this
season was landed last Thursday at
the waterworks quarry by John Lock,
1O9 East Elm sreet. Lock, an en-
ployee of Buschring Brothers on the
sewage disposal plant project, took
2h-pound walleye, 16 inches long.
He used night crawler and made the
strike casting under the waterworks
spray. Another fisherman the even
ing before landed two nice perch from
the same water.

No substantial changes were made

Largely through the work and gen
erosity of Miss Anne Marvel, reno
vatiOn of the church was undertaken
and the building raised high enough
to permit the construction of a
room large enough for a kitchen,
Sunday School room and also for
social needs of the church. In 1889,
during the ministry of DR.. Ewig,
the interior of the church was re-
furbished, the dark pews and wood
work being painted white.
In May of 1851, the church had a

Street being 100 feet and having a
depth of $50 feet. At that time the

July 1 1851 a thirty-mOnths CAM
paign of mOney-raising was under
taken by the congregation. sChed-
uled to end December 81. this year.
During this intervening time steady

At the congregational meeting on

First Presbyterian Church, on
North Bedford Street will soon
begin its building project which was
decided upon in July of 1851 and for
which the congregation of the
church has been working during the
interim. The Ways and Means COM
mittee gave a comprehensive re-
port in a congregational meeting
held in the church, on Sept. 13 and
in accepting the report, authorized
the Trustees Of the church to sign
a contract with John l.. Briggs, the
lowest bidder, and also designated
Building Committee comprising
Norman C. Abbott, William Il. Rat
ledge, Arthur Lee Pittard, and
James NJ. Tunnell. Jr.
The construction program and
repairs to the present church build
ing is expected to cost approx
mately $6O,O00.0O. The plans include
the erection Of a Sunday School
addition of six-rOOms, a washrOOm
and pastors study. This addition
will be Joined to the main structure
forming an ell on the northern side
of the church. In addition to the
new building the church itself will
receive additions and repairs, in
Guiding the placing of brick veneer
ON the outside walls; the giving of
an entirely new facade to the front
of the church with Colonial
columns; the addition of a new roof
and the replacing of glass where
needed In the stained glass windows.
Plans for the remOdeling and ad-
dition were drawn by Charles l..
Bolton. of Philadelphia, noted for
his work in church architecture.
Mr.. Bolton will act as Consultant
and advisor to the building COM
mittee.
First Presbyterian Church, OF
which Rev. George Allen LeUkel
is pastor, was organized on January
q, 1860 by the Presbytery of L.ewes.
In the beginning there were only
18 members. and three years after
the founding of the church there
were only II members and an an
nual gross budget of $4,000. The
fact that the church was kept alive
was attributed to the faithful labOrs
Of John r. McFee, Esq, who served
as ruling elder from 1862 until his
death. The church struggled along
for ten years without a building
and meetings were conducted in the
Court House and other places. II
1871, when there were 25 communi-
cant members the congregation
raised $55O.0O to begin a building
fund. In October of 1871, Judge
Edward WOOtten donated a lot tC
the congregation on the northern
edge OF town and it is noted that
he inserted in the deed a provisC
that there never could be a buria
yard on the premises. In the same
month the lot was decided. a contract
for the construction of the church
at a total of $3,OO0.0O was let tC
Hiram T. Downing and Peter
Pepper. Over a year in process o
construction the church was dedi-
Gated on December Is, 1872.

without benefit of a regular pastor

Modem Marriage
Jealousy Is a Disease
But Not Infectious

Then go on to ask yourself
why you are behaving in this
childish and harmful way. It's
obvious that you have no conf
dence in your ability to hold
your husbands love. and that
means that you aren't really on
your job-you haven't tried to
make yourself into a good wife.

waste any time expecting That

ing?" that will give you more
detailed instructions. It will be

accompanied by five cents In

dressed envelope. But the i'm
portant thing for you to do now
Is to try to make yourself into
a better wife. Your husband
married you because he wanted
you. All you need to do is prove
to him that his judgment was
good!
Evening star., 1953-04-01
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Jealousy is not an infectious
disease. It might better be
called a constitutional disease.
To be more exact, jealousy (that
is, the sort of childish exhibi-
ton that usually goes under this
name), merely shows that you
have never grown up.
That's my answer to Mrs. A.,
who writes: "Is jealousy CATCH
ing? Before ! was married I
was never jealous of my husband
or of any other friend I ever
had. Before we were married
my husband was jealous and he
became even more so after we
were married-though with no
reason that I could see.
Nov. after nearly two years
of married lige, he has changed.
He is a little jealous. but not
to amount to anything. On the
other hand. I have become jeal-
Gus the way he was in the be-
ginning. Is jealousy catching,
or am I unconsciously getting
back at him for his jealous
period?
Am I acting foolish for being
jealous when he keeps staring
or looking back at attractive
women when he is with me? I
don't care how much he stares
when he is alone, but can't
take it when he is with me. I
have told him about it, but that
doesn't seem to have done any
good"
A certain amount of jealousy
is natural during courtship, Mrs.
A., and it has to be outgrown
in marriage. Your husband has
apparently been growing up sat-
isfactorily. from this point of
view, whereas you have been
sliding backward. You are there
fore damaging both yourself and
him: because love and conf
dence in marriage are particu-
larly important in the release of
an individuals natural powers.
You did well to tell him of
your jealousy-not for his bene-
fit. but for your own. It's
good thing for a woman in your
position to say frankly, I'm
childishly jealous and I'm going
to try to outgrow it. Meanwhile,
be patient with me. won't you
dear?"

sunlight without getting spots on
your hands and without pre-
mature skin aging.
The middle aged woman should
also take care in the kind of
cosmetics she uses. Unless she
has an oily skin, she will be wise
to use cleansing creams rather
than soap and the colors of her
makeup should be softer because,
under all circumstances, the skin
tone changes as the years pile
up.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

In New York beauty salons
they will tell you that they can
guess the part Of the country
from which a woman comes by
her skin.
English women have long been
famous for their beautiful COM
plexions because English air is
so moist. In some of our more
arid climates, where the skin
Is subjected to constant drying
by extremely dry air, the sun or
wind, 1t assumes a leathery ap-
pearance unless it is given care.
It lines early in life.
One Of the youngest looking
women I know, with the most
beautiful complexion I have
ever seen. is rs years old. I
have known her for a long time.
She never went into the sun
shine without protection for her
face and neck and never left off
her nightly skin fabrication. She
did suntan her legs.
More and more correlation is
being made between the sun
and premature skin aging. It
has long been recognized that
farmers and sailors and those
who indulge in outdoor sports
most Of the year may look quite
old at an early age. The natural
oils have been decreased at a
more rapid rate than usual. Skin
cancer is more prevalent
among those who are in the sun
much Of the time.
Many women have. brown
spots on their hands or unusual
Fermentation which might have
been avoided if they had pro-
tected themselves from the in
tense rays Of the sun. This is
especially true as one grows older,
For the first time I have about
four small freckles on my hands
for which q patch Of zinnias is
responsible. I don't like zinnias
that much. I did not wear
gloves.
The sun and outdoors are
healthful and sports are fun!
What Is . woman to do If she
values health and fun, and also
her complexion? She can take
her swims or indulge in outdoor
sports early IN the morning or
late In the afternoon. She can
wear gloves when she gardens.
She can use one of the very
effective screening products now
on the market which cut out
harmful rays.
She can use an oily founda-
ton in daytime and give her skin
nightly fabrication. She can give
up that yearly lovely deep tan as
q long range choice. Remember
that you get plenty of reflected
health from the sun, even sitting
IN the shade on a sunny day.
You must choose. # you are
middle aged or even a little on
the early side Of 1t, you probably
cannot spend hours in the bright

industry have stimulated Labor
Union leaders to ask and re-ask
for increased wages. Seven rounds
have been granted and we are now
facing a request for an eighth
round. This demand will meet with
stronger resistance than previous
demands because business is look
ing ahead to readjustment and lower
profits. After all, profit sharing
depends on pTofits-nO profits no
profit sharing. Labor Union leaders
are not asking for profit sharing,
but for annual wages and fringe
benefits. They realize that funda-
mentally profits depend on manage
ment and business conditions. A
business may make million dollars
in one year and fail the next year!
Profits Are A Managerial Problem
How a business enterprise is
managed determines it's success or
failure. The management must pay
the current rate of wages If it is
necessary to borrow money, to in
crease the plants facilities so that
more labor can be employed, man
agement must pay the current rate
of interest on outstanding bonds
or else go broke. Management must
meet stiff competition for goods
produced and is, therefore, restrict
ed as to what is received for COM
modities produced. Furthermore, a
manager must be a business fore
caster, expanding facilities when a
period of good business is coming,
but trimming his sails when a
period Of readiustment is in the
