Electrical Storm
Damages Wiring
At Light Plant

The electric circuit serving all of
the west side of town was cut off last
Friday about noon for a period of
approximately an hour while repair
crew at the municipal light plant re-
placed wiring damaged by the cleo
trical storm Thursday night.
Superintendent James Draper ex-
planned that lightning struck the
street lighting circuit during the
night and followed the lines into the
plant, burning off a section of insula-
ton near the switchboard.
The electrical storm Thursday even
ing, probably the worst of the spring
season, was accompanied by high
winds and many Bluffton residents
worried through the night fearful
that the storm might assume tornado
proportions. Tornado warnings were
issued early in the evening by the
Lima and Findlay radio stations.

Search (NFerk For 1nteddted Light Bulbs,
CulpritA OF Focal Radio, TV interference

Old-style, clear glass nght bulbs
% to 40 years old, easily identified
by the sharp glass tip on the end,
are in use more commonly than sus-
pected in Bluffton homes, and cause
major share of radio and televis-
ion interference.
That the antedated bulbs can be
blamed for lot of those head-spin-
ming, wavy TV pictures was dis
closed this week in announcement of
plans for the Light-Up phase of
Buttons annual cleanup campaign,
scheduled to get under way here on
April "a.
In the Light-Up program, home
owners are urged to search their
premises for the old-type light bulbs,
and bring them in for free exchange.
Made of clear glass, the old bulbs
are usually pear shaped and have
the now outdated sharp glass tip
at the lower end. The inner struc-
ture resembles a criss-cross fork ar
rangement on a glass stem, with
wires strung from one to the other
in clothes line fashion.
Although most home owners feel
there are no bulbs of this type in
their residences, sponsors of the
light-up drive say it is surprising
how ,,oapy cap ha found in norch
lamps, attics, fruit cellars, clothes
closets, coal bins and other places
where it is not necessary to change
bulbs often.
These old-style lamps have a pc
culiar manner of oscillating and Gre

waves) which interfere with both

as prize fish under sponsorship of the
Business Mems association, which is
providing cash and merchandise
prizes for lucky fishermen. .-.
In addition to the trout, more than
a ton of walleyes have been re-
leased in the fishing waters, of which
rs are tagged prize fish, so there will
be plenty of fish for all comers in the
fishing extravaganza opening here
Sunday.
To fish in the Buckeye, anyone over
16 years of age must be member of
the Community Sportsmen's club,
which includes fishing privileges.
Total cost is So. A special badge,
provided free, must be worn by any
one over 16 fishing. No state fishing
license is necessary.
Riddles under 16 may fish without
charge and also will get first crack
at the fish in the derby Sunday for
the first Is minutes from 2 until 2:15
d. m. is reserved for them.
In preparation for the derby, fishing
has been closed at the Buckeye since
Easter, and no one will be permitted
to drop a line into the water until an
aerial bomb signals start of the fish
ing event at p. m.
Although the Buckeye has been
closed for two weeks, fishing has con-
tinued at the water works quarry
where a load of large Lake Erie wall
ewes was released several weeks ago
All tagged and prize fish, however,
are in the Buckeye.
Following opening of the derby
next Sunday, additional stocking OF
the two quarries will continue as
finances permit, club officials an.
nounced this week.
As an accommodation to anglers
minnows will be sold at the Buckeye
Sunday afternoon.
Radio prominence will be given the
trout derby when members OF the
staff of Radio Station WILMA make
on-the-spot broadcast transcriptions
to be aired by the Lima station on
one of their programs.

In reaching their decision that re-
sort to litigation is the only avenue
remaining in obtaining right-of-way
for the Little Riley intercepting sewer
across the Motter farm, the heat of
the Wednesday night discussion at
times reflected the tension built up
since dickering for the easement first
was started last fall.
Councils vote for court action fol-
lowed on the heels of a counter
proposal by Motter and his attorneys,
which the city administration had
under consideration for several days
prior to the mid-week meeting.
Terms proposed by the Motter in
terests were not revealed in the dis
cussion, but council opinion that the
settlement asked was unreasonable
was indicated in the decision that
court action would provide the only
answer to the months-old problem.
Four of the five councilmen attend
ing, who voted for settlement by
process of law, said at the Wednes-
day meeting that they saw no reason
to reserse their opinion, first express
ed in d-February, that negotiations
with Motter should be stopped and
that the court action should be start
ed.
In the decision to press court pro-
ceedings, affirmative votes were cast
by Councilmen Clay Henderson, Del
bert McGinnis, Donald Ream and
Everett Sutermeister. Councilman
Richard Davies, who dissented, said
that he was following that course be-
cause of recommendations of City
Solicitor John Romey. The other
councilman, Gerhard Buhler, was un-
able to attend the meeting.
Since the mid-week decision, there
has been no indication of what action
has been taken in the matter by the
/ town, for meeting scheduled for last
Monday night was postponed when il
was found impossible for Solicitor
] Romey to be present according to re-
ports.
A followup meeting is planned fol
this Wednesday night, however, ac'
cording to Councilman Buhler.

Club To Release
Prize Trout In
Quarry Thursday
Thousands Expected To
Throng Bluffton For
Annual Fishing Event

Free fish poles for the kiddies,
prizes galore for lucky anglers, on
the-spot radio broadcasts, and gala
yarnival of outdoor activities will
mark the opening of Buttons ex-
panded spring trout and walleye fish
ing derby at 2 p. m. next Sunday at
Buckeye lake.
In the Red Letter Day on Bluff
toms fishing calendar, opening of the
derby will be an extravaganza of ac-
tivity and will go on as scheduled
Sunday afternoon, rain or shine.
Lured by awards represented by
tagged fish and other prizes offered
in a long fishing promotion list, the
turnout this year is expected to be
equally as large as that of 1852 when
upwards of 5000 persons thronged
the quarry grounds, including specta-
tors as we'll as anxious anglers.
Each of the first 100 kiddies, ac-
companied by an adult, registering at
the shelter house in Sportsmen's park,
beginning at 1870 p. M, will receive
a free fishing pole, complete with
cork, hook, line and sinker.
The free pole plan is a project of
the Bluffton Business Mems associa-
ton, which is cooperating with the
Bluffton Community Sportsmen's club
in conducting the derby again this
spring.
In preparation for opening of the
derby, nearly 1000 fine rainbow
trout will be released in the Buckeye
quarry this Thursday night. More
than 100 of the trout will be tagged

use, one such lamp will interfere
with reception within a radius of
two to four blocks, and some cause
interference up to several miles.
In addition, the old-type lamps are
inefficient in comparison to more
modern types. A modern 40-watt
bulb, for example, will produce more
light at less expense than an old
one rated at go watts.
To clear up the nuisance, the board
of public affairs will replace any
old-style lamp with a new 40-watt
bulb, free of charge, for any resi-
dent of Bluffton. A list of the deal
