The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1954-12-16

A Bluffton student at Heidelberg
college is receiving lot of practical
experience in teaching pre-school age
children in unique community
sponsored nursery for underprivi-
legged children in Tiffin.
Miss Sue Riser is one of 80
volunteer assistants who work week
ly at the nursery established sew
eral years ago on the college campus.
It was an idea of DR.. Forest Keen,
Tiffin, who wanted to give under
privileged children of the community
a chance for better social living,
learning manners, games, prayers
and songs before they begin school.
The children attend the school
three mornings a week and their
training resembles that received by
kindergarten pupils il almost any
community. About 80 children are
brought to the school by the Saliva
ton Army or Red Cross and are
tutored in a variety of projects.
The children are served recess
milk and crackers or cookies provid-
ed as project of'the Tiffin Kiwanis
club, which finances the pre-school
project.

BlufftOn Is Host
To Regional Meet
OF Garden Clubs

Representatives of four mems gar
den clubs within an 80 mile radius
met in Bluffton recently to for
mulate plans for organizing one
of five districts within the North
Central Region, Mems Garden Clubs
of America.
The meeting, which may set e prec-
edent for similar organizational
meetings throughout the country, was
held at the home of John Boehr, pres
ident of the North Central Region. A
breakdown of regional units into
smaller districts win permit larger
attendance at conventions closer to
home clubs, it was reasoned.
Clubs represented at the meeting
included Toledo, Fort Wayne, Ind,
Wauseon and Bluffton. From the To-
cal clubs the meeting was attended by
Wilhelm Amstutz, Kermit HI err,
Aaron B. Murray and the host, John
Roehr.
The meeting also discussed the
matter of raising funds for the john
ny AppIeseed project sponsored by
the regional and national committees.
Colored postal cards of the Johnny
Appleseed grave in Fort Wayne will
be sold as means of raising the
landscaping fund.
