The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1954-03-11

If the cash stretches far enough, say members of the
Richland Township board pf trustees, we're going to start
putting up signs at township road intersections designating
the proper names of the roads just as you do with the streets
here in town. To this many area residents in town and
country alike will sound off 4 hale and hearty amen.
For old-timers it may be sufficient to give ones address
bv saving ~ live three miles north and one mile east of
Button, or "Mr. Doakes' farm is one mile west and half a
mile south of the Ebenezer church, but unfortunately, every
one who must take such directions are not old-timers.
To begin with, most people are accustomed to having
their streets run fairly due north and south or east and west,
but in Bluffton one must be able to box the compass to get
ones bearings. Since Bluffton is usually the starting point
for passing out directions, one i apt to become confused even
before starting.
In this day of auto travel and truck delivery some sort of
road marking is a must. Directing strangers is difficult
enough under any circumstances and understanding them is
even more so. Road identification is not only important as a
courtesy to strangers and guests, but it can be very important
in the event of fire or other emergency.
So, a move by the Township trustees to identify Richland
roads with intersection signs will undoubtedly be applauded.
Next time you see one of the members of the board it might
be a good idea to let him know how you feel about it.

Bluffton Boy Scouts have scarcely made the acqualnt-
ance of their new supervisory copncil of the Put-Han-Sen
area, and the local organization is already honored with being
chosen as the host for the District court of Honor. Approx
mately Is troops from the Putnanl area will be represented
here tonight, Thursday, at the Court of Honor to be conducted
in the First Mennonite church.
In other respects also things seem to be looking up for
Bluffton Boy Scouts. There seems TO be a great deal of in
terest in the new Explorer Troop, and it is felt that separating
the older boys from the younger members of Troop Sc will be
beneficial. The difference in ages G the two groups makes
for completely different interest in activities.
Perhaps now it will not be mucRlonger before Cub Scout
packs will be organized for the still younger boys. Some
work. it is understood, has already been done in this direction.
Apparently the executive Leaders and the organization
under the Put-Han-Sen Council have contributed a great deal
to make things start to hum in local Boy Scout activities.
Now It is up to Bluffton adults to show their interest also.
One way would be to attend the Courtof Honor tonight. The
public is invited and the youngsters always appreciate having
their elders show an interest in thep work. 1t makes the
elders feel younger, too!

The Ohio highway department is appealing to motorists
from an economic as we'll as civic prde standpoint to refrain
from httering the roadsides with trash. Highway Director
S. O. Linzel points out that thousands of dollars are spent
each year by the Operations Division because of the untidy
habits of some motorists and their passengers.
Not only does the habit of tossing trash from moving
autos cause an unsightly mess along the roads, but it causes
expensive damage to moving equipment and heavy cleanup
costs.
If a publicity campaign does not work for cleaner high
ways, Linzel concludes that more stringent enforcement of
the anti-trash law will have to be re4rted to. Perhaps a
little Army treatment" of such litterbugs would be helpful
put offenders on police call and sentspse them to picking up
papers along the roads with a burlap big and a spiked stick.
LONE OF THE THINGS WE ADMIR- in President
Eisenhower is his tenacious adherence to the principle that
government should refrain from trying TO plan and run the
lives of its citizens, but rather stand ready to help out when
ever and wherever its citizens are unable to carry on alone.
We, as a nation, must put our trust in God and not in a golden
calf."-Dawson, Mimi, Sentinel.
RAYMOND MOLEY has been a student of government
for many years. Of late, he has been payiag particular atten-
ton to governments social activities. Heles what he had to
say about them in one of his Newsweek columns: Govern
ment in business, except in a limited number of common
services and in rare emergencies, is expenspe and inefficient
and unnecessary. That tells the story."-Lake Placid, N. Y,

impressive than calendar which
he receives annually from a Lima
business, firm. We'll, Mr.. Felt didn't
ask anya1es for Che job, and people
.Aof that Tx ian leave their overshoes
at home if they want to, when hi
says rain.
