Expect To Revive
Local Interest
In Trapshooting
Public Invited To Shoot
Sunday Afternoon At
Bluffton Airport Range

The revival of trapshooting as a
popular pastime of Bluffton sports
men is planned by group of old
timers who have announced the in
stallation of traps at the Bluffton
Airport and the first public shoot
scheduled for this Sunday at p. m.
The Sunday shoot viii mark the
first time the sport has been offered
the public here in the last four or five
years. Active in the group are c. v.
Stonehill, Wilbur Niswander, Lawr-
ence Hosafros and Ed Reichenbach,
who were prominent in the sport here
when the Bluffton Community
Sportsmen's club was organized
principally for trapshooting.
The equipment was set up at the
airport about a month ago, and the
public is invited to attend the first of
what may be a series of shoots this

would appreciate an opportunity to
try out their pieces before the season
opens
Fathers are also being encouraged

instructions in care and safe use of
firearms. A group of Lima Boy
Scouts are expected to receive in
structions here at a later date.

Water Problem At
Buckeye Lake
Remains Critical
Emergency Measures Fail To
Add Noticeably To De-
pleted Oxygen Supply

The Buckeye Lake water situation
remained critical this week with
emergency measures to rebuild the
oxygen content of the water having
little success. Daily tests made by
Harry Triplehorn of the municipal
sewage treatment plant indicated no
improvement in the oxygen content.
Although there were no indications
of further loss of fish in the quarry,
the tests continued to show only 1.6
parts of oxygen per million of water.
Authorities say that minimum of 3
parts per million is necessary 20
sustain fish life.
Meanwhile, the Bluffton Com
munity Sportsmen's club meeting
next Monday for its annual meeting
will proceed with plans to conduct its
new winter ice-fishing program at
the waterworks quarry. Recent tests
show a high oxygen content of 10.2
parts per million.
Officials of the sportsmen's group
were of the opinion this week that if
the Buckeye is to maintain proper
balance of oxygen it will be necessary
to cultivate some underwater plant
growth there. The large number of
fish stocked in the quarry lake use
up the oxygen supply and dead leav-
es at this time of the year decay on
the lake bottom and use up additional
oxygen in the process. There is no
plant life to help restore the supply.
1t was also reported this week that
the overflow pipeline at the Buckeye
quarry had become stopped up thus
halting the flow of water. 1t was
hoped that by lowering the water level
a little and decreasing bottom level
pressure, the springs feeding the
lake would become more active there
by adding oxygen to the water.
Other efforts to replenish the
oxygen included pumping water into
the air with the old town fire engine
and chulning the water with outboard
motor boats.
