The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1955-12-15

A boob written by former Bluff
ton Methodist church pastor over a
30 year period and on subject term
ed, "viralally impossible" by his con-
temporafies, has recently been pub
lisheG II
n DIR. w. w. Miller, psychologist
philosopher, on the faculty of Me-
bteska Wesleyan university, Lincoln,
Neh., is the author. "The Kantiah
Thing-in-Itself" or The Creative
Mind" is the title Of the book
The former Bluffton minister
chose the most vague and elusive
mass of subject matter in the entire
philosophical field, chiefly because his
colleagues said "it can't be DONE"
Now, 80 years later, the book is
to be published by the Philosophical
Library in New York, considered the
ultra-sophisticate in the book pub
fishing world.
In its summarization of DIR. Miller's
book the publishing company has this
to say:
ain this work, the author holds
that all the purly 'transcendent' Phil
osophies of Reality are erroneous;
contending, instead, that Reality
though including 'Ideality, is trans
cendental, the term meaning not
beyond but I'm the midst of.
"So-called Reality and sIdeality' are
together one. The Phenomenal and
the Noumenal are not 'disparate.
Man can exist in Phenomenal
world and 'subsist' in a Noumenal
world at one and the same time"
If this is NOT perfectly clear to you,
DR.. Miller has described his special
ties in Philosophy as "epistemology,
metaphysics, and non-formal logic" ("
The author, who incidentally has
four additional books nearing COM
pletion which too have been in the
process over a 30-year span, is a
native of Bolivar, Tenn.
He was schooled by his father, also
a teacher, until the age of Is. He
later earned degrees from Union Col

Order Bath House
Be Included In
Swim Pool Plans
Council Will Delete AS
Alternate Bid If
Funds Won't Reach

Although there has been little hope
that the $4,000 voted for mupic-
ipal swimming pool at Buckeye Lake
Park would cover the cost of a bath
house, plans for one will be included
when contractors bid on the project
this winter or early next spring.
Action was taken by council at its
meeting Tuesday evening to instruct
the Toledo engineering firm of Fink
beiner, Pettis and Strout to include
the bath house in its plans now on
the drawing board.
1t was agreed that the bath house
should be included in the planning,
but that separate bids be taken 50
that it could be added or deleted
from the project at will. In the event
the money viii not stretch sufficiently
to build the bath house Immediately,
the blue prints will still be ready
whenever it is deemed possible.

Towns Only Debt
Now Is On Sewage
Disposal System
Final Bonds Retired On
Old Light Plant Issue
Of 1917

The Village of Bluffton this month
made its first $1,000 payment on the
S1SO,O0O sewage disposal plant bond
issue, Clerk A. j. B. Longsdorf re-
ported to council Tuesday evening,
noting that in addition to this, $S,9O7
has also been paid off on the 5000
issue of sewer revenue bonds.
These two issues, Mr.. Longsdorf ex-
planned, are of present the villege's
only debt. The larger issue of bonds
is being reti r ed from real
estate taxes at the rate of $1,000
semi-annually; the smaller issue is
being retired from sewer service
charges appearing on the monthly
water bills at the rate now of ST.
38S.75 every six months.
I His report on village finances also
showed that tine final two payments
of $500 each were made this year on
an old issue of electric power and
water plant improvement bonds orig
inally issued in 1917.
Final payment of these old out
standing debts resulted in a slight re-
dsaction of taxes duIing the coming
collection periods, Il was. pointed out
when council adopted its rates fol
1866 on taxes collectable next year
The new rate for village purposes
will be $2.40 per thousand dollars OF
property value. This is 80 less thar
last year, Mr.. Longsdorf said, due to
the fact that less will be required fol
meeting bonded indebtedness.
Council also had communication
from County Auditor Russell L. Hire
noting that the villages total taS
duplicate for 1866 amounts tc
SIS, ,752, ,967. of this amount $3,O94,41(
is the value for tax purposes placed
on all real estate in the corporation
limits; 81, ,482,37O, the value of utili
ties properties; and $1,176,187, value
of personal properties.

Upon Swank's motion, and
opinion will be sought from SOlic-
itor John ROmey, on the legality
of the proposed action.
Other members agreed that the
best way to preserve the names
of those buried in the cemetery
would be to follow Swank's sug-
gestion. Many of the markers
have long ago disappeared. The
last burial in the Jefferson street
cemetery was in 1883, according
: to Swank.

kefauver Sees
India and China
Key 10 Future

| INDIANAPOLIS. oct. 20 R.-
Senator Kefauyer. Democrat Of
Tennessee. said today the future
Iof Southeast Asia hinges on the
Outcome Of q silent and bitter
struggle between India and Red
China to win the people of that
area to wholly opposed ide-
!ologies."
He said the crisis in Asia pre-
SCENTS the West with "a very deli
cate diplomatic situation" and
declared the United States must
completely disassociate itself
from the old colonialisrn."
In a speech prepared for the
Indiana State Teachers Associa-
tion. Senator Kefauver said he
had returned from q trip to So
Wet bloc nations and the Far
East with these two firm con-
victions:
/. 1.-THE fate of the world rests
in the still-feeble hands Of Asia s
depressed and hungry masses"
who he said scrabble for food"
while their leaders struggle for
nationhood."
2. Southeast Asia need not
slip under the Bamboo Curtain"
II the United States exercises
discretion and forebearance"
and demonstrates true states
manship" by "helping Asians to
help themselves"
Senator Kefauver said "all
Southeast Asia wants to know
whether underdeveloped coun-
tries must sacrifice personal lib
critics and individual initiative
in return for economic develop
ment and enough to eat"
To this question, he said,
China proclains. Yes: India
answers. NO."

| INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. The
Indiana farmers are sore at in
ldustry and labor.
With the recent steei-alto
wage increases boosting the price
of farm equipment and supplies
lin a season Of declining income,
the farmer feels that he has had
about all he can take. This is
1.-THE emphatic view Of Hassell
Schenck, who speaks for some
1900 farmers as head OF the
Indiana Farm Bureau.
What are they going to do?
Mr.. Schenck frankly doesn't
know. What he does believe is
that unless the downward spiral
on the farm is checked, the
country is building up TO an
other situation like that OF the
llate 1920s. And he gloomily pre-
diets that with the public debt
now around $3.50 billion, things
would be a lot worse than when
the debt was about SIC billion.
StabiIizing Income
81 think that the most i'm
portant thing facing America to-
day is stabilizing farm income
at proper levels" he says.
AS for industry and labor:
Labor used the high profits
lof industry as a lever to get
more money" Mr.. Schenck said.
Then industry, instead OF abb
sorhing the increase out Of these
profits, just passed it on to the
public. In some instances. even
added more than the cost OF the
higher wage"
Both groups are Offenders. Mr..
|Schenck believes. Il wouldn't
blame one more than the other
Everything used on the farm
has gone up, he said. citing fenc-
ling materials as an example.
Wire fence. he explains. is 10
cents a rod higher: steel posts,
10 cents more.
Indiana has a lot of diversified
farming. but on the 100000
farms Of the State, hog-raising
is the dominant business. The
thing that has hurt worse than
