Aid For Freedom
Village Program
Seek Contributions To
Send CARE. Supplies
To Korean Village

Asking the assistance of other
Bluffton clubs and organizations, two
women's clubs, the Travel Class and
Century Circle, announced this week
that they have undertaken to help
one of the Korean communities to get
on their feet through CARES Free
dom Village" program.
The Bluffton clubs are members of
the Ohio Federation of Wornen's clubs
in the northwest district who will aid
the Korean village of So Raj Myon,
an assimilation project of 657 popu-
lation.
The village includes ITO families,
all refugee farm families from North
Korea, who settled on 81 chungbo of
land made available to them by the
Provincial Government in April 1854.
A chungbo is equal to 2.45 acres.
Because most of the land has been
exposed to sea water and has to be
reclaimed before it can be put into
effective rice production, the families
have planted % additional chungbo
of diked government land in rice this
spring in order to have crop during
the period of reclamation.
A sum of $1,000 extended in need
ed supplies will substantially assist
the whole community as they work
toward their objective of self suffici-
ency, CARE officials have explained.
Members of the local women's clubs
assisting with the project will place
box containers in Bluffton stores Fri
day through December Is. They will
carry the label, Korea Freedom Viii
lage Campaign.
Mrs. Sidney Hauenstein and Mrs.
Ray Hilty are co-chairmen of the
Bluffton project. Serving on their
committee are Mrss Bertrand Swank,

One group of hunters maintained
that the take of birds Tuesday was
almost double that of last year. The
other segment of nimrods declared
that if there were pheasants around,
they didn't see 'em.
Most hunters were in agreement on
the fact that most of the birds were
to be found flocking together in places
and not well distributed over the
farmland.
Although the rains Tuesday damp
ened the clothing and spirits of some
of the hunters and kept birds under
cover, there was the usual number of
first-day hunters in the field. Bluffton
restaurant owners reported large
numbers of strangers in hunting togs
patronizing their counters and tables
all day long. Apparently the flood of
hunters found Bluffton despite the
bypass.
Among local hunters reporting
success in the fields are the follow
ing, listed with number of pheasants
and rabbits bagged in that order:
Robert Diller, 2 and 1; Leland Gar
matter, 2 and 1; Ray Lee Which, 2
