BHS Music Students Again Sweep HOnors
In State Finals At Ashland College

For the fourth consecutive year,
Blutfton high schools music students
earned superior ratings in four divi-
sions of the state finals of the Ohio
Music Education associations compet-
tive finals last Saturday at Ashland
college.
The superior ratings went to the
high school orchestra, boys chorus,
girls chorus and the mixed chorus, all
under the direction of Earl Lehman,
high school music instructor. There
are 27 members of the boys group,
81 in the girls chorus, and 50 in the
mixed group.
The high school band, which has
yet to receive its first superior rating
in the finals, was rated "good".
In all cases where the local school
earned the top rating, the decisions of
the judges were unanimous, it was re-
ported.

the drilling operation the first of this
month at Negril Spot, coastal strip
of pasture land about six miles east
of Negril on Jamaica. They are do
ing the exploratory work for E. l..
Oliver Co. of Oklahoma City.
The drillers are working on an
around-the-clock schedule to send
their drill about 5000 feet under the
island in the search for oil. Mana
hans company sent the drillers down
to Jamaica to test tales told by the
islands fishermen of seeing traces of
oil on the Negril sea.
This is the first job of the kind out
side the United States that Manahan
has been on. He is looking forward
with interest to seeing whether he
will really strike oil in his first tropi-
cal assignment.
A clipping from The Daily Cleaner,
newspaper of Kingston, Jamaica,
describes the islands first oil drilling:
"'What happens when you strike
oil, if you do?' Mr.. Manahan was
asked.
"We will go on to another location
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1955-04-28

was the laconic answer of laconic Mr..
Manahan who after quarter-century
of oil mining is blase about the whole
thing.
"And if they don't strike oil Well,
they will just plug the hole and move
on to another location. They have
several in mind"
Ralph was graduated from Beaver
dam high school, and the same year
his parents moved to the Oklahoma
oil fields. Ralph studied oil engineer
ing at the University of Tulsa, and
has made his home in that state ever
since.
When Ralph's father died % years
ago, Mrs. Manahan returned to their
farm near Beaverdam, and has lived
here since.
Ralph, now married, has a son. The
family lives in Oklahoma City, and
will join Ralph this summer in ia
maica as soon as school is dismissed.
They will return to Oklahoma City in
the fall, although Ralph's new work
will probably keep him on the island.

Council Objects
To Bridge Without
Pedestrian Walk
Highway Dept. Urged To
Reconsider Planning OF New
Jefferson Ave. Bridge

Construction of a new Jefferson
street bridge without a pedestrian
walk, as planned for this summer by
the state highway department, drew
protests from Bluffton municipal
council during the past week.
The towns request for re-consid-
Grafton of highway department plan
ming came last Thursday when
councilmen first learned that the new
bridge to be constructed this summer
would have no walk.
Although councilmen were inform
ed it no longer is highway depart
ment policy to build bridges with
pedestrian walks, the local officials
renewed their protest because of the
extensive residential area east of the
bridge. Councils opinion has been
that at least one walk is necessary on
the bridge as a safety measure for
pedestrians.
Many children living in the area
east of the bridge should be afforded
the protection of walk, highway de-
partment officials were told.
On the other hand it was the con-
tention of the highway department
that a yellow line painted on the

Dlpffton Children First IA County

First and second graders at.-tlss
Bluffton school were the first in Allen
county Monday morning to receive
the Salk polio vaccinations.
Because Miss Sylvia Biederman at

superintendent VI oNllOOlS "A. ID.
Murray said that the parents of all
children in the first two grades gave
their consent for the Salk inoculations
except two. These children, their
parents said, would be inoculated by
their family physician.
Miss Young said that vaccine for
the second and third shots is not yet
on hand, but she said that she be-
lieved the other shots would be given
at three week intervals.
The county health authorities took
delivery of the first vaccine for the
local inoculations Saturday at the

Village ''InheritS"
Grass Cutting Job
At Old Cemetery
Twp. Trustees Learn Job
They've Had Many Years
Belongs To Council

Richland township trustees were
chuckling this week over obtaining q
good-natured revenge" for city ac-
ton in locating the public telephone
booth on the township portion of the
sidewalk in front of the town hall by
dropping the responsibility for the
upkeep of the old Jefferson street
cemetery in the lap Aof municipal
council.
IN relinquishing title4to the eenr-
etergS the township was ktra1sferring
to the\city what amounts 70 liabil-
Nty, lesAecially during the summer
sSasdn when srass and weeds must
.beAnIbwed.A
1 The whole thing came about when
trustees endeavored to give an ease
ment off the Jefferson street edge of
the cemetry to the state highway de-
partment for a wider approach to the
new bridge which will be constructed
this summer over Big Riley creek.
In the course of the transaction it
was discovered that no title to the
cemetery was filed at the court house
AS result the township which al
ways had assumed ownership of the
cemetery could not prove it was the
owner.
At the suggestion of the Allen
County prosecuting attorneys office,
trustees last Thursday passed legisla-
ton relieving themselves of all obli-
cations to the cemetery.
Under Section 759.08 of the General
Code of Ohio, the cemetery automat-
ically thereby became the property Of
Bluffton village.
After having ownership forced on
them by due process of law, council
men at Tuesday nights meeting
gave the state highway department
the right-of-way which could not be
acquired from township trustees since
they couldn't prove ownership.

chairman of the county board of COM
missioners, who also expressed regret
that there had been Misunderstanding
locally with respect to the attitude of
commissioners toward the two bridges
petitioned jointly last summer by viii
lage council and the Bluffton Busi-
ness mems association.
Inasmuch as legal advise from the
prosecuting attorneys office prevents
the expenditure of county funds for
bridges at the two locations, Bluff
toms only recourse would be to ask
the Ohio Attorney Generals office
for an opinion on the matter, Mr..
Roush declared.
There is no reason to arrange a
joint meeting between county COM
missioners and the village council,
the board chairman said. Apparent
ly there has been misunderstanding
on this point, for the Businessmen's
Association bridge committee has
been of the opinion that conference
between council and commissioners
would help clear the way for the two
new bridges.
The only course of action Mr..
Roush felt was open to the village
administration would be for City
Solicitor John Romey to work with
the State Attorney Generals office in
attempting to obtain a ruling which
would permit the expenditure of
county funds for bridges on College
avenue.
That procedure already had been
recommended TO the bridge committee
of the Businessmen's Association, Mr..
Roush said, and apparently the in
formation in some manner was mis-
interpreted to mean that commission
ers wanted to meet with councilmen.
Mr.. Roush said that the commits
sioners are fully cognizant of Bluff
toms bridge problems, but that the
opinion from the prosecuting at
torney's office prevents expenditure
of county funds on College avenue

Risser, former Bluffton restaurant
man now associated with the Bluffton
Stone company, is presently serving
his first term as village councilman.
Koontz, service station operator, is
making his first venture in municipal
politics. He has been active in the
Junior Chamber of Commerce here
and has served as president of the
Bluffton chapter.
Prediction campaign has been al
most CONSPICUOUS by its absence in
recent weeks, at least so far as any
form of ballyhoo such as campaign
literature, advertising or speeches are
concerned. If there is any activity to
push the prospects of either candi-
date, it is of the quiet buttonhole type.
Indications are that the voting will
be extremely light, and under such
conditions either candidate could cas-
lily win the nomination by quiet, we'll

Riser was nominated by the party
caucus while Koontz's name was en-
tered in the race as an independent
Democrat by friends.
Democrats will cast their ballots at
the regular polling places from $50
