Book Circulation
At Library Hits
An-Tine Record
Encouragement By Parents,
Teachers OF Child Read
ing Habits Noted

Always a community of book low
ers, Bluffton Public Library patrons
broke by a wide margin all previous
records last year in use of the library
facilities and number of books bor-
rowed, the 1853 leadership report
indicates.
Miss Ocie Anderson, librarian,
has announced that total book circu-
lation for 1854 shows that the
hbrary's 2,O32 registered borrowers
read 37,503 books in the twelve
months just ended. This is the high
est circulation for any one year and
is an increase of 6,007 over the prev
ious highest record.
According to Miss Anderson this
can be attributed to a number of rea-
sons. Among these were: interest in
young peoples reading by parents,
teachers and the librarian, addition
of new books and magazines and
other library materials, advertising
OF library materials IN displays and
bulletin boards by assistant librar-
ians, and more leisure time of adults.
Records showed that the greatest
gains in the number of readers were
made in March after large number
of books had been added, in June,
July and August after organization
of Summer Reading Clubs and in
December after the annual Book
Week celebration and Reading Pro-
jects had started.
Among the materials available at
the library at the present time are:
1922 books, SO magazines, news
papers, 658 film strips, 213 records,
300 pieces of sheet music. Also a
three-speed record player, film strip

use of his legs. He addressed the
club from his wheel chair.
After a siege of SO days in LAna
Memorial hospital and total of 215
treatments, Lyle estimated he had
piled up hospital bills amounting to
more than $1,000. All of this, he ex-
planned, was paid for through his
Blue Cross disqualification insurance
and the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
Perhaps this is a personal thing,
but l feel that all people who give to
the March of Dimes should know
what it can mean to a person in
need" he told the Lions. He added
that there are many cases where
special nurses are required over long
periods of time, and where hospital
bills mount to more than $1,000.
"Such bills" he said, "would be
almost impossible for persons of
modest circumstances without help
from the Foundation"
The slogan for 1866 is "This is the
year of hope, the speaker reminded,
but he said there win long be need
for polio funds after the vaccine has
been perfected. There are polio
victims in hospitals who will never
see the outside world again.
DR.. F. d. Rodabaugh told fellow
Lions that Lyle's case was one of his
toughest, and complimented his pa
tient on his hard fight to rehabilitate
himself. Since being released from
the hospital he has studied account
ing and tax work, and is now quail
fled to assist with tax reports and
other bookkeeping work for individu-
ais and companies.

Dog License Sale
Tagging Far Behind

Today is the final day for secur-
ing dog tags without penalty, and
unless there is grand rush by To-
cal dog owners for the licenses this
years local sale will be nearly 100
below that of last year according to
Claude Ream of the Community
Market, registrar for both Allen and
Hancock counties.
Fee for the licenses is 81 for
males, females and spayed females
and the law requires that all dogs
over three months must have a Ii
cense. Kennel owners must pay a
fee of, $40 for the first tag and II
for each additional one. These may
be purchased at the county auditors
office.

served here, the plant change-over
follows a trend which is becoming
nation wide, according to plant man
ager Harry Turner Sr.
Mr.. Turner explained that the
Page Dairy plants in Angola, Toledo
and Mansfield had already gone to
producing only Grade A milk
products, and the Button improve
ment is the last to be made by the
company. Principal difference in
equipping for handling Grade A in
stead of B mill; is in the more strict
sanitary regulations. Mr.. Turner
said that it was generally considered
in the business that all will come TO
the higher standards in the near
future.
The change-over here means that
Page pickup trucks will be able to
stop for milk only at farms meeting
the Grade A specifications. Arrange
ments have been made, Mr.. Turner
said, to turn over present Grade B
producers to other companies. How
ever considerable number of local
farmers are making provisions to
meet the stricter Grade A require
ments so they can continue to be
serviced by the Bluffton concern.
The Bluffton plant does not make
finished dairy products, bat processes
them to provide basic ingredients for
the company's cottage cheaJe, ice
ckeam and other customer products.
Mr.. Turner said that he expected
tie plant to be operating on a hund-
RI ID per cent Grade A basis within a
pSriod of two months. The change
OYER for short period is expected to
re Ruce the quantity of milk handled
heSe, but this is expected to be fol-
lowed by an increase. New equip
ment being installed will be more eff
ficient and provide for increased
capacity.
The change is not expected to af-
feet employment at the plant in any
way, the manager added.

Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton today called on Attorney
General Brownell to investigate
charges that members of the
Democratic organization and
State officials prevented Negroes
from voting in the recent pri-
mary elections in that State.
In a letter to Mr.. Brownell,
Joseph L. Rauh. jr., national
chairman Of ADA. referred to
apparently well documented ac-
counts of open, widespread. sys-
tematic" denial Of the vote to
Negroes, in violation Of the Con-
stitution and Federal law.
Mr.. Rauh commented that
"the Eisenhower administration
has been profuse in expressing
its concern for minorities, and
specifically the rights of Negro
minorities. He added that the
administration now has an op-
portunity to make good on these
pledges. and a duty to perform,
as well.
The ADA chairman cited press
accounts Of the activities of State
and party officials to prevent Ne
gro voting, by challenging Me-
groes at the polls. the arbitrary
and discriminatory" use Of ques-
tons and tests to disqualify 9TH
erwise eligible voters, and the
announced determination not to
count Negro votes II they were
cast. He said these constituted

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 26 Dr.
An investigation committee OF
the Northwest Synod of the
United Lutheran Church-which
brought heresy charges against
two young pastors-questioned a
third minister yesterday.
The Rev. Victor K. Wrigley
met with the committee for
three hours behind closed doors.
Pastor Wrigley. IS. has been
head Of the congregation at
Gethsemane Lutheran Church
at Brookfeld, in neighboring
Waukesha County. for seven
years.
No charges were filed against
him by the committee. Synod
President Dr.. Paul Bishop of
Minneapolis said another meet
ing with him will probably be
held later.
The synod's second heresy trial
is slated to open here next Tues
day. The Rev. John Gerberding
OF Menomonee Falls, also in
Waukesha County, is charged
with eight counts of doctrinal
deviation. He denied them.
A synod trial board last
month found the Rev. George
P. Crist, 81. of Durham, an

other small Waukesha County
community, guilty of nine Of IA
charges Of deviating from off,
cial church doctrine. The board
recommended he be suspended
from his pulpit and the recon-
mendation was followed by the
synod executive committee. The
suspension was approved yester-
day by the members of Pastor
Crisis congregation. He denied
all IA of the charges. II
Pastor Crist said today he was
considering an appeal to the
synod of the trial boards f1nda
ings. He said he has until Suns
day to make a decision. The
finding of the board, the actions
OF the committee and the pen-
atty handed down are subject
to review by the synod convens
ton here next spring.
Mr.. Crist also stated he was
offered the pulpit of the Unita-
rian Church at Mukwonago, also
in Waukesha County, but said
he will not take it.
I'm still goofy enough to
think that I'm a Lutheran" he
said.

violations Of the 14th and 18th
Amendments to the Constitution
and of the Federal Civil Rights
Act.
Attorney General Brownell,
Mr.. Rauh insisted, should inves-
tigate and If individuals were
apparently guilty, should seek
indictments for these violations.
He claimed that responsible per-
sons had declared openly their
intention to prevent Negro vot-
ing. He challenged the admin
istration to defend the right of
Negroes to vote in Mississippi.
In the past, Mr.. Rauh continued,
the Federal courts have upheld
convictions growing out OF far
less fragrant impairments Of the
right to vote.
One Of Mr.. Rauh's comments
was to the effect that it has
been reported that the Demo-
cratic Committee Of Bolivar
County announced fatty that
ballots in an all-Negro commu-
nifty, If cast. would not be
counted.

AS Big A Ministers
Set Adjournment

GENEVA, Rp-The Big Four
foreign ministers decided in secret
session today to adjourn their cur
rent Geneva conference with a
final meeting next Wednesday.
The American delegation issued
this formal statement:
"The ministers at their private
meeting. this afternoon, bearing in
mind their agreement at New
York that the conference would
last three weeks, agreed to organ
ize their work here so that the
conference could finish its work
on Wednesday,"
This will conclude the confer
ence one day short of the three
week target. The ministers have
spent 81 hours in formal session
here since they convened Oct. 27.
But they have found Soviet re-
sistance to German unity through
free elections and to Western pro-
posals on disarmament and East
West contacts as steadfast as ever
Soviet Foreign Minister v. M
Molotov torpedoed any hope OF
German identification in slash
ing speech Tuesday. Yesterday, he
took a stand on disarmament COM
pletely unacceptable to the Amer
lean, British and French ministers.
Working groups on the third
item, opening up Russia to the
West with. mutual exchange of
travel, culture and trade, are in
complete deadlock.
