Recreation Board
Busy CGnlpGigners

If Bluffton voters are not well ac-
quainted with the facts on the swim
ming pool bond issue it will be no
fault of the village recreation COM
mission. Members have been explain
ing their plans to as many as three
meetings in a single evening.
Tuesday night Pete Schmidt spoke
before the Legion Auxiliary, Maurice
Bell adressed the Progressive Mothers
and DR.. B. w. Travis wedged in
talk at the Mothers Night Out club
between attending a cut lip and an
emergency appendectomy at Commun-
ity hospital.
Councilman Gerald Swank, men,
ber of the commission, has also made
numerous talks and will speak again
tonight at the Jaycee meeting.
Mr.. Swank explains why the COM
mission decided on a bond issue to
finance the pool rather than public
subscription, and why the Buckeye
seemed to be the only site where all
swimmers could be Accommodated for
an expenditure of $4,000.

Columbus Grove
First To Beat
Junior Pirates

Columbus Grove handed the
Bluffton junior high school football
team their first setback of the sea-
son last Thursday afternoon at
Grove with a 14-0 win. It was the
final game of the season for the
Pirate fledgelings.
The Bulldog juniors tailed both
their touchdowns in the opening
period. A 55-yard runback of a
pass interception and a 44-yard
sprint around end accounted for the
tallies. The Pirates advanced only as
far as the Grove 14-yard stripe
where they lost the ball on downs.
The Pirates yearlings finished the
campaign with a Pill mark. Two
weeks ago they were tied by La
fayette Sc. Dick Basinger passed
to Ed Niswander who ran 60 yards

Progress Assn.
Clarifies Stand
On Swimming Pool
Passage OF Bond Issue, Not
Location OF Pool, Is
Business OF Group

Representatives of various organ
izations in the Community Progress
association will meet Tuesday even
ing at 500 in the high school
cafeteria for a final briefing on the
swimming pool bond issue before
launching a doorbell ringing cam
paign on behalf of the $4,000 issue.
In a letter distributed to the var
ious organizations comprising the
association this week, President Paul
Stauffer outlined the past and pres
ent stand of the group concerning
the swimming pool.
The letter recalls that in 1852
various committees of the Progress
association studied possibilities of
sites and financing. With heavy
sewage disposal system commit
ments facing the town, it did not
seem advisable to plunge into pro-
gram that would involve very much
cash outlay besides the $4,000 avail
able from past contributions.
The association recommended that
the Buckeye quarry be used for deep
diving and swimming with a pool for
general swimming and wading
basin. The costs were predicted on
materials needed to pour concrete
for the walls, asphalt bottom, con-
crete sidewalks, and a used pump
to circulate water. Free labor was
to be requested wherever possible,
and no liberation plant was planned.
The present bath house was to be
repaired and used. The estimates
totalled between $4,000 and $4,000
at the time.
On that basis, the letter stated,
the association recommended to
council that a park and recreation
commission be appointed for further
action.
The commission was appointed and
reported to council as follows after
several years work:
l. The Buckeye quarry site and
surrounding area would be decided
to the village. The Council has ac-
cepted, and deed is in the village
name.
2. A pool sketch was drawn up
by the Toledo engineers who engin-
eered the sewage system.
3. Cost of installation with neces-
sary excavating, grading, concreting,
ETC., was estimated at $4,000.
a. The plan now calls for deep
diving and swimming in a lined off
area of quarry. A 20 #. by 35 #.
pool, fenced off from quarry is avail
able for swimming. A wading pool,
concrete walks and beaches are pro-
vided. A bath house is not included
in present estimate.
5. Present plans do include a
chlorination and filtration system
necessitated by pending state legis-
lation that would make such an in
stallation imperative in all pools.
6. The engineers sketch was
drawn to show possibilities of the
site presently selected by the Com
mission.
z. The Commission recommended
a $4,000 bond issue to build a swim
ming pool. The Council agreed and
took necessary legal action.
"Now we have the machinery set
up to finance a swimming pool. AS
far as the Progress association is
concerned in this campaign, we are
promoting the passage of the Bond
ISSUE" the letter continued.
1t is further explained that no
Contracts have been let, and that
council and the recreation commits
sion win still be in position to
. hear and act on other suggestions
after the issue is passed.
