High Water Floods Out
MUskruts, Deters Trapping

High water from the heavy rains
week ago handed the start of the
local fur trapping a setback for the
first few days of the season which
opened last Tuesday but assured a
better than average early season
quality of muskrats in the Bluffton
area.
The unusually high water which
flooded fields and streams In the area
chased the muskrats from their homes
and kept trapping at standstill for
the first few days.
Local fur dealers pointed out how
ever, that muskrats produce better
quality of fur when they are moving
from one home to another and the
high waters forced their search for
new environs.
The price for the muskrats, raccoon,
mink and weasel in the Bluffton area
started at lower level than last year
but is expected to climb with the
arrival of more of the animals on the
market. Last year muskrats brought
$1.25 on the early market.
The night hunting season for rae
coon, oppossum and skunk and the
trapping season for furbearing
animals opened last Tuesday. They
will continue through January 81,

Town May Buy OWI
Bonds To Finance
Pool Project
Action Would Save Taxpayers
Approximately $4,000
In Bond Interest

Bonds in the amount of $4,000
to finance the towns new swimming
pool may be bought by municipal
council in order to eliminate interest
charges which taxpayers otherwise
would be required to pay.
Funds for the purchase of the
bonds would come out of the bal
ance of slightly more than $4,000
remaining from sale of the town
owned electrical system last fall.
The proposal to put this money
to work for the town through buy
ing its own bonds originally was
suggested by Mayor w. A. Howe,
and there were indications Tuesday
night when council set wheels in
motion to issue the bonds that
course likely will be followed as a
means of saving upwards of $4,000
in interest,
Designed for a 10-year period the
bonds will be retired through .o9
mill real estate levy. AS money is
repaid to the town treasury from
the tax it will go back into the
permanent improvement fund. :

Adult Farmer Class Studies Solution
To Diminishing Income Problem OF Farmer

for farm products. In addition the
farmer should be urged to spend
more money to advertise farm
products, it states.
In this respect the resolution also
states the federal government should
do more research in the area of dis
covering new and better uses for
farm products with Congress ap-
propriating sufficient funds to cover
such a program.
Finally the, resolution states that
the Agricultural Department take
steps to remove a percentage of
land from crop production and pay
the farmer for such practice. The
resolution points out, however, that
such payments be adjusted to benefit
the small farmer to a greater degree
than the big-time farmer, which, it
states, usually benefits most from
the reduction of surpluses.

Up Four Cent Tab

Consumption of milk by Bluffton
school children has tripled in the past
three weeks since the local school has
adopted the federal school milk sub
sidy program, Superintendent A. B.
Murray has announced.
Bluffton elementary school children
are consuming the new low-priced
milk at the rate of $50 half-pints per
day compared with normal previous
sale of 100 or less pints.
Children, under the program, may
buy milk in the half-pint container
for two cents at recess time and also
again if they bring their lunch to
school. Each two-cent purchase is
then subsidized by the federal gov
ernment for an additional four cents
to pay the bill.
The subsidy is provided for chill
dren consumers only and not for
adults on the school staff.
Mr.. Murray also said that the local
school cafeteria is taking advantage
of the governments offering of free
surplus foods for school lunchess On
the surplus list during November and
December are Pinto beans, peas, dried
milk, tomatoes, butter, milled rice,
cheese and shortening.
A typical S0-cent school lunch in

one way or another.
Recount of the Bluffton ballots was
demanded by members of the Home

listed expenses of approximately $50
in campaigning against the bond
issue.

Good on behalf of the Home Owners
Protective association. Paul Diller,

association, Councilman Gerald E.
Swank, and Solicitor John Romey,

it. The margin, of favorable votes be-
yond the necessary IS per cent was
81.

Disturbed over the Tightening
economic situation In which farmers
find themselves the Adult Farmers
Glass of Bluffton high school have
added their thoughts on a solution
to the price problem.
According to Lorain Basinger, vo-
cational agriculture teacher. at Bluff
ton high school and instructor for
the Farmers Club, the seven-point
program recently adopted by the
group will be presented to district
Congressman for their consideration
in action to improve farm prices and
the economic position of the farmer.
Included in the program was a
resolution urging that the govern
ment make every effort to send sur
pluses to needy people at home and
abroad. The resolution also asks
that the State Department develop
every possible export market, re-
gardless of private interests at home
or abroad.
Another step in this direction con-
Germs grain loaded in ships as a
place of storage. The resolution
urges that this grain be moved i'm
mediately without cost to foreign
countries needing food. 1t is felt
this would be the least costly to
move and that the present cost of
storage would go a long way in the
movement of the grain.
In regard to the farmers self help
the resolution urges that they be
encouraged to spend more money for
research to find new and better uses
