Opinion Changing
This opinion began to change,
however, with the Supreme Court
ruling against segregation in

Indians felt, was a trend in the
right direction.

master Ed Reichenbach.
The receipts for the 12-montf

Although people like to take
vacation from donating blood
during summer months, this
doesn't mean that the need is
less. Accidents, surgery and other
things occur just the same, and
blood is required the year
around.
Local donors are particularly
needed on July "a and August Z,

Parking Limit Is

The proposed new three-hour park
ing limit on East Elm street from
Main to Vance and on Thurman
street from the city parking lot to
Jefferson street became law We'd
nesday following the third reading
and adoption of the ordinance Tues
day evening by village council.
The parking limit is aimed at
eliminating all-day parking in that
neighborhood, and was requested by
petition of property owners several
weeks ago.
In other action Tuesday evening
council gave first reading to an or
dinance prohibiting private sewage
disposal systems (outhouses) where
sanitary or combination sewer facil-
tiles are reasonably accessible. The
ordinance will take its regular course
of two more readings before adoption
which seemed likely.
Council authorized the purchase of
a $135 rotary power mower for use
at the cemetery and authorized the
board of public affairs to order 1000
feet of 4-inch iron water pipe for
extending the water line from Main
street to the new swimming pool.

SWanks Observe
10th Anniversary

Celebrating their 10th anniversary
as operators of Swank Bros. Meat
Market, Joe and Harlan Swank an
nounced this week that the store will
give away 20 smoked hams as door
prizes in appreciation of the stores
patronage of the past decade.
No purchase is necessary and door
prize tickets will be given each time
a customer enters the store.
The Swank brothers took over the
operation of the meat market in
1916, shortly after they were dis
charged from the U. S. Navy. Prior
to that time it was operated by their
uncles, Otto and Godfrey Bigler for
33 years. George Swank, father of
the present owners, had been en-
ployed in the market for 10 years
under the Biglers.
The shop, oldest meat market in
Bluffton, was first opened by Fred
Bigler in about 1890. Mr.. Bigler, an
emigrant from Switzerland, operated
the market until his death in 1913
at which time his sons took over the
business and it became known as the
Bigler Bros. Meat Market.
The operation now is handled by
the Swank brothers, their wives, Nora
and Eileen and Bob Dillman.

| Lima, has been associated with the
Eli Lilly Co., drug manufacturers and
comes here also with an earlier back
ground of six years in the retail drug
business in the Dayton, Ohio, area.
Born and reared in Mt. Sterling
Sen. John Bricker's home town south
of Columbus, Mr.. Loofbourrow was
graduated from the Ohio Military
Institute in Cincinnati. He attended
Ohio university, Athens, and Ohio
Northern university, Ada, where he
received his degree in pharmacy.
It was while attending Ohio univer-
sity that Mr.. Loofbourrow met his
wife, Dea Sue, native of Athens.
They have two children, Lynn, 4,
and Pam, / year.
Mr.. Loofbourrow also served for
three and half years during World
War II as a Navy pilot.
Plans are for MIR. Hauenstein to
continue with the store for a time
and also to assist on a part-time
basis after the new owner becomes
fully acquainted with the business.
The store was established in 1860
under the partnership of Meyer &
Moser. Shortly after the Civil War
Andrew Hauenstein, father of Armin
and Sidney, worked for the original
owners and for period of four years
1858 to 1872-owned the store In

time his brother took over and while
he was attending Bluffton college He
was graduated from the University
of Michigan college of pharmacy in
1915 and served with the medical
detachment of the 331st Infantry
regiment during World War l.

stein entered into partnership with

Better First Aid
Facilities Urged
For Annual ROde(
Six Injuries Point Need
For Protection OF Part
icipants, Spectators

More adequate facilities for treat
ing Rodeo casualties were recon-
mended by the Allen County Rec
Cross chapter this week following the
series of mishaps in which five par.
Elephants and one spectator were in
jured at Harmon Field on the Fourth
of July.
The recommendations were made
by Frances Miller, executive secre-
tary of the chapter, to Ralph
Stearns, Bluffton Red Cross chair
man.
1t is urged that if space under
the Harmon Field stadium is to be
used for first aid station that some
attempt be made to partition off the
under-stair area into a more suitable
room.
1t is also recommended that for
an event such as the Rodeo a regis
tered nurse should be assigned to the
station with the First Alder so that
she could remain at the station at
all times when the First Alder is
called away.
A doctor should also be available
from the Bluffton community, and
an ambulance should be stationed
somewhere near the First Aid Sta
ton, the recommendations continued.
Miss Miller also suggested that it
would be well to have some First Aid
instructors in Bluffton. "I am sure
you have many opportunities to teach
First Aid that we are unable to
handle. There are Scouts, volunteer
firemen, school bus drivers as well
as farmers and housewives who
should be interested" she said.
Miss Miller told the local chairman
that she would be pleased to help
plan course for instructors if two
or three men or women would be
interested in taking the training.

The village water tower will
soon be sporting a new cap.
Recently when a Fremont con-
tractor was employed to paint the
tower, it was discovered that the
steel top had rusted through in
spots and was so thin in other
places that it would not support
the weight of the worImen.
AT the Tuesday evening meet
ing of village council the board
of public affairs was authorized
to declare an emergency and
have the new cover made for the
tank without advertising for bids.
The Fremont company agreed to
place new cover on the tank of
3/16 gauge steel at cost of
81, 1925.
Members of the board of public
affairs said that the old cover
had been picked up 20 years ago
after it had been discarded by a
