HOLLYWOOD REPORT
A Rival for Como

Autry, having lost Wrigley as the sponsor for
his radio series, is buckling down to business
for his TV show. He'll shoot them on his ranch
near Newhall and is building train there, plus
a recreation of early California. And he'll be
giving Walt Disney some competition next year
when he opens the whole shebang to the public
who will learn how teleflms are made.
Jack Webb, very popular in England
Dragnet is the top-rated show there, has been
invited to appear at the London Palladium And
he plans to accept next spring. Which re-
minds me- John Derek of the blue eyes and long
black lashes is of to Britain to star In swash-
buckling TV series.
Isn't it odd that not one Of the big TV
stars has been offered a movie to make during
the summer hiatus? And this list of omissions
includes Jackie Gleason, Perry Como and Phil
Silvers It could be that the last film efforts OF
video favorites Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Liberace
and Eve Arden failed to amuse their nom
paying public.

The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-08-16
First Public kindergarten Preceded
By Private Classes For Il Years

When Bluffton schools open this
community's first public kindergar-
ten, the teacher in charge of the
tiniest tots will be Miss Margaret
Groman, who came up through the
local school system herself
After graduating from Bluffton high
school and Bluffton college, she took
graduate work in Kindergarten
courses at Ohio State. In accepting
the post here, she gave up her former
post at the Longfellow and Jefferson
schools in Lima. Prior to two years
there, she also taught for six months
in the Wapakoneta kindergarten.
The Bluffton beginners will be
divided into afternoon and morning
sections, attending only the custom
ary half day. Parents will be advised
soon as to which section their child
will be assigned
Arrangements have been made by
the school board to transport rural
children either to kindergarten in the
morning or from kindergarten in the
afternoon, but it will not be possible
to run a special noon hour bus. Bus
service for kindergarten children is
an accommodation and not required by
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-08-16

law.
While this will be the community's
first public classes preparatory to the
first grade, private kindergartens had
their beginnings here 21 years ago
when the school board authorized use
of room for that purpose. First
instructor was Mrs. ROLAND RAIDER,
Toledo, the former Marilyn Holmden,
daughter of Mrs. Lena Dillman or
N. Jackson street.
The year was 1895. Only equipment
was a piano, chairs and supply of
paper furnished by the board. The
instructor received fifty cents per
week for each child From this she
purchased other necessary materials.
In 1912 Miss Mary Sypos, religious
education instructor, taught a morn
ing kindergarten class for two years.
At the conclusion of these classes,
Mrs w. A. Howe, of Spring street,
conducted morning class which she
has continued until at present. For
the last five years Mrs. Walter Gratz
also thaught an afternoon class. Both
of these were transferred to private
homes while the new building was
being erected.
