Big Rainbow Carries Top Prize In Derby
Anglers Toe Mark
For Trout Derby
Opener Sunday
More than $50 Trout
Are Tagged For Special
Prizes In Event

With the 500 cash prize riding this
year on hungry rainbow trout in
stead of the more wary pickerel, local
sportsmen feel certain that some
lucky angler will leave the Buckeye
quarry lake with the century note in
his jeans next Sunday when the
annual Trout Derby officially gets
underway.
Because the general feeling is so
strong that. the Number 1 trout will
be landed early in the contest, even
the Is minute head start given the
youngsters has been eliminated. When
the opening bomb explodes Sunday
afternoon at 200, it will be every
man and boy for himself as baited
hooks comb the quarry in search for
the prize fish.
Trout Arrive Tonight
Although the lake will abound with
big Sandusky Bay pickerel and
perch from the Raisin river in Michi-
gan, it will be 800 fighting rainbows
most sought for Sunday afternoon.
Only the trout-153 of them-will
carry prize tags in this years sum-
mer-long derby. They are to be
stocked late tonight, Thursday, upon
arrival here from the trout farm at
Castalia, Ohio.
Two loads of pickerel and load of
perch have already been divided be-
tween the Buckeye quarry and the
Waterworks quarry lakes by the
Community Sportsmen's club. An
other load or two of pickerel are due
here before the derby opening.
Derby Opens at 200 p. m.
The annual derby which brings
sportsmen here from a wide area is
again expected to line the Buckeye
quarry banks by the time the open
ing bomb is fired by the Bluffton
fire department at p. m. Half an
hour earlier Maurice Fett, represent
ing the club, will distribute 100 free
bamboo poles equipped with hook,
line and sinker to the first young
sters lining up at the lake with an
adult.
A second bomb will be fired during
the afternoon if the Number 1 Trout
is caught, and the close of the open
ing days activity will be signaled at
4:30 by the firing of another bomb.
If the top prize trout is not caught by
4:30, the prize drops from $100 to $75
until midnight Monday. 1t will be

Lima Firm Awarded
$685. 100 Contract
Engineering Fees Will
Bring Total Cost OF
Pool To $65,000

Although only single bid was re-
ceived, and it in excess of the engi-
neer's estimates, Bluffton village
council decided Tuesday evening to
proceed with concrete swimming
pool and awarded the contract to The
Green & Sawyer Company, Lima, on
d bid of $59,10O for the pool without
a bath house.
Members of the village recreation
commission joined council in recon-
mending that the lone bid be accept
ed, reasoning that readvertising for
bids would only delay the construction
and likely result in higher prices.
Seven or eight other contractors
had taken plans and specifications on
the project, but failed to file bids.
No bids were received on steel or
aluminium construction although
several firms had indicated an inter
est.
Steel Pool Costs Higher
Mr.. Green of the Lima contracting
firm estimated that if he had sub
mitted an alternate for steel construc-
ton the cost would have been approx
mately $1,000 higher.
Work on excavation of the site at
the Buckeye Quarry park will begin
next week, Mr.. Green promised.
Several hours were spent in de-
liberating the matter of accepting
the Lima firms bid. With engineering
fees, the total cost of the project will
amount to approximately $4,000.
Council has $4,000 from the sale of
the swimming pool bonds. There is
approximately $4,000 more available
in fund raised by various commune
ty organizations.
Will Seek Gifts
In recommending approval of the
bid, the recreation commission told
council it would undertake a cam
paign to raise part of the $4,000 re-
mainder from contributions by indi-
viduals and organizations in and out
side the corporation limits, who had
indicated they would be willing to
further help finance the pool. This
effort will be backed up by funds
available to council in its public i'm
provement fund.
DR.. B. w. Travis acted as chair
man of the recreation commission in
the absence of Paul Diller. He said
that the recommendation for approx
ing the contract was unanimous.
'It looks like now or never, if we
are to have municipal pool in Bluff
ton,' DR.. Travis said.
Councilman Gerald Swank said
that he was pleased that the action
was taken instead of delaying the
matter until it may cost two or three
times as much as happened in the
matter of the sewage disposal plant.
The alternate bid submitted by the
contractor provided a charge of
$4,000 for construction of the pro-
posed bath house. The present plan
calls only for toilet rooms and shelter
for the ticket seller at the pool.
Part of the breakdown on the pool
costs was as follows: concrete pool,
$4,000; wading pool, $1,000; toilet
rooms, $500; filter building, $4,000;
filter equipment, $4,000; piping and
plumbing, s13,500; fencing, $1,000;
electrical, $1,000.

several dance floors, eating places,
a theatre, etc. Its passengers
seemed all nice people who in

cruise was comfortably enjoyable.
Taxi drivers here are liberal
with good advice, warning us Of

year forest fire burned over siS
counties in Wisconsin and killed
1852 people, so the Chicago fire
was the lesser of the two. Seventy

TENTING AREA
MADE READY
State Highway Dept. Com
pletes Plans for Area
Along Atlantic Ocean
CAPACITY USE SEEN

The State Highway Department
has completed plans for making
the tenting area, along the At
lantic Ocean in lower Sussex
County. a real recreation area for
use of the public during the COM
ing summer season.
r. A. Haber, Chief Engineer of
the Department, has announced
that the tenting area is now
ready for use and that it will be
in better shape than in previous
years.
Supervision of the tenting area
is under the direction of George
II. Tunison, Division Engineer for
Sussex County, and he has ap-
pointed o. D. zackarias to serve
as manager of the area.
The tenting area is located in
The vicinity of Indian River Inlet
and can be reached along State
Route IA. One section is locat-
ed just north of the Inlet and the
other sections are just south of
the Inlet.
An Office for the personnel in
charge of the rental spaces in the
tenting area is located just north
of the trailer park at Indian Riv-
er Inlet.
