PANEL: To break the lines
of a sheath, the floating, fly
ing or draped panel is a fashion
device favored by many de-
Signers for fall, 1856.
Straight-hanging panels fall
from the back, from a high
waistline and sometimes from
the shoulder to add grace in
motion. elegance in repose.
Panels are sometimes multi
purpose-they drape over the
shoulders to form a stole, or
twist round the neck in a
halter effect. Some are caught
just below the waistline for a
smart. bloused effect.

Pre-EIectiOn Poll
Hits Presidential
Results Within 900

Again with accuracy of within four
per cent, the Bluffton college student
poll of the villages voters sampled
the voting on a presidential election.
The village actually went stronger
for Ike than had been predicted. Vot-
ers gave him an 80 per cent majority
as compared with the prediction of
76 per cent.
Support of O'Neill for governor was
also stronger than the poll indicated.
The sample showed 81 per cent fav-
oring the Republican when the actual
vote gave him 72 per cent. Appar-
emily large number of undecided
voters turned in the last minute to
O'Neill. The poll indicated that II per
cent had not made up their minds
Monday of last week.
The Bender-Lausche outcome was
predicted within Z per cent The poll
showed Bender with a margin of AZ
per cent and nine per cent of unde-
cided voters. Actually, he received
81 per cent of the Bluffton vote. Most
of the undecided voters must have
again swung Republican.

Pirates Seek Loop Title At Forest;
Undefedted Beavers Off To Kentucku

Will the high school Pirates bring
home Northwestern Conference
football championship from Forest
Friday night?
Will the Beavers complete the sea-
son as the only undefeated college
team in Ohio and one of two dozen
in the U. S. after their set-to with the
Centre College Colonels Saturday at
Danville, KY?
These are the important questions
loc sports prognosticators are
answering in the affirmative this
week as the curtain comes down on
the best high school and college sea-
sons Bluffton has witnessed in many
a year
Forest No Push-Over
While the Forest record in the con-
ference of only two wins in six starts
does not seem impressive and the
Pirates are a he d-and-shoulder
favorite over their opponents, Coach
Pete Schmidt has been viewing it as
an even-Stephen affair all week.
The smallest man on the Forest
backfield is 155-pound Dick Flowers,
the fullback, while Big Jim Jefferson,
one of the running backs, tips the
beam at 215, and Don Lease, another
half, weighs in at 185. The line will
not measure up to last weeks Wapak
brick wall, but it won't be easy to
break through, Schmidt tells his boys.
'The morale on the Pirate practice
field and in the locker room has been
at a high point all week. The kids
were never in a better frame of mind
for winning" Schmidt confides.
1t appears that Bob Logan will still
be on the bench for the Pirates, but
Gordon Mathewson should see SER
vice Friday night.

majorities in the balloting, and not
a single Democratic aspirant to of
fee was able to claim the edge on
the local balloting.
c. William O'Neill polled almost as
many votes in Bluffton for governor
of Ohio as did the country's chief ex-
ecutive. He piled up 82S votes to
Michael v. DiSalle's 315. ALI other
Republican candidates on the state
ticket were favored over their oppo-
nents by voters of this town.
Even the generally popular Gov
ernor Lausche, making his bid for a
seat in the U. S. Senate, failed to
meet the vote of his Republican OPP
ponent, George H. Bender. Blufton
gave Bender 631 votes to Lausche's
SIS.
The 1,191 votes cast Tuesday COM
pare to 1,245 in the 1852 election
when an all-time record was set. Tt
is also short of the voting in the 194O
election, previous high, when 1,234
ballots were counted in the local pre-
cincts. In an off-year election last
November the vote was 249 less. On
ly 933 ballots were cast when town
officials were chosen.
The Republican landslide again
piled up one-sided majorities for the
C. o. P. candidates in Richland
townships two precincts and Beaver
dam, territory which not too many
years ago was staunchly Democratic
in its political faith.
Bluffton electors and those in the
adjoining Richland township and
Beaverdam precincts gave strong
support to the bonus proposal for vet
erans of the Korean conflict, and also
approved making the terms of state
senators four instead of three years.
Bluffton voters approved the bonus
745 to 248, while the longer terms for
state senators were endorsed 63O
"for" as compared to 2S7 against.

Seek Change In
Gas Go. Policy
On Meter Location

Petitions were being circulated
among Bluffton citizens this week
asking that village council take steps
seeking change of policy by the
West Ohio Gas company in the loca-
ton of its gas meters on the resident
ial properties it serves in this COM
munity.
Maurice Fett, one of the circulators
of the petition, said that it will be
presented to council at its next
regular meeting Tuesday evening,
November IL. Mr.. Fett declared that
the company's present policy of
locating the meters along the side
walk line of residential properties
creates an eyesore.
In addition to asking that outdoor
meters be moved from the sidewalk
line to the foundation wall of the
house, the petition also asks that
council seek the relocation of base
ment meters outside the houses along
the foundation walls.
This would make it possible for
the meter readers to check their
meters without tracking through the
house and should shorten the time
required, yet the meters can easily
be hidden from public view by
foundation paintings Mr.. Fett said
Persons interested in seeking this
change should attend the meeting
when the petition is presented to
council, the circulators emphasize.

Poultry Prices
Fall To New Low

New low prices on poultry the past
week were bringing EXPLANATIONS oi
delight from local housewives, but
poultrymen were wringing their
hands in despair at fryers over the
retailers counter bringing only 20
cents per pound.
The same type birds were bringing
35 cents per pound year ago and
SIS cents three years ago.
Clayton Harkness of Farmers Pro
duce Co., Bluffton poultry buyer, said
that the consumer is getting the bar
gain of a lifetime, but the low prices
are costing the producer.
Its matter of oversupply', he
pointed out. Chicken production is up
20 per cent over last year, and this
year is the second largest ever re-
corded. The largest year was about
four years ago.
Of the 20 cents a pound the con-

councilman and builder, for the
duration of his term on council; and
Mayor Riser, who is a member ex-
officio.
One of the first matters expected to
come before the commission win be
recommendations for setting up a
system of building permits by which
the village will be given a closer con-
tact with new building and remodel
ing work. Later supervision will pro-
baby be exercised to see that devel-
opment is according to village regu-
lations.
Allen county officials have been in
sisting that Bluffton adopt some
method of issuing building permits in
order to keep tax officials advised
of real estate Improvements.
Another matter the planning board
may yet act upon is the approval or
rejection of development plan includ-
ing one for the Eastland corporation
now before council. A public hearing
was held Tuesday evening on a pro-
posal for abandoning certain paper"
streets and alleys in the Sunny Acres
subdivision and for accepting a new
