that July 1 has been set tentative
ly as the building completion date. A
fabricated parts operation now car
ried on at Lima will be moved into the
new plant.
Buttons newest industry will be
located at the northwest corner of the
county line road and Jefferson street,
or State Route 103. The site is
being acquired from Ezra Basinger.
The site fronts 485 feet on the
County Line road and jefferson
street, or State Route 103. The site is
more than 500 feet to the Nickel Plate
railroad. Along the jefferson street
side, the Ex-Cell-O property circum-
vents two lots owned by Norman Ed
niger and the Basinger home.
Fronts On Jefferson Street
Office entrance of the one-foor
factory building will be on Jefferson
street, and a large parking space for
employees autos is planned on the west
side of the building to be entered
from the same street.
The sheet metal operation, general
ly described as slight industry, and
the attractive plant planned to house
it should be community asset, Off
cials of the company said There will
be no smoke or dirt, and no excessive
noise.
Contract for erection of the new
plant has been let to H. U. Tuttle &
Sons, Inc, Lima. Of steel and mason
ry construction, it will be 200 x 240
feet with two sections equipped for
cranes.
To Employ $50 Men
When the plant reaches full pro-
duction, it is estimated that $50 men
will be employed. Only skilled male
labor will be used with the exception
of office personnel.
Bluffton was selected as the "home"
of the new plant, Mr.. Jones said, be-
cause of the proximity to Lima, avail
ability of labor and transportation
facilities.
"The helpful cooperation of the
Bluffton Industrial Expansion Co.
and the industrial expansion commit
tee of the Business Mems association
during the site survey was a factor
in the decision," Mr.. Jones said.
Community interest and receptivity
toward new industry is important"
Representing the company in the
Bluffton site acquisition was Charles
Benker, one of the founders of the
company. Mr.. Benker was one of
group of former Ford Motor Com
pany employees who organized Ex-
Cello-O in Detroit in 1919. The firm
has always manufactured precision
parts. One division produces equip
ment for Dairy packaging, and
another manufactures a line of ma
chine tools.
The production of component parts
for jet engines is one of the Lima
plants principal jobs.
In the parts fabrication operation,
heavy gauge metal is fabricated into
bases for various products of the COM
pany including grinding machines.
The new Bluffton plant will be un-
der the general management of Mr..
Jones, who is also in charge of plants
in Lima, Fostoria and new one in
Elwood, Indiana.

Good Plans
Prevent Fire,
Howe Says

Fire prevention begins on the
drafting boards of responsible,
qualified architects, Charles H.
Howe, Jr., fire marshall for Mont
gomery County, told members of
the Potomac Valley Chapter of
Maryland, American Institute of
Architects, at its March meeting
held recently at the Colesville
Hot Shoppe, Silver Spring.
Mr.. Howe and Lawrence r.
Wolff, fire marshall of Prince
Georges County, principal speak
ers at the luncheon, credited the
architects with preventing the
loss of lives and property through
their designs Of non-combustible
buildings with safety and proper
escape features.
Both fire prevention experts ex.
pressed themselves at being re.
lieved at the steady replacement
of temporary school buildings of
frame construction in both coun-
ties.
Each fire marshall is handi-
capped by a lack Of fire inspec-
tors, it was revealed. Fire Mar
shall Howe has three inspectors
but needs six for adequate fire
prevention inspections in Mont
gomery County.
Mr.. Howe said copies of new
building permits with the excep-
tons of those for residences were
now being received by his office
for a conformance check with the
fire code and regulations. Dis
cussion of architects brought out
the fact that an introduction of
such a safety feature as an exit
not required by the building in
spector resulted, under fire regu-
lations, in the added expense Of
panic hardware.
Benjamin p. Elliott, vice.presi-
dent, presiding in the absence of

stitute of Architects had awarded

Butler Promises Support
For 'Pay-as-Go' Roads

tween individual citizens.
1t is gratifying to note that our
great trucking industry recently
to the ways and means
committee Of the House of Rep
resentatives a willingness to as
sumo an equitable share of the
costs of highways.
Some states, Maryland among
them, have already exceeded 9th.
ers in their expenditures for
roads, and this situation suggests
the balancing need for some
sort of overall guidance and lead
erShip from the national level. 1t
suggests also the possibility that
federal funds in a few states
might exceed those in other stat
es and that any fair formula for
apportioning federal money
among the states, must be de-
veloped in terms of need in re-
moving serious "bottlenecks," fl
nancial or otherwise.
1t shall be my purpose to sup
port a "pay-as-you-go" road bill
which gives the motorist value
received for his or her tax dollar
in the form of new, improved and
safer highways. ! shall oppose,
however, any scheme for the en-
largement of federal jurisdiction
at a point where the states them
selves have most vital control
and interest.

BY Sen. John Marshall Butler

1t is my firm belief that a
wholly acceptable highway bill
will be adopted during the present
session of Congress. No far
sighted public official would ques-
ton the absolute necessity for an
improved, modern network of ma.
tional highways, not only to ac-
conmodate the eVer-increasing
number of automobiles but also
to serve our defense forces as
well as our farm.to-market sys-
tenn.
Few people would bubble with
President Eisenhower's urging
that the planning and engineer
ing of such a vast project must be
accomplished on a coordinated
basis without the confusion and
waste of a piecemeal approach.
Any program, however, to at
tain this essential objective,
which would violate sound financ-
ing principles, defy budgetary
control, and evade the federal
debt limit, in my opinion, does
not constitute reasonable, nor
realistic, solution to the critical
road problem.
just as we operate in our per-
sonal day.to-day and year.to-year
activities, any national undertak.
ing of this magnitude must be on
"pay-as-you-go" basis, and for
tunately for the solvency of our
nation, there is now much agree
ment on this point. This program
must come within the reasonable
bounds of sound financing and
must conform with the normal
concepts Of separate responsible
ties between the az States and be-

MiIk-SelIing
Farms Drop,
Report Says

The number of United States
farms selling milk is declining,
reports DR.. Ray A. Murray, Uni
versity of Maryland agricultural
economist. Yet total milk sales
have reached a new record high,
as sales per farm rapidly in
crease.
For the country as whole, the
number of farms reporting milk
cows declined 10 percent from
1914 to 1850 and an additional 20
percent from 1850 to 1854.
Sales of whole milk per farm
averaged $4,000 pounds per farm
for the u. S. as whole in 1854,
an average of 240 pounds per
day. The variation among states
was very wide-from less than
10000 in Tennessee to over 400,-
900 pounds for California and
over 100000 pounds for Florida.
All states showed higher aver
age per-farm production in 1854
than five years earlier, in some
cases more than doubling the
volume.
Part of this increased volume,
DR.. Murray says, is the result
of rising production per COW. The
rest is due to larger numbers Of
cows per farm. The gain in av-
erage rate of production per cow
between one and two percent
each year over the past Is years
reflects improved quality of
cows and better feeding and man.
