Report Best Opening Day
Hunting Here In 10 Years

Contrary to opening d reports
throughout the state that fewer squir-
rels were bagged than on the first
day last year, local hunters are
claiming one of the best days hunt
ing in the last decade.
Even grey squirrels, not abundant
in this part of the state, were report
ed by four local hunters who took a
total of seven.
Rain the day before made it pos
slble Saturday to stink through the
woods with minimum of noise and
gave the hunter an advantage. But
the wary squirrel had break in the
unusual heavy foliage still on the
trees.
Most of the little animals seemed
to be feeding in the beech trees.
Hickory nuts are not too abundant
although this seems to be second in
food preference for squirrels, with
oak trees offering the least attrac-
tion
Among those who were in the
woods last Saturday and reported to
have bagged their limit of four fox
squirrels are: Oscar Wenger, Bob
Ewing, Floyd Hardwick, Don Geiger,
Jim Klingler, Paul Eikenbarry, Rod
ney Stratton, Roger GoSSard Dale

Community Benefits
By BE Expansion
Says Businessman
Growing College Is A
Growing Economic and Social
Asset To Town

Because the proposed expansion @
facilities at Bluffton college will mos
directly affect the local Bluffton-Pa
dora area from where a large per
centage of Be students come eacf
year, this community will have the
first opportunity to respond to the
College Expansion and Improvement
Fund campaign which opens Octobe,
3.
Dean Niswander, Bluffton business
man and local chairman of the drive
to raise $33O,O0O in the next three
years for college Improvements, ex.
planned this week that the Bluffton.
Pandora phase of the campaign will
be followed Immediately through. the
Alumni association and throughout
the various supporting church in the
next several months.
I'VE felt the drive should start
locally" Mr.. Niswander said, "be-
cause the new addition at Ropp hall,
and other improvements under con-
sideration will most directly affect
this community"
Approximately 40 per cent of the
present student body comes from
within radius of 80 miles of Bluff
ton. The facilities have long been
used most heavily by local families,
but this is only part of what a
growing college will mean here, Mr..
Niswander explained.
The college contributes to the gen.
eral economic welfare of the COM
munity much as would an industry
with an annual payroll of $4,000
This is the amount spent annually in
the college salaries and wages. In
addition another $4,000 is expended
for foods, maintenance materials and
other supplies and services out of the
annual budget of $275, 900. the office
records show.
Another $25,0 900 to $4,000 annually
is spent in the community by students
on clothing, entertainment and miscel-
laneous purchases made in area re-
tail stories, it is estimated.
"A growing, expanding Bluffton
college will be a growing and ever
community asset. Dollars
invested now by the foresighted
people, of the community will be
in many ways. We are hope
sul that the forthcoming drive will
be welcomed with that confidence"
said the local chairman.
