Local March OF Dimes Contributions
Running Behind Pace Set Last Year

Co-chairmen Gerald Swank and
Robert Schumann expressed concern
this week over the tagging contribu-
tons to Bluffton's 1856 March of
Dimes drive.
With the campaign to raise funds
to fight polio a week old today, Thurs
day, a total of $824.10 had been col
lected and banked. This raised doubts
that the drive here would match last
years total of some $4,000.
The total will be swelled when the
$685. which has been collected at four
local business places is added to the
amount already banked, Swank point
ed out. These large contributors were
Swank's Barber Shop, S275; Pine
Restaurant,$217; B & B Bar, $100;
and Charles & Demps, $63.
Buttons annual Porch Light Mite
last Thursday netted collectors from
the Lions Club a total of $453.37.
This figure is reported to be consid-
erably short of that collected in the
drive last year.
Mrs. Hazel McElderry, owner of
the Horseshoe Grill turned over re-
ceipts of $36.20. Mrs. McElderry con-
tributed $40 and the wages of
Charles Meyers, Frank Carley, Nancy
King, Edith Tschantz and Lora Belle
Basinger, totalling $16.20, were added
to that contribution.
School collections according to
Schumann amounted to $197.71 with
the elementary grades contributing
$122.55 and the high school $75.16.
Rural route postal collections brought
in $3.50 and another $41.22 was re-
ceived at the Bluffton Columbus
Grove game Tuesday night.
Other contributors were: Century
Circle, $5; FLA, IS; Mothers Club,
$40; Mothers Mite Out Club, $40;
Progressive Mothers Club, SIS; Alpha
Gamma Club, SIS.

climb from $4,000 to s50,0OO in
1856. The growth is among the most
rapid for towns of this size in the
area.
During his tenure, the status of
Bluffton's postoffice changed from
second-class to first class. Only Lima
and Delphos qualify for this rating
in Allen county in addition to Bluff
ton. Receipts of $4,000 per year are
necessary to qualify.
Ed looked proud as a peacock as
he related that the Bluffton postof-
fee, in his estimation, was one of
the finest in the entire state. The
new office, built in 1899, cost in the
vicinity of 100000 almost $4,000

Postmaster Ed Reichenbdch
Plans Retirement In July

Postmaster Ed Reichenbach, who
in % years of postal service has
seen Bluffton's mail volume more
than double, this week announced he
will retire in July when he becomes
70 years of age.
Ed, who received his first appoint
mept from President Franklin d.
Roosevelt, February Is, 1884, is not
eager to leave the job he has served
faithfully more than two decades, but
retirement at age 20 is compulsory.
Mr.. Reichenbach succeeded M. M.
Murray as postmaster in 1884 when
the tide of politics changed from
Republican to Democratic. He served
two subsequent four-year appoint
ments, and then on July 81, 1912,
the job of postmaster was made a
permanent office by act of Congress.
Twenty-Five years of seeing the
daily mails come and go, and
handling customers at the office
windows have been pleasant duty
for the Bluffton postmaster. 1t has
been difficult to pry him away from
the place even to take vacation.
Last summer he was back on the job
almost a week ahead of schedule
when the fish stopped biting in
Canada.
Even taking day off to nurse a
cold apparently has not been attrac-
tive to Ed. In his % years of service
he has used only 40 hours of pos
sible 1,760 hours of sick leave. He
has always felt that the accumulated
time was good insurance in the event
of serious illness which never came
even up to age 70.
Since taking over as postmaster,
Ed has seen the volume of receipts
