Dershem Resigns;
Settles Hospital
Firing Dispute

The controversial dispute which
arose over the firing of Byron H.
Dershem, Cherry street, unopposed
Democratic candidate for the office
of Allen county treasurer, from his
job as guard-attendant at the Lima
State hospital was ended last week
when Dershem resigned.
Dershem was fired twice in a per-
iod of one month by Superintendent
R. E. Bushong on the grounds that
Ohio law prohibited a civil service
employee from holding political off
ice.
The Ohio Civil Service Commission
ruled the firing invalid because Der
shem was not given sufficient time in
which to state his case. Despite the
ruling, Bushong fired Dershem again
March IA
Following the second dismissal
union employees at the hospital elect
ed to back Dershem in his fight
against the discharge. They were in
agreement with Dershem's contention
that other hospital employees had re-
tanned their jobs at the hospital.
Both sides in the dispute agreed
on the resignation.

Urge Red Cross
Donations Here

An appeal was made here this week
by Ed Rice, chairman of the Bluffton
Red Cross fund campaign drive, urg-
ing residents to take a membership
in the 1856 drive which ends Satur-
day.
A total of $500 has been received
in membership pledges to date Rice
said. The quota for Bluffton has been
set at $1,000. A large share of this
total was raised by the house-to-
house canvass made by members of
the American Legion Auxiliary.
In making the appeal Rice stated
that the money was urgently needed
on both national and local levels. The
national funds were depleted greatly
with the recent disastrous floods in
the eastern and western sections of
the country.
Part of the contributions are
turned over to the national fund and
the rest remains in the county for
local use, Rice said.
Any one wishing to contribute may
turn the money in at the Rice Dry
Goods Shop through Saturday, it was
pointed out.

Lehman BOwing Out Of Public School
Music After Eight Years TEAM Successes

The addition of five more superior
ratings in last Saturdays District
high school music competition
brought to 48 the number of top
honors won by Bluffton high school
music students under the direction
of Earl Lehman. Mr.. Lehman will
take to the podium to direct his high
school musicians in mixed chorus,
girls and boys glee, band and
orchestra for the last time in the
state finals April % at Capital uni
versity, Columbus.
The success secrets" which have
made him one of the most outstand-
ing school music instructors in Ohio
will be passed on to prospective
teachers beginning next fall when
Mr.. Lehman takes up full time duties
in the music department at Bluffton
college. This closes his eighth year
as director at the high school.
During his eight-year tenure at
the high school local musicians have
captured superior ratings every year
in state competition in mixed chorus,
girls and boys glee club and or
chestra. Only in band, which is not
given the special attention here that
it gets in many schools, have state
honors not been achieved. However,
the band has captured number one
ratings each year in the district
festival.
Bluffton's orchestra was the only
one entered in CT judging at the
festival held hereer Saturday. The
reason is that Mr.. Lehman prefers
a well-rounded musical program as
opposed to the specialization given
in many schools.
Much of the credit for the success
in music at the school is modestly

Annexation OF
Area West OF Town
Is Suggested

Annexation of properties along the
Bentley road across from the Bluffton
college campus including the Harvey
Gratz and Schumacher subdivisions
was suggested Tuesday evening at
Bluffton council meeting as a possible
solution to a sewer and water prob
lem confronting home builders in that
area.
The suggestion was made to John
Klay, Bluffton builder, and his asso-
ciates, Bob Which and Keith Kirkland,
who appeared before council to ascer-
tain what might be done about pro-
viding sewers for homes proposed in
the Gratz subdivision.
Mr.. Klay inquired what would be
involved in connecting a covered
drainage ditch running across the
Gratz property into the village inter-
ceptor near the M. NJ. Triplett prop
erty at the corner of Grove and Bent
ley road.
In addition to laying tha connecting
line, fee Of $500 for each property
tapping it would be scharged, the
builder was advised. This is in con-
formance with regulation providing
the $500 fee for persons outside the
corporation tapping the village sewer
system.
Councilman Francis Reichenbach
suggested that the practical answer
might be annexation of the area to
Bluffton. This would eliminate the
need for payment of the $500 sewer
tapping fee, 1t was pointed out, how
ever, that the section would have to
be instituted by the property owners
rather than by the village.
Mayor David L. Riser, however,
pointed out that the village could not
accept any new area or subdivision
unless streets and sewers were al
ready constructed at the property
owners expense.
In addition to enjoying the use of
the village sewage disposal system
and village water, fire insurance rates
would be lower inside the corporation
limits, it was pointed out.

Village Buys Own
Swim Pool Bonds

In formal action Tuesday evening
Bluffton council sold its $4,000 issue
of swimming pool bonds to itself,
thus saving a considerable amount
in interest.
From a legal standpoint, however,
the village will pay two per cent
interest on the bonds which are being
purchased by newly organized
Treasury Investment Board consisting
of the mayor, clerk and solicitor. In
terest proceeds will then be turned
over to the permanent improvement
fund
Solicitor John Romey attended the
meeting and set up the legislative
procedure.

Taking the blame for a misunder-
standing in regard to laying new
15-inch sewer extension along East
Jefferson avenue TO serve the Ex-
Cello plant, H. U. Tuttle, Lima
building contractor on the job, told
Bluffton council Tuesday evening he
guessed he jumped the gun" in
ordering the sewer constructed be-
fore approval by council.
Tuttle attended the meeting in the
company of half dozen top execu-
tives of Ex-Cell-O. All expressed
concern that the sewer matter had
been misunderstood, and was not
brought before council in customary
procedure.
Charles Benker, who handled nego-
tiations for the site purchased by
Ex-Cell-O, said that he had under
stood that water and sewer facilities
were in the street at the property
line, or would be brought to the line
by the village. He said he hoped
council would excuse the contractors
haste in getting the building up as
quickly as possible.
Councilman Gerald Swank explain
ed that the village is required by
law to advertise for competitive bids
for work of this kind, and that
council was surprised to learn that
the work had already been done and
that bill would be forthcoming.
Councilman Francis Reichenbach,
who previously objected strongly to
the company's procedure, pointed out
that the school board had recently
extended a new sewer line for the
elementary school building at its
own expense.
Members of council, however, ap-
peared generally in agreement that
a request for the Ex-Cell-O sewer
extension would have been granted
had proper application been made.
Several stated they wished to CO.
operate with the new industry in
any reasonable manner.
Thus far the exact cost of the
sewer extension has not been ascer-
tanned. Ex-Cell-O was directed to

Dogs Must Be Kept

Warns Pet Owners

Bluffton dog owners were reminded
this week of state law providing
that their pets must be confined to
their premises and are allowed on
the public streets only when on a
leash.
Mayor David L. Riser said that
he had received numerous complaints
from Bluffton residents that dogs
running at large have become a nuis-
ance. Owners of such animals are
subject to a $25 fine, the mayor
said.
Unless the condition improves, it
will be necessary to call the dog
warden and nave all dogs running
loose picked up and taken to the
county pound.
