Naturalization OF Suez Canal Good
For Middle East, Arab Student Believes

a portion of this surplus in continuing
the development of the canal, and the
balance in carrying out much needed
economic projects, this should be a
qualification to all who seek peace
and prosperity for the Middle East. ;"
Ike, as Qutub is known to his
friends, holds that Egypt has no in
tention of increasing current shipping
rates, since it is the government S
plan to stimulate rather than restrict
the canal traffic.
The action of Egypt is of concern to
all Arab countyies, he points out
but opinions and ideas which concern
Egypt's prosperity and for peaceful
settlement are welcomed from the
Western powers.
"The Arab people have had enough
troubles during the Turkish rule and
during the recent crises in Jordan.
They do not want war. They want
peace and security. The U. S. and
other Western world powers will have
the friendship of the Arabs, if they
will regard them as progressive
nations eager for freedom n q
peace" Qutub firmly believes.

Prospects Good
For jefferson St.
Repaving, Widening

Prospects of widening and resurfac-
ing State Route 103, or Jefferson
avenue as it is known, inside the
village limits appear to be excellent
for next year, Mayor David L. Risser
told members of village council Tues
day evening.
Mayor Riser last week conferred
with Division Engineer Neidhardt of
the State Highway Department and
other division officials on the Route
103 improvement.
"They seemed favorable to the pro-
iect, and felt that Buttons share
of the cost would be within reach of
the village pocketbook," Mayor Ris-
ser reported. He said the village
would be expected to pay only five
per cent of the cost.
Bluffton is accommodating fund now
for such work out of state gasoline
tax money earmarked for this pur-
pose only.
In addition to paying five per cent
of the contract cost, Bluffton would
be expected to move water lines
which might interfere with the WIDEN
ing.

Mrs. Bennett Takes
Teaching Post

The final teacher vacancy in Bluff
ton schools was filled at a special
meeting of the board of education
Tuesday evening when Mrs. Theola
Bennett accepted an eight-month
contract to teach high school girls
physical education and health be-
ginning October 1.
A former Bluffton teacher, Mrs.

also be assigned other classes in
addition to physical education and
health.
In other action, the school board
placed an order for a carload of
coal from Ed Good, Bluffton dealer.
