The Constitution is Your Bus
mess" was realistically brought
home to members of London Bus
iness and Professional Women's
Club by Ed Chapman, Ohio Bell
Telephone Company, Columbus, at
a dinner meeting at the Coover
Club House, Monday evening.
The speaker, whose. vocation is
Public Relations for the Ohio Bell,
from the tone of his excellent
speech on the Constitution, and
what it means not only to this
country but to the world, apparent
ly does much and heavy reading
in pursuing what he chooses to
term his "sub-hobby".
He first of all paid great tribute
TO the Founding Fathers" of the
nation for their wisdom and fore
sight in setting up an article of
government which assures individ-
ual liberty because of limitations
placed upon said government. Be-
cause of this type of government
which allows that liberty, the us.
is the only hope of the world he
stated and he warned against
American complacency; that
Americans must preserve their in
dependence and solvency of the
country. In 1776 the Constitution
of the United States was drawn up
as an implement to govern which
was subservient to men. This Con-
stitution, he stated is naturally
Communism's greatest Illustration,
because of its counter belief that
all are subservient to government.
Conclusion of the revealing and
ght-provoking talk was greet
ed with a burst of appreciation
from the club members.

Quoted by Miss Catherine Ben
janin, Club president, there was
much to be considered. First came

Bluffton household appliance deal
ers have been doing a good job of
selling and servicing their local
market, according to a survey COM
pleted this spring by Bluffton col
lege students in DIR. Howard Raids
department of business administra-
ton.
The survey indicated that approx
imately 72 per cent of all appliances
in use in the community were sold
by the local dealers. Almost all
owners are well pleased with the
service their equipment is giving.
at is interesting to note that fer
all appliances the average was 97.15
per cent satisfactory service. This
would seem to indicate that Bluffton
residents are getting good service
from their appliances and the deal
ers," DR.. Raid commented in sum
marizing the survey.
Of the % per cent of appliances
not sold by local dealers 40 per cent
were purchased in Findlay, 1871 per
cent in Lima and 5 per cent in all
other places. According to the claw
of retail gravitation" it would ap-
pear that Bluffton merchants are
doing a good job of selling locally,
DIR. Raid said. Bluffton merchants,
at the same time, make many sales
to residents of other outlying com
munities.

was the revelation that about 10
per cent of the residents of Bluffton
