Porch Lights Go On TOnite
To Welcome Polio Workers

Bluffton porch lights will CLEAN
brightly tonight as an invitation tc
the volunteer solicitors of the Lions
club conducting their annual Porchlite
Mite drive for the March of Dimes.
Porchlite Mite, when the local polio
drive hits its peak, is expected to
yield $500 or 5000 toward Buttons
March of Dimes contribution.
Harold Klingler, chairman of the
Porchlite Mite drive, asked all per-
sons who have a contribution for the
polio fund to leave their porch light
burning during the early part of the
evening. 1t is expected the drive will
begin about $50 p. m. and continue
for two hours.
Polio "isn't licked yet" local March
of Dimes chairman Gerald Swank
pointed out this week as he said local
collections are tagging behind last
years fund. Swank emphasized that
the Salk vaccine, which has proved
helpful over the past two years, still
has not been distributed to many
persons.
Blue Krutch day, already once
postponed, will probably be cancelled
this year because no organization
willing to handle the collections has
been found. Chairman Garnette Foltz

Progress Assn
Has It's OlUn Problem,

Bluffton's Community Progress
association, which is mustered
to action only when there is a
town-wide civic puzzle to solve,
appeared overdue for reorganiza-
ton this week when the United
Fund question was tossed to it
by the Girl Scouts.
The question this week is, how
will the reorganization take and
who will call the group into ses-
sion? An unusual situation
leaves The organization with only
one officer-Mrs. Robert Simcox
who was chosen secretary, but
never given any books or records.
Last year at time for re-
organization James West, who
was elected chairman of the
executive committee, resigned the
post. Then Vice President Harry
Bogart also declared that he
could not accept the office and
resigned. This left Mrs. Simcox
the only officer.
How the association, which has
proved a powerful asset on num-
erous civic projects, can be raj
lied into action or the new prob
lem was the question of the
week.

Three Women Toss BonnetS Into Ring
AS Candidates For Village Offices

For the first time in the history oi
Bluffton municipal politics there will
be a lady's bonnet in the ring for vii
lage office. In fact three women are
candidates on the two party tickets
which are being completed this week
by Republican and Democratic or
ganiZations.
The Republicans have obtained the
consent of Mrs. Stella Lauriat to
place her name on the nominating
petitions as a candidate for village
council.
Democrats have followed suit in
placing in domination Mrs. Helen
Tschantz for seat on council, and
went a step further in naming Mrs.
Juanita Swank as their candidate for
village treasurer.
Interest of women in local munich
pal affairs has been on the increase,
and such organizations as the Busi-
ness and Professional Womens club
have been encouraging the women to
take over government responsible
ties.
With the deadline for filing nomi-
mating petitions February 6, neither
Republicans nor Democrats were yet
prepared with complete ticket, al
though they were shaping up follow
- 0ar1xy fhic uypply
The Republicans, following their
Monday evening caucus, had the
most complete ticket. They were still
seeking a candidate for mayor. Coun-
Gilman Ed Rice has been asked to
head the ticket, but he had not given
his consent up until press time We'd
nesday.
Republican candidates for village
council, in addition to Mrs. Laurlat,
include incumbents Wilbur Amstutz
and Charles Hankish, Jr. Others
making up the slate for the six-mem-
Der board are Ed Chamberlain,
Charles Alderman and John Kay.
The caucus also voted to include
on the Republican ticket, Harold Bal
mer for reelection as treasurer and
A. J. B. Longsdorf for reelection as
village clerk. Candidates for the
board of public affairs includes in
cumbents Harvey Bauman and Clay
ton Hardness. The third candidate is
Don Ream.
Although the Democratic caucus
ended Tuesday night also without
candidate for mayor, the party lead
ers are still insisting that incumbent
Mayor David Riser will say "yes"

Repairs On DOwned
Aircraft Await
Insurance Report

Repair work on the Piper Apache
which made forced landing during
a severe snoWstorm last month near
Bluffton is being held up while in
surance negotiations are being con-
Quoted airport manager Harold Carey
said Monday.
It has not been decided whether to
Junk the plane, put it in flying order,
or repair it completely at the local
airport. If it is decided to repair the
plane elsewhere it probably will be
put in flying condition and ferried
from the local airport Carey said.
Both propelIors were badly bent,
and the underside of the fuselage,
nose and right wingtip were ripped
when the plane made its wheels-up
landing on the Amos Klingler farm
January 8.
Nearly two days work were neces-
sary to remove the plane from the
15-acre clearing where It landed at
the north end of Klingler's property
A 4O-foot wide path from the clear
ing to the Airport road had to be
opened before the craft could be
moved from the clearing. Using
power saws and the tractors of John
Warren and Harry Anderson a num-
Der of small trees were grubbed out
and two fences were opened two
days after the accident.
The plane was then lacked up and
a rectangular skid placed beneath its
undercarriage. Using both tractors
the plane was sledded out to Airport
road and then moved one-quarter
mile northward to the local airport.
The moving operation itself required
about two and a half hours, Carey
said.
The plane came down in the tree
bordered clearing just after dusk on
January s. 1t hit the earth just be-
yond the Warren ditch and skidded
northward for about 500 feet. Al
though there were a number of small
trees in the clearing the pilot
missed the large woods lying north
and east of the open space.
Two persons were injured when the
plane, attempting to reach clearer
weather 40 miles north of here, was
forcad to tha ground bv had weather
and low fuel supply. John Rogers,
pilot of the Ft Wayne-bound aircraft
stated at the time he was not aware
he was near the local airport.

Girl Scouts Ask Progress Association
To Consider United Fund Drive Locally

In move calculated to bring
establishment of a United Fund cam
paign in Bluffton this year, instead
of contending with continuation of
series of individual financial
solicitations, the Bluffton Girl Scout
Neighborhood council Tuesday night
threw the ball to the Community
Progress association in recommend
ing immediate action in inaugurating
single local campaign.
Pointing out that there has been a
lot of discussion locally about the
merit of a United drive but that SO
far nothing has been done leading to
its becoming reality, the Girl Scout
governing association came to the
conclusion that the matter was one
which fell within the jurisdiction of
the Progress association.
Recommending that the Progress
group set in motion machinery which
could lead to the creation of United
Fund drive, the council is asking that
steps be taken Immediately so that
everything can get ready for United
drive here by next fall should it be
approved locally.
Action taken at the Girl Scout
meeting followed report of the sue
cess scored in Ada a town similar in
size to ,Bluffton where United cam
paigning now is in its third year.
In Ada's first United campaign,
the total contributions were greater
than all organizations such as Red
Cross. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Can
Ger committees, etc., had raised in
the preceding year of individual

Girl Scouts Still
Face $3.50 Deficit
In Fund Campaign

How to go about making up a def
cit of $3.50 in Buttons Girl Scout
budget was among matters taken up
for consideration at a meeting OF the
Bluffton Neighborhood Scout council
Tuesday night in the high school IL
brary rooms.
In last falls finance drive Bluffton
residents and industries contributed
only $500 toward a goal of $7l2, 1t
was announced at the meeting by
Arden Baker, who with Don Patter-
son and Byron Anderson, directed the
campaign.
Contributing factors in failure to
reach the quota were believed to be
the fact that a Boy Scout campaign
and Bluffton college finance drive
were held at the same time.
In addition more than 25 per cent
of the solicitors, who were Girl Scout
fathers, failed to cover their assigned
territories, the Neighborhood Council
was told.
Mrs. Robert Barnett presided at
the Council meeting.
