$4,000 Program
Of Township Road
Work Is Planned

Approximately $25,0O0 will be spent
during the. coming summer on town
snip road improvements it appeared
this week after members of the Rich
land township board of trustees con-
ferred with County Engineer Tom
Monahan.
The program outlined for the sum-
mer will include sealing approximate
" 101a miles of roadway with
bituminous material and laying new
mat surface on approximately four
miles of roadway, according to
Robert Neiswander of the township
board.
Due for surface sealing are the
following roads: Lehman road from
Grismore to County line; Putnam
County line, Fett to Bentley road;
Fett road, Augsburger to County line;
Foust road; u. S. 80 to north end;
Swaney road, u. S. 80 to Jackson
townIhip line; Fett road, Old Is to
Hillville road; Schifferly road from
Bentley to Hancock county line;
Snider road, corporation line to north
end; Bixel road, Fett to Bentley road,
and Augsburger road, Fett to Phil
lips.
Roads to receive new mat surfaces
include: Yant road, Hillville to town.
ship line; Schifferly, Fett to Bentley;
Augsburger, Fett to Bentley, and
Lugibihl road, from 696 to Yant road
Township roads having received
unusually good care in recent years,
win not require as large an expendi-
ture in maintenance this year as the
last year, Mr.. Neiswander said.
The county is sharing in the cost
of the road improvements on 40
per cent basis rather than on SO
per cent of cost basis as has been
the practice in the past few years.

Critical congregations are general
ly taken in stride by the clergy, who
can turn the tables at will from the
pulpit and become critical itself, but
what does a preacher do when his
teacher is sitting in the front pew
with grade book in hand?
That is the plight of seven Bluffton
college students majoring in either
Bible or Christian education and Serv-
ing as pastors of churches in this
area.
This is the first time since students
at Bluffton college have been putting
theory into practice in the local
churches, that all members of DR..
Paul B. Shelly's classes have been
pastors. Previously they were placed
in the church as part-time Sunday
School teacher, youth group super
visor, or in other similar types of
work for field assignments.
The students turn in monthly and
semester reports on their work in the
churches, and as part of the plan
DR.. Shelly also visits the students in
their churches.
Four of the seven students in DR..
Shelly's classes live in the community
in which their church or one of their
churches is located. The other. three
live in Bluffton and serve their
churches from this point.
There is Edwin K Vance, pastor
of the Dunkirk E. u. B. church and
j. Hughes Price, pastor of the Dun
kirk Methodist Parish, both of whom
live in that community. Mr.. Price
also serves the Dola and Sugar Grove
Methodist churches. Then there is
c. w. Bollinger, pastor of the Conti-
mental E. U. B. charge at Continen-
tai, and John E. Brown, student as
sistant at the First Baptist church of
Lima.
The three living in Bluffton are
George w. Bailey, pastor of the Blue

Petition Seeks
Wider Bridge
On Grove Street

A petition to the Allen County
commissioners seeking the widen
ing of the Grove street bridge at
the edge of the BIuffton corpora
ti0n line is being circulated within
the village this week.
The petition was presented for
the signatures of village officials
and members of council at their
meeting Tuesday evening by w.
III. GratZ.
Because the Grove road is the
principal East-West route from
BIuffton, carrying heavy traffic
to and from Pandora, Ottawa,
and Columbus Grove, we, the
undersigned, urge a safer and
wider bridge to replace the old,
narrow, worn bridge on the road
at the edge of Bluffton,o the
petition reads.

CaIOrie Counters May Organize Club
For Support In Battle Of The Bulge

Impressed by the success of wom-
en- in neighboring communities who
have streamlined their figures
through dieting and the moral sup
port of fellow members of their TOPS
club, Bluffton women are again plan
ing to organize one of the popular
reducing clubs which are growing
rapidly across the country.
TOPS" stands for Taking Off
Pounds Sensibly'. and a Bluffton
woman, Mrs. Randall Schroll, Route
1, is top of TOPS in Findlay Not
only is the Bluffton woman president
of the Findlay reducing club, but she
has recently been appointed state
supervisor of TOPS clubs for the
state of Mississippi
Members of the national organiza-
ton believe in the motto, I'm Union
There is Strength. They receive
moral support from their fellow men,
bers if the scales at each meeting
show they are making progress. If
they backSlide and gain weight, they
pay at the rate of 25 cents per pound.
Mrs. Schroll is a good example of
what the club can help one do. She
weighed 234 pounds a year ago and
has dropped sixty-eight and a half
pounds since becoming a member.
Dozens of other women in the
Findlay club and another club in
Rawson have similar success stories
to tell Mrs. Schroll explains that the
club idea is growing by leaps and
bounds. In 1855 the members. as a
whole, shed a total of 81 tons of sur
plus. Last year the results were near
ly double with 115 tons reported lost

Aim 3-Day Drive
10 Raise $1,000
For Red Cross
Chairman Mrs. Golda Weiss
Names Dist. Captains
From Legion Aux.

Fund chairman Coda Weiss has
announced the appointment of district
captains for next weeks local Red
Cross fund drive. Members of the
American Legion Auxiliary win con-
duct this years program. They have
sponsored it locally for the last
several years.
Captains include Mrs. Ruth Shisler
of the northeast district, Mrs. EstelIa
Core of the northwest district, Mrs.
Rhea Geiger of the southwest district
and Mrs. Juanita Klingler of the
southeast district.
The solicitors hope to conclude tihis
years drive with three days of house
toulouse canvassing on next Monday,
Tuesday and "Wednesday. Persons
with further contributions may leave
them with Ralph Stearns at the post
office or James West at the Citizens
National Bank.
Buttons goal for this years drive
is $1,000, according to Mr.. Stearns,
the chapter chairman. Money collect
ed locally viii go into the fund of the
Allen county chapter of the Red
Cross. This years Allen county goal
has been increased by S2984.
Increased disaster spending by
the Red Cross during the last two
years has been given as the reason
for the increased goal for the county
chapter. The past Is months have
been unprecedented in the history of
the American Red Cross, Stearns
said.
Last year the Red Cross had total
disaster expenditures of S., ,493 300
while expenditures in the eastern
states floods the year before totaled
S1S, ,3OO, 900.
In addition to this all Hungarian
relief funds have been spent and the
cnly other uncommitted Red Cross
funds is the working capital of the
organization.
Total expenditures in 1856
amounted to over S116 million accord
ing to statistics released by the Allen
county chapter of the Red Cross.
Bluffton folks have tradirionally
been generous with the Red Cross.
This winter several Bluffton college
students participated in disaster re-
lief in the flood area near Hazard,
Ky.

Carey Rebuked.
0nHoward Talk.

RALEIGH, N. c.. Nov. 8 (P1.
The manager of a Westing-
house Electric Co. plant here
charged today that James B
Carey was bringing up old, dis
credited issues in declaring that
industry had started to use
race hate as a on-busting
weapon"
In a speech, Mr.. Carey. vice
president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and Congress
of Industrial Organizations,
said race hate" was used by
industry as propaganda against
union activities in four South
ern cities during the last two
years.
Mr.. Carey, who also is the
president Of the international
Union Of Electrical Workers.
said in a speech Friday at How
ard University at Washington.
D. c., that the firms which
used this new technique Of
war against labor" were the
Westinghouse Electric Co.,
plant here: the Neco Co. in Bay
Springs. Miss: and two firms
at jackson, Miss. and Gaines.
vile. Fla. which are allied with
Sperry-Rand Corp.
The labor leader declared
a photo was taken showing
him dancing with an attrac-
tive young Negro lady" at q
1855 meeting Of the Interna-
tional Labor Organization in
Geneva, Switzerland. He said
that "the young lady was with
the Nigerian delegation"
This photo. he declared, was
suddenly circulated as counter
propaganda in organizing cam
paigns Of his union.
Mr.. Carey is in Europe. His
speech was read by an aide.
James A. Babcock, Westing-
house plant manager here. said
that Gin no case have we ever
shown this picture to the en-
ployes of our plant"
He added that the regional
director of the National Labor
Relations Board had studied
the charge last March in con-
nection with union accusations
against the Raleigh plant. Mr..
Babcock declared the NLRB Of
ficial had decided that there
had been mo evidence that the
motion picture shown to en-
ployes had any reference to the
racial issue" and that the NLRB
official recommended the al
legation be overruled.
Mr.. Babcock said further
that the NLRB in Washington
had reviewed the regional di-
rector's report and the unions
objection and ruled in June
shat these objections and .ex-
ceptions are without merit"

Britain Seeks
A-Tanker Sub

LONDON. Nov. 9 (R.-A sub
marine-style oil tanker. bigger
than any ship now afloat, is
being proposed in Britain. 1t
would be atomic powered.
The designers say it could
travel twice as fast as surface
cargo ships. 1t would be free
Of water, wind and surface re-
sistance as well as weather
factors.
The designer, Mitchell Engi-
neering Co.. says the subma-
rine might be as big as 100000
tons"
The powered submarine
Nautilus is 1880 tons. The
Queen Elizabeth, worlds largest
ship, is $4,000 tons.
Two-foot models Of the hui,
Of the atom-powered subma-
rine have been built by Saun-
ders-Roe, makers Of flying
boats.
The models are towed in
tanks to test water pressure,
water friction and other fac
tors in underwater motion.
There is no coming tower
on these models. One artists
conception of the vessel shows
a fish-like body with windows
set back Of pointed nose, as
in an airliner.
The ship is the brainchild
Of a 73-year-old engineer and
industrial leader, F. G.. Mitchell
He is chairman of Mitchell
Engineering. which helps build
atomic reactors.
Mr.. Mitchell interested two
ship-owning companies in the
scheme. then commissioned
Saunders-Roe to carry out tests.
If they are successful, he and
the ship-owners plan to ap-
proach the government for aid
to start building. 1t is a COM
mercial idea with no military
aims.
