A former Bluffton man who has
been drilling for oil in various places
for the last 20 years, may actually
have oil gurgling under his bed, which
has been a standing joke in his fam
lily.
Ford Henry, who learned the drill
ing business in this area as a fourth
generation oil man, believes that his
present home town, Wayland, Mich,
NAV be situated on one OF the MAJOR
oil fields in the state.
The oil driller foresees "a nice oil
field" in the area now being devel-
oped. but the hitch lies in village
ordinance which prohibits drilling IN

Campaign Part Of
Annual Cleanup

Do you throw cigarette and gum
wrappers, tissues, banana skins or
apple cores out of ydur car window?
When walking, do you believe that
a gutter is an enlarged trash can
and use it accordingly?
If SO, you are Litterbug on which
Bluffton is waging war according to
Emory Benroth, chairman of the
cleanup phase of Cleanup, Paint-Up,
Plant-Up, and Fix-Up Week May 8-18
A new emphasis will be placed on
keeping the town streets clear of un-
slightly trash during the annual cam
paign, and the trash cans along Main
street will make their appearance in
new green coat of paint. APPROX
mately six or seven additional cans
will be added, and each will carry
the printed message, Keep Bluffton
Clean Don't Be A Litterbug."
Stencils for the printed legend were
provided the committee by T h e
Triplett Electrical Instrument COM
pany, and the trash cans are being
spray painted by c. F. Niswander
& Son.
Mr. Benroth added that in both
schools and town industrial plants the
message will be passed around seek
ing cooperation in keeping Bluffton
clean. School children and employees
of the local plants will be asked tc
be especially careful at noon hour
in abstaining from littering the streets
with papers.
The cleanup committee is hopeful
that local citizens will use their
renovated trash containers, not gut
ters, for litter disposal. Cutters were
designed to drain water and are no
waste receptacles.

sion on visitors to our city as debris

Findlay airport they decided at their
April "a meeting.
Members of the Findlay Chamber
of Commerce presented exhibits on

The Findlay Chamber hopes to
secure stop on the Cleveland-De-

tral Airlines. Lima is presently served
by the Pittsburg-Ft. Wayne-Chicago

The program is just beginning and
a great deal of organizational work

orable action on the matter, includes
Harold Carey, Chairman, N. N. Trip
