role in producing the first satellite
should have come as no surprise, but
suddenly we flew into a panic.
We must remember that we have

State Gives Water,
Sewage Plants Clean
Bill In Inspection

The Village of Bluffton' S waterworks
and sewage disposal systems were
given a clean bill of health by the
State Board of Health inspectors in
recent inspections, according to let
ters to council from F. H. Waring
chief sanitary engineer of the state
Mr.. Warnings report stated that the
waterworks was found in good order
and was being maintained satisfac-
torily. Bacterial results show the wa
ter to be safe and sanitary in quality.
Total hardness of, GAS parts per mil
lion was reported.
Ane recommendation for improving
the rotary distributors of the trick
ling filters at the disposal plant was
made and has already been complied
with.
Mr.. Waring added that the village
should adopt policy as early as pos
sible to abandon septic tanks since
the effluent from the tanks is in a
sour state and places greater load
upon the municipal sewage system.
Members of council, however,
smiled at this recommendation since
they have repeatedly warned
residents that the septic tanks must
be continued in most locations. This
is because of the poor condition of
sewers leading to the main trunk
lines. The introduction of paper and
solids would clog these sewers and
cause critical condition.
Permission is granted to bypass the
septic tank only when the sewage car
be drained directly into one of the
new trunk lines.

The new rules will become effec-

Up, Paint-Up, Fix-Up Week, April 70
through May 3 although large ac-
cumulations of trash will not be re-

monthly pickup on Monday, May 5.
Street Commissioner Will m
Gaiffe, who is in charge OF the VII
lage garbage and trash collection,
asks the cooperation of all citizens
in the interest of a cleaner Bluffton.
Covering of ash cans and tin can con-
tainers will keep out water which
breeds mosquitoes in the summer
and freezes preventing emptying in
the winter, he said.
The village collection crew has
been ordered by council not to shovel
up large accumulated heaps of ashes
nor to lift heavy containers. Recently
one container was placed in an alley
for pickup weighing 400 pounds.
The village crew will cooperate to
the fullest, giving everyone an OPP
portunity to improve containers
where improvement is needed, Mr..
Gaiffe said. At first warning tags will
be placed on containers where rules
have been violated If these are ig
nord the village truck will have tt
refuse to make pickup.

with the village campaign. Chairman
Paul Steiner said this week, we urge
everyone to help make Bluffton a

Late for Lopez
Yankee Theory
BY the Associated Press

It's no wonder Al Lopez Is
the only manager in the Ameri-
can League who isn't afraid Of
the Yankees. Year after year
he keeps saying the champs
can be had, and year after
year he gets around to proving
it-but with too little, or too
late.
Last year Lopez had his
White Sox right on the
Yankees tail before they folded
because his pitching wasn't
quite deep enough. This year
he figured he had the pitching.
but his pitchers didn't come
through until too late.
The White Sox didn't get q
move on until the Yankees had
built their biggest lead Of the
season, II games on August Q.
The very next day the Sox
swept q double-header from
the Yankees behind Dick Dono-
van and Ray Moore. The Sox
have won IA of II since then
while the Yankees have lost
II of 10. But that once-whop-
ping Yankee lead still is COM
Portable.
Lopez, the only skipper in
the league to beat Casey Stengel
since he took charge of the
Yankees in 1919, saw his Sox
build their longest winning
streak of the year last night
as Donovan's four-hitter beat
Boston. I'll, and pushed Chi

Roy Sievers has thrust him
self among the contenders for
the batting championship with
a four-for-four night against
the Tigers, and the Senators
slugger is sandwiched between
Mickey Mantle and Jackie
Jensen in the stirring battle
for home run honors.
Roy rebounded nicely to lift
his average to .317 with his saith
homer and three singles last
night as the Senators defeated
the Tigers, 81, before an Inter-
faith Night crowd of 10,970.
Sievers is only 10 points
behind league-leading Pete
Runnels, and anybody who has
followed Roy for the last seven
weeks must consider him a
likely prospect to present
Washington its first batting
champion since 1858, when
Mickey Vernon won it.
Sievers has been rising
steadily since June 81. blasting
away at a 1865 clip during that
period to boost his average A
points.
Frank Larry will start fol-
Detroit tonight as the Tigers

Sievers has batted 500 against
him in 10 chances this season
The first of Sievers' hits last
night was a home run over the

Dodger Lineup
By the Associated Press


The Dodgers have an injury
list almost as long as a regi-
mental roster. but it's the OPP
position that has been hurting.
Last night, for example, the
Dodgers played a double-header
against Milwaukee with a line
up that might have resulted
from a game of musical chairs.
With five men playing positions
they've occupied only rarely this
season, the Dodgers cuffed the
world champions twice, Al and
To, before a crowd of 42,409 in
the Coliseum.
This left Los Angeles alone in
fourth place and gave the
Dodgers seven victories in eight
games and IL in IT meetings
with Milwaukee this year. The
Dodgers are the only team in
the league with an edge over
the Braves, and with IL wins
they can do no worse than split
with the champions for the sea-
son.
Hodges at Third
First Baseman Gil Hodges
worked the full double-header
at third base, a position he'd
played only a couple of times IN
his entire major league career
before the present home stand.
Second Baseman Charlie Neal
was at shortstop and Junior
Gillian, who has spent nearly
all season in the outfield and at
third base, was at second.

This is Sam Bakers home

of it against the San Francisco
Forty-Niners in their second
exhibition game here Saturday
night.
1t also is familiar territory
to Dick James, who performed
at Oregon before moving up
to the pro league. James will
start at left halfback against
the Forty-Niners and Baker
will get the call at fullback.
For James it is something Of
a reward for his fine defensive
performance against the Los
Angeles Rams last Saturday,
when the Redskins took a 81
10 drubbing. But putting
Baker ahead of Don Bosseler
and Johnny Olszewski is more
Of a box-office stunt. Sam
should be a big attraction, and
he is working overtime to be
ready for his ball-carrying role.
