sex, Concord was a busy shipbuild-
ing port and trading center where
corn, wheat, firewood and lumber
were bought and shipped. The rail-
road passed to the west, with, Sea-
ford one of its main stops, and Con-
cord began to fade as a business
community.
The history dates back to 1853
when a 290-acre tract of land was
purchased by Abram Mitchell, of
Philadelphia and Walter and Sam
uel Franklin, merchants of New
York. Concord became a center of
iron making after a failure in New
Castle County due to scarcity of
good ore and finances. Bog-iron
was produced and shipped on the
Nanticoke River to the Chesapeake
Bay and on to England and Scot
land. This industry flourished until
during the Revolutionary War.

session of George Ellegood of Con-
cord shows that the town was laid

paid special tribute to the boys
who have completed their high

The Beavers Ken Mast said
that he would rate this year, S

championship years on the basis
of three characteristics.
He said: 1. He had never had

football so badly. 2. They had
better overall team speed than

They played with consistency -

Farm Implement Firm
Celebrates 5Oth Birthday

bert, took over the implement
business of T. A. Kitchen on
Cherry street where Monroe Am
stutz now operates his car wreck
ing business.
Those were the days, Mr.. Nj
swander recalls, when his firm
could equip a farmer with all the
necessary tools of the business
for about S375. For another $50
to $100 a farmer bought a horse
and he was in business.
This is a far cry from today
when new farmer must invest
$4,000 to $4,000 for a bare be-
ginning in equipment. Of course,
Carey points out, the equipment
makes him many times more
productive and takes the back
breaking labor out of the job.
1t was about 1912 when Carey
and his brother purchased the
frame building which housed
early moving picture
show. In 1920 it was sold to
Bros, and Niswander
into the A. d. Lugibihl
room now occupied by Leland
Gerber, the photographer.

A Bluffton firm, which has
played an important local role
in half a century of revolutionary
change in agriculture, will OBJ
serve its golden anniversary this
week end.
c. F. Niswander & Son has an
nounced a 50th birthday sale
promotion Friday and Saturday
until noon, with an "open house"
reception in honor of the founder
slated Saturday afternoon and
evening.
The farm implement store was
established in October 1908 when
Carey Niswander and Enos Stein
er purchased the hardware and
implement store located where
the Pine restaurant now stands.
1t was acquired from J. E. Stein
er.
The same store might also be
said to have been the ancestor of
the Greding hardware store, be-
cause three years later after it
had been moved across the street
to where the A to z is now lo-
Gated, it was sold to Calvin and
Lee Greding.

titled as a lynx. The animal at
tackled Strunk while he was in
the yard. Strunk killed the big
cat with shot gun.
Strunk's son, James, said that
the animal was as big as a good
sized dog and stood a foot and a
half high. The cat had tufted ears
and was black in color. Teeth
were long and curved under.
The animal at that time was
reported to have killed a num-
ber of house cats.
The Strunks stated the animal
had a mate which they could
hear screaming at intervals for
several days after they had killed
and buried the first one.
John Kolter, who lived in the
same neighborhood, said a friend
of his saw large tracks along the
creek bottom last summer, which
were identified as made by a
member of the cat family.
1t is believed that the cat seen
by Filing and Finn may have
been the mate of the one killed
by Strunk.
James Strunk said there is
very little game in the creek bot
tom and woods adjacent to the
Strunk home. His two dogs were
unable to flush a single bird on
a trial hunt the past week.
The fact that the Sportsmen's
club raises pheasants in a fly

Senator People Proposes
State College In Lima

Within the next 10 years, Pep
pie predicts that demands on
Ohio's colleges will be so great
that Lima will have far more
than $50 young people who want
to advance their studies and viii
have difficulty in finding places
in other schools.
He added that he will contact
the board of education and the
Association of Commerce to try
to develop local interest in a
Lima college.
The Senator has also suggested
a site for the proposed institu-
ton. "Farout, Industry and
Hoover Parks are restricted to
park use," he pointed out, "but
the large open spaces could also
serve as beautiful campus for
the Lima college"
Both Bluffton college and Ohio
university are making
plans for future expansion. Two
weeks ago at Homecoming fes-
tivities, DR.. Lloyd L. Ramseyer
that plans are in de-
for additions and i'm
to provide for a stu
dent body of from 500 to 600
students in the next five years.
The projects will cost an estimat-
ed three-qYarters of a million
dollars.

Because Bluffton college and
Ohio Northern university are now
nearly filled to capacity, State
Senator Ross People is advocat-
ing the establishment Of state
college in Lima.
Senator People, in announcing
his proposal, said that Lima peo-
pie have stayed away from the
suggestion heretofore for fear of
damaging Bluffton college and
ONU. Because these schools are
now well filled, he said he felt
local groups will be interested in
the project. He made it clear,
however, that the initiative will
have to be taken from the Lima
city school board, if the idea is
to be developed.
A two-year branch college is
suggested as a beginning. Later
it would be expanded into a four
year college and eventually into
"our own university" People
said.
Senator People said that Lima
now has 45O students in under
graduate or graduate studies at
Ohio Northern, Bowling Green
and Ohio State universities.
The Ohio State Senate's Edu-
cation committee estimates that
only about $50 students are nee
essary to support a full four-year
curriculum.
