main street business building and
two new residences in or near

and to erect the block walls. P.
w. Fett, Lima, has the building
contract.
One new residence is being
built on Garmatter street and an

poured and construction is ad-
vancing. The house is being built
for the market.
The other residence south of

BlufftOn College Board
President Speaks At
ROpp Hall Ceremony

Completion of the Ropp hall ad-
dition is an indication of the per-
severance of those who have
guided the destiny of Bluffton
college, but even now we wonder
whether we have gone a r
enough, E. w. Baumgartner,
chairman of the board of trus-
tees, told 300 persons gathered
forsthe dedication of the building
Sunday afternoon.
In another FIVE or six years, the
board president Npredicted, the
college will need another similar
addition. -
"Our future depends upon our
perseverance. More facilities,
more money, more teachers will
be needed" he said.
He spoke of the recent empha-
Sis upon development of scientists
to keep up with Russia, but de-
clared that what we need is
more guided young men and
women than guided missiles.
A shadow of sorrow was cast
over. the dedication ceremonies
by the death two days earlier of
DR.. Jacob Schultz, dean emeritus
of the college, and his wife in an
auto accident. In introductory
remarks DR.. Lloyd L. Ramseyer
said that no one in the history of
the college had given more I'M
selfish service to it, and that he
had always been aided and en-
couraged by Mrs. Schultz.
Nearly 1000 persons were esti-
mated to have visited the new
dormitory and tour it Sunday.
Mrs. Gilbert Suter, or m e r
dean of women at Bethel college,
who gave the, dedication address,
said that the pew' building, is a
memorial to our faith in God who
showed us a mountain that need
ed to be moved, and it was
moved.
1t is also a testimony to our
faith in the future and in young
people, she said.
To young people who will use
the building, Mrs. Suter said that
once people sought the fountain
of youth, but now they seek after
peace of mind.
God cannot grant all of our
wishes to remain safe and COM
Portable in the cocoon of our
childhood" she said. The self
centered cocoon of childhood was
not meant to wear in after life.
AS you accept responsibilities of
life, you will find peace of mind,
and there is a wide perspective
of opportunity open to you"

year s successful drive.
Woodrow Little, executive Sec
retary of the organization, said
that one of the first two solici.
tors turning in reports was one
visiting retail business places on
Main street. He turned in S559
with a report that all firms called
upon had equalled or increased
their gifts this year.
Another volunteer worker from
the rural area reported collec-
tons of SIG and said that it ap-
peared the rural home will be
much more thoroughly covered
this year than last, and that the
response looks good.
The second annual drive open
ed Monday evening at a Kickoff
meeting in the school. Solicita-
ton procedures were outlined to
over 200 volunteer workers.
This years higher budget
makes successful solicitation
even more important, campaign
chairman Arden Baker told the
volunteer group.
Increased requests by member
agencies and the addition of three
new member organizations boost
ed this years goal to $7,392.03.
Groups added this year were the
YMCA, Community hospital and
the USO. Holdover groups from
last years campaign are the
Red Cross, Heart Fund, Girl
Scouts and Brownies, Boy Scout
movement, Salvation Army and
CROP.
A drop in local employment
this year also makes the in
creased fund request a tougher
figure to hit, the campaign chair
man said in urging an all-out
effort by the solicitors.
UF president Harold Balmer
spoke on reasons for a United
Fund. These community drives
get more complete coTerage and
eliminate the need for different
drives, while reducing operating
expenses to a minimum, he said.
Solicitors make one call instead
of nine. The needs of the various
health and welfare agencies are
also carefully studied before the
community budget is made UP,
Mr.. Balmer said, instead of hap
hazard giving in a number of
drives. II
