Meat Canning Project Used Fat
Collection in Sept. Relief Program

Two major projects to benefit
the American foreign aid pro-
gram are planned for September
by the Bluffton-Pandora-Lima
Area Mennonite Church Relief
committee.
The committee hopes to exceed
last years program of canning
LISA cans of meat in its num-
Der l project, and will conduct
another collection of waste fats
for soap-making as its second
task of the month, according to
Kenneth Winkler, general chair
man of the committee.
Last year $500 was raised in
the areas Mennonite churches
to purchase six beef cattle. Vol.
unteer help from the five church
es butchered the beef and can.
ned it for shipment to MCC
headquarters in Akron, Pa, and
hence to overseas relief work.

COMPLETION of the Bell Me-
mortal in time for the opening
of school, and the nostalgia peal
ing of the bell on the opening
day of school recalled to many
old-timers the happy days of
many years ago when the bell
called them to school.
School bells in those days were
operated by humans, not by cleo
tric currents, and there frequent
ly was a heart behind their ring
ing. Most beloved of the bell
ringers was the late Rel Potee,
father of Wilbur Potee, who used
to ring the bell as long as any
child on his way to school was
in sight. AS long as the bell was
ringing no child was tardy and
the long, long rings may have
saved many a tender young skin
from punishment.
DID YOU EVER TRACE the
ancestry of a champion?
The story behind the winning
pumpkin at the annual Flower
Festival last week end tells of
little girls, flower pots and jack
O. lanterns.
The blue ribbon for the finest
pumpkin of the show went to
Patty Stratton, little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert ]. Stratton,
Route 1. While enrolled in kin
dergarten last year under Miss
Margaret Groman the pupils
made jack o. lanterns during the
Halloween season and when the
grinning faces had passed their
prime Miss Groman divided the
seeds inside and sent them home
with her students.
Patty saved her seeds - just
two or three of them-and this
spring set out her own private
punkin patch. And it was one of
the products of last years jack
o. lantern seeds that took the bi
blue ribbon for this years first
grade student, Patty Stratton.
THE EDUCATIONAL EXHIB-
1T at Bluffton'S Flower Festival
was again one of the highlights
of the event. Miss Ocie Anderson
assisted Prof. H. W. Berky in
preparing the exhibit, and pro-
vided books on a wide variety of
subjects of interest to the gar
dener.
One display showed the novice
how to graft, layer, plant bulbs
and seeds. and how to plant slips.
An insect display showed bene-
ficial and injurious insects and
presented a piece of elm which
had been infected with the Dutch
Elm disease.
Gardening soils was the subject
of a third part of the exhibit
showing samples of loam, sandy
soil, clay and compost material.
An interesting feature of the
exhibit included a number of
owl pellets usually found around
the birds nest. The bwl, the eX-

The annual meat canning pro-
ject is slated for September &c

ming Friday, September 26 at

Persons wishing to contribute
cash or volunteer help in cutting
or canning the meat are urged

Large drums have been placed
at the misunderstanding build
ing next to the First Mennonite
church, Bluffton, and at Lugibihl
Frozen Food Center, Pandora,

Joseph E. Davies

In some ways, although he was
highly successful in it, Joseph E. Davies
practiced law as if he regarded it. as
little more than an avocation. The
fields that seemed to attract him most,
that seemed closest to his heart, were
politics and diplomacy. A lifelong
Democrat, he was Woodrow Wilson's
Western campaign manager in 1912.
Thereafter, as one of the bright young
men of the new administration, he
drafted the legislation that created the
Federal Trade Commission, of which
he became the first chairman. Later,
after having gone back to his native
Wisconsin to run for the Senate-a race
he almost won-he went to the Versailles
Conference as an economic adviser on
President Wilson'S staff. There then
followed the years, while Republicans
were in the White House, when he con-
centrated with distinction and profit on
his lawyers work here in Washington.
But still, as if they were his first love,
he maintained a lively interest in po-
litical and diplomatic matters.
This led in time, after he had proved
himself to be one of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration'S StouteSt supporters, to his
appointment as our Ambassador to the
Soviet Union from 1886 to 1888. On the
basis of his experience in that post (he
served later as our envoy to Belgium
and Luxembourg, he wrote his cele-
brated and controversial Mission to
Moscow" which in both book form and
movie form seemed to many knowing
people to be naively, and even outra-
geously, laudatory of a baSically evil
deSpotiSm. Stain, of course, as he
indicated to the author during the lat
ter's special trip to Russia in 1943, re-
garded the work as very fine thing,
AS for Mr. Davies himself, whose last Of
fetal contact with the old tyrant was at
Potsdam in 1945, he left no room for
doubt in recent years that he had be-
come diSenchanted with and thoroughly
distrustful of the Kremlin. His little
volume, however, is no measure of the
man. Dead now at 81, he will be re-
membered at home and abroad, and
especially by his fellow WaShingtonians,
as a hoSpitable, good-hearted and able
American who did his best for his
county.

Our New Zoninq

The District Zoning Commission
merits commendation from the entire
community for its successful revision Of
the citys worn and tattered old coming
code. The task Of setting new land-use
rules for virtually all of Washington's
private land, and In the process to strive
for balance between the extreme views
of conflicting interests, is prodigiouS
one. It has proved too difficult for some
other cities.
It is too early to hazard any real eval-
uation of the new code. Certainly there
will be vigorous protests against some
provisions from property owners and
builders who will feel the pinch of more
rigid restrictions. We have no doubt
as zoning officials themselves concede-
that some mistakes have been made, for
no such sweeping revision could be 9TH
erwiSe. AS they are identified such mis-
takes can and should be corrected.
On the whole, it is obvious that the
new code is one of compromise. Many
of the demands of the business COM
munity have been granted. At the same
time, the general form of the new rules
as proposed by consultant Harold Lewis
has been followed including many mod
ern, new coming techniqueS. CommiS-
sion officials believe one of their main
accomplishments has been to bring zon-
ing into closer relationship with the way
land actually is being used and, for this,
special commendation is due the COM
MISSIONS technical advisers, headed by
coming officer Robert Clouser.
Perhaps the commissions key deci-
sion was to make the new code effective
Immediately, without advance publica-
ton or further public hearings. Pre-
sumably it did so to avoid another go
round of controversy. The result, how
ever, is that individuals and community
groups now must settle down to care
full study of its effects We trust this
will be done with calmneSS and delib-
Grafton.
