NKP Announces Plan
To Remove Familiar
Old Railroad Tower

Nickel Plate railroad officials have
announced plans to remove the long
familiar railroad tower at the juno
ton of the Nickel Plate and Akron,
Canton and Youngstown railroads,
just east of Bluffton.
The tower will be replaced by
a series of automatic block signals.
No definite date for replacement of
the old building has been set. M. B.
Phipps, vice-president of operations
for the Nickel Plate, said the work
would be done as soon as it can be
scheduled.
Replacement of the tower has been
rumored for some months and once
was scheduled only to be postponed.
The tower probably will come down
before the first of the year, railroad
personnel indicated.
Both railroads use facilities of the
tower and will share in the replace
ment of the tower with the new auto
matte signals.
The old square building was com.
pleted in December 1925 and has been
in round the clock use since that
time. L. M. HIGHWAY, veteran opera.
tor who has been employed at the
tower since it opened recalls that q
separate operators were employed
during the first year of operation.
Four operators are presently EN-
ployed at the tower but assignments
there are constantly changing.

Seek Three-Mill
Hike and Renewal
Of Present Levy

A long expected step to increase
operating funds was taken by the
Bluffton board of education Tuesday
evening when it adopted resolution
authorizing the board of elections to
place an extra three-mill tax levy on
the ballots at the November election.
On the same ballot voters of the
school district will also be asked to
support the renewal of the present
extra seven-mill levy. which expires
at the end of this year.
Approval of the measure in Novem-
Der would increase the total school
tax rate from its present $3.50 per
thousand dollars of real estate valua-
ton to S18.1O per thousand.
Generally increasing costs of oper-
ating the schools during the past four
years have made the additional rev.
enues necessary, the board will ex-
plain as election day approachs. Ad-
dition of a kindergarten, restoration
of several subjects in the high school
and a continuing increase in the pu-
pill load requiring additional teachers
have contributed to the increased
costs. "
Members of the board discussed
possibilities of skimping along on
request for two or two and a half
mills instead of three, but it was felt
that this would only make it neces-
sary to return to the electorate for
another levy in year or two.
Superintendent of Schools A. B.
Murray noted that the present tax
duplicate (value of all taxable prop
erty) now stands at S10,209, ,742, ap-
proximately S5OO,OOO more than the
past year This will yield so, ,209 for
each additional mill levied. The three
mill levy will increase revenues ap-
proximately $4,000 a year providing
the schools with an income of about
$154, ,167 as compared with S123,53
under the present levy.
The tax measure will provide the
additional three mills for the years
1858, 1859, 1860, 1861 and 1862, and
viii renew the present seven-mill
levy for the years 1859, 1860, 1861,
and 1862.
Mr.. Murray said that only ma
jority of the vote cast is required to
pass the measure.

BUILDING A FIRE under the long
dormant bathhouse fund for the mu-
nicipal swimming pool and bringing
its temperature back to normal is the
goal of the major project for this
summer of the Bluffton Junior Cham
Der of Commerce.
Total in the fund has climbed to
1855, Morris Groman, committee
chairman has said. Latest additions
have come from the Progressive
Mothers club, Koontz Sinclair, whose
prize from the July parade was do
mated to the fund, and profits from
the dunking machine operated by the
EJaycees at the rodeo.
Groman said his committee is seek
ing new money-making plans for their
program and his group is receptive
to all suggestions.

Council Clarifies
Garbage Regulation

Garbage must be kept in we'll
covered cans, which must be free
from water, village council said Tues
day evening in clarifying the much
discussed requirements for persons
using the village refuse collection
service.
The garbage must be kept in cans
which are covered, with lids, canvas,
oil cloth or any other substance to
keep water from collecting inside the
cans, councilmen said
Street commissioner William Gaiffe
has repeated that his crew will not
pick up garbage or refuse in i'm
properly covered containers.

Seek Five-Year
TWO-Mill Boost
To Earn $4,000

A two-mill operating levy expected
to yield over $50, 900 in five years
will be requested on the fall ballot,
Bluffton village council decided Tues
day evening.
Proceeds from the levy will be used
to finance a major, COMMUNICATIVE
program of street repair.
The proposed levy requires 60
per cent affirmative vote for passage
If approved the tax would be col
Iected from 1959-63.V Village solicitor
Malcolm BaSinger estimated that
more than $4,000 would be realized
from the levy.
He said Bluffton's present tax eval-
uation is less than 5000 below $6,-
600, 900 and has steadily been rising.
A two-mill tax based on $6,000,000
evaluation would yield exactly $12,-
900 per year.
The village win also have street
money available from their share of
state gasoline and automobile license
taxes, which are distributed to COM
munities throughout the state.
Mayor David Risser said he felt in
come from the proposed tax levy add
ed to income from state tax sources
would enable the community to clean
up practically all its street worries
in the five year period.
Projected plans cali for the grad
ing and resurfacing of nearly every
street in the village. Also looming as
a necessity is replacement of the
Cherry street bridge, badly weakened
and used under several load limits for
the past year.
If approved in November, income
from the tax levy would be available
to the village in April 1859. The first
half-year collection would yield $6,-
900 but the village might be able to
draw an installment ahead, giving
them at least $4,000 for street work
next summer.
The additional tax levy will be des-
ignated as operating expenses on the
ballot this fall but council authorized
a notation in the minutes that rev.
enue from this levy would be chan
neled to street improvement.

an estimated 5000 men, women and
children lined the two-mile parade
route to watch the Freedom Parade
wend its way down Main street and
through the residential area
Unlike previous parades the entries
were not all lined up in accordance
to their particular division, but were
placed in the line of march to give
a diversity and interest its entire
length. The new arrangement was
planned by Parade Marshall Walter
Beck
Parade Winners
Grand prize winner was a large
float entered by the Ex-Cell-O cor

Wheat Harvest
Set Back By
Continued Rain

Predictions of last week that the
first wheat would begin to arrive at
the local elevators by today or
earlier this week were altered when
rains continued to slow the ripening
of the current crop.
Last year combines were in the
field on the Fourth of July and the
harvest was well under way by this
time.
Cool weather and almost daily
rains in recent weeks have slowed
down the harvest considerably. Sew
eral farmers have submitted samples
of their grain to the local elevators,
but Tuesday they were told that the
moisture content is far too high for
combining.
Farm implement dealers have been
flooded with work on equipment as
farmers prepared for getting into the
fields at the first opportunity.
This is a critical period for wheat
because the heads are heavy and
strong wind accompanied by heavy
rain could beat the wheat to the
ground making it difficult if not i'm
possible to harvest in some cases.
IF the rains stop now" one eleva-
tor operator said late Tuesday, lit is
not likely that much wheat will be
combined before early next week"
Although the harvest has been de-
layed local opinion is that the yield
should be about average. 1t is be-
lieved that the continuous rains may
have affected pollination but not
critically.

BoIes' Works Urged
As Representative

Dear Mr.. Thorpe.
While they're striving TO
get something good and rep
resentative at the Brussels
Worlds Fair we hear talk
of symphony orchestras and
soloists. ! have q suggestion
that may seem to the ultra
long-haired observer to be q
bit banal but nevertheless it
is representative and I shall
attempt to show that it Is
good, too.
Richard Bales in this very
city has written three canta-
tas, "The Republic" THE
Confederacy" and The
Union" Now they tell the
story of America in music
that is certainly not Stravin-
sky but neither is 1t vulgar.
Not only that, but look at
the performersl Bales, him.
self, a descendent Of q Rev.
olutionary war officer and q
Confederate officer. Il be-
lieve he also had a relative
on the Union side) julie
Zabawa, the product Of q
German and Polish union:
Peggy zabawa. a daughter Of
Swedish migrants; Jan
Michael (Dabrowski), the son
of a Polish father; the Re-
formation Choir. a repre-
sentative church group.
The three Of these cantatas
are stirring and historical in
nature. The manner in which
they were presented also is
interesting. They were per-
formed in a public building
donated by a millionaire. The
concerts and Bales services
are paid for from a private
foundation. The whole set
up to me seems intriguing.
Besides, it would compromise
between the various forms Of
music that we have been get.
ting complaints about (either
too jazzy or too modern).
If you don't agree with me,
Mr.. Thorpe, why don't you
at least put to the public the
query? Let us show our best
face to the world. Bales
three pieces Of music tell the
story Of America in her most
trying times and It behooves
US to show that picture to
the world.
LANGHORNE THOMAS.

for having America repre-
sented at Brussels by the
three patriotic cantatas Of
Richard Bales Of the National
Gallery Of Art.
In addition to Mr.. Thomas
arguments. there is the fact
that Mr.. Bales music is
truly popular with Americans
Of today. competing success
fully In the record market
with the hottest Of Tin Pan
Alley. Whether it is char
acteristically American as
music, rather than in subject
matter, is doubtful, but I
myself have never been fully
convinced that "nationalism"
in music means much more
than idiosyncracies Of super
fetal earmarks-meter S or
turns Of phrases that can
easily be initiated and are Of
no great importance.
The other letter, from Rod
ney H. Mill, was motivated
by a piece by me on the
American composer Charles
Ives, published in The Star on
May 5. He sees much in
which to disagree with me,
even though we both are
great admirers Of Ives music,
and in general I accept most
Of his structures as valid cor
rections. I find his letter
remarkably good, in that,
written though it is out Of
great love for the subject. it
is still sober and convincing.
