To show the effectiveness of new Boron with

HERES the BIG REV Difference!

For several years, both Boron and Extron~
Gasolines have had protection against dit-
ferent driving problem icing. Car
buretor icing causes stalling at stop signs and
lights and occurs only when the temperature
is above freezing. But fuel line freeze-up occurs
at sub-freezing temperatures and it stops you
cold. Now new Boron
with Ice-gard offers full
protection against both fC0Au0S
carburetor icing and S
fuel line freeze-up!

The final episode brings to life
scene in a modern draft office
where conscientious objector Don
Snyder says, I'VE believe that
the way of love is better than
the way of hate" Don explains
the pilgrimage of Mennonites
through the years and across
many nations in search for a
place to live the love of God.
AS the epilogue makes clear,
pilgrims do not always know
where they are going. The CEN
tennial pageant, in portraying
pilgrims of past years illuminates
Mennonites' destiny as sojourn-
'srs and pilgrims, never too
much at home in the world, but
ever seeking for the City of God.
The pageant was written by
Maynard Shelly, Newton, Kan
Sas, and DR.. Harold Meyer OF
Goshen college prepared the mu-
sical score. Prof. Earl Lehman
of Bluffton college, is rehearsing
a special choir for the pageant
and is directing the orchestra.

have parts in the Mennonite Cen
tennial Pageant, I'VE Are Pill

in the Roman Catholic church,
he is torn by conflicts and doubts
as he searches for the fellowship
of believers.
AS worshipers stream through
the doors of Witmarsum church,
Memo prays for wisdom and
courage, and then leaves. Where
he is going, he cannot say for
sure; he knows only that he must
go by faith.

for a new home in America.

Harmon Field
Will Be Lit
For Softball

Complete new lights for foot
ball and the first steps towards
a lighted Softball diamond at
Harmon field will be completed
by early September.
An entirely new 144,000 watt
system will be used for the foot
ball field. Old lights and poles
from the field will be installed
at the present baseball diamond.
Wiring and installation of trans
formers for the baseball lighting
will be completed later when
funds are available, superintend-
ent of schools A. B. Murray said.
Expenditure of $11, ,392.8O to COW
er the new lighting was approved
last week at a special meeting
of the Board of Education. The
contract was awarded to Cart
right Electric Service, Tiffin.
The winning bid was one OF
three submitted to the board, two
by the Tiffin firm. Cartrigtt's bid
to install the new system and
store the old lights for future use
by the board was $40, ,992.50
An extra $500 was asked to in
stall the old lights at the base
ball diamond and the board vot-
ed to accept this option, boost
ing the contract to its final fig
ure.
Cartright also bid $5,078 to re-
build the present lighting system.
He would have used all the pres
ent poles and lights adding the
extra crossarms, floodlights and
wiring necessary to boost the
lighting capacity to 144,O 900 watts.
The other bid came from Rey-
nolds Electric company. They
asked 0,725 to install a Sc flood
light system with 144,0O0 watt ca
pacity or $11, TAG to install l2S
floodlight system with $4,000
watt capacity. These bids were
based on the use of equipment
presently in place at the field.
If this bid had been accepted
the board would not have had the
existing lights for future use at
the baseball diamond.
Eight new 60 foot light poles
will be installed at the football
field, with 96 new 1,5OO watt
floodlights to be installed.
The new system will have 50
per cent more lighting power
than the present football lights.
There are eight $500 watt flood
lights on each pole presently,
providing a $4,000 watt capacity.
No extra poles will be erected
but each pole will have third
bank of four 1,500 watt flood
lights, boosting the power to l44'-
600 watts.

Councils action reversed a
unanimous accommodation by
the Board of Public Affairs that
the building be sold.
A split vote of AZ against de-
feated the motion to sell the
building to Triplett. Charles
Hankish Jr. and Francis Reich
enbach supported the motion.
Wilbur Amstuz, Charles Auker-
man, Edgar Chamberlain and
William McKibben voted against
selling the plant.
AS soon as the sale PROPOSE
ton was .rejected Nar. Reichen-
bach said I'VE just lost $40 ,OOC
for the tuwn," then moved to
accept the Ex-Cell-O bid &c
lease the plant. He said it was
better to get some income than
to have the plant stand idle.
Council voted 60 to accept Ex-
Cell-O's bid for a three year
lease.
The sale to Triplett apparently
founderad when the councilmen
were not satisfied with the BPA
plans to house their water pump
ing equipment if the building
were sold.
A new pumphouse with office
and garage space has been pro-
posed by the BPA while coun-
Gil favors remodeling the present
building if the facilities are ex-
panded.
Triplett's bid would have per-
mitted the village to lease their
present pump space in the base
ment for S100 a year for five
years. The agreement would
have been renewable if both
parties consented.
The BPA advised selling the
building and renting the pump
space for the first five year
term. A decision on whether to
build the new building or renew
the lease could be made before
the first lease expired. They said
they would study the costs and
methods of financing a new
before definitely going
ahead with a new plant, indicat-
ing it might be better to review,

Confessed Forger
May Hold Answer
To Local Crimes

A forgery confession by Charles
Shumaker, Lima, has solved the
June Ii burglary of Brooke
Motor Sales, and may be a solu-
ton to the Western Auto Asso-
ciate store break-in of the same
date, and other earlier Bluffton
burglaries, police chief William
Gaiffe said Tuesday.
Shumaker pleaded guilty to
forgery Monday in Findlay mu-
nicipal court after being arrested
by the Findlay police department.
He admitted signing the name
Floyd w. Brooke" on a Brooke
Motor Sales check written on the
Citizens National Bank. The
charges were filed by Richard
Eakin, assistant manager of the
Goodrich Tire company, Findlay,
one of several firms to receive
bad checks written on the local
bank since the burglaries in June.
The Bluffton police chief said
Shumaker viii be questioned
concerning a number of burg
laries which have occurred here
in recent months including the
Vida Vidella shop and Ems

Sewer Rates
Up, Water
May Follow

Bluffton sewer service charges
were raised 20 percent by village
council Tuesday evening, amid
hints from the Board of Public
Affairs that an increase in water
rates will be necessary soon.
Passed as an emergency mea-
sure, the new rates will be eff
fective October /.
At the same time a proposal to
increase the sewer service fees
for homes where cisterns are
used for part of the water supply
was abandoned.
Harvey Bauman of the BPA
said only a few hundred dollars
would be realized by this plan
and it would probably cost more
to set up and administer than it
would yield.
Sewer service charges will
now be 120 percent of the pres
ent water rates. Red ink figures
for the sewage system in the
first six months of 1859 made
the increase necessary, BPA
president Clayton Harkness re-
affirmed Tuesday evening.
A request for increased water
rates may come from the BPA
very soon, the members limited
Tuesday evening. Added ex-
pense in installing new lines and
necessary repairs to the water
works building on Harmon road
will bite deeply into their re-
ceipts. City water rates have not
been raised since 1850 although
operating costs have skyrocketed.
This was the third straight
week Mr.. Harkness had attended
council to point out the need for
a rate increase. Income has fall
len below the level satisfactory
to mortgage bondholders who
financed the interceptor sewer
system and they are asking that
action be taken to lift the in
come back to satisfactory levels.
Bondholders trustees notified
the BPA on April 3 that their in
come should be increased but
they did not ask council for
rate increase until July %.
Council delayed action for two
weeks, first suggesting that els
tern users should pay a higher
rate for their sewer service.
(Sewage rates are based on the
amount of city water used each
month.
The matter was returned to the
BPA for study. No action was
taken at last weeks meeting al
though the councilmen did study |
statistics presented on the num-
Der of cisterns in use in the |
village.
The request for the rate in
crease was brought up Tuesday |
for the third straight week but |
definite action was not taken
until clerk A. j. B. Longsdorf
read a letter from bondholders'
trustees outlining their position
in requiring an increase in in
come.

Church Discipline, Racial Stress, Atomic Energy
Among Problems MennOnites Face During Conference

AS the General Conference
Mennonite church meets for its
three-yearly session in Bluffton
this week, its more than one
thousand delegates have a num-
Der Of crucial issues for their
study. Included in these prob
lens are matters on church dis
cipline, racial problems, the use
of atomic energy, and further CO..
operation with other Mennonite
groups.
A lengthy statement of church
discipline win be presented to
the Conference encouraging a
moderate and wholesome pro-
gram of church discipline. This
report will be made by the Rev.
Jacob T. Friesen, Bluffton, chair
man of special committee ap-
pointed to study church dis
cipline. Other members of the
committee are A. E. Kreider,
Goshen, Ind; Cornelius ]. Dyck,
Elkhart, Ind; and Henry Poet
ticker, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The practice of church disci-
pline is for the purpose of main
tanning the spiritual health of
congregations and their men,
bers. The report warns against
the vindictive use of discipline
and pleads for a spirit of repent
ance and prayer on the part of
all members in their approach
to problems in religion and NOR
al life.
Studies in Church Discipline is a
book sponsored by the committee
which has been widely studied in
Mennonite churches.
Mennonites have sponsored
mission work and benevolent pro-
grams among people of other rae
es for many decades, but most
of this has been in other coun-
tries. Only in recent years has
attention been given to work
among the negroes in America.
Proposals will be made to
strengthen the denominations ne
gro work in Mississippi and Chi
cago. The extent to which racial
prejudice is prevalent among
Mennonites has not been meas
ured, though the fact that until
recent years the groups men,
bership was almost totally in all
white communities is an indica-
ton of some aloofness. Delegates
will be asked to subscribe to a
statement supporting racial
equality.
The use of atomic energy will
also be discussed in this session.
Mennonites have a long history
of resistance to war, doctrine
which has encouraged alternative
service rather than military serv-
ice for its young men. A vote
will be taken on a statement call
ing for the outlawing of atomic
weapons.
Among Protestants the Memo
mite bodies have been noted for
their divisivenesS and exclusive
ness. The General Conference
church was organized
one hundred years ago in an at
tempt to unite all Mennonite bod
les. In the shadow of their Cen
tennial celebration, the group will
assess their limited sue
cess in achieving this goal.
They will also need to evaluate
more recent ventures in Memo
mite cooperation including the es-
tablishing of the Associated Men
