The helpful cash, most of which
has been saved on a systematic
basis for Christmas gifts, is ac-

of the Pandora business would be
closed by next Monday. The PAN
dora plant will be closed down
Friday and Monday for inven-
tory, and the new management
expects to take over Tuesday.
In acquiring the Pandora
plant, Farmers Grain will more
than double its storage capacity.
The Pandora grain silos have a
capacity of 100, 900 bushels COM
pared with Bluffton's $4,000
bushel capacity. The Bluffton
operation, however, includes
more grinding and allied busi-
ness. Grain drying facilities
similar to those at Bluffton will
probably be added at Pandora.
The Pandora firm has been
operated in recent years by Mrs.
Mary Jane Pifer and her son,
Edgar. The latter died this sum-
mer, and the business was listed
for sale. Farmers Grain was re-
ported to be the high bidder.
Mr.. Tschiegg said that the
Bluffton firm had not been con-
sidering such an expansion
move, but a number of Pandora
area farmers had urged that they
consider expanding in that direc-
ton.
After the deal is closed both
plants viii operate under the
firm name, Farmers Grain Co.
Mr.. Tschiegg said that stock will
be available to farmer customers
of the firm, just as it was sold
in this area. The farmer stock
holders participate in earnings of
the company through dividends.

Tax Rates Drop
In Orange And
Union Townships

Real estate tax rates in ad-
joining Orange and Union town.
ships will be down 10 to 30 cents
per thousand dollars of property
value for the year 1859, it was
announced this week by the Han
cock County Budget Commission.
The local townships follow the
pattern of most townships in
Hancock county. A reduction of
one tenth of one mill, or 10 cents
per thousand, in the state tax
rate is largely responsible for
the lower rates. The state levy
is for the purpose of redeeming
bonds issued for payment of
bonuses to veterans of World
War II and the Korean war.
The Orange township tax rate
within Bluffton school district
dropped 20 cents, from $3.50 this
year to $3.50 for 1859; in the
Cory-Rawson school district, the
rate dropped 10 cents, from
$3.50 to $22.40.
The Orange township rate will
rise next year for those proper
ties in the Ada school district
where extra taxes were approved.
The rate will rise from $21.50 to
$24.00 per thousand.
In Union township, Cory-Raw-
son school district, the levy will
drop from $22.4O to $22.3O; in the
Village of Rawson, the rate
comes down from $24.50 to $24.20,
and in the Village of Mt. Cory,
the rate drops from $23.30 to
$23.2O.

Birds Most
Scarce In
Many Years

Hunters were more scarce in
the fields about Bluffton Monday
than on any opening day in re-
cent years - and so were the
pheasants.
Apparently foreseeing the scar
city of game, hunters and the
sounds of their Shotguns were
conspicuous by their absence
Only a few reported sighting
birds, although a fair supply OF
cottontails furnished sport for
those who took to the field.
Mild temperatures and only a
drizzle of rain in the afternoon
marked the opening day, but
even the pleasant weather failed
to attract the usual number OF
hunters.
Those who were successful in
spotting a pheasant or two re-
port finding them in the bitches.
Few were seen in open fields.
Among the fortunate few to
get their limit of birds was Jer-
ry Augustine who bagged two
cocks and three rabbits while his
father, j. w. Augustine, got one
bird and four rabbits. The Au-
gustines, hunting with a party of
Rawson men, probably saw the
largest flock of ROSTERS in the
area. They reported kicking up
Is along a ditch.
Another party hunting the
bitches had good luck. Jerry
Edinger is reported getting one
cock and three rabbits; Ronald
Edinger, one cock and two rab-
bits; and Jim Edinger, four rab-
bits.
Some local nimrods reported
that there seemed to be more
birds in the lush cover provided
for them in Putnam county, than
in the Allen county farmlands,
but no one reported unusual sue
cess even there.

In a unanimous decision, the United
States Supreme Court ruled that the Ma
tionaI Association for the Advancement of
CoIored People need not reveal the names
Of its rank and file members to any state
agency. The same decision lifted the $780,
900 fine levied against the NAACP for re-
fusa to turn its membership lists over to
Alabama officials.
The NAACP, the Court held has
made an uncontroverted showing that on
past occasions revelation Of the identity OF
it's rank-and-fiIe members has exposed these
members to economic rePrisal, loss OF en-
pIoynent, threat Of physical coercion and
other manifestations of public hostility.
The Court said that under these cir
cunstances, the klAACP would be damaged
if compelled to reveal the names OF its mem
bers and would not be able to carry on the
program which it has the right to advo-
cate
The Court said that if the NAACP

ship and others would not join because OF
fear of exposure.
The Court then ruled that the NAACP
does not have to reveal its membership list
to any state agency.
Therefore, no state, including Arkan-
sas, may legally require the NAACP to turn
over its membership list. Any state laws re-
quiring the NAACP to do so are unconstitu-
tionaI. This point has been settled once and
for all in the Alabama case and the decision
applies to all states.
Anyone can now join and be active in
the Association without fear of having his
name and activity revealed to hostile state
officials or to private persons.
The Court recognized the vital reIa-
ton between freedom to associate and Pri-
vacy in ones associations"
Now is the time to join the Association
