Three Bluffton
Co-eds Injured
In Auto Crash

Three Bluffton college co-eds
are recuperating from injuries
this week which they received in
an auto accident Sunday evening
enroute to Bluffton from con-
ference at the Indianola Avenue
Methodist church in Columbus.
The mishap occurred south of
Kenton on Route 81, and all three
girls were admitted to the Ken
ton hospital.
Miss Marilynn Weidner, a jun
ior from Allentown, Pa, suffered
facial bruises and cuts and the
loss of several teeth; Miss Mary
Anthony, a junior from Marys-
vile, suffered facial cuts and
bruises, and Miss Barbara
Crabbe, a freshman from Marys-
vile, suffered a fractured left
leg.
The auto driven north by Miss
Weidner crashed head-cn into a
southbound car which had been
forced into the northbound lane
by the sudden stopping of anoth-
er auto. Neither car was travel
ing at high rate of speed.
Although the three girls were
injured and Miss Weidner's car
badly damaged, no one was hurt
in the other auto.
Miss Weidner was discharged
from the hospital Tuesday to
come on to Bluffton college, and
Miss Anthony was permitted to
go to her home Monday. Miss
Crabbe was to be discharged
from the hospital and taken to
her home in Marysville Wednes-
day.

A possibility that village sew
age escaping from the recently
built trunk line system into
Little Riley creek may be re-
sponsible for the loss of one COW
and the critical illness of another
on the Myron Motter farm, was
being investigated this week by
village officials.
Mayor David L. Risser told
village council Tuesday evening
that Mr.. Motter had advised him
of the incident. Mr.. Motter said
that the first COW was disposed
of without an analysis of its
stomach content, but that if the
second one died, he would have
it tested to determine whether
sewage may have poisoned the
animal.
The mayor and Police Chief
William Gaiffe were to look over
the village sewer on the Motter
property to ascertain whether
sewage might be escaping into
the creek.
1t was pointed out at council
meeting that the village is pro-
tected against loss in such ac-
cidents by insurance coverage.
The incident recalls earlier
litigation over the matter of the
pollution of the Little Riley creek
back in May, 1851, when Mr..
Motter filed suit for SIS, ZOO DAM
age caused by loss of livestock
and damage to 55 acres of bottom
land used for grazing.
Later litigation also arose over
a right-of-way thru the Motter
land for the new sewer. Both

of what the true American is like
and what are the personal fea-
lures that go into the making Of
the best type of United States
citizen.
At the present time we can
point with pride to the splendid
colony Of Continental citizens who
have chosen to abide among us.
This is Enthusiastically a direct re,
suit Of the tourist development
program. These people are maxi
ing their presence felt in all
phases of our island life. Manv
are active in various branches Of
business, real estate, building con-
struction, hotel MANAGEMENT, en-
tertainment, etc; while others
have sunk their roots deep into
our soil, thereby testifying to
their abiding faith in our islands.
In this way they are not only in
spring the native population with
the hope for the future, but also
blazing trails for us toward wider
horizons Of achievement and pro-
gress for all.

One of the most important
benefits to be derived by the Vir-
gin Islands from the periodic
iaunts of Continental tourists to
its shores is the valuable oppor-
tunity these very select people af-
ford the inhabitants of the islands
for observation and study of the
working out of certain principles
and attitudes that lie at the foun-
dation of American life and
manners; or as Dean Howells has
called it. "the more genial aspects
Of American life
The temptation to judge the i'm
portance of the tourist trade
mainly from the financial point Of
view is perfectlv natural when
the exieencies Of the economy of
the islands are taken into consid-
Grafton: hut the footloose Ameri-
ran tourist. as he hops from resort
to resort, is, to my mind, more
valuable as an eloquent apostle
of the peculiar wav Of life Of his
country than as a liberal dispenser
Of greenbacks.
It cannot be denied that we, in
this area are, of necessity, in a
state of tlltelage in so far as a
proper understanding and appre-
citation of democracy is concerned.
1t can also be safely assumed that
every tourist is, or ought to be, a
representative American, fully ac-
quainted with the norms of his
country, politically, socially and
otherwise.
Now, it is a matter too vel
known to require repeating here,
that wherever the true American
citizen goes, he carries his demo-
cratic ideals and attitudes along
with him which, sooner or later
cannot fail to influence the lives
Of those among whom he may
sojourn.
It may be objected at this point
that the stay of the average tour
ist to our territory is altogether
