'BluftOn Faces PIG
In Homecoming Tilt

Only one touchdown from a
winning season, the Pandora-Gil-
boa Rockets will bring their best
team in several seasons to Bluff
tons Homecoming Friday night
at Harmon field.
A last minute touchdown gave
Spencerville a 20-14 win over the
Rockets in the opener, then PIG
bounced back to hand Grand Rap
ids a 300 lacing. Leipsic, still
unbeaten, evened out the spiral
by clipping the Rockets 22-0 last
week.
In the McComb preview, and
again in their early games, the
Rockets showed a more coordi-
mated attack than in the past two
years, when they have haunted
the basement of the Northwest
conference.
Perhaps their most effective
runner is Rol Etter, an elusive
halfback who can mean much
trouble for the Pirate defense il
he can make his way around the
Bluffton ends.
Bluffton's 14-0 win over Elida
last Friday made them one of
the strong favorites to cap
ture the NWC title and also boost
ed them to the front as the maj
or target for each club for the
rest of the season.
Improved backfield perform
ance was the major factor in the
Pirates victory. Sluggish in their
first two games, all three Pirate
starters benefited from intense
work by coaches Frank Osborne
and Joe Harris last week. Re
suits were Immediately apparent,
as Marshall, Marshall and Logan
hit the holes with speed and pre-
cision.
Bluffton will be near their full
strength for the first time since

Passenger
Service Ends
October II

Local railroad passenger serv-
ice will become an item for the
Swiss Community Historical so
iety after October IT.
The Ohio Public Utilities CON-
mission has ended a year and a
half of hearings and studies by
granting permission for the Nick
el Plate railroad to discontinue
passenger service between Cleve-
land and the Indiana line.
Application to discontinue the
trains was filed in the summer
of 1858 but a strong protest move
ment organized by Bluffton and
other communities and the rail-
road unions delayed the action
for a year.
In the first hearing the PUCO
disapproved the request for a
continuance but after Indiana and
Illinois allowed the trains on the
same line to be dropped Ohio
fell into line.
Train number nine, the eve
ming train from Cleveland to
Coldwater, and number ten, the
morning train from Coldwater to
Cleveland will both be discon-
tinued after October II.
This marks the end of nearly
a century of passenger service
for Bluffton on the line.
The first trains on the Nickel
Plate, then known as the Lake
Erie and Louisville, came in the
late fall of 1872 and the commun-
ity has had passenger service for
the past 81 years. The AC&Y pro-
vided passenger service from
1883 to 1851.

Unfold Plan for 5000, 900
College Development Program,

The wrappings were removed
last week end at Homecoming
from plans of Bluffton college
trustees for a new campus de-
velopment program involving the
expenditure of nearly a million
dollars on new buildings and
facilities.
The 10-year plan was unfolded
before an enthusiastic alumni
audience at the Homecoming
banquet last Saturday evening
by DR.. Lloyd L. Ramseyer, presi-
dent of the college. 1t is aimed
at an ultimate enrolment of 500
students.
Ground breaking for new
$18O,000 music hall Saturday
morning was the first phase of
the program, Prexy told his audi
ence. He added that $145,O 900 of
the amount is already on hand
through special gifts. BY the
time the contractors complete the
new building, it is expected that
there will be sufficient funds to
pay for it.
AT the ground breaking Presi-
dent Ramseyer declared that the
plans are in the hands of the con-
tractors. Contracts will be let
this month, and it is hoped that
the first building in the new ex-
pansion program will be COM
pleted for use next fall.
Other improvements included
in the 100000 objective will be
an addition to the library and
equipment at a cost of about
100000; a women's and mems
dormitory, each providing space
for 60 occupants and each esti-
mated to cost $25O,OOO
Provision would also be made
to spend approximately $4,000
to remodel many of the existing
facilities, either to adapt them
for more efficient use or to
modernize them to meet the de-
mands of a contemporary educa-
tional program.
Named to head the committee
charged with raising funds for
the program was, James West,
executive vice president of the
Citizens Bank, Bluffton. Howard
Baumgartner, Berne,s Ind, sat-
torney, will be national church
chairman for the drive; and
Ralph Locher, director of law
for the City of Cleveland, is
national alumni chairman.

ment committee are L. L. Ram

Old Light Plant Used For

bly, Of certain parts for atomic
power equipment by the build
ing's lessee, the Ex-Cell-O cor
poration, it was learned this
week. ......
The old building, used for
several years by Ex-Cell-O for
storage purposes only, is now
being used in the erection of
banks of control rods used in the
nuclear equipment. The equip
ment consists Of a bank of
10 control rods some % feet
long actuated by a device which
travels them 30 inches up and
down at slow and rapid rates of
speed.
The rods are in a verticle posi-
ton and workmanship of the
components must be such that, in
spite of radiation, they will not
fail.
The verticle erection and test
ing of these control rods is what
determined Ex-CelI-O's decision
to do the work at the Harmon
road building. A high ceiling and
an opening into the cellar below
gives ample operating room.
In a managers report to en-

well as defense weapons is ac-
celebrating daily. 1t is also one

Plan UF Drive
For S8,ll9
October 1922

Plans were drafted at a meet
ing Of Bluffton Richland United
Fund directors Monday evening
at the Ex-Cell-O company of
fices for the annual four day
campaign to meet a goal of
$8,119.
The kickoff meeting has been
set for the opening day of the
drive, October 10, at a place to
be announced later, UF Presi-
dent Harold Klingler said.
Although the 1860 goal has been
set at S8,119, part of this will be
made up from surplus left from
last years campaign, and it will
be necessary to raise only ST.
392, he added.
The single drive is aimed at
raising funds for 10 participating
UF agencies. These are the USO,
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YMCA,
Heart Fund, Salvation Army, Red
Cross, CROP, Bluffton Hospital
auxiliary and the Medical Re-
search program. Richard Cook
son is campaign chairman.
Attending the Monday evening
planning session were MIR. Kim

Two possible well sites for the

Any site selected must have a
800 foot safety margin free from
possible sources of pollution, al
though the actual site does not
have to be that large.
