He is assisted by Robert Ewing
and Morris Triplett.
Scoutmaster of Bluffton troop
256 is Donivan Augsburger, who
is leaving in two weeks for train
ing before entering career Boy
Scout work. James Benroth is
assistant Scoutmaster. Advisor of
the Explorer post is Ben Schiffke.
Supervising the overall activity
of Scouting in Bluffton is the
Troop committee, which is pres
sently headed by Clair Michel.
The first unit which aspiring
local Scouts can enter is the Cub
Scouts, for boys from 8 to IL. At
101a they become Webelos, the
most advanced rank in Cub
Scouting, and at IL they are ELI
gible to advance to Boy Scouting.
They are active Boy Scouts
from IL to Ia and are then ELI
gible to move up to the Ex-
plorer post. Each advancement
is voluntary.
Adult supervision is an import
ant part in the local Boy Scout
movement, although the boys
take more and more responsible
ity as they advance from troop to
to troop and rank to rank.
At the Cub Scout level much of
the monthly planning is done by
the den mothers, who meet
monthly with their assistants and
with the Cub Master to layout
the advance work for that month.
Nearly so boys are enrolled in
the six local Cub packs, which
are divided roughly along neigh
borhood lines. The boys enter as
Bobcats and then advance to
ratings of Wolf, Bear and Lion.
Thirty-seven boys are presently
enrolled in Bluffton troop 256, one
of the largest enrollments for
some time.

BIuWOn 1eener Is
Ports NeaUest Pilot

Two years of doing the menial
jobs OF a grease monkey"
around the Bluffton Airport have
paid off in big way for 16-year-
old David Blank.
Nights after school when other
kids were drinking cokes with
their girl friends or practcing
in the gym Dave Blank was busy
swabbing down planes at the air
port, keeping the fuel tanks full,
sweeping down the hangers, and
making himself useful in general.
OF course the job held some
cash remuneration, but more inn
portant than that was the chance
to fly one of the airport birds
himself.
Last Tuesday Dave was 16.
That meant he was old enough to
get his student pilots certificate.
Old enough to solo, too.
Dottie Anderson, Dawes in
structress, said the youngster
was capable of handling a plane
long ago. Now that it was legally
permissible, she felt no reluc-
tance to seeing him take over the
pilots seat alone.
Dave TAXED out to the runway,
warmed up the engine, turned in
to the wind and scared over
Bluffton. His landing was perfect.
At the age when most boys are
getting a thrill out of taking the
family car out by themselves,
Dave Blank is plotting plane.
Are his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Blank worried? Not at all.
They have confidence Dave
knows what he's doing and will
do it well.
His object is to complete high
school where he is now a sopho-

that he will become director of
the Putnam district, part of the
Put-Han-Sen area council, sue
ceeding Bruce Miller who will go
to the Seneca county area. The
Augsburger family will continue
to live in Bluffton.
Augsburger is Scoutmaster of
the local Boy Scout troop, which
has grown rapidly since he be-
came the adult leader two years
ago. He began his interest in
Scouting as a member of the
local troops in the 1940's.
George Bohrer, who recently
took up his new post in Buck
hannon, West Virginia, had been
Scoutmaster of the Bluffton troop
for six years. Last February he
received the Silver Beaver
award, the highest honor which
can come to an adult Scout
leader.

executive work is BerneIl SIa.
