Beginning of Home

Mr.. DeGroot recalled that
the Children's Emergency
Home started from a long for
gotten incident.
One evening a social worker
called Mrs. Jean Bennett, wife
of the mission superintendent,
and said she hs two little girls
who needed a place to stay
that night.
II have no facilities for TAX
ing care Of them" Mrs. Ben
nett said.
II thought your place would
take care of anybody" the
social worker insisted.
A short time before the Ben
netts had lost their own little
girl, and Mrs. Bennett told the
worker to bring the two chill
dren to the home. She did so,
and they stayed not for a night
but many years.
Someone heard of the in
cident and contributed $3.50
for bedding and furniture so
Mrs. Bennett could take little
children into the mission and
care for them. Out of this
humble beginning came the
present Children's Emergency
Home, now under the direction
of Mrs. Herbert E. Eberhardt.

Women Lend Hand

Mr.. DeGroot said money fol-
the mission farm and children's
camp at Brookeville, Md, came
from concerts given by Phillips
Lord, known as Seth Parker
in 1881.
The idea originated with
women of the mission, who had
John Bennett. mission superin-
tendent, approach Mr.. DeGroot
on the proposition.
my women want to bring
Seth Parker down to have a
concert and make money" Mr.
Bennett explained. What dc
you Think"
IF they were any other
women but our own, I would
say an emphatic no." Mr.. De-
Groot answered. But knowing
our women I say the best you
and I can do is to get out of
the way so they won't run us
down."
More than $12,500 was raised
by the three concerts and the
234-acre farm was bought.

menace, and erecting a new
structure on the same site at
624 Indiana avenue NV.
Mr.. DeGroot at first refused
to become chairman of the
committee seeking to raise
100000 for the new building,
but eventually agreed to take
the job.
On the morning the drive
was to get under way the then
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion employee walked into the
committee headquarters on
New York avenue NV, only
to learn the lady in charge of
the woman's division had re-
signed. DeGroot's consterna-
ton showed on his face.
Women Are Example
"You are upset because that
woman resigned" the lady who
told him the news said. Look
over there. The women are pre-
pairing for the work. Look at
the men over there. They are
figuring how to get out of it.
Why don't you get the men
started and you'll see. the
thing will take care of ITSELF"
Mr.. DeGroot, then president
of Central Union Mission, got
them started. He also induced
the wife of the Senator from
Illinois, Mrs. Selden Palmer
Spencer, to head the women's
division.
While the campaign was 60
ing on and its success still I'M
certain, Mrs. John S. Bennett,
wife of the missions superin-
tendent, one evening came to
Mr.. DeGroot and handed him
q check for 100000. 1t was
from Mrs. John J. Duff of
Washington, who gave the gift
for a wing of the new building
to be occupied by the Chill
dren'S Home.

The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1959-10-29
Black SpOts-Then Red Ones!

The untimely weekend rain, which emulsified
the asphalt street dressing applied only few days
earlier on several Bluffton streets, created moan
that could be heard clear to the Town Hall as house
wives found the treacherous black tar tracked on
living room rugs and throughout their homes.
Scarcely home in Bluffton, church or bust
ness place excaped the black tracks carpeting and
floor tile No looking for it, and in an instant,
it seemed housewives saw spots before their eyes
first black and then red ones.
This week village officials tried to explain that
what had happened in Buffton has occurred before in
town and country street work. County and municipal
road people of long experience told the story.
"It will happen every time if you get prolonged
rain before the asphalt seaer has time to set especial
ly if the water is worked under the asphalt by the
wheels of heavy traffic Suddenly it begins to pull off
the road The only means of stopping the action is to
block the streets to all traffic until they have dried
out"
Local officials believe that the only loss of ma
teria has been on Main street and this be rectl
fled.
The rain was untimely Tar spots on the rugs OF
the voters not popular at election time, but 1t
would be shame if the incident should reflect itself
in the baoting next Tuesday the 2mill extra tax
levy which officials and councmen feel unanimously
is needed for street improvements.
The street incident could have happened to any
village administration 1t has happened before and Will
happen again to others with far more experience IN
street maintenance.
The Bluffton News supported the 2-mill tax levy
for village operations last year. and sees no reason
why is not needed this year Municipal officials all
over Ohio are finding difficulty operating on old
evies Payroll taxes sought many places. Is there
any reason to believe that the pinch is not felt
in Bluffton?

MUSHROOMS have long been
a favorite topic of this column
especially in the springtime when
the tasty morel pushes above the
ground and nothing can restrain

hunter. 1t is hard to tell whether
mushroom hunters or fishermen
tell the biggest lies, but we have
always given the edge to mush-

OF course, in the fall there are
puff balls, but a veteran morel
hunter will turn up his nose at
the sight of one.
Nevertheless, this column at

CHORES

Men look through office and
factory windows these late-au-
tunn afternoons and remember
chore time on the farm. AS soon
as a lad reached home from
District school, he changed into
farm pants and old shoes and
went at the chores.
In the days when big, friendly
horses furnished power, chores
in fall and winter were done by
lantern light. 1t was taken for
granted that a 12-year-older
would help do the work and it
never occurred to him to object.
He hung the lantern on an
oaken peg in one of the uprights
of the main floor, climbed to
the scaffold and pitched down
enough hay for the night and
morning feelings. 1t was good
to hear the whinnying of the
horses and the impatient mooing
of the cows as they tossed their
heads.
A lad cleaned the cutters and
horse stalls, bedded the COWS
with fresh saWdust and the horse
stalls with oat straw. He filled
