NWC 'Came Of the Year" Sends Grove
Against Pirates Friday at Harmon Field

er clubs and Columbus Grove is
certainly one of the stronger, if
not the strongest club on the
schedule.
Dwight Nichols and Jim Alt
staetter may be the most explo-
sive pair of running back the Pi-
rates have faced. Lynn Darby
shire, a slick passer who engi-
neered the Bulldogs only touch
down against the Pirates last
year, has been tuned up for Bluff
ton and may finally be ready to
appear after being kept out by
illness practically all year.
Almost as crippling as the in
juries have been mid-season
slumps by some of the Pirates.

Red Feather Victory Scored
AS 1860 DriUe Goes OUer Ton

For the third consecutive year
the Bluffton Richland United
Fund drive reached its goal with
little difficulty Thursday evening
at $50. 1t appeared, however,
that the total receipts might fall
somewhat under last years
mark.
Executive Secretary Woodrow
Little said that the drive reached
its goal after an audit of receipts
and pledges Tuesday totaling
s., ,422.85. This carried the drive
$30.S2 in excess of the S7,392.03
goal.
The goal, however, is S727. 7.19
under the actual 1860 budget for
support of 10 participating agen-
cies. UF directors announced at
the beginning of the drive that
this amount would be turned
over from last years surplus.
Mr.. Little estimated that sew
eral hundred additional dollars
will still be received in the final
stages of the drive. There were
some business and residential re-
turns still to be made.
The drive, conducted under the
Craftsmanship of Richard Cook
son, thus far has netted S5,075. IS
in cash and pledges totaling ST.
BAT.
The industrial solicitation -
mainly at the Triplett Electrical
Instrument Co. and Ex-Cell-O
Corp. plants - yielded nearly
half of the entire goal - 1885,
25. Incomplete returns from the
solicitation of local business
firms showed receipts of $685.
so and from house-to-house So
licitation, S1,471. The canvass is
not complete in the last category.
Gifts from industry and indus
trial employees were up nearly
$500 this year over last years
$3,075.50; gifts from business
firms thus far are running nearly
$500 behind last year, S1471 COM
pared with $1976; and the resi-
dental canvass is running near
ly 5000 behind last year, $2,385
compared with $2,9
Anyone who has not been con-
tacted in the campaign may
make their contribution by no
tifying Mr.. Little and obtaining
a pledge card.
Mr.. Cookson also announced
that any amount contributed to
the UF automatically makes the
donor eligible for membership in
the Hospital Auxiliary. Persons
who may have overlooked asking
for a membership card in the or
ganization, may receive one by
calling Woodrow Little.
I'VE are gratified with the re-
suits of the campaign this year
and on behalf of the UF organ
iZation extend a sincere Thank
You to all who have contribut-
ed so generously and to all who
nave assisted in making the third
drive a success" Mr.. Cookson
and Harold Klingler, UF presi-
dent, said in a joint statement
Tuesday.

Construction of Bluffton col
lege's new Music hall is expect
ed to get underway by Novem-
ber Is, it was announced late
Tuesday afternoon when con-
tracts were awarded on the new
building.
The general contract was
awarded to a Lima firm, c. M.
Dingledine, on the lowest bid sub
mitted, $125, ,416, DR.. Lloyd L.
Ramseyer, president of the col
lege announced.
The contract for the electrical
work went to the Suburban Elec-
trio company, Lafayette, on a
bid of $10,784, and DR.. Ramsey
er said the board of directors
awarded the heating and plumb
ing contract to Boughan Bros,
Lima. The total amount of the
latter bid was not completely es-
tablished because several deci-
sions were to be made upon
various alternates in the con-
tract.
Although complete figures were
not available, it appeared that
costs might exceed the original
estimate somewhat.
The building will be located in
the wooded area along College
avenue in front of old College
hall.

stocks were fractions to a point
or so.
The list staged a brisk re-
bound at the start after three
straight sessions Of serious de-
cline. But after the initial buy
ing was out of the way there
was nothing to sustain the re-
covery and prices milled in q
hodge-podge Of plus and minu:
signs.
Motors and steels were pace
makers at the start. They con-
tinued active in later dealing:
when most showed small losses
Some OF the space age stocks
and other wide movers re-
couped 3 to 6 points at the
start but few held gains later
The steel strike was in its
10th day. General Motors re-
ported its first plant closing
because Of the strike. Uncer-
tainties remained in regard tc
the outcome of Premier Khru-
