Directors Elected
The Sportsmen’s club has started
•on the program of 1945 after con
siderable revamping of departments
and expansion of its conservation
set-up. To date 37 directors have
been elected adn some additional di
rectorships yet to be filled. Consid
erable activity is planned for the
Buckeye quarry in cooperation with
the town council and Lion's club to
promote the park feature and to
give financial support to the manage
ment of the swimming facilities.
Soil and water conservation de
partments have been added to the
club and stress will be made to help
•check the receeding water table in
the area thru the planting of trees,
building of dams and conservation of
woodlots. As an aid to wild life,
patch planting of food shrubs, plants
and trees will be encouraged and the
club will make every effort to aid
the State Department of Conserva
tion.
Complete revamping of the kitch
en at the club room is planned, bet
ter to handle the fish frys and game
suppers which are becoming more
and more popular with the member
ship.
In order to carry on the greatly
expanded program ahead of the club
this year, Aldine Kohli, club presi
dent, urges each member to make it
his obligation to get one other per
son interested in the program of the
club to join up in '45. The club last
year had a record of 726 members
and this year if each member will
obtain another member, $726 addi
tional will be available for the use in
the conservation program.
Officers and directors of the club
elected for 1945 are as follows: Pres
ident, A. E. Kohli Vice President,
.Silas Diller Secretary, Leland Diller

Christmas Trees Gathered
A truck load of Christmas trees
was gathered last Saturday after
noon from the homes of Bluffton by
Justin Johnson and Bob Wyer. The
trees will be used at the Buckeye
quarry for construction of fish pro
tection areas in the quarry and to
build wildlife feeding stations near
the quarry site. The truck was fur
nished through the generosity of
Gerald Foust, of the Mobiloil Gas
Station on North Main street.
Bluffton Fishing Derby Planned by
Sportsment
As a result of the keen interest
manifested last year in the fishing
contest sponsored by the Sportsmen’s
club and merchants of Bluffton and
nearby communitites another contest
on a larger scale will be held again
this year.
In preparation for the Derby near
ly 150 legal size fish of thousands of
“lunkers” released in the Buckeye
quarry last fall were each tagged
with a small metal tag bearing a
number. Prizes ranging from War
Bonds to merchandise prizes will be
offered to the lucky angler who will
be able to catch the fish and produce
the tag.
The contest will open early this
spring and club members and boys
and girls under the age of 16 years
will be eligible to compete for the
prize bearing finny denizons. Plans
are in progress to offer nearly $500
worth of awards in the contest.

Here Are The Fads You Must Consider
The Army is furloughing to The Ohio Steel Foundry Company
a large number of soldiers to help make, chip, grind, inspect,
and prepare for shipment, the steel castings that are so vitally
needed at once for our fighting forces across the seas.
These men will not be enough, your help is imperative now!
Your country needs you—men and women of Allen County and
vicinity. Production schedules of vital steel castings must be
met. The sooner we do it the fewer of our fighting forces will
die. What are you doing in the war effort? Come on out to
our plants and see for yourself what part you can do. Make
it a personal point not to let our boys down!

Campus Wildlife Cafeterias Are
Hubub of Activity
The four feeding stations located
on the college campus are a hubub
of activity as wildlife flock to the
grain loaded cafeterias for food.
The area surrounding the feeding
stations are a maze of criss-crossing
animals and bird tracks. Birds of
many descriptions—cedar waxwings,
turtle doves ,starlings, blue jays,
sparrows of many kinds, pheasants,
quail and a myriad of others fre
quent the feeders daily. Many rab
bit tracks abound and squirrel tracks
are numerous.
Grey and fox squirrels can be seen
at the feeders especially near the li
brary, at all hours of the day.
Feed has been generously distribut
ed to the stations and during the
holidays. On New Y’ears day while
Prof. R. A. Lantz was away on va
