Seek To Enlarge Size
Of School District
(Concluded from page 1)
in which enrollment is outgrowing
building capacity.
Ask Transfers
In the proposal submitted by
Supt. Lanham, Richland township
area now in the Beaverdam and
Riley township school districts would
send grade and high school students
to Bluffton. High school students in
Beaverdam also would transfer to
the Bluffton school, but Beaverdam
would continue to operate a grade
school.
Three areas in Northern Richland
township, now in the Riley township
district, for which transfer to Bluff
ton is sought are Sections 31, 32 and
33. Those portions of the township
now in the Beaverdam districts
which Bluffton proposes to annex
are Sections 17 through 20, and 27
through 34 in the southwest area of
the township.
All of Orange township now in
the Mt. Cory and Rawson school
districts also would be transferred to
Bluffton should the proposal be ap
proved.
Seek Orange Twp.
This would include all of the town
ship except a portion one and one
half miles wide in the south part of
the territory now in the Ada school
district.
Bluffton once had a considerable
high school enrollment from Orange
township when the state board gave
pupils a choice in the matter of at
tending high school. However, about
12 years ago the rural schools of the
township were abolished and the ter
ritory was attached to Bluffton, Mt.
Cory, Rawson and Ada districts.
The re-districting program was the
center of much controversy at the
In the proposal a the state de
partnlent, Supt. Lan!1am pointed out
that Bluffton has apacity for 500
nielli school students and present en
rollm ent of 2W. Grade school capa
city 1icre is 350 and cnrollment 260.
Also, he pointed out that the bonded
debt on Bluffton’s present high
schoo 1 school buildinj% will be retired
in 1952.
Mt. Cory—No Comment
According to figures from the
state department of education,
Beavcrdam school, grades 7 to 12,
inclusive, have an enrollment of 91
pupils Mt. Cory an enrollment of
130, and Bluffton, 227.
Richard Severance, superintendent
of Mt. Cory schools, declined com
ment when informed of the Bluffton
proposal to annex Orange township
territory. He said the matter of
territory transfer had not been con
sidered by the Mt., Cory board of
education.
Although there has been some dis
cussion of building an addition to
the present Mt. Cory school, facilities
there a¥e adequate to accommodate
about 25 more pupils in grades 7
to 12, present enrollment of which
is about 135, he said.
Paul Stoodt, superintendent of the
Beaverdam school said the matter
of redistricting had not been con
sidered by the board of education
there and had no comment except to
state that present facilities of the
Beaverdam schools are adequate to
accommodate about 50 additional
students.
Bodies Of Two More
Soldier Heroes Home
Bodies of two more Bluffton area
war heroes are among 5,864 being
returned from Europe on the trans
port, Lawrence Victory, which dock
ed Sunday in New York harbor.
First Lieut. Gerald N. Faze, son
of Floyd Faze and a grandson of the
late Al Faze, of Bluffton, is one of
the heroes whose body is expected
to arrive in Allen county within the
next week. His parents live at
Route 5, Lima.
Another from this district is Pfc.
Melvin Hilty, Jr., son of Mr. and
Mrs. Melvin Hilty, Box 444, Pan
dora.
Both soldiers originally were inter
red in military cemeteries in France.
“Once burned, twice shy” seems
to apply to farmers in the cornbelt
where farm land prices have not yet
reached the high point of values set
in 1920. Cornbelt farm lands took a
bigger percentage cut in value from
their 1920 level than did land in other
areas when the bottom dropped out
after 1920. Farm purchases in 1948
are being financed by about half
cash and half mortgage, which leaves
land purchasers in many sec
tions owing more than $100 an acre
on farms bought.
