Volunteers Needed
For Quarry Raking
Weed growth in the waterworks
quarry will be raked out of the
water in a volunteer work program
sponsored by the Bluffton Com
munity Sportsmen’s club, Monday
and Thursday evenings of next
week.
Volunteers are need to assist in
the project, with work beginning on
each evening at 6 p. m. under the
direction of Edgar Root Those as
sisting are requested to bring their
own rakes and ropes.
Larger rakes attached to winches
on tractors will be used to clean
out the center of the quarry.
Removal of the weeds is necessary
to assure unhampered operation of
the turbin cooling system at the
water works, and the program also
will be beneficial to fish life in the
pool. Chemicals placed in the water
earlier failed to kill the growth,
and the raking program is planned
as an alternative to use of stronger
solutions which would kill off the
fish population.

Setting for the mishap occurred
when John McVetta and Lee Hart
man called at the Ludwig home to
borrow the farm vehicle. Hartman
was driving the tractor pulling the
cultimucher and failed to notice the
youth jump onto the implement.
Losing his balance, the boy fell
into the cultimucher and was drag
ged for a short distance after his
foot had been caught. He received
treatment at Bluffton Community

F. F. A. NEWS
Seven Bluffton F. F. A. boys and

ald Leiber, Gerald Kaufman, LaVerne

Mushroom Hunters
Fly To Michigan
Bluffton mushroom-hunting enthu
siasts added a new wrinkle to their
usual springtime activities last Sun
day when a party of four flew by
airplane from Bluffton to Wellston,
Mich., where they made a find of
more than 600 luscious sponge
mushrooms on wooded Jiillsides near
the town.
Making the air trip to the Michi
gan mushroom mecca were Clayton
Bixel, pilot of the plane Don Ream,
Maynard ^Geiger and Dave Risser.
The flight’ was made in the Stinson
Flying Station Wagon owned by
Bixel.
Leaving here at 5:30 a. m., the
party of mushroom hunters landed
first at Cadillac. After being unable
to obtain an automobile at that
place, they flew on to Wellston where
they landed at a small private land
ing field.
Hunting in a wooded section on
steep hillsides, the group found more
than 600 mushrooms. Risser’s take
was about 170 which made a gallon
and one-half of mushrooms after be
ing cleaned and sliced.
An Open Letter
To the People of Bluffton
Dear Friends:
Much interest has been expressed
in the changes being made on the
Presbyterian Church lawn. I would
like to offer a word of explanation.
The young adult group in our
church adopted as its major project
for this year the beautification of
our church lawn. Surely you will
agree that this lawn could easily be
the most attractive corner in Bluffton,
and would be a cause for civic pride.
At present the grass is thin and
scarred by several unmarked paths.
The main path was well worn and
had become quite a watercourse. No
path across the lawn leads to the
basement door from the South. Yet
this entrance is used regularly by
children and adults of our church.
The church’s Trustees were con
sulted concerning the improvements
anticipated, and their approval ob
tained. The “outdoor committee” of
the Trustees approved the changes
in regard to the main path. This
path is now being rerouted up to the
church it is not to be taken out.
Plans are being made to plant ever
greens at the corners of the walk, and
to re-seed the lawn next Fall. In
the interest of our church and com
munity, and in order that our whole
lawn may be improved, I urge your
cooperation. If you wish to cross the
church lawn, please use the path
provided. Thank you.
