Page 8 THE ADA WEEKLY NEWS Ada, Oklahoma, Thursday, 19, IVtZ Local Store Plans To Add New Department The Clothes Corner, 115 W. Main, will expand its operations in the immediate future. Larry Floyd, owner and manager, said he would add a shoe department to the store. Floyd said the new department, featuring a wide range of nationally advertised brands, would be located at the front of the store. Floyd was associated with Halversons for nine years before he bought the Clothes Corner.

"The new department will make no change in the store's operation," he said. "We will not reduce or alter the type of clothing we now offer. We simply plan to add the new department for the convenience of customers and to facilitate their shopping." In fact, plans are also under way to enlarge the store's junior department. Floyd indicated he would probably hire at least one additional employe to help with the new shoe department and expanded operations elsewhere in he store. He hopes to have the shoe department functioning early in July.

Energy, Ecology Must Move Forward Together HOUSTON (AP) A top spokesman for oil producers says the nation's energy and environmental problems must be solved concurrently. J.C. Posgate, vice president for production for the American Petroleum Institute, says current domestic crude oil production is at virtual capacity with little if any to spare for emergencies or continued growth. "Failure to anticipate and develop solutions to the environmental issues inherent in oil and gas exploration and development, laying of pipelines, installation of deepwater terminals, and new refinery construction will only result in continued delays and uncertainty with a consequent weakening of industry's ability to supply the fuel needs of our citizens," Pos- gate said. "Our energy and environmental problems" are interrelated.

The nation cannot afford to handle these problems each is isolation from the other in a manner, for example, that would provide us ample energy at the expense of an unacceptable level of environmental quality, or in a manner that would provide us with a pure environment at the expense of inadequate energy supplies and a decidedly unwise national dependence on insecure foreign sources of oil." The vice president of Humble Oil Refining Co. of Houston said the nation must move ahead on both fronts at the same time. "The oil industry has the capability to do this and to solve both problems if given the right ground rules by government," he said. "What is needed is a coherent, coordinated national energy policy to provide an adequate supply of energy for both present and long term needs at a reasonable balance between costl dependability and protection of the environment." Posgate said oilmen must keep the public well informed of their options regarding future energy supply and must work cooperatively with government in reaching realistic, rational solutions to supply problems. "Our national energy problems are serious and the outlook is not bright if present policies continue," he said.

"Somehow we must convince and inform the public and the government of the need for action." Posgate said Texas during March will produce about 3.4 million barrels of crude a day. "At this rate, the state still has some remaining additional producing capacity but Texas and Louisiana, the two states with virtually all the excess capacity for the United States, have less than 500,000 barrels a day of spare capacity under existing rules and regulations," he said. "This capacity is declining due to the depletion of existing reserves." "With our near term requirements now growing at about 5 per cent per year, or about 750,000 barrels a day, it is apparent we are virtually at capacity," he added. Posgate said gas producers now are principally concerned with fulfilling commitments already made. "Present exploratory opportunities, under today's policies which limit prices for gas sold in interstate commerce and limit the pace of new exploration activities in federal waters, preclude much thought for expanding as markets," he said.

The motel currently has 37 units. Melvin Chilcoat, owner and builder of the motel, says the finished product of 61 units will be the largest in Ada history. "We've already got a bridal suite, conference room, tilings like that," says Chilcoat. "The new units will be standard ones." The motel already featured a swimming pool and restaurant. It will take 60-90 days to complete the new project.

The original installation was begun early in 1969 and completed in the spring. Ballots for selecting new board members for the Ada Chamber of Commerce were mailed at the week's end.

Drawing frequent applause from the more than 300 persons packed into a motel banquet room here, Bartlett criticized Harris repeatedly and also had some unkind words for Gov.

Noting that Oklahoma voters turned down the governor's highway bond issue last Tuesday by more than a 3-1 margin, Hall said that proved Oklahomans "are more concerned with honesty than with image and that they care more about can take nothing for granted." Oklahoma has never had two Republicans in the U. S. Senate at the same time, but Bartlett noted that Sen.
