The Tahlequah Star-Citizen from Tahlequah, Oklahoma • 1

OKLA. CITY. OKLA. The Tahlequah St Official County Publication Thursday. September 18, 1956 132nd Year Number 28 Sequoyah Meets Westville In Only Home Game Of Week Coach Rex Sumner's Sequoyah Indians will open their 1958 football season here Friday afternoon with the Westville Yellowjackets.

Game time at the Sequoyah field southwest of Tahlequah, is 2:30 p. m. It will be the only football action here this weekend, with Tigers To Meet Vinita Friday Verdigris Valley and regular schedule play for the Tahlequah Tigers will start Friday night at Vinita. A good many fans, and the high school band will follow the team to Vinita for the game which begins at 8 o'clock. Last year Vinita defeated Tahlequah 19-14, but like Tahlequah, that team has only two regulars back in action this season, and players are reported the light side.

Vinita opened its season last week in a non-conference game with Picher, losing 8-1. Coach Bennie Kiger was pleased with action of his Tigers in their game here last Friday with an alumni team. In a good defensive game, the Tigers won 12-6, but three players received knee injuries which will prevent them from starting this week. Ken Thornton, halfback, was most painfully injured and may be out for the season. The others, David Vann, FB, and Jerry Allen, LH, are expected to see limited action for a while.

In the match with the alumni, Allen scored both touchdowns for Tahlequah, one on a 60-yard play and the other, 75 yards. Looking especially good on defense in the opener, were Joe Baker, Clark Molina, Harvey Chaffin and Bill Larmour. Because of the injuries to the backfield starters, Kiger has had to do some shifting in his lineup. Derrell Smith will be moved up to the first string backfield; Bill Mayes has been shifted from guard to fullback and Johnny Carlile moves to the first squad as guard. Economic Rights Film Is Seen By Kiwanians "It's Everybody's a colored film depicting the "economic of American citizens, was presented for the Kiwanis club program at its Sept.

17 meeting. The film, sponsored by the chamber of commerce, graphically describes the basic principles of American competetive business life in a manner which, while entertaining, also effectively portrays the economic privileges which employers, employees, and consumers enjoy in a free enterprise economy. Kiwanian "Casey" Van Fleet, Key club advisor, announced that a district convention for the senior high boys organization would be held at Okemah on Sept. 28. He also invited Kiwanis members to attend the Key club's weekly meetings, on Tuesday evenings, at 7:30 at the senior high school.

Waning Summer Is Damp, Chilly Cherokee county had a nippy foretaste of fall in the waning summer season this week, following another extended shower period. Tahlequah W. O. Young, U. S.

weather observer, recorded precipitation totaling 1.61 in the three day period beginning Monday. By day his measurements were: Monday inch; Tuesday 1.07 inch and Wednesday .42 inch. The rainfall had both good and bad effects. It helped fall keep and vegetation green, what ter pasture and cover crops that were planted, growing, and reduced the menace of fire which comes at this season. On the other hand cropland which had not been planted, was too wet for working, and the rain brought a slowdown of concrete pouring on the new portion of US62 south of town where Amis started the Friday.

Skies began clearing Wednesday and the weather bureau forecasts a warming trend the remainder of the week. Warmest temperature of the past seven days came Monday when Young recorded a maximum of 88 degrees. Young's record of temperature extremes for the past seven days shows highs and lows as follow: Thursday 86-70; Friday 83-65: Saturday 82-56; Sunday 85-64; Monday 88-66; Tuesday 82-68. After the low of 52 degrees Wednesday morning, Young's thermometer was out of order so that the official high was not recorded yesterday.

OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY HISTORICAL BLDG. Oklahoma Column Maybe from a peek into his crystal ball, Thurman Wyly, the comes up with this prediction for the future of Tahiequah "We'll end up about like Fayetteville" A retirement and college town about the nice comfortable size of the Arkansas city. While favorable weather was keeping Eastern Oklahoma beautifully green this summer, it produced as part bountiful of that greenery, the most crop of weeds we ever had. Granting that even a weed has its place in nature, and may be pretty by comparison with dry burned vegetation, as member of the sniffle clan, we'd like to register a protest and start an organization for the annihilation of the offensive pollen shedders. If some of pretty weeds go in the movement, we can stand the loss.

Seriously, nothing is so unsightly as meadows, pastures and cropland grown up in weeds, which all too many of them are this year in Oklahoma. Compare the weed covered acres with the beautiful patches of fall grains or maturing soybeans and grain sorghums at this season. Whether the pollen aggravates your nostrils or not, you will surely agree that a weed control program is the big need of this scenic section. After Mr. and Mrs.

J. N. "Buster" Lamons had sold their grade dairy herd last week, they found themselves back where they started as a young farm couple 35 years milking one cow. There were other cattle on the place, to 1 be sure, but now, as then in the beginning of their farm career, they were down to one cow to supply milk for home cooking, drinking and making cheese and butter. Mr.

and Mrs. Lamons started out with that one cow and 100 acres of land and a lot of ambition and energy. In time they added 40 acres and eventually 190 more acres farming operation, and 'steadily increased and improved their dairy herd. In the course of the years, they reared four sons and two daughters, all of whom are married except Billy who entered college this year. Billy was associated with his father in management of the dairy during his school days, and earned many honors as an outstanding young farmer.

With the last of their children leaving the farm, Mr. and Mrs. Lamons quite naturally would like to try a type of farming a little less confining than dairying, which has no holidays. Eventually, Mrs. Lamons explains, they will probably go into stock cattle raising.

At present they still have some of their dairy cattle for breeding stock, but not for milk production. The farm west of town will continue to be home for them. Mr. and Mrs. Lamons have no plans for leaving that for retirement in town.

Are you a the accosted one, was." Persons Blood- Typed At Farm Bureau Booth The Cherokee County Farm bureau women sponsored a blood typing booth at the county fair on Sept. 10 and 11. A total of 770 people had their blood typed and many volunteered for the "walking" blood bank list for Cherokee county. Mrs.

Charles Ross is of the farm bureau women and Mrs. Dan Cox is chairman of the health committee. Medical technologists cooperating with the typing project were Mrs. Lucy Jones, Miss Aubert Byers and Jim O'Dell, Tahlequah city hospital laboratory; Mrs. Betty Wamack, medical center laboratory; Mrs.

Dorothy Foreman, laboratory; and Daniel Wade and Boggus Whisenhunt, Hastings hospital laboratory. The farm bureau women are making plans to continue the project, with emphasis on increasing the blood bank list. Anyone wishing to volunteer for the "walking" blood bank of Cherokee county may have their blood typed free at local clinical laboratories. Volunteers should be between the ages of 18 and 65, in good health and weigh over 115 pounds. They will receive a personal health record card with their blood type and Ph factor.

Appointments for the blood typing may be made by calling the following laboratories: Tanlequah city hospital laboratory, phone 12; Medical center laboratory, phone 1234; Hastings hospital laboratory, phone 1441, and Masters laboratory, phone 1188. County Loses Dairy Herds; Agencies Say It's Normal Tahlequah senior high school going to Vinita, and Northeastern going to St. Joseph. The Yellowjackets, who used to be on the Tahlequah high school schedule in NOAA, opened their season last week by defeating Watts 8-0. Last year the In- Redmen To Play Saint Joseph's An injury and flu-plagued foe and a decisive victory over Rolla School Mines boost the Northeastern State college Redman chances for a win over the strong Saint Joseph's college this weekend.

The Redmen will meet the Pumas Sept. 20 at Rennslarr, Ind. recent news release from Pumas camp reporta, that 13 members of the were exteam's game Sept. 14, and pected timshe out for the Indiana that some of the injuries will keep regulars out of the Northeastern game. Injuries claimed four men, including three starters, from the Pumas' game with Xavier college.

The only two sophomores who were slated to start, guard Vince Goeddeke and halfback Larry Williams, collided at top speed in an unusual accident on a pass defense maneuver. Williams is expected to be sidelined for the game with the Redmen. End Hank Alesia because of a shoulder injury was the third starter to miss action Sunday, and reserve center Leon Dues was out with a leg infection. In addition, nine men were hit by flu in varying degrees of severity. Included in those bitten by the flu bug was Ken Bates, first string tackle and All-Indiana Collegiate conference selection, and his sophomore understudy Vic Roos.

In view of all this, Coach Bob Jauron has held only 27 minutes of contact work since Sept. 1 and does not plan on more because of the shortage of manpower. Even he had to revert to the before practice, started this fall one platoon system because of a lack of depth and experience brought about by the loss of 19 lettermen. He has been able to alternates seasons, two but units this for year the ver past tually his entire reserve strength is composed of 21. sophomores.

There are 13 lettermen in the Puma camp, including six startters from last year's squad which compiled an 8-1 record the second straight season and won its third consecutive Indiana Collegiate conference championship. The starting lineup will probably consist of nine lettermen, including the six 1957 starters, and two sophomores. Says Jauron, "Our present squad can't equal the 1955 team, which had a 6-3 record and tied for the conference championship. Our situation is not similar to my first year here in 1954, when we started eight freshmen and managed to win five of nine." The Redmen walloped the Rolla School of Mines by the score of 20-3 in the Redmen's first game of the season Saturday, Sept. 13.

The Redmen had a little trouble starting to roll, but once underway they were in control of the situation throughout the game. The Redmen had no trouble moving the ball on the ground, rolling up 289 yards rushing with halfback Dan Smith and fullback Deloyd Reed doing most of the ball carrying. In addition Northeastern made 114 yards in the air, giving them a total of 408 yards gained in the game. Rolla tallied 94 yards rushing and 86 on four four passes for a total yardage of 180. Mrs.

Only three regulars from last year are back this season, but the newcomers want to play football and even more boys would be out for play if there were enough uniforms and equipment for them. "Speed is all we've Sumner said this week as he groomed his lightweights for split play.

The Indian coach has drawn from all four high school grades for team material and his fullback spot will likely be filled by a 14-year-old freshman, Elliott Pulliam of Duncan, who weighs a comparatively 143 pounds.

New '59 Buick On Display Friday First of the 1959 model automobiles, two restyled Buicks, go on display in Tahlequah Friday at the Parker Motor company showroom on South Muskogee avenue. The Parkers have one car each in the Le Sabre and Invicta series for introduction of the Buick for 1959. The Le Sabre is the lowest priced in the Buick line and the Invicta is the medium priced model described as the "most Styling of the new Buicks bears slight resemblance to 1958 models. The grill suggests the past model, but from there back the lines are sleeker, lower and longer looking, with a sloping line of chrome molding the body from hood to tail lights. One of the most noticeable features of design of the new Buicks is the single color or blended tones which replace the patchwork painting on models of the past several years.

Improvements have also been made in the power flow transmission, the wildcat engine, suspension, and brakes. Air cooled aluminum brake drums of the new Buick are made to eliminate excessive heat and brake Sale of the (Buster) Lamons dairy herd last Friday climaxed a season which has seen dairying take somewhat of a setback in Cherokee county, where it had become a major agriculture industry in recent years. The Lamons' herd was one of the largest and best in this vicinity, and its loss, on top of a number of dairy sales in recent weeks effects a sharp curtailment grade production in Cherokee county, only temporarily. Lamons' dairy herd sale, biggest held in the county this summer, included 56 cows and heifers plus one bull, mostly purebred Holsteins. It followed by just two days sale of 25 dairy cows and heifers, mostly Holsteins, by Bill Sellers, east of Tahlequah.

Carl Greenhaw, auctioneer, who conducted both sales, said practically all of the cattle sold went out of the county and area, as they have been going in sales in recent months. Among other dairy cattle sales held in county in recent weeks were those of H. R.

Opinions on effects of the rather large number of dairy cattle sales on the dairying industry in Cherokee county, are in contrast. Most agriculture agency Tablequah FFA Wins State Honor Recognition as one of nine outstanding chapters in the state of Oklahoma, came to the Tahlequah Future Farmers of America and Soil conservation district, from the Bankers service life insurance company last week. The Tahlequah FFA chapter, sponsored by Charles Hathaway, was selected for honor during the state fair at Oklahoma City on basis of excellence of its written report submitted in the contest.

Other state area winners are chapters from Alva, Marland, Fairland, Cordell, Konawa, Moss, Tipton, Marlow and Ft. Towson. Statewide winning chapter in the contest will be disclosed at the state fair Sept. 22. FFA chapter reports from Oklahoma show the members have contributed to: A total of 176 soil conservation films were shown 330 times with an audience of 3802 FFA members and 3487 adults.

The nine chapters held 88 community meetings with a total attendance of 4045. The chapters sponsored 33 community tours with a total attendance of 582 people. The nine FFA chapters sponsored 123 different contests in which 2929 people participated. The chapters placed 351 displays and exhibits featuring soil conservation. These chapters put on 10 radio and six TV pregrams during the contest period.

The nine chapters sponsored 117 activities in observance of week, soil stewardship week and' the organization of the soil conservation district. These chapters cooperated with their local SCD in 72 activities furthering the application of soil conservation practices. Polin-Backed Bill Gets Pocket Veto A bill to provide federal aid to chronically depressed areas, including 16 eligible counties in the state of Oklahoma, was pocketvetoed recently by President Eisenhower. The $279,500,000 measure cleared Congress in the final days of the recent session. Paul Wm.

Polin, eastern Oklahoma developer, pointed out the distressed conditions existing in eastern Oklahoma counties to Congressional leaders while the measure was being presented to Congress. Polin said this week that the measure will be presented again to the next session of Congress and urged individuals and organizations supporting this legislature to write their Congressmen and make known their feelings, in order to assure passage of the bill in the next session of Congress. As approved by Congress, the depressed area measure included: $200 million in loans to spur industrial development in economically depressed urban and rural areas. A $75 million a year program of grants to help such areas build new public facilities. $4,500,000 a year to provide technical help in programs designed to spur employment.

Known as the Area Redevelopment Act, the bill was designed to help industrial and rural areas throughout the nation which suffer from high levels of unemployment and underemployment after year, in good times and bad. Approximately 16 Oklahoma counties would have been eligible for loan funds under the program. Revival Begins Sunday At Hulbert Methodist Church The Rev. Reabel Childers of Muskogee, a well-known rural pastor-evangelist, formerly pastor of various churches in Cleburne, Searcy, Stone, and Van Buren counties in Arkansas, will be the evangelist in the revival at Hulbert Methodist church beginning at 7:30 p.

personnel see no important change in the dairy picture. They say it is a normal turnover, with farmers getting out of dairying being replaced by newcomers getting into it. Admitting that a large number of cattle have gone out of the county, they point to numbers of farmers who have added to their dairy herds and others who are just getting established in dairy production. Some of the sales, observers point out, are prompted by the current high price of good dairy cattle. Owners who expect to quit in the next few years anyway, go ahead and sell out early while prices are high.

Other good reasons such as deaths of owners, also have caused some of the sales. In some instances, retirement, or a desire of farmers to take to an easier type of farming or livestock raising, has brought on decisions to sell dairy herds. In the case of Mr. and Mrs. Lamons, their motive was to take things a little easier after 35 years of farming and 19 years in the grade milk production business.

But their cattle commanded a good price, with a top of $420 paid for one cow by Coleman Kirk of the Chotsky Bottom farms. Buyers were plentiful, coming mostly from Siloam Springs, and Wagoner areas. In contrast to the optimism of agriculture agency personnel, some farmers and cattle traders think the dairy industry is slipping in Cherokee county. They point out that good years such as 1957 and 1958, cannot overcome the losses which hit the industry in the preceding drouth years. Except for the long-established dairyman, they claim high costs of cattle, feed, production and even land itself, make it difficult for milk producers to show a profit on investment and labor.

Prices paid for milk, some say, too low for production costs, are, the high retail prices are the result of middleman costs. On the dimmer side, observers concede. dairying, like any other business or industry these days, requires lots of capital and the small operator has little chance of success.
