THE PRYOR THE PRYOR JEFFERSONIAN, PRYOR, DECEMBER 14, 1961 NEW LEADERS FOR DRAFTING CLUB AT Oklahoma State Tech, Okmulgee, a charter member of American Institute of Design and Drafting, look over the nearly completed plaque for their club meeting room. To serve for the spring semester are, left to right: Robert Parker, Eldon, treasurer; Ronald Sedwick, Pryor, secretary; Roy Turner, Pryor High School Library Equipped With Variety of Books For Students and "There are now over 3.500 while books in the Pryor high of school library," stated Mrs. Robert Ethel Qualls, high school librarian. She went on to say, "We feel that our library facilities meet the minimum needs of the high school students." The library has received over 175 new books this year including a new set of Encyclopedia Americanas and new books are being ordered regularly. The library houses a large selection of reference books.

Among them are volumes of the World Book." Pictured Encyclopedia," "Encyclopedia Americana," "Twentieth Century Authors, the "Dictionary of American Biography," and several dictionaries. Special reference books about science and mathematics are also found in the library. Mrs. Qualls orders and pays for these science and mathematics books by means of the United States Government's Title III plan. In this plan, the government, pays one-half of the cost of the new books and the local school funds pav the other half.

Mrs. Qualls reports that there are usually more than one copy of the most popular books. Among the books with the widest circulations are "The Robe" by Lloyd Douglas. "Act One." an autobiography by Moss Hart. "The Diary of Anne Frank." an adventure novel entitled "Death Be Not Proud" by John Gunther.

and "I Hear America Singing." a book of poetry by Walt JEFFERSONIAN VOLUME 55 NUMBER 3 Safety One of Best Christmas Gifts Motorists Can Give Says Commissioner Safety is one of the best Christmas presents motorists can give their fellow man, this Christmas, said Ray H. Page, state safety commissioner. Page explained that while holiday Chemical Control For Fire Hazards Around the Farm Chemicals will do a good job of making a fireguard around your farm, County Agent Howard Nelson advises. Demonstrations on the Oklahoma State university farm in Oklahoma City have turned up some interesting data on how certain chemicals can make fire barriers. Bill Lott, manager of the OSU demonstration farm at 10th and Portland, Oklahoma City, says chemicals were applied in the summer and fall to kill vegetation, thus preventing fire from spreading through this growth.

He also used chemicals to kill vegetative growth in fence rows, saving moisture and improving appearance of the place. Lott says farmers or others who want to see results of these chemicals are welcome to stop by the demonstration farm any time. He adds, however, that it is too late to use chemicals this year for this purpose, since they must be applied to vegetation while it is growing. The farm fires superintendent says al study of 400 involving destroyed buildings shows at least 25 percent of them could have been stopped by properly prepared fireguards. He recommends a clean strip of about 10 feet in width as an effective guard.

For those who want to have the protection of a fireguard this fall and winter, vegetation may be cleaned off or burned off and do the same job that chemicals accomplish. There is some danger, however. in using fire to make a fireguard. Extreme care must be taken to prevent the fire from getting away.

"It's a yearround proposition." He recommends following one basic rule--maintain an average taxable income from year to year. "This means avoiding extremely high or extremely low income years," he explained.

"One way to do this is by taking advantage of capital sales, such as the sale of breeding, dairy or draft animals that you have owned for 12 months or more. On capital sales, you only pay taxes on one-half of the profit." Explanation of federal income tax regulations on capital gains and other private enterprise income is included in "Farmers Tax Guide for 1962."
