slates, carried a licking Chickasaw Nation here in what is now Oklahoma. And the twins know all the family history and the neighborhood gossip (or history if you prefer) all the way back. "We didn't do any reading or when we were children." writing, tell you. "When the old folks sat around the fire at night and talked, we sat with them and listened. And we committed it all to memory." With that training in memory work, it's small wonder the Colberts can recite the history of Leader School without a bobble.

Especially when you remember that they're Americans and that Americans have a kind of passion for schooling, for education. It made an impression on the Colberts; and they remember it all. The twins, by the way, though they have long since lost connection with the Leader School itself, still have a strong interest in the school building. It's used for the community church now and Jim Colbert has been pastor there since 1944. John was pastor from 1925 to 1944.

So in one way or another, there have been Colberts mixed up in the affairs of Leader for a mighty long time. Mud Looks Beautiful To Frisco Folk FRISCO The Frisco Ho me Demonstration Club had just got set up to serve refreshments at a farm sale Monday when it began to rain. The sandwiches were made, the pies cut and the hot dogs hot. Then the sale was postponed until next Monday. But the cool rain made the hot dogs taste exceptionally homemade pie is always a favorite, SO the club went on and served anyway.

While everyone was crowded around eating and visiting, Mrs. Emily Hisaw said, "Isn't that the most beautiful stuff you ever saw out there on the ground?" Someone, after looking around, said, "'What stuff?" Emily replied, "That mud." Everyone was about half wet, but there was a smile on everyone's face and a thankful heart for the badly needed rain.

Markets Wall Street NEW YORK (P) The stock market was early this afternoon as turnover settled back to about the slowest of the week. Key issues, fluctuated from fractions to a point or sO.

Reckless Driving Charged to Two, Speeding to Third A Texas man and an Adan were handed summons to appear in county court on reckless driving charges. And an Antlers motorist faces nighttime speeding charges. The reckless driving cases were filed Wednesday in county court.

Robert Franklin Hatch, Roten, Texas, was charged with driving recklessly following an accident on October 12 two miles west of Ada on SH 13. Lewis Dewie Winters, Ada, 3, faces similar charges in county court: The violation, driving without regard to the safety of others on the road, occurred October 12 ten miles north of Ada on a county road, the charges relate. Clarence Allie Bates, Antlers county commissioner in Pushmataha County, was traveling at 80 miles an hour after dark when apprehended October 16 six miles west of Ada on SH 13, said charges were filed in justice of peace court of Bert E. Ratliff. State Highway Patrolman Aubrey A.

Mitchell signed all three complaints. Guardsmen Move Fast When They Hear 'Alert' Many Adans figured that prolonged and whistle sounds late Wednesday afternoon meant an "alert," and that's what it was. It sent members of Co. 180th Infantry, scrambling for uniforms and hurrying to the local armory. And they did it with such speed that in 1 hour and 35 minutes more than half of the unit was loaded up and ready to move out-last the same achievement required 2 hours and 20 minutes.

So fast did many get under way that the 1-alert-5 usually found the guardsmen calling around to notify his five learning that they were already on their way to the armory. 2nd Lt. Bennie C. Floyd, commanding officer of the unit, expressed satisfaction the quick response of the guardsmen, most of whom got their "call" through hearing the siren and whistle.

By BUZZY BONEHOUSE Sitting beside an Australian several days ago, I clearly saw that things one can read about Ameriin the eyes of other nations cans aren't poppycock. This fellow just from "down under" was about as close to Americans, too, as any Aussie you might find. For one thing, he is a sportsman; for anhe is a manufacturer; for other, another, his thinking is sales-mindand, lastly, he is broad minded; ed.

Like most American, too, he was to buy tickets. But this trying ought amaze you: He was trying to buy tickets to the Olympic Games to be held in Melbourne, Australia. He admitted to a ceramount of embarrassment, intain asmuch as he. in the sporting goods had to buy tickets in business, America, but the ducats are actualeasier to obtain here than in ly Australazness of America never to evoke wonder at the scale fails life and land here. As we talked, of he casually noted that so few Oklaand residents of other homans states for that matter know anything of Australia.

To that charge agreed. He was quick, in I readily broad mindedness, to his generous excuse us on grounds of living in such vast nation that knowa ing our own 1 land is a big assignment. But he lets us off far too easily. is just one example of Australia our ignorance. I am ordinarily 1 into consider the middle westclined ern American the most ignorant man on earth in relation to his opportunities to learn.

Well, it looks like the battle of the courts is drawing to a close. After the death of Claude V. Thompson, Democratic nominee for the legislature, the Demos fell to in an all-out intra-party fight. The Republicans did not nominate candidate. Through it all, there a has been a lot of talk about a legislator representing his district, about this being the American way, etc.

We furtively slip forward with this little fact: Your Congress(that is, Representative in man Congress) does not necessarily have to live in your Congressional district at all. As far as that is concerned, we could elect Congressmen much as Britain elects its House of Commons except for the force of tradition. But, the Republicans originally put forward an Oklahoma City man for Fourth District Congressman, but changed in favor of Harold Potter of Chandler. For a real vicarious delight, quicken your pulse and fill your nostrils with a little salt air by looking at a fine travel folder. One from Turkey just passed our desk.

It filters momentarily all that is moribund out of my existence. W. B. Steelman of Oklahoma City, won the contract for the next leg in the city loop system, of highways. We heard one express willingness to gamble a cool fifty bucks that Steelman wouldn't bid low, and he didn't get a taker! This fellow figured that Steelman had lost money on South Mississippi while going through rock formations that were not cored in advance of bidding, and that the result would be an over-shot bid on the second leg.

But what happened? Steelman went under the engineer's estimate by over $40,000. And this same firm will build the next big section of the four-lane concrete by-pass, leading north, then turning west to cross State Highway 99 at the Fairgrounds. Someone said that it wouldn't work! The Ada Lions Club bought and installed a television set out at the Kallihoma Indian community for the entertainment of the many underprivileged people in the little settlement. While a wild western was showing, a couple of the men stirred a bit. They stepped outside.

No one seemed to suspect anything. After all, the building lacks certain facilities. Before even a could develop one had dropped the other wtih a .38 bullet in the hip. The victim spent a night in surgery at Valley View while the doctor tried to separate splintered lead from splintered bone. It would seem that these two guys, 50 and 62 years old, would have known better.

Neither would talk. If there was bitterness they would not admit it. Just a case of adult delinquency resulting from watching too many television crimes. Alas! Tears flowed fast after Ada High School's football loss to Ardmore last week. Then, a st Central lost a Homecoming game on top of it all.

Listen to Ol' Buzz, tough, men! I tell you there's hope. Here's why I know: On Oct. 6 of this year the University of Pennsylvania defeated Dartmouth College 14-7. Now, the last game that Penn won prior to that was en Oct. 24, 1953.

There's hope, 1 tell you! William H. Murray has returned to the earth. One of Oklahoma's Mrs. Clara Fike visited over the weekend in the home of her sister, Mr. and Mrs.

Most recent development in the grain program came this week with a boost in the rate of government participation to $1.50 per hundredweight. Previous rate was $1 per cwt. Bennett Sherrer, local ASC director, has announced that those who received grain orders earlier but had not yet used them could bring the orders to the ASC office have them reissued at the new and higher rate. Attorney Bent On Exhuming Victim's Body 0. T.

Maxey- Colberts Tell(Continued from Page 1) would have quarter-inch knots on it." As an alternative, older students were sometimes permitted to stand on one foot for an hour. "Choice of punishment?" Jim says ruefully. "'We had it!" Opportunity Hazards or not, young Colberts and all the other students too took it and liked it. Unlike some of today's youngsters they didn't think of going to school as a chore, or a necessary evil. To them, it was Opportunity, with a big 0.

"We wanted to, go to school," John explains simply. "We 'wanted to learn." So from 9 to 4, whenever they had a school to go to, they went to school. They came out of the old log house in 1903 actually in 1904, when a new term of school started. And in the spring of 1905, the current teacher, Edward Dobbins, set himself to work up a "government school." It was a labor of love: he went through the whole process of organizing a free school under Territorial law and then was unable to qualify as the teacher. September, 1905, saw Leader a free school operating under supervision of the Territory, with Mrs.

Lula A. Young of Ada as teacher. And the rest was comparatively easy sailing. The building most of us now know as Leader schoolhouse was built in 1915 and used until June 22, 1956, when integration of the county's schools ended Leader's existence as a separate entity and the students were absorbed by Lula and Stonewall. But the whole story, in vivid deatil, is still there in the minds of the Colbert twins, complete with names and dates.

In fact, a lot more than the story of Leader School is in those minds, Came In 1832 Nelson Colbert, the twins' grandfather, came to Indian Territory in 1832 with the Indians "with his old bosses." John explains. Their maternal grandfather was an even older resident: he was a Chickasaw freedman and was born here 1 in 1812. Nelson's father, the twins' greatgrandfather, was Daugherty Colfirst governor of the outstanding men; to this nearly everyone would agree. What niche history accords him only future generations will know. How great a statesman, author, historian, and leader he has been, it is hard to say.

He was certainly one of those figures that cannot be denied, that history must deal with. He possessed a fearless faith, even if sometimes a seemingly heartless tongue. Ada merchants of the Retailers, Division of the Ada Chamber of Commerce have agreed to advance the necessary two thousand dollars to stage again the tremendous Christmas Pageant at Norris Stadium. It would seem that the ministers might reach some clear cut decision on whether this pageant has the religious significance that is intended for it. (Continued from Page 1) time, the Maxeys produce 320,000 pounds of milk per month.

Experiment The working cattle at the moment are Holsteins, but Maxey is trying an experiment in crossbreeding them a Guernsey bull. in an effort to up the butterfat content of milk. Maxey owns 260 acres, 340. He has 60 acres in alfalfa, 25 acres in oats, 28 acres in Sudan grass (to be replaced with oats or rye and vetch for winter pasture now that a little rain has finally made it possible to do some plowing). There are 150 acres in pasture 41 in King Ranch bluestem and 15 in Midland bermuda.

"We try to sow about 40 acres of vetch every year for fall pasture," Maxey says. Since acquiring the land a little over five years ago, the Maxeys have cleared 35 acres of timber, built a diversion terrace a halfmile long, built three ponds, and straightened the creek. They have also built new corrals and done a lot of fencing all around the farm. Maxey is a firm believer in the use of fertilizer. He's had his soil analyzed in the county testing lab, and pours the indicated fertilizer to it regularly every year.

Average Yields Average yields in a normal year (not 1956) are, he says, about 100 bales of hay per acre, about 60 bushels of oats. In 1952, he received a DeKalb award for producing 119 bushels of hybrid corn per acre second highest in the county. The Maxeys produce a good deal of their own food, too pork and beef, and garden stuff from their one-acre garden lot, fruit from their orchard. And it's this kind of all-around achievement that won them the award, Maxey himself has served three years as a director of the county Farm Bureau and one year as president; three years as FHA committeeman; and years as president of the Latta school board. He was recently elected chairman of the Latta community ASC committee.

Charles Maxey has been in 4-H and FFA work at Latta school for a total of six years. The Maxey daughter, Betty Carol, is a second year student in home economics. And Mrs. Maxey is active in the work of the Latta Home Demonstration Club.

TULSA (P) Mayes County Attorney Bill Thomas reacting to offers of financial aid in exhuming the body of alleged manslaughter victim, Mrs. Chancie Jones, said he would make preparations for the disinterment in Tulsa today and "if I can't find the money to pay for it elsewhere, I'll pay for it from my own pocket. Earlier Thomas had said the body would not be exhumed bethe county didn't have the $300 cause needed to pay for the exhumation and an autopsy. Thomas' reversal came after offers of financial aid from Gov. Raymond Gary and from Chancie Jones, husband of the victim who is charged in Mayes County with manslaughter in her death.

Jones', attorney, Elmore Page, said his client was anxious to contribute to a fund to have the body exhumed "that he may be removed from any cloud of suspicion" in her death. Gary said the request for use of state funds, would have to be initiated Mayes County. Mrs. Jones was shot to death July 18 at the Tulsa couple's cabin near Locust Grove. Jones sold officers his wife was accidentally shot when a pistol discharged as he struggled with her for possession of the weapon.
