NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, VOL. VIII. ND. 22.
PRICE FIVE CENTS
fU OK0SS WORKS
FOR HOSPITAL TO
COME TO OKLAHOMA
The Norman chapter o[ the Red
Cross is co-operating with the Ok-
lahoma City chapter and the state
headquarters of the American Legion
in trying to obtain a federal hospital
lor Oklahoma, according to Mrs. K.
J. Keller, head of the Red Cross
office.
From Cleveland county alone there
are a dozen service men in hospitals
scattered all over the United States,
and there are a number of others
who would take advantage of much
needed hospital attention if they had
the opportunity to attend a hospital
in their own state, Mrs Keller thinks.
She is at present engaged in col-
lecting statistics concerning men
from Cleveland county that have not
gotten the attention that is due
them from the government.
"Many men are absolutely being
neglected by the government," says
Mrs. Keller. She cites an example of
one boy from this county who spent
months in the hospital in France
He was brought back to the I nited
States and kept in the hospital for
some time.
After he left the hospital he ap-
plied for compensation. After a long
wait, prolonged with red tape and
delay, he was informed that the com-
pensation board had decided that he
was not disabled.
He was at that time suffering from
a stomach ulcer, caused from gas, and
has about a dozen pieces of shrapnel
in his body.
He is unable to work says, Mrs.
Keller, and yet be must in some way
provide for a widowed mother. She
has not yet been able to convince
those in charge of compensation that
the government owes a debt to this
boy.
The compensation board merits a
large part of the criticism that it is
getting, she thinks, judging trotn the

SIX COLUMNS TODAY
RUT WHAT TOMORROW
because of inability to sccure sev-
en-column size of white newsprint,
the Transcript today is curtailed to
a six-column size, by cutting adver-
tising to the minimum, we are able to
make a six-column paper suffice.
While we have two week's supply
of white newsprint on hand, it is all
six-column size and is only good for
about two days a week. Other days
advertising contracts are in effect and
we necessarily have to print on a
seven-column size paper.
Brown wrapping paper of this size
has been secured and on days when
the present size will not allow the ful-
fillment of our contracts already
made, wrapping paper will have to
be used.
Jobbers report that they have no
experience that she has had in deal-
ing with conditions in this county
alone.
A number of these hospitals, cen-
trally located, will do much to re-
lieve these deplorable conditions, Red
Cross officials say.
