Long Search for Music Teacher Ends PRICE -PANEL
DIRECTORS ARE SCARCE BUT HOLDS DOWN
SCHOOL BAND TO PLAY 4kGAINILIVING COSTS
Madill high school will have e I
band director this year Yes sir not
just someone to come in for' a
week or two to help out but a real
honest-to-goodness band director
who will be able to handle both In-
strumental and vocal music
Superintendents the state over
are claiming band directors as the
worst war casualty They are its
scarce as hens' teeth and harder
to find than nylons M C Col-
l has spent the summer writing
other schoots to find a drector and
his replies Indicate that only one
out of every ten schoob that had
bands previously will be able to
have one this year
However after writing letters to
practically every high school in Ok-
lahoma Mr Co Bum was able to
find not just an ordinary band di-
rector but one who graduated as
the to student in her class This
outstanding young lady is Miss June
Jacquelin Brower graduate of
Oklahoma College for Women in
Chickasha
Miss Brower tomes to Madill very
highly recommended and her school
record shows her to be a very cap-
able dependable woman She was
a member of Pi Beta Kappa hon-
orary religious fraternity and be-
sides her major in music education
she also has a major in Latin
Her professors feel that she is
competent to direct activities of the
band chorus glee club operettas
and orchestra
Raymond L Culp professor of
music education at O C W says:
"Miss Brower has shown that she
has what it takes to complete a
job once she has started it She
would be a valuable member of any
community in which she could work
as a director of young peoples ac-
tivities Instrumental music vocal
music or the combination of both
She could succeratully play organ
for a church and direct a church
choir
- "In off-school hours Miss Brower
would be as great an asset to a
school system as she would be dur-
ing the school working hours"
In recent years the glee club and
chorus met at irregular home 2uut
to attend the practice students had
to miss their classes They were
excused from these classes of
course but the arrangement was
not very satisfactory This year Mr
Callum said both activities would be
assigned regular places on the
schedule and all students interest-
ed in vocal music would be able
to arrange their classes '3o that
they could include glee club or cho-
rus in their regular schedule A
class in music theory will also be
offered this year

Workers Needed to
Make Surveys on
Prices Charge'd
People who complain bitterly to
the neighbors but never bother to
report a complaint to the proper
authorities are the chief bane of
the OPA price panel one of the
the county war price and rationing
board
Work of the price panel is little
known because its Anvestigations
are carried on quietly but Fred C
Blalock chairman says his organ-
ization gets results and the ration
board office has the figures to back
up his statement
Customers Apathetic
A price panel action can be mo-
tivated in two ways—as a result
of r survey made by the panel mem-
bers themselves or upon complaint
from a consumer Consumer - com-
plaints are not numerous—usually
not more than three or four a
month The complaining Li all done
to the neighbors instead panel
members say
Public opinion seems to be that
Its just a waste of breath to report
an overcharge M'r Blalock mid Ac-
tually he pointed out adjustments
are made in all cases where the
consumer's complaint is legitimate
Assistance Is Asked
Local price panel members are in
need of assistance in making price
surveys throughout the county
Paid employees are not available
for this work and for the panel
members to make all the surveys
would require all of their time Con-
sequently volunteer workers are
used in each county to make the
I used in eacn county to make tne
' various surveys
Marshall county has only a few
volunteer
workers and many more
are needed Any citizens who feel
that they can give even a small
amount of time to this work are
urged to volunteer their services
Names may be left with Harry
L
Lawrence panel member or at the
OPA office
Offenders Fined
IThe panel is empowered not on-
ly to secure refunds for overcharged
consumers but to penalize the deal-
er by levying a fine Usually there
Is no fine for a first offense if the
dealer shows he violated the price
regulations through ignorance of
the proper price or by mistake A
second offense may draw a $25
fine and a third offense is likely to
cost a $50 fine or three times the
amount of the overcharge (which
goes to the United States treasury)
and make the offender subject to
further action by the district OPA
In other cases the panel may
fine the offending dealer only the
amount of the overcharge or it
may go as high as three times the
amount of the overcharge There
is no refund to the customer in
cases where the overcharge is dis-
covered by the panel itself Neither
Is there a refund if the customer
does not wish to attach his name
to the complaint
Refunds Are Secured
During the past month the local
panel has obtained refunds total-
ing $9870 One local grocer was
lined $25 for violation of price reg-
ulations Only one refund was made to a
customer—a $1280 refund on a car
purchase I
There would have been many
more n4funds and the pnogram
would have operated better if per-
sons who were overcharged for
merchandise or services had only
reported the fact to the OPA it
was pointed out
During the past month 37 gro-
eery stores were checked and four
were found to be inviolation of
ceiling prices The four drug stores
in the count all were found in com-
pliance but two of the three
cleaning establishments checked
were found to be out of line on
small items They immediately re-1
turned to the ceiling prices I
Deer Drinkers Just Gripe
There is Indication that some
beer parlors are violating ceiling
prices the panel reports but no-
body has as yet been willing to
make a formal complaint to the
board
As soon as definite Information
is received beer prices will be
brought back into line—if there ac-
tually is any violation—the board
said Chief difficulty in beer sales
appears to be that warm beer is
being sold at the same price per-
mitted for iced beer If that is
true the panel members pointed
out it is in strict violation of
ceiling prices and will be stopped

nounced in the next few days ac-
cording to Jack Reirdon manager

the big motors could be started
this week-end
The locker plant is located on the
north side of the square in the
building occupied for many yenta
by the Butler-Jones Insurance ag-
ency Construction of the plant has
been underway all summer but de-
lays in shipment of machinery de-
layed completion of the work

Drill Stem Test
Being Made Today
Opening of a new oil field east
of Madill was seen as a possibility
this week when favorable showings
were made on the Magnolia No I
Neff well zw se nw sec 25-5-5
Whether or not this location
would prove to be a different struc-
ture from the Aylesworth field re-
mained to be seen however It is
much deeper and whether It would
mean a new field or an extension
of the Aylesworth area could be
determined only after offsets had
been drilled
Drill stem test nu being made
on the well this afternoon Mag-
nolia geologists are of the opinion
that the well Is in the third sand
of the Bromide section They point
out however that one of the char-
acteristics CI the Aylesworth field
is its erratic sand structures
Depth of the well is 5365 feet
Oil men were watching with ex-
treme Interest the drill stem test
being made today
Word was received here Tuesday
that ?fr and Mrs Lou Vargos are
the parents of a baby boy The

CITY ADDITION -
Land South of
Town Considered
for Development
Plans for a new addition to Ma-
dill are being considered at the
present time by a group of Madill
businesz men and although Itoth-
ing definite has been accomplished
as yet it is belie e1 the efforts Will
result in suitable bailing sites in
the near future
Mad 11 has been severely handi-
capped in its current building pro-
gram by the shortage of suitable
llots While authorization has been
received for immediate construction
of 30 new homes here the con-
struction is being held up because
suitable lob are not available
The new addittion now being
considered is a plot of ground Just
south of the present city limits—
land owned by Mr and Mrs Jack
Reirdon It adjoins Highway 70
The proposed addition would start
at Whiakey creek and take in the
area between there and the high
bluffs to the south
E Lee McKinney engineer has
ben isployed to make a survey of
LLc Lind and plat the proposed ad-
onion In addition to laying it off
Into city blocks and platting streets
and alleys he also will make a sur-
vey to determine approximate costs
for sewer extensions water and el-
ectricity No definite decision concerning
the proposed addition will be made
untl after this survey is completed
and given careful consideration it
Is emphasized
If the area is found suitable local
interests plan to go ahead with the
development grading the streets
and installing all utilities before
any of the iota are offered for sale
to the public
Plans are being made to push
the development as rapidly as pos-
sible because the need for building
sites is so acute
