DEV. L. FRANKLIN WHITE.
* ' former pastor of the First
Christian church in Yukon, with
Mrs. White and their daughter,
Lucy Anita, will sail from 8an
Francisco, Calif.. Sept. 20 on the
S. S. President Coolldge for the
Central Provinces of India to do
missionary work.
Rev. and Mrs. White now are
attending Hartford seminary in
Hartford, Conn., where they will
complete their course in the
College of Missions on June 1.
They expect to make a visit to
Yukon sometime in August.
This should have been report-
ed earlier, but possibly there are
some who still haven't heard
about it.
When Fred Wewerka was de-
clared a prize winner for his
costume at the Amity club's pio-
neer dance a week ago, he was
presented with a live, pedigreed
game rooster. But Fred didn’t
recognize the gift as being a
fighting cock; he thought he had
won Jast another barnyard fowl.
So the next day. the Wewerkas
served a big pot of rooster stew
at their house.
It was foul play for a fight-
ing fowl. Amity club members
insist.

The widened portion of U. 8.
highway 66 between El Reno and
Banner should be ready to open
for traffic before July 1 and may be
ready for use shortly after June
1, Van T. Moon, state highway de-
partment engineer, told the As-
sociated Press Saturday.
Concrete bases have been laid over
the 4.4 miles east of Witt's corner
to a point just west of Banner,
and only laying of the asphalt sur-
face remains for completion of
the project. „
- ,
The asphalt can be laid in from
30 to 80 days, depending chiefly on
weather condltlcns, the state en-
gineer said.
Width Now 32 Feel
Formerly an 18-foot slab, the
highway will be widened seven feet
on each side and made Into a 32-
foot hard-surfaced road. Ditches
and fences were moved back as the
first step preparatory to widening
the highway.
Concrete slabs with slight curbs
along the edges were built seven
feet out from the old pavement
along the route, and asphalt will be
poured over the entire 32-foot j
width.
Coat Is 3172.000
Cost of the widening project was
set at $172,000 when the contract
was let by the state highway com-
mission to Merveldt and Lawson,
El Reno contractors.
An right-mile detour north
through Banner Into El Reno on
East Foreman rond. resurfaced at
a cost of $50,000, has been used
since last November when work be-
gan on the widening project,
Highway officials have expressed
hope of making eventually a four-
lane highway from Banner east
to the Tenth street cutoff east of
Yukon to handle better the ex-
tremely heavy U S highway 68
traffic between El Reno and Okla-
homa City.

A last hour “flash flood" of filings
today raised the number of primary
election candidates to 833.
The end of the 10-day filing
period found the statewide races
for the Democratic nomination for
congressman-at-large and corpora-
tion commission muddled by fa-
mous and "trick" names.
William H. Murray, former gov-
ernor. who filed several days ago
for congress-at-large against In-
cumbent Will Rogers, will find a
similar name on the ballot with
his, William A. Murray, an El
Reno farmer, filed in the race to-
day.
Four Shaws, All Told
A Will Rogers of Sapulpa filed
for the Democratic nomination for
corporation commissioner and
when the election board closed the
filing books there were four Shaws
In the race, one of them A. S. J.
8haw, Incumbent, who seeks re-
election. Twenty-seven persons have
filed in this race.
Josh Lee. a Seminole carpenter,
filed for congressman-at-large,
which race also had a Will Rogers
from Moore, the incumbent, a Will
Rogers from Oklahoma City and
an Elmer Thomas (same name as
the U. S. senator) from Stllwell.
In the corporation commission
contest, there also was a Brigham
Young of Oklahoma City.
“There Oughts Be a I-aw!"
As the filing rash ended. Gov-
nor Leon Phillips said one of the
major tasks of the next legislature
would be to revamp election laws
to prevent "shadow name" filings.
The governor expressed pleasure
' at the heavy filings.
"I am very well pleased with the
interest of citizens everywhere In
the legislative races." he said.
"There Is a general public Interest
and I believe it means a good leg-
islature—one that will be amenable
10 the welfare of the state.
“I am not much concerned about
the administration being at Issue.
It will not be in enough places to
hurt."
His suggestion revamping of the
election laws would Include provi-
sion of a filing fee for candidates
for office, or some sort of selective
system to bring about the return
of the runoff.

whether the Nazis might be feel-
ing out allied strength there in
the wake of the allies' defeat in
Norway.
The French report on the fight
said it took place on Friday night
and was accompanied by artillery
fire to both sides In the Moselle
and Biles river sectors.
Alllex Are Taunted
Livening up of the western front
came as Nazi Germany, already
Hushed by triumph In Norway,
taunted her enemies further with
claims that Oerman dive bombers
had sunk a Britain battleship of
the 30.000-ton Queen Elizabeth
class In three minutes off Namxos.
Norway.
Nazis went on to claim that a
total of nine British warships or
transports were sunk or damaged
badly by air attack as the allies
strove to transport their with-
drawing forces out of central Nor-
way.
These claims for the power of
the Nazi airfcrce brought the re-
tort from British sources that they
were "of the fantastic character
to which the public is fast becom-
ing accustomed."
Action Dies In Norway
Action died in war riddled Nor-
way except In the area around
Narvik. Stockholm military experts
predicted the next move ol the
Oermnns would be a push toward
Narvik.
Reports from there said the
allies were closing in on a weak-
ened German force and that allied
naval vessels are bombarding
them.

declared Britain “will continue
fighting In Norway with great
