What's the Matter Wi. \ Reno?
.By K. J. D..
S'
^yHEN we were youngsters and we took a pell of
T moping around, didn’t want to go to school or do the
chores, and our appetite fell off, our mothers knew just
what to do. A dose of castor oil straightened us out in
a hurry. ,
For the past week or two, we’ve been hearing some-
one ask almost daily. “Wiiat’s the matter with El Reno?”
or “What’s come over this county, anyway?” And after
thinking it over, we’ve come to the conclusion that as a
community we need some of that same old home remedy.
There isn’t a thing wrong with this community that a
good laxative wouldn’t cure. For Webster’s definition
of a laxative is ‘a loosening up,” and that’s about all we
reully need in this community.
El Reno and Canadian county rank high in material
wealth. Our schools are as good as any in the state.
We have fine churches, well supported and well attended.
Out citizens, both town and rural, are as good people as
anyone would want to iTnow.
But somehow recently, we just don’t seem to have
that old sparkle. We’re just not on our toes like we
have been. Our community reactions are way below par.

'J'AKE this county war fund drive, for instance—in
past years Canadian county has gone over the top
with a bang. This year it seems to lie falling with a
dull thud. Where workers got dollars in 1944, they’re
getting conversation—and some of it not too polite—
this year.
And it isn’t because we don’t have the money.
Latest bank statements show deposits in the county at
an all time high. It can’t be that the cause isn’t a
worthy one. It’s the same cause to which we contributed
cheerfuly and generously last year. And we can’t alibi

Thousands upon thousands of our boys and girls
are still overseas. Thousands more boys are being in-
ducted almost daily and will be heading overseas as soon
as they finish their training. Just because Hitler and
his boys have succumbed to lead poisoning and the “Son
of Heaven” seems destined for another abode, doesn’t
mean that the job is finished by a long shot.
It’s going to take a lot of soldiers and a lot of time
to wind this thing up properly and those of us who are
old enough or lucky enough that we haven’t had to fight
and won t have to do international police work, should
at least contribute our share to help out those who have
done and are doing those jobs. J
* * *
|)ON’T look for reasons for not giving. Figure out a
few why you should. If neither you, nor any mem-
ber of your lamily, has had to go to war, you should be
so thankful that you’d give freely, if you or some
member of your family has been to war and back,
there’s another cause for a gift of thanks. If you have
some member of yourvfamily still in service, you surely
want to do your share to keep the little pleasures and
necessities of life going to him wherever he is. And if
you have lost a loved one in service, a gift to the war
fund would be a fine gesture as a tribute to the memory
of that loved one.
Let’s prove there’s nothing wrong with El Reno and
Canadian county. Let’s loosen up and put this war
fund campaign over.

General Motors
Employes Favor
Strike in Vote
Executive Board Is
Authorized To Order
Work Stoppage
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Employes of General Motors
corporation In plants throughout
tire country voted 70.853 to 12.431
yesterday in favor of a strike to
support the demand of their union
for a 30 percent wage rate In-
crease.
The figures, announced today
by the regional national labor;
relations board here, bore out
earlier predictions of both the
corporation and the United Auto-
mobile Workers (CIO) that a
work stoppage would be favored.
Walter P. Reuther, UAW-CIO
vice president, said in a statement,
lrowever, that it did not mean
an immediate strike. Only the
union's international executive
board, he said, could authorize a
strike, and It would not do so
“unless and until our attempts to
arrive at a peaceable settlement
fall completely.”
As the ballots in the General
Motors vote were being counted
a strike vote was being conducted
by the NLRB among employes oi
22 Chrysler corporation plants.
Flights Cancelled
American Airlines' transcon-
tinental and trans-Atlantic service
was threatened today as ground
crew’ workers began walking out
in sympathy with workers in the
company's export branch.
Flights between New York ancj
Chicago were cancelled yesterday
after Chicago mechanics and main-
tenance workers quit work to sup-
port 575 striking New York em-
ployes of American Export Airlines,
an American subsidiary. Overseas
flights ware maintained, but it was
doubtful whether London w’orkers
would service the big DC-4s for
the return night.
Tlie strikers, members of the
United Automobile Workers, arc
seeking a 40-liour week with the
same pay they have been receiving
for 48 hours.
Other Developments Noted
Another airlines strike, of Pan-
American Airwavs employes, ended
last night when 2.000 CIO trans-
port workers voted to call off a
two-day work stoppage. With the
end of this walkout, 228,000 U. S.
workers remained idle.
In other labor disputes. AFL
teamsters union members threat-
ened to impair freight deliveries
from Boston to Richmond. Va.,
and Hollywood film craftsmen
celebrated tlie end of a bitter 33-
week jurisdictional dispute.
Tlie teamsters, already out in
Baltimore, Md., called a strike
against 13 Washington. D. C..
trucking companies to back wage
demands. Unless settled promptly,
the dispute threatened to lie up
freight deliveries all along the
eastern seaboard.
In other west coast labor dis-
putes, shipyard workers threatened
to paralyze operations in San
Francisco bay area vards. The
AFL Bay Cities Metal Trades
council demanded a 40 percent
pay boost, and CIO and AFL
machinists joined in demands for
a 30 percent wage iiike.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 25—«J.P
—The Oklahoma Railway company
lias been sold to a newly-formed
company composed of an Okla-
homa City oil man. tils wife, and
a state bus line president, it was
announced today. The transac-
tion involved an estimated $2,500.-
000.
Eugene Jordan, city oil man, his
wife, Julia Jordan, and Tom Bow-
ers, president of the Oklahoma
Transportation company, bus line
operators, purchased the Oklahoma
Railway company, including all jits
facilities and holdings.
Tlie transaction, which was com-
pleted yesterday, probably makes
Jordan, his wife, and Bowers the
largest transportation system oiier-
ators in the state, since the trio
purchased the Oklahoma Transpor-
tation company bus lines last June
for approximately $1,600,000.
In Receivership Six Yrars
The Oklahoma Railway company,
operator of the interurban system
from Oklahoma City to Norman.
El Reno and Guthrie, and tlie city
street car and bus system, has
been in receivership for the past
six years.
A federal court hearing to bring
tlie transportation company out of
leceivership has been set for Nov.
5, at which time the new owners
are expected to supply approxi-
mately $1,300,000 to liquidate all
existing Indebtedness against the
company.
Jordan said plans were indefi-
nite as to whether the interurban
service to Norman. El Reno and
Outhrie would be retained.
‘•We’ll probably retain tlie in-
terurbau service to Norman,” he
said, "but if we should abandon
It on any of the lines, well prob-
ably replace this type service with
buses." He said he had an expert
now making a survey of the en-
tire Oklahoma Railway system
and would know more about fu-
ture plans in a month or so.
Improvements Contemplated
As It has been since its incep-
tion in February 1903. the Okla-
homa Railway company will con-
tinue to be locally owned and op-
erated althougii it will be the first
time that tlie common stock has
been held by such a small group.
Jordan announced that many
improvement^ are contemplated,
including the elimination of street
cars which will be replaced by
buses. Tlie street car tracks will
be removed as soon as possible.
A complete modernization of the
entire transportation system Is
planned.
Facilities of the company In-
clude 163 buses. 40 street cars,
and 27 interurban cars. More than
800 persons are employed by the
company.
Victory Day
Parade Set
For Monday
Event Scheduled
To Stir Interest
In War Loan Drive
Entries for the Victory day
parade which is to be staged at
3:15 p. m. Monday in connection
with tlie opening of the Victory
loan drive are many and varied,
H. B. Keller, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, said today.
Beveral units from Fort Reno,
Including mounted platoons, pack
animals, jeeps and other military
equipment, will take part in the
parade.
Other organizations which have
signified that they will participate
are the American Legion and the
Legion auviliary, the Veterans of
Foreign Wars. War Dads, the
negro American Legion post, Junior
and senior liighschool organiza-
tions, E3 Reno Lions club, the
Canadian county chapter of the
American Red Cross, and tlie El
Reno block leaders organization..
Committee Designated
Members of the parade commit-
tee are Colonel Frank Carr, Fort
Reno; E. R. Slocum. Walter P.
Marsli. Ferd Merveldt and Keller.
Paul R. Taylor, superintendent
of schools, said today that all
public schools would be dismissed
at 3 p. m. Monday for the parade.
Keller pointed out today that
tills parade is to serve as a kick-
off for the Victory loan drive
which will extend through Dec. 8.
and which lias a national quota
of $11,000,000,000. including a $4.-
000.000.000 quota for individual
Americans. ,
Argument Inadequate
The argument that "the war is
over" does not tell the whole story,
drive leaders pointed out. To fin-
ish the job which has been started,
the nation must have a Victory
loan to pay the bills for munitions
and material already delivered and
used, pay the cost of guarding
Germany and Japan, pay for tlie
care of the nation's wounded and
disabled, pay off and provide bene-
fits for 8,000,000 or more veterans
to be discharged by next July, and
to keep the lid on price inflation.
The aftermath of war carries
grave responsibilities that must
not be shirked, and in facing this
task every American’s help is
needed, leaders in the loan cam-
paign emphasize.

Tax Reduction
Dispute Arises
House Balks On
Senate Amendments
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 —(/P>—
Tlie house declined today to con-
cur in senate amendments to tlie
first peacetime tax-cutting bill
whicli eases wartime burdens by
about $5,500,000,000.
The measure now goes to a joint
senate-house committee to iron
out differences.
The complete erasure of 12.000.-
000 low income persons from the
income tax rolls In 1946 is assured,
however, as this is not in dispute
between the two houses.
As the committee of senators
and representatives took over the
bill the principal battles pivoted
on:
1. House insistence that con-
gress at tills time write only a
partial repeal of the war-imposed
excess profits taxes on corpora-
tions.
2. House belief that a definite
cutoff date should be provided for
the high wartime excise levies on
such things as liquor, luggage,
jewelry, furs and cosmetics.
The senate provided outright re-
peal of the excess profits levy but
declined to write a definite end
for the excises on so-called lux-
uries.

Remove Deficit
In Fund Drive
Canadian County
Still Lacks $5,000
In Reaching Quota
Leaders in the Canadian county

groups working In the drive in an
effort to clean up a deficit of
some $5,000 In the county's quota
of $19,500.
Wltn the campaign due to end
this week-end, every firm or in-
dividual in the county who has
not contributed to the fund will
be urged In the next few days to
aid In putting this final War
Fund drive over the top.
Leonard 8mith, county drive
chairman, said today that only six
out of 66 school district organiza-
tions in Canadian county have
turned In their full quotas. Three
or four others are within a few
dollars of making theirs and the
others have fallen far short of last
year’s figure.
Yukon has reported its town
quota as completed and the El
Reno reformatory has gone over
the top on its solicitation, he re-
ported.
Final Appeal Made
Smith made a final appeal to
all workers throughout the rural
districts to make another canvass
of their prospects and report In at
the earliest possible moment. He
urged also that those who already
have reported In, but failed to
make their quotas try once more
to bring their districts up to last
year's total.
In Ei Reno. Henry C. Hicks,
local chairman, ls contacting all
team workers, urging that they
work their assigned territory once

Others who have given, but want
to add to their contribution to help
put the drive over the top are
asked to call the team workers
who called on them, or to mall
their checks direct to Morris
Stock, campaign treasurer.
Immediate Action Urged
Hicks made a special appeal to
any persons or firms that have
not been contacted to wait no
lunger, but to mail or send their
contributions to the campaign
treasurer also.
In discussing the campaign pic-
ture today. County Chairman Smith
said, “It seems a shame that El
Reno and Canadian county, which
have done such a good Job
throughout the war years, should
quit short of the goal, now that it
is almost in sight. It looks like a
lot of people Just ligure that V-J
