Insurance For
Crops Lauded
PM A Chairman Urges
Farm Participation
Ray Tech, chairman of the Cana-
dian county Production-Marketing
administration committee, said to-
day participation In the county's
wheat crop insurance program even-
tually should equal the number iof
eligible producers.
“We would like to get every eli-
gible producer Into the program
this year,” Tech said.
He pointed out that the wheat
produced by farmers Is Insured
every step of the way from the
harvest field to the oecuumer by
those who process It, but that the
period of greatest risk is when tbs
crop It growing In the field.
“The protection of the fanner's
Investment against loss from un-
avoidable causes Is a sound business
proposition" Tech said. “The aver-
age businessman would not be with-
out similar protection of the Invest-
ment from which he expects to
make a profit.”

Farmers in Canadian county have
until Aug. 31 to make application
for crop insurance on their wheat
crop. Details of the program can

jority of our producers to clearly
understand our county crop insur-
ance program," Tech said.

India Seeks
Korea Peace
Secret UN Talks
Mark Background
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y„ Aug. 18
—0M!>—India set to work today to
draw up a concrete resolution em-
bodying its suggestion that the
united nations security council as-
sign a small-power committee to
thrash out a Korean peace settle-
ment.
The council Itself was In recess
until next Tuesday afternoon to
give the Indians time to canvass
the sentiments of council members
on a written draft of their week-old
proposal. Their success hinged
chiefly on the attitude of the
United States and Russia.
Though tba council will not msat
formally again unto Tuesday, there
will be a secret and Informal get
together here Monday afternoon.
Plan Pending
This was arranged by Soviet dele-
gate Jacob A. Malik, council presi-
dent, In somewhat puzzling circum-
stances.
There were a few hour* of lively
speculation here Thursday when It
became known that Malik had
summoned hie colleagues to one
of these closed-door sessions an
hour before the regular council
session.
But the session apparently fell
flat as old soda water.
According to somewhat befuddled
delegates who were there, Malik
simply restated the Soviet position
on the issue that has roadblocked
council work on Korea since the
return of the Russians Aug. 1 to
take over this month's presidency.
Malik Won’t Bodge
He said In so many words that
both the North Koreans and the
South Koreans should be heard in
council attempts to reach a peace-
ful settlement In Korea. And he
gave no sign that he would budge
from his refusal as president to in-
vite the South Koreans unless the
North Koreans got an invitation
too.
Delegates had been looking for
some new Soviet twist, but this did
not look like It. Their puzzlement
was confounded still more when
Malik decided they should have
another go at it Monday.

Bentley, city manager, said today.
“Then the rains come. And
after the wet weather, the gras*
decomposes and the odor la ter-
rible. It reeks,” he said.
There have been “any number"
of complaints about these odors,
Bentley said. He requester resi-
dents to cease the practice of
filling the holes with grass cut-
tings. V
“When the city gets its front-
end loader, those holes will be
filled with gravel," he said.
"Oravel doesn't smell."
Meantime, El Reno Is prepar-
ing to build a new bridge on
Orand avenue crossing Four Mile
creek.
“If nothing else Interferes,"
construction will start Monday,
Bentley said. Heavy timber treat-
ed with creosote will be used.
Tills wood Is extremely weather
resistant and takes much longer
to rot than ordinary kinds.
The old bridge caved in about
three months ago and has been
barricaded since that time. Mo-
torist* have been detouring by
way of East Evans street.
Patching of ruts and chugholes
in the downtown area was slated
to get underway today. Asphalt
will be poured into the holes.
The concrete floor for the Ad-
ams park shelter has just been
poured, Bentley revealed. Five
poles also were set In adjacent
ground so that lights can be
strung around and into the shel-
ter.
A foundation for the battered
grandstand at Adams park also
has been poured. The west end of
the stand was Jacked up and
brought back to the original base.
Carpenters will start Monday to
shore up the structure under-
neath the stand, giving it a firm
brace. Last step will be to put on
a new roof. Bentley said the esti-
mated cost of the grandstand re-
building remain* about the same-
just what the city received In

Dry cleaning prices in El
and throughout Canadian o
A meeting of tta oounty dry
cleaning board early title week put
the finishing touches to the price
Increases. More than 78 percent of
cleaners In the county had previous-
ly agreed on setting of a higher
minimum price. The request was
turned Into the state dry cleaning
board and was approved.
Prices Legal
That Is all which Is needed to
make the Increases legal. Now, moat
pants. Jackets and Individual one-
piece items are up 10 cents, and
suits, coats and plain dresses are
up 15 cents.
Some dry cleaners In the county
objected to price Increases at this
time. Reasons given by the ones
favoring the rises were higher costa
of materials, supplies, equipment
and labor.
1Boost Necessary’
One merchant said every effort
was made to hold the price line,
but the Increases were now neces-
sary to keep business at a normal
level. He said there has been no
price change here In four years.
Glenn G. Mordy, president of the
county dry cleaning board, could
not be reached for comment.
It Is believed Canadian county is
one of the last in the state to in-
crease dry cleaning prices.
