Thousands of Children in Europe
Are Suffering
JAPS MAY GET BIG SHIPYARD ON THE PACIFIC
J .M .Haiman has been appoint-
ed local chaisman and Jake Katz
vice-chairman for the collection
of funds for the relief of Jewish
people of Eastern Europe. The
quota for Yale is $2400.
This appeal for ain to the Am-
erican people is an appeal worthy
of consideration. It has the en-
dorsement of the highest officers
of the country. Governor J. B.
A .Robertson has issued a special
proclamation setting aside this
week as Jewish War Relief Days,
and expresses the earnest hope
that the people of Oklahoma will
listen to the appeal.
There are 6,000,000 helpless
Jewish peoples—aged men, emac-
iated women, and piteous ihildren
homeless, naked and starving.
Thousands have died of starva-
tion and thousands more will die
if there is not some relief.
Europe with her heavy war
debts is unable to give the relief
to these suffering people and it is
up to the broadminded penerous
American1 people to s-^retrh oot
the hand of hhmanity and save
thousands of souls from death by
starvation, rloth the naked and
heal the sisk.
There has ever been a feeling
against the Jews as a race, but
the latt world’s war has wiped
much of this feeling out. For in
tht trying times of that great cat-
astrophe, the Jemish people were
found always willing to do their
share and did do even mort. They
were never found lacking in their
contributions to those necessities
which were inaugerated by the
Gentiles, and in addition millions
o'f dollars were spent by trem for
the benefit of their own peoples
after they had done their share
in the general drives.
Jew or Gentile, it makes no dif-
ference, there are thousands of
helpless and starving men, women
and children who are calling for
aid. Aid only that they may live
be clothed and given a chance to
again make their own way. It is
a worthy cause—one that should
and no doubt will, receive the sup-
port of every true American, no
matter what his class, creed or
race. Hand your contributions to
Mr. Haiman or Mr. Katz, receive
their heartfelt thanks for your
generosity and enjoy .that feeling
of having done a good deed.

Yesterday afternoon ten busi-
ness men of Yale met in the rest
room of the Yale Telephone com
pany determined to revive the
Chamber of Commerce in the city
of Yale. It was a small gathering
but if was an enthusiastic meet-
ing and if the enthusiasm increas-
es with the membership we may
expect great things of the organ-
number of businessmen getting
together was the almost impossi-
bility of getting a mass meeting
of the business men on a date
that would be satisfactory to a
sufficient number of men at the
am* time to organize enmasse.
With the organization started,
however, the membership can be
increased steadily and from the
expressions that we have heard
from businessmen and others who
were not present at the metting
there is going to be a monster
membership within a short time.
J. E .Goodan of the American
hotel acted as temporarp chair-
man of the meeting yesterday and
Geo. B. Gelder was secretary. It
is expected that in tht near fu-
ture the organization will be made
permanent and permanent officers
elected. It was the constnsus of
opinion at the meeting that the
secretary of the organization
should receive a salary and that
he should bt on the ob at all times
for the boosting of the city. The
question of the amount of salary
and the amount of membership
fees nda dues for the organiza-
tion will be taken up at the time
when the permanent organization
is made. Committees on organi-
membership were
get busy at once.
While the meeting was in ses-
sion, Mr. Bishop and Mr. Smith
of Stillwater, members of the
Chamber of Commerce there and
enthusiastic booster for the pre-
sent routt of the Albert Pike high
way entered the room and Mr.
Bishop explained some of the
things which are necessary for
the local Albert Pike Highway as-
soiiation to do if thty would fore-
stall the intention of the Pawnee-
Jennings Chambers of Commerce
in changing the route of the Al-
bert Pike Highway so that it will
miss Oilton, Yale and Stillwattr
and go through Jennings .and Paw
nee to Perry. As a result Mr.
Scherer, Mr. Lippert, Mr. Jay and
Mr. Robison will go to Stillwater
today to confer with the road com-
mittee of the Stillwattr Chamber
of Commerce at to what action to
take. Representatives from Oil-
ton: will also be in Stillwater for
the same purpose.
Anumbtr of matters of impor-
tance wrich should be looked af-
ter by the Chamber of Commerce
were brought up, and much enthu
siasm shown regarding them, in-
dicating that when the organiza-
tion: gets to running ^smoothly
that there will be something do-
ing.
It was decided that the neyt
meeting would be held Friday ev-
ening at the rest rooms of the
Telephone company, and Mr.
Scherer issued an invitation for
those who will meet at that time
to take supper at the expense of
the Yale Telephone company at
the M. & M. Cafe at 7 o’cloik that
eveninf and then repair to the
rosmo.
Those present at the initial
meeting were: J. E. Goodan, A. F.
Hornbeck, C. L. Robison, E. H.
Lippert, J. M .Haiman, J. W.
Flint, Max Jay, L. W. Siherer, J.
II .Montgomery and Geo. B. Gel-
der.
Every citizen of Yale who is a
booster for the 'best interests of
the hity is asked to join this or-
ganization1 and help make Yale
the best city in tris portion of the
state, ^t can be done, but it most
be done by co-operation.

The city council met Monday
night in regular meeting and pass
ed the usual number of bill
against the city.
R. E. Sco t was again before
the council seeking a settlement
for his claim of damages against
the City of Yale for the placing
of a drain pipe across a corner of
his property. He asks for $40.00
damage, and when the council
asked what price he would take
for fifty foot sqoare of land, all
tha tis affected, in order that
there might be no further request
for damage, he informed the city
that they could purchase this
small square for $160. This fig-
ured out means that the city
would have to pay at the rate of
better than $2600 an acre for the
creek bank. The city attorney
and city engineer were instructed
to meet again with Mr. Scott,
measure the least amount of
ground that the city would need
and report at the next meeting of
the council.
Mrs. F. B. Hancock and Mrs. L.
L .Hitt, were before the council to
explain the situation regarding
the chance of the City of Yale se-
curing a Carneiie Library build-
ing. Mrs. Hacnock told the nem-
bers of the council of the informa
tion that she had received from
the Secretary of the State Lib-
rary Commission and urged upon
the council to secure an option
upon a piece of ground where a
library building could be erected,
that when an .application is

Teachers’ Examinations
Theregular teachers’ examina
tion for county certificates will
be held at the office of the County
Superintendent, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, April 22, 23 and 24,
beginning at 7:45 o’clock Thurs-
day morning,
this examination Bhould arrange
to be there at that time.
Lmmu A. Bassler,
made to the Carntgie commission
that all the requirements necess-
ary would have 'been fulfilled. The
matter was taken under advise-
ment, but no definite action taken.
Mayor Newell intimated that he
would have decided upon the local
library board before the next reg-
hlar meeting.
The matter of seerring pumps
for the new water wells for the
cit ywas brought up and discuss-
ed. Two pump roncerns have
looked the proposition: over and
had left bids for the material
which they considered necessary
for the city. Mayor Newell ap-
pointed a committee consisting of
Councilmen Pierson and Manlove
and Superintendent Blankenship
to investigate both propositions
and to decide which pumps were
to be purchased and to make all
the arrangements necessary so
that at the next meeting of the
council that body could act im-
mediately in accepting the con-
tract. We understand that this
committee met yesterday after-
noon and made their decision.
A representative of the Carter
Oil company was in Yale this
morning and he stated that yes-
terday while in the Tulsa offices
le learned that the Carter Oil
company had given the city per-
mission to use a plat of their
ground south of th eriver for the
water supply, and it will be but a
day or two until the work of drill-
ing the series of city wells will
continue and within a few weeks
it is hoped that the water supply
of the city will have been estab-
lished.
The Parker-Washington Paving
company whicn has the contract
for the paving of Main street pre-
sented a resolution: to the city
council asking that they be given
an extension of time for the com-
pletion of their iontract. The
resolution1 was passed granting
them 120 days from April 15, for
the completion of the work.
