Center For Handicapped
Children Said Success
An order was signed in county
court this week removing a 7-
months-old child from the cus-
tody of its mother and return-
ing her to Girls’ Town in Te-
cumseh.
Okmulgee County Judge John
Maley, assigned here by the
Supreme Court after Judge
Wesley Whittlesey had disquah-
fied, ordered the mother Vir-
ginia Kay Riley to return to
Girl’s Town in Tecumseh until
reaching the age of majority.
Assistant County Attorney
Ben Baker Tuesday filed a com-
plaint in paternity in connec-
tion with the series of events
after the Riley woman and her
husband admitted in court last
Thursday that they had mis-
represented the identity of the
baby’s father at a previous
hearing last December.
Baker filed the charge against
one Dan Parker, said in court
to be the father of the child
and Parker and his attorney
appeared in court Tuesday and
admitted the charge was cor-
rect.
In a quick turn of events sur-
rounding the bazarre case,
Parker filed a writ of habeas
corpus in Superior Court in
Bristow Wednesday morning
seeking possession of his off-
spring and thus keeping the De-
partment of Public Welfare
from claiming custody of the
child. The welfare agency would
normally place the child up for
adoption, but was prevented
from taking immediate custody
of the baby by Parker's motion
in the Bristow court. The baby
is presently in the Bartlett Me-
morial HosDital where it is be-
ing cared for.
To complicate the matter fur-
ther, at the time of Judge
Maley’s order returning t h e
Riley woman to Tecumseh, she
(was permitted to return home
for the night before making the
trip the next day. Records in
the county attorney's office
show that a warrant has been
issued for the mother as she
was not available to make the
trin ha/'lr in Hirl’c Tntrn
tng the Riley woman first start*
ed in February and March, 1964,
according to records at the
courthouse. At that time she
was held to be delinquent by
Judge Whittlesey.
Subsequent acts included an
order making the baby a ward
of Whittlesey’s court two days
after birth and sending the
mother back to Tecumseh; a
motion by the Riley woman ob-
taining the baby back by writ
of habeas corpus after the
matter had been before the
State Supreme Court; disquali-
fication of Whittlesey in the
case: and finally a motion by
the attorney for the woman ad-
vising Judge Maley that infor-
mation presented by him pre-
viously was in error because he
had been misinformed and noti-
fying the court he was with-
drawing as her attorney.
The long and entangled case
is full of legal maneuvering
and as Baker pointed out "in-
volves perhaps more different
courts and Judges than any
case filed in Creek county in
recent years ”
Judge G B "Chuck" Coryell
set a hearing on Parker’s peti-
tion for 2 p.m Wednesday in
Bristow
Books To Be

English, spellers and geogra-
phy.

books are normally sold, but
postage costs more than they
can be sold for. Persons desir-

The Business Of Farming
Evening Schooling Is Planned Here
By GEORGE MAYNARD
County Agent
Several Creek County cattle-
men are now taking part in
special beef cattle improvement
programs in cooperation with
the Animal Husbandry Depart-
ment at OSU and with breed
associations Some of these test-
ing programs are quite exten-
sive with records being kept on
birthdates and weaning weigh’s
of calves and securing feedlot
records. Also, several cattle-
men are using less extensive
improvement programs by
merely weighing calves and ad-
justing the weaning weights.
The Frank Cochran hereford
taken from his herd shortly fol-1 weaning time and also have the
lowing the weaning period and
crop is sent to a feedlot for
at least 10 per cent of the calf
rates-of-gain records. Last year
regular supervised commercial
feedlots were used in complet-
ing the feeding potential of these
animals. After the feeding per-
iod, calves are slaughtered,
graded, and cutability records
are taken. This gives the beef
cattle producer an average or
cross-section of carcass quality
and feeding ability of his calf
crop.
In the future a cattleman who
has this information and knows
the cost of feeding his calves

complied with the regular per-1 can have a more flexible choice

Random samples of calves areiket price for his calf crop at
option of contracting calves to
a feedlot or selling to a feedlot
buyer on a more sound basis.
The maximum program stan-
dards for the Oklahoma Certi-
fied Feeder Calf Program are
as follows: 2.3 pounds per day
gain in supervised feedlot, 47
per cent carcass cutability and
a minimum of low choice grade
for the carcass after the feed-
ing period. Carcass cutability
represents the percent of bone-
less, trimmed retail cuts from
the round, rib, loin, and chuck.
After the first year, Frank
Cochran did qualify and his
herd is considered Certified.
Special Certified feeder tags can
now be placed on the ears of
the calf crop so that feeder
buyers will know the product
they are getting. This not only
eliminates much of the uncer-
tainty for the feeder buyer or
rancher-feeder, but also prem-
ium prices can be expected.
According to a recent release
from J. H. Brashear, State
Veterinarian, testing and calf-
hood vaccination are now re-
stricted to those counties in the
process of area testing and to
known infected herds in other
counties. These herds must be
authorized by district or area
veterinarians.
It is hoped that later In the
fall. Creek County will qualify
as it becomes one of the coun-
ties eligible for area testing.
To date a very slow response
is seen regarding the 4-H Citi-
zenship Workshop at Tahlequah.
July 18, 19, 20. Each county is
allowed 5 boys and 5 girls to
attend this very fine meeting.
An expense of $10 per person
for rooms, meals, swimming,
and other recreational facilities
is assessed Any 4-H boy or girl,
13 years or older, who is in-
terested in this program should
notify the County Agent's office
as soon as possible.
The Day Care School for
handicapped children, sponsor-
ed by the Sapulpa Association
for Retarded Children, Inc., has
been termed successful by its
founders and it is hoped the
group will be abie to continue
the project.
The trial school opened June

run two months, but has been

Burglar Is
Interrupted
Creek County Sheriff's deou-
ties Friday investigated two
burglaries, one in which the cul-
prit was surprised in the act.
The owner of the Corral Bar,
three miles west of Sapulpa on
highway 66, caught a would-be-
burglar in the act of robbing
his business at about 2 a m.
Thursday.
The owner said nothing was
missing and the burglar could
be identified.
P B Bolton, owner of Bolton's
Grocery and Service Station
of Kiefer, told deputies five
pounds of lunch meat and a
pound of sausage was stolen
from his business Thursday
night. The burglar broke a glass
. on the north side of Bolton's
i building to gain entrance.
made to continue.
Under the direction of Mrs.
C.W. Davison, head teacher, the
program offers free play, social
graces, small muscle coordina-
tion, physical education, educa-
tional rhythmics and academic
courses.
Ranging in age from four o
twelve, some of the children
have difficulty hearing or are
deaf, and some are physically
handicapped with others men-
tally retarded.
Future plans for the school,
most of which depend on rece-
iving contributions, are to con-
duct a kindergarten level class
to determine, with help of a
psychiatrist, the educability or
trainability of the youngsters.
With this knowledge, paren's
could be guided in future place-
ment of the child, association
officials said.
The trial school has been fi-
nanced through civic group do-
nations and benefit projects
' conducted by the local associa-
! tion.
