The 1937 Americanism program
for the Oklahoma department is
now being organized under the
able direction of A. Frank Martin,
Stillwater, newly selected depart-
ment Americanism chairman.
The new chairman has had aip-
ple experience in youth activities
since his discharge from the
World war. Formerly superinten-
dent of schools at Yale, Martin
was for several years superinten-
dent of the Pauls Valley Training
School for Boys. He is now con-
nected with the Oklahoma A. and
M. college Stillwater.
The first step in organizing the
Americanism program for 1937
was a call for all district chair-
men to meet in department head-
quarters with Martin, Sunday.
November 8, when a department
Americanism commission will be
organized, and all details for the
1937 program worked out.
A statewide oratorical contest
for high school students, with a
scholarship to A. and M. college
to the state winner, is an added
feature planned by Martin,
subject for the 1937 contest
be selected at the meeting on
vetnber 8.
The eighth grade American
gion schi ol award will again be
featured, Martin stated. Several
interes’ing methods of present ng
r this progiam to the schools is be-
ing worked out, and will be of-
fered to the district chairmen for
their consideration.
The rural school award naugu-j
rated bv the Oklehoma depart-
ment, which proved so eminently
st, c '."sful during the 19.36 legion
year, will again be offered, under
th'1 ten at.ve plan of Martin. New
and interesting methods of pre-
sen* ing thii program to rural
schools s also being worked out,
Martin stated.
The first activity n the legion!
work was a letter to all post,,

choose to "rifle in on their popu-|

Two strong democrats are unop-

present county treasurer, and]
Ralph B. Simcoe, county judge,:
were elected when they filed their
names with the election board]

surveyor, and a number of jus-
tices of the peace and constables
came through without opposition.
Probable high man on the demo-
cratic ticket s Harold Straughn,
countv treasurer. Straughn is
completing his first term in the]
office, and has the unanimous
approval of both democrats and
republicans for his efficiency. He
has l.ved in Payne county practi-
cally all his life, to build a repu-
tation of honesty and integrity
that cannot be questioned.
