STILLWATER no longer may
boast of “the largest opery
house stage in Oklahoma.”
In 1899 that boast held true, and
lovers of good entertainment trav-
eled for miles to sit in the gilded
box seats to sec Banquo panic Lady
MacBeth.
Monday workers started to tear
off the dome above this stage that
has been nothing but. a pigbon
roost for the past decade. This
dome was exactly the size of the
35x57-foot. stage to permit the
drawing up of a permanent cur-
tain in the days before stage hands
thought a fancy curtain could be
rolled.
Stage below I he dome is being
removed, and the building is to be
put in condition for modern busi-
ness use. Earl Eppler, half owner
and manager of the building, said
the old landmark will be "in shape
to use when somebody wants it.”
The opera house was built in
1899 by L. J. Jardot, reared in
France, where he developed an ap-
preciation for quality entertain-
ment. Business men quit their work
Marilyn Hamilton was chosen
president of Girl Scout Troop 2,
made up of ninth grade girls, when
the group met Monday night at
the Girl Scout lodge. Other offi-
cers named are Baroara Schott,
vice - president; Pauline Schatz,
secretary, and Marquetta Griswold,
reporter. Eleven girls were pres-
ent.
Meeting with the troop was Mrs.
Raymond Moore, local specialist,
who discussed a program of folk
dancing, after which arrangements
were made for classes Io be hold
in that activity.
Fpur members of the troop vol-
unteered to do Red Cross knitting.
Girl Scout social calendars were
distributed to girls who will help
in their sale.
Mrs. E. R. Stapley, commission-
er-chairman, and Miss Ruth Wil-
kin, former Tulsa troop leader,
who is assisting in local organiza-
tion work, also met with the girls.

old Payne county pioneer al the

Rev. T. D. Felts conducted the
services, with burial following in
Fairlawn cemetery.
Death came to Mrs. Lewis Mon-
day in Stillwater hospital, which
is ori ground "staked” by her hus-
band. the late G. W. Lewis, in the
run of 1889.
Six of Mrs. Lewis’ nine surviv-
ing children were here for the ser-
vices. They included Roy and Earl
of Stillwater; Ervin G. and Alite

Enthusiastic acceptance of the
new program of action developed
by the Boy Scouts for strengthen-
ing and invigorating democracy is
reported for the Cimarron Valley
council. The plan involves growth
by every troop, cub pack and se-

council executive.
"Scouts have been particularly

they are able to assemble speedily.

County Worker
Loses His Appeal
Appeal.of Roy M. Brown, Cush-
ing, for permanent disability from
an injury sustained while employed
by the county was denied by the
state supreme court Tuesday.
Brown was granted $98 as tempo-
rary disability by the state indus-
trial commission last January, bul
he was not satisfied with the set-
tlement.
He sustained a scratch on the
leg from the stub of a weed while
working on the county highway
near Cushing. The injury, although
slight, became infected. Brown
claimed that the scratch would
cause permanent injury to his
earning capacity, according to D.
P. Hervey, county attorney, who
represented the county in the ap-
peal.

Election Secretary Prepares
To Sign 4,500 October 16.
Two schools to give instruc-
tions to draft board members
will be held before October
16 when all men between 21
and 36 register for possible 1
army duty. Ralph B. Simcoe,
secretary of the county elec*
tion board, will announce the
dates as soon as possible,
"It is going to be a mam-
moth job to register more
than 4,500 men in one day,
and if things go smoothly,
we all must know what to
do,” Simcoe said.
AU workers give an entire day.
from 7 a. m. to 9 p. m. without
pay.
"First problem is to get the
material to the local boards. No
money for transportation or post-
age is provided, and rules require
that material be given in person
to local registrars, and receipts
be given by them. That means that
. board members must appear in
person for their supples,” Simcoe
I said.
Teachers May Volunteer
It has been estimated that 20
minutes will be required to regis-
ter each man, and that each regis-
trar will be able to complete 30
cards during the day.
Since a requirement is that reg-
istrars be able to write legibly,
some of the older members of
county boards may be replaced for
i the registration. Possibility exists
that rural school teachers may be
permitted to volunteer to help in
their respective communities
"It is not going to be possible
to check every person's hand-
; writing before the registration be-
gins, therefore it is up to the var-
ious members to decide whether
they can write legibly, and if they
cannot, they must relinquish their

When first census reports
were made, it appeared that
the loss of 1,131 in popula-

to drop to a lower salary clas- ■

of the statutes revealed that'
county salaries were based on
the 19410 census.
Even though they had legal
opinion to indicate that salaries
would remain the same, when in-1

and accumulated over a period of
years will be included in the dis-

Cases that had to be passed for
want of witnesses, and for other
reasons will be set for

docket. Wood already has been
found guilly by a jury on two
charge’s, and now is serving terms
in the penitentiary onx both.
Whether he will be brought back
from the penitentiary for trial had
not been decided Tuesday.
"If the attorney general wants
this case brought into court again,
I am ready to do my part," said
David P. Hervey, county attorney. :
"This charge against Wood still is
on file docket, ami some disposition
must be made of it.”
Wood has appealed one case, and
is completing procedure for appeal
on the second.
An accumulation of drunk driv-
ing cases will be disposed of on
