Sale Is Above Market
Dr. Oliver 8 Wilham. of Okla-
homa AAM college, came out to be
judge When it was all over, three
local firms. Puckett’s Grocery and
Market. Brown Grocery and Mar-
ket, and The United Cash Grocery
and Market, all paid 22 cents a
pound for three steers, with the re-
mainder of those sifted out bring-
ing an average of 20 cents a pound.
“That’s enough sbove market to
encourage the boys to go back and
try again, even though their steer
wasn’t good enough to get into the
money here." explains J. A. Quinn,
vocational agriculture instructor at
Sayre.
Twelve steers went through the
auction ring in a sale arranged by
J. C. Rogers, secretary of the cham-
ber of commerce. P. G. Scruggs,
county agent, acted as superinten-
dent of the steer and lamb divisions;
Quinn had charge of the pigs, and
Ernest Andrews, teacher at Elk City,
was in charge of the Judging school;
while two Sayre FFA boys. Jimmy
Winget aqd Larry Hunt, took overx
management of the show proper.

It was warm. A hot wind whipped
up the dust, and it settled on the
sweating faces of owners of live-
stock. but they didn’t appear to
notice. TowTispeople stood around
to watch the placings. and argue
with the decisions of the Judges with
much more understanding than
would be found in Oklahoma City.
When it was all over, the proud
wearers of the purple included Jack
Water's junior Hereford from Erick
FT A. named the grand champion
steer of the show. M. L. Snider,
Sweetwater, had the champion bar-
row with a lightweight Chester
White: and the same FFA chapter
came through with the best pen. W.
O. Baker Jr., of Retrop, had ths
best lamb in the show.
Head for Oklahoma City
Water's grand champion was the
best Hereford: while Bob* Williams
of Elk City had the best Angus; and
Juanita Hanni of Sayre, had the
best Shorthorn steer in the show.
Everett Fletcher. Sayre, had the
best Hampshire barrow; Dell Davis
of Elk City the best Duroc; Everett
Green Jr.. Sweetwater, the best
Berkshire; Gene Kuykendall. Sweet-
water. the best Poland China.
A similar show was going on
simultaneously at Clinton for Custer
county, and in counties all around
Sayre they will be held within the
next few days. Then from this west-
ern country, the north, south, and
east, they’ll head in for Oklahoma
City and it will be grand champion

The United States told Russia off
Saturday for two Soviet attacks on
navy planes off the Manchurian coast
and for the red army's removal of
I Manchuria's industrial equipment.
The two-way protest provided an
unexpectant follow up to the speech
of Secretary of State Byrnes Thurs-
day foreshadowing a much tougher
approach in future dealings with Mos-
cow.
In protesting attacks on American
planes, the navy used very strong
language. It termed one incident a
“hostile act” and called the other
“unjustifiable.”
U. 8. Says Port Free
attacks on American planes
were reported to have taken

MADRID. March 2—UP)—The
Franco government declared Saturday
that the closing of the Spanish fron-
tier by France and anti-Spanlsh dem-
onstrations abroad were part of an
International Communist plot designed ,
to drag Spain “down into disorder and
chaos.”
In a 2.000-word communique issued
after a lengthy cabinet meeting, the
government said the “suffering French
people" were not responsible for what
It termed an “anti-Spanish
paign ‘
“It is necessary to make known once
again that, under the appearance of
false humanitarianism and simulated
compassion there is being developed |
a new campaign of snares and calum- I
nies against Spain, of which the pro-
moter and active agent is internation-
al communism.” the communique said.

Delay Provision Questioned
Lewis added he would “be gratified
to receive prompt acquiescence” with
the request tor the conference?
In filing hto strike notice, Lewis
questioned whether or not such a 30-
day delay now was necessary under
the war labor disputes act. However,
he said, "Since the act (war labor dis-
putes act) still lies heavily upon the
statute books, the United Mine Work-
ers of America are desirous of meeting
all of its requirements.”
Lewis asserted the present coal
wage contract could be terminated as
of midnight, March 31.
Policy Committee Called
The contract provides that, at any
time after March 1. 1946. either con-
tracting party may give 10 days notice
of a desire to reopen contract nego-
tiations. The other party to the con-
tract agrees to attend such a con-
