Is Carlsbad Caverns open all year round? Who would I

Pat Dickerson, an amiable secretary at the Carlsbad
Caverns visitors' information center, says they are, in-
deed, open throughout the year. She is sending along
some materials to help you plan your trip.
In the 284X1 block NW 37, there are two fairly new busi-
ness establishments, one on each side of the street. Nei-
ther has off-street parking for their employees, and with
cars parked on both sides, only one lane is left for two-
way traffic. One company loads and unloads trucks with
forklifts, thus blocking the entire street. E. W.
Well, the formalities took awhile, but the traffic con-
trol department now reports that the traffic commission
took notice of this problem by restricting parking on the
south side of NW 37, from Frankford to May.

Garrison served as sher-

he was defeated for re-
election by Mahan.
Garrison's first move in
office was to fire all six of
Mahan's employees. "I let
them go because I wanted
to hire a staff of my own,"
he said.
Brown and Pinkerton,
who face trials this fall on
grand jury indictments for
malfeasance in office,
made the appointment of
Garrison Wednesday to the
acting sheriff's post in the
absence of the third Wag-

I noticed you offer your services in trying to expedite

return. I realize that as I filed it a year late, there will
be a penalty. L. M., Warr Acres.
We're not sure we understand all we know about this,
but it seems to be good news. The Oklahoma City Inter-
nal Revenue Service office discovered that the refund
was slowed by some discrepancy about your name or So-
cial Security number. They mentioned no penalty, but
said the 1972 refund, plus interest, is on its way.

Dr. E. C. Mathews, a re-
tired dentist who was on
the Indiana penal staff for
15 years, contends that the
state prison has never
been more progressive.
It is easier to criticize
than to single out the good
points, Mathews said.
Lash's medical program
also has received the back-
ing of Republican Gov.
Otis Bowen, who is a medi-
cal doctor. Lash has three
full-time doctors and 15
consulting physicians to
help provide prison medi-
cal assistance.
At Michigan City's St.
Anthony Hospital, the pris-
on has reserved six beds
on the fourth floor for in-
mates who need more
medical attention than the
penitentiary infirmary can
provide. Lash also serves
as a member of the hospi-
tal board.
Despite criticism from
some inmates and also
some outsiders, Lash was
highly praised by state
Sen. John Shawley, the
ranking member of the
Senate Penal Benevolent
Committee.

some difficulties to over-
come, but he has made it

City Manager Paul W. Rice is dropping you a note to
explain what the city is doing about this. Others who
have noticed the bedraggled place will be interested to

northwest Oklahoma. Legal action to force a cleanup
now is being considered.

FREE SAFE DEPOSIT
BOXES OFFERED TO
PENN TOWER SAVERS
Sooner Federal’s third Oklahoma City
location, the Penn Tower Office and Shop-
ping Complex at 50 Penn Place, is topped
by a three story Piggybank — Sooner
Federal’s symbol.
Amid the contemporary design of the
Penn Tower Building, Sooner Federal will
offer a free safe deposit program for all
savers. "Any depositor at our Penn Tower
Branch will receive free safe deposit boxes
for their valuables with a specified
minimum deposit”, explained* Branch
Manager Clyde Mitts. "Customers may
also pay their utility bills each month right
in the branch, as well as purchase travelers
checks and money orders.”
Though each Sooner Federal branch has
a personality and special role of its own,
nearly all of The Piggybank’s services can
be found at every Sooner branch in town.
So, wherever you decide to open your
account — Crossroads, Downtown or Penn
Tower — you can still make deposits and
withdrawals at all of them!
switch over to the gover-
nor's party. The elder
Lash is now a Republican
member of the state legis-
lature in Indiana.
The young warden, how-
ever, appears undisturbed
by the criticism leveled at
him by inmates or mem-
bers of the CCD. He main-
tains he is not trying to
win a popularity contest.
"I'm here to change the
inmate, not for him to
change me," Lash said.
Overall, Lash seems to
fare better with the old-
timers. John Wilson, who
once lived on the Oklaho-
ma-Kansas line and is now
serving a life sentence for
murder, praised the youth-
ful warden as "doing a
good job."
"He's simply up against
too many radicals in here,
and some of the big people
have him tied down," Wil-
son said. "They'll holler
about anything under the
sun."
One of the major com-
plaints is lack of adequate
medical care, a cry that
has frequently gone up
from many Inmates in the
Oklahoma State Peniten-
tiary at McAlester.

But Steed says, "We

argue how the project
came about.
But he says it "leaves us

"We wanted the inter-

a good road connecting the

any progress on that.
"I am very concerned
about the traffic conditions
