No holiday in cotton harvest
Oklahoma's oft-delayed cotton harvest, hit by nu-
merous periods of wet weather that hurt the yield and
the quality of the crop, has given workers few days off
even during this holiday season. The Oklahoma Cotton

in July, Thomas said Miss
Ellis has been unable to
obtain her company medi-
cal records. She enlisted
Thomas' services after she
was unsuccessful in ob-
taining the records.
Under AtCC regulations,
the company doesn't have
to reveal an employee's
health records to the work-
er, even if the person has
been contaminated, said
James G. Keppler, AEC
regional director of regula-
tor operations.
Thomas said earlier this
month, Kerr-McGee tried

Kerr-McGee's proposed
use of lie detector tests on
employees of its Crescent
plutonium and uranium
plants drew fire Sunday
from the attorney for one
of the employees.
Attorney D. C. Thomas, to settle any financial
representing Sherri Ellis, claim Miss Ellis might

standing at her side" while
any such test is adminis-
tered. He said the test
"amounts to a trial with-
out due process of law."
Miss Ellis, who was con-
taminated at the pluton-
ium plant last summer, is
the former roommate of
Karen Silkwood, another
employee who was con-
taminated during the sum-
mer.
Miss Silkwood died in a
car wreck Nov. 13 while en
"They offered her $1,000
to settle for everything
known and unknown, no

ages — and the ’company

what the state of her
health was," he said.
Thomas also said that

Although she works with

BARTLESVILLE - The
body of Harry Kenneth
Rigdon, 59, Bartlesville,
who drowned in the Caney
River near here a week
ago, was recovered Sun-
day.
A Highway Patrol
spokesman said divers us-
ing grappling and drag-
ging equipment found the
body near the point where
Rigdon's tractor plunged

Rigdon was using the
one with the four swift
feet.
But his part comes only
in the arena. He doesn't
share in the driving and
worrying even if he did
pay for most of the gas
and accommodations by
his earnings with Marilyn
aboard.
The $12,000 is a new
money record in the IRA
for barrel racers. She also
won the Loretta Lynn
Longhorn Cowgirl barrel
racing championship for
1974 and a trophy saddle
for the four-state senior
competition.
At 5 feet by 94 pounds,
the pert honey blonde
poses a light load for Dan.
Marilyn is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Walton
Kelly of Hodgen. She is
now visiting her parents
and relaxing while waiting
for the finals in Tulsa by
the IRA.
After the finals, she is
going to "take it easy."
"I told my sister, Susan,
(a barrel racer herself) to
hide Dan after the finals,"
she said.
"It's unnatural for a
horse to run around three
barrels," she said. "We
are on good terms now,
but every now and then we
racing.
Marilyn has praise for
her horse. She loaned Dan
to two other girls to ride in
rodeos. One of the girls
rode him in two rodeos,
placing second in one and
first in the other, winning
more than $400 in the proc-
ess and enough to go into
the national IRA finals.
"I'm kind of ashamed to
say it but I rode Dan in the
same two rodeos and only
won 40 bucks," Marilyn
admits.
She traveled north to
Bangor, Maine; south to
Davie, Fla., near Miami;
west to Albuquerque and
east to Rhode Island and
hit a lot of places in be-
tween from Detroit to
Gainesville.
Marilyn attended Carl
Albert Junior College
where she was a cheer-
leader after graduating
from Heavener High
School in 1971. "But I
wanted to go on the road,"
she said after the years in
college, "and it has been
good experience."
She's not worried about
peaking too soon. "Most of
the other champions won
when they were 20 or 21,"
she noted.
Is she going to make a
life out of the rodeo cir-
cuit?
"I hope not . . . Heavens
no. Really what I wanted
to do was get it over with
so I can relax."
Smaller budget
deficit sought
TOKYO (AP) - The
Japanese cabinet, meeting
over the weekend amid
signs of a worsening reces-
sion, decided to seek a
smaller budget deficit in
fiscal 1975, beginning April
1, in order to continue the
fight against inflation.
By Mike McKay
HODGEN — Marilyn
Kelly, Hodgen, is not only
fast on her horse and fast
in her pickup from rodeo
to rodeo. She is also quick
to attain challenging goals.
She and her horse, Dan,
are fast enough to have
captured the world cham-
pionship barrel racing title
in the International Rodeo
Association circuit even
before the January-Febru-
ary finals come in Tulsa.
The championship was a
which took her only
one year to reach, her first
full year on the circuit.
She out-distanced her clos-
est competitor by $3,500.
She piled up more than
$12,000 and 73,000 miles
this season while on the
way to more than 100 ro-
deos in 25 states.
Number two in the IRA
standings is Ann Bateson
of Texarkana, who has
claimed more than $8,000
this season.
"If I don't win a dime at
the finals and she wins it
all, I'll still be the world
(IRA) champion," Marilyn
said. That doesn't mean
she'll sit in the stands and
watch, however.
She will compete in the
finals at the Tulsa Assem-
bly Center Jan. 29 through get tired of each other just
Feb. 2 in an effort to add
still more to her earnings.
Miss Kelly takes no
more than 25 per cent of
the credit for her speed
around the barrels "if that
much." The other 75 per
cent belongs to Dan, the of the finer points of barrel
tractor, equipped with a
front loader, to shove con-
crete blocks over the riv-
er's edge. The patrol said
Rigdon apparently drove
too close to the edge and
the bank caved in, throw-
ing both the tractor and
him into the water.
The tractor was re-
covered a few days later
by divers. The patrol said
the body apprently was
snagged on debris in the
river until freed by the
dragging equipment.
