The Evening Optimist Club Wednes-
day will present a check for $250 to a
special program for physically handi-
capped children in Lawton Public
Schools.
Mrs. Jane Ard. physical therapist for
the program which is housed at Rogers
Elementary School, said the money will
be used to buy toys for her “incentive
board.”
Children who participate actively in
their physical therapy receive points,
she explained, and the points may be
used to ‘buy’ small, inexpensive toys
from the board. The program also
gives the children practice in mathmat-
ics.
Twenty-six children are participating
in the program.
Mike Howell and Charlie Young will
make the presentation Wednesday. The
check represents a $50 increase over
the 1200 which the club gave the pro-
gram a year ago.
The club gave local youth organiza-
tions 16,000 during the past year,
Howell said.
To answer the questions call the
newspaper office at 353-0620 from 6
pm. to 9 pm. today through
Wednesday and ask for Instapoll.

met with city merchants Monday to
discuss the strike. Strike organizers
asked merchants to support the
planned strike by closing their busi-
nesses Wednesday and Thursday.
Nearly 35 merchants rejected that
proposal, but agreed to place full-page
advertisements in newspapers Wednes-
day or Thursday supporting the Amer-
ican farmer.
Fifteen to 20 of the merchants agreed
to close their doors until noon Wednes-
day in a show of support for the strike.
Merchants in Ulysses said they would
close their doors for an hour at noon
Wednesday to join farmers in a covered
dish picnic.

decline in sales, or whether Kansans
would notice a difference on grocery
shelves.
One observer at the University of
Kansas — a political science professor
who also is regarded as an expert on
world food supplies — said the strike
would be ineffective because of “a ba-
sic disunity among farmers.”
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The
country’s first case of child abuse was
recorded in 1655 in Plymouth Colony,
when a 12-year-old orphan was found
badly bruised, according to a report
presented Monday to the National Ad-
visory Committee on Child Abuse.
Dr. Barbara Nelson, of Princeton
University, said the Pilgrams punished
the child-beater severely by burning
his palms and confiscating his proper-
ty. The tale was the first episode in the
history of the fight against child abuse
in America outlined for the 32-member
advisory committee
The committee, chaired by Kansas
Gov. Robert F. Bennett, is meeting in
Kansas City to consider final rec-
ommendations on ways to end the
abuse and neglect of children
Dr. Nelson said the government did
not recognize the problem of child
abuse until the 1880s, when the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil-
dren was formed. That agency gradu-
ally fell apart in the Depression years
and the early 1940s.
By the middle 1960s. every state had
enacted a type of law requiring reports
on child abuse. Awareness of the prob-
lem grew until, in 1973, then Sen. Wal-
ter Mondale conducted a highly-
publicized hearing on the subject. What
followed was the Child Abuse Preven-
tion and Treatment Act, which was
signed into law Jan. 31, 1974

said
"The young man was in no way
forced to go to Sheppard hospital or
forced to pay for the ambulance," the
doctor said. "That was the desire both
of his mother and of the man himself
after all the options were explained to
him.”
Youker said he contacted Reynolds
Army Hospital before calling the man’s
mother so he would be able to give her
all the options when he talked to her.
"He could have been treated by civil-
ian doctors at Southwestern. where an
orthopedic surgeon was available, or
taken to Sheppard, which had both the
surgeon and the room available to treat
him," Youree said. "So really there
was never any question about his being
denied service at Fort Sill or being
denied the military ambulance which I
am sure we could have gotten for him
if the mother or the man had requested
it."

were sent to Oklahoma City for a more
complete study, which will take a week
or so before results are available.
Officers said there were no physical
signs to indicate foul play, but their in-
vestigation remained open pending the
outcome of a medical examiner’s re-
port.
Authorities were summoned to the
scene by an anonymous telephone
caller. Investigators said Jones’ car
was unlocked when they arrived and
there was no evidence inside the car to
indicate the cause of death.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - The long-
heralded farm strike is scheduled to
start Wednesday, but finding signs that
it is under way may not be as easy as

sure of what to look for in assessing the
strike Others. however, think there

But in Denver, Keith Thomas, a
founder of the strike movement, said,
"What everyone does on the strike day
is up to the individual. I don’tknow for

Farmers have threatened through a
coalition called American Agriculture
to stop farming and to stop buying all
unnecessary items in an attempt to get
higher prices for their farm products.
