"Rambling With little Jell"
By VW Gilbert
Voody Trout plesented us with
a catfish filet several days ago
We mealed it and deep fat fried it
and boy was it good l's7ot a bone
In it About the best fish we ever
ate Woody is a member of the
rryor police force a good officer
and a generous neighbor
-
Mrs Roy Clark our former
neighbor out on Grand river
brought us some nice peaches and
grapes Having lived near the
Clarks we know how they take
tare of their fruit and anything
edible we get from them we know
13 real good Therefore we were
pleased indeed by Mrs Ciar4'4
generosity No one will ever know
how much we miss the place on
Grand river and the kindly neigh-
bors we had there
This week we are presenting
another "mystery picture" Give
tis the correct identification and
you will receive the Pryor Jeffer-
sonian one whole year free of
charge We missed presenting a
picture last week but we will have
plenty of others in the future
N'Ve'll be waiting for the telephone
calls from Pryor and out of Pryor

Pryor needs an airport We have
become convinced of this in recent
days Frankly we have been hesi-
tant about advocating such Too
many plane owners and too many
fliers wanting to come into Pryor
for this opportunity to be missed
Interested persons are working on
the project We think it can be
obtained without too much ex-
pense But where the expense
needed is coming from we don't
know at present Bope it can be
found
Usually there is more than one
side to every question We think
therefore that we will let "POP"
help us write this column this
week although we don't know
who be is He wrote us a letter
and signed it "ROT" and that
is all we know As a rule we do
not so use letters unless signed
but there are exceptions and we
think this is one of them So here
goes
"Dear Wid" the letter starts
"Ilegardinfr tree trimming and
other points in relation to private
and public property some of us
oldtimers are still arguing about
this subject
"On several occasions in your
gossip column you have made a
weak effort to explain with the
help of the mayor what the city
ordinance on tree trimming etc
Is all about If anyone thoroughly
understands it we have not been
able to contact him
"Talking to council members
has not straightened us out on the
public and private property angle
The council members we talked to
are as ignorant as we
"The questions are just what is
the line between private and
public properly?
"Is the land between the street
curb and the sidewalk or Whete
the sidewalk should be is this
public or private property?
"On Highvvay 69 or Mill street
Please tell us where the private
property line is? Would this be
he building line? What part of
Mill street is public property?
What is the legal width of Mill
btreet ?
"In the residential district Just
where or when can a property
owner trim his trees and where or
when can he not trim his trees or
cut them down without hiring a
professional tree service to do the
job
"Let's get one thing straight
and plain enough so everybody
can understand--what is private
property and what is public
property?
"May we make a suggestion—
to help all the property owners of
Pryor (This of course will in-
clude members of the city council)
to understand and become familiar
with (without going to a lawyer)
our city government the city laws
and ordinances
"Would it be asking too much
to have the Jeffersonian add a
short column each week describing
the city government and print a
copy of each ordinance and
add any comment necessary to
thoroughly explain what its all
about to make it plain and easy
to understand if that i9 at all
possible to get into print?
'We will be back again with
more questions We hope as a
newspaper you do your part and
print those things in your paper
that are helpful informative and
instructive to all- the people of
Pryor not only to thoRe you play
golf with or have breakfast with
Try it before all of us POP" '
1
There's the letter The gauntlet
is at our feet We don't mind We
think of the letter in the kindest
possible manner Maybe POP
will think we are merely spouting
off when we say there is no
mystery to us concerning public
and private property Private
property is property you own
either as an individual or a corp-
oration Excuse us but every
property owner should know the
boundary of his property It he
dcesn't he should find out That
means whether it abuts a street
or highway or an adjoining farm
That is not the business of the
city council
amOF
Public :rJperty is tliat property
owned by some agency of govern-
ment whether a park or highway
Property between a sidewalk or
where a sidewalk is supposed to
be is usually public property
There might be exceptions where
a city street crowds a private
property line In some instances
property owners grant easements
for sidewalk purposes
The letter says we made a
"weak effort" to explain about the
tree trimming butliness This effort
may also be described as ''weak"
and perhaps it is We never peas
judgment on our own efforts
good bad or Indifferent Excuse
ua but it la aorta like playing
golf Sometimes you hit the ball
sometimes you dub it We just
keep trying That's what makes
the game—and life—interesting
To us the tree trimming ordin-
ance was simple It was simply
that no person was authorized to
hire out for tree trimming unless
that person has a license If you
had a tree on private property you
wanted to cut down no one could
prevent you from doing so Whack
her down
Shucks man we had one case
where a so-called professional re-
fused to cut a limb of a tree the
owner wanted cut off That
violated the owner's right and we
are glad to report that "profess-
ional" can't practice in Pryor
anymore He failed to respect the
owner's rights The city ordinance
does respect the private property
owner and was never intended to
do otherwise
Now notice this we are not
defending the present city tree
trimming ordinance As far as we
know our civic and city leaders
agree that it needs doctoring up
and they are working on the prob-
lem Problems often require time
to solve Let's give them the time
We have confidence enough in
them to believe they will come up
with the right answer
About printing the ordinances
and commenting on them All
ordinances are printed every one
of them passed by the city council
In fact they have to be printed—
published — before they become
effective
As to us commenting on them
We have and often do but appar-
ently our efforts even with the
help of the mayor have been
"weak" But we'll probably keep
it up just the same In our news
stories on council meeting we
usually add explanatory para-
graphs You mean you want
more ?
Nice chatting with you POP
Monroney Tetes
'Oklahoma Cast
On Capital Tour
Washington D C—Senator A
S Mike Monroney (D-Okla) who
has seen "Oklahoma" a dozen
times since it became the nation's
musical hit in 1943 turned the
tables this week on a Washington
company of the show starring
Shirley Jones of "Oklahoma"
movie fame
He was guide host and enter-
tainer for Miss Jones and mem-
bers of tne cast at the 'United
States capitol by day before at-
tending their pet formance at
night
Starting on the roof of the New
Senate Office building he led 25
young and old performers into the
'Senate gallery for an hour and a
half of debate through the capitol
rotunda where he demonstrated
the magical whispering trick in
and out of the old supreme court
chamber the vice president's and
speaker's rooms and onto the
empty floor of the House of
Representatives providing a run-
ning script of capitol lore all the
way
The Oklahoma senator and
party completed their tour with
a private audience in the office of
Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex)
where the Democratic vice-presidential
candidate provided the
guide's spiel
Some of the sprightly perform-
ers who have been giving lively
renditions of "The Surrey with the
Fringe on Top" and other "Okla-
homa" hits nightly confessed that
Senator Monroney's fast sightsee-
ing gait was a challenge
"Walking takes different mus-
cles" Ray Pointer a Tulsa native
who plays an "Oklahoma" cow-
boy explained
As they left the capitol for the
amphitheater several cast mem-
bers chorused: "Oh What a Beau-
tiful Day"
Fishermen Neglect
To Obtain License
It was obvious from game
ranger reports for the past month
that there are Mill some citizens
who fail to realize the Importance
of obtaining licenses before going
fishing says a report from the
state game bureau
Of the 139 arrests made by
game rangers in July 91 were for
fishing without license and eight
for fishing with improper license
a report at the office of Claude
Gob chief of the Wildlife Con-
servation department's enforce-
ment division showed
Rangers filed ten pollution
charges there were six complaints
of hunting without license four
for fishing in closed lakes two for
illegal possession of deer meat and
three for using headlights for
illegal deer hunting
J P Hudson Logan county

arrest report with cases to
his credit The one half case is
shown in instances 'here more

Waterfowl Outlook
About As In 1959
Prospects for duck and goose
hunting are about the same as
they were at this time last you
That report was obtained by
Poy Stafford director of the State
Wildlife Conservation department
and Farrel Cope lin migratory
waterfowl project leader for the
department when they attended
the recent Central Flyway con-
ference in Boulder Colo The con-
ference was held with represent-
atives of the US Bureau of
Sports Fisheries and Wildlife pre-
liminary to determining season
dates and regulations that will be
announced within the near future
Cope lin said representatives of
the US bureau point out that the
number of breeding pairs of
waterfowl has been about 20 per-
cent lower than a year ago but
that average production has been
stepped up since habitat condi-
tions in Canadian areas have been
more favorable
'There is still a great deal of
concern over the distressingly low
population of Redheads Canvas-
barks and Ruddy ducks" Cope lin
said

VOLUME 53 NUMBER 37
International Service Is Main Challenge
or Rotary Today Says District Governor
The main challenge in Rotary
today is to find a way to get to
know people of other countries
because our own existence may
depend on it That was the
message Melvin "Ilokey" Dunn of
Booneville Ark Governor of Dis-
trict 611 of Rotary International
ba ought to the Rotarians of Pryor
last Friday at their noon luncheon
in the Methodist church fellowship
hall
"We can't afford or stand an-
other NVar" the governor said In
WW I it cost the United States
$1500 to kill a man in WV n
$150000 and in the Korean con-
flict $200000 he explained
Rotary is offered a unique
opportunity to help in the inter-
national situation Dunn continu-
ed Rotary has the keys to a half
million doors in other countries
through Rotary clubs in 116 coun-
tries which are united in these
difficult times of international
tensions They are united he said
in an endeavor to promote under-
standing good will and peace
throughout the world
In addition to the activities of
the more than 10600 Rotary clubs
within their own communities to
promote this objective Dunn ex-
plained Rotary International has
awarded grants of more than
$3300000 in the past 13 years
through its program of student
fellowships which enable out-
standing college graduates to
study for one year in countries
other than their own as Rotary
ambassadors of good will
As of today Dunn said the
Rotary foundation has sent 1500
American students to other lands
to study Since 1947 when the
program was established 1322
Rotary fellowships have been
awarded to students in 68 coun-
tries for study in 45 countries
with grants averaging $2500
District 611 will select a grad-
uate student this year who will
be awarded the Rotary foundation
scholarship The student selected
will be permitted to study for one
year in any college or university
in the world
In addition to the Rotary found-
ation scholarship a district
scholarship will be awarded each
year Thia year the "District 611
Fund to Promote International
Understanding" will select a stu-
dent from among the applicants of
this district to study in any coun-
try in the world On alternating
years a student will be selected
from another part of the world to
study in a college of his choice in
thin Rotary district
Jim Mike Naught son of Mr
1
and Mrs It L Haught Pryor is
the Pryor club 's candidate for the
fellowship which will be chosen
near the end of the year Jim is
a graduate of Dartmouth and is
now attending Oberlin college
where he will receive his masters
degree in government next spring
Dunn educated at Arkansas
Polytechnic college and the Uni-
versity of Arkansas was elected
governor of District 611 for the
year 1960-61 He is head of Rotary
clubs in 67 communities in a 4-
state area
The Pryor club was his 11th to
visit during his current tour of all
the clubs In District 611 Thursday
evening he met with officers
directors committee chairmen and
members at the Whitaker State
home for a discuRsion of club
projects for the coming year
Governor Dunn complimented the
Pryor club saying "the fellowship
In the Pryor club is second to none
among the clubs I have visited to
now"
