You DIDN'T
MISS A THING
By ED DITCUS
An issue second in most of
our working hearts only to
higher pay popped into the
news this week It is shorter
hours as personified by the
30-hour week
Thirty hours of work spoken
favorably of several times during
the last presidential campaign
came up as a result of a news item
about the office employes of the
Ford local of United Auto
Workers
They "won" a six-hour work day
five days a week from their union
employer totalling up to a short
sweet 30 hours of labor
Almost immediately a speaker
before the American Management
Association's annual conference
took the negative side of the
question
"It would mean a 20 percent
drop In our standard of living"
Joseph M Bertottl of New York
declared speaking either of a four-
day 32-hour week or the five-day
30-hour version
He said the 40-hour week "rep-
resents the balance between leisure
and buying power that most people
prefer" pointing out that many of
the workers already on shorter
shifts hold a second job in their
increased spare time
Theso and other declarations
from employers would carry
more weight if their predeces-
sors had not used the same argu-
ments against shortening the
84hour week the 60-hour week
and even the 48-hour week
There are millions of Americans
still around who can remember
when the 40-hour week seemed an
impossible dream much more un-
attainable than the 30-hour period
For one thing the vice-president pi
of that time hadn't come out so
heartily for reducing the working r
time
All economic considerations aside
it's wonderful to dream about
working only 30 hours a week or
even 32
In the latter plan you would
put in eight hours for four con- ti
secutive days presumably getting e
a long weekend every week
This has its advantages if you
like to make fishing trips down to
Texoma or over to Tenkiller but
personally I am In favor of the
six-hour day
Just imagine we would all get
up an hour later and drift to work
about 9 am After toiling for three
hours or so—an hour off for lunch!
Then back to the old grindstone
for 180 minutes more before head-
ing for home at 4 pm
Only one thing bothers me
Tiow're you going to work cof-
fee breaks into a schedule like
that?
An Oklahoma county represen-
tative came up with a rather
amazing bit of proposed legislation
this week
He introduced a bill making it
a felony to buy or possess liquor
proclaiming as his aim "drying
up this state"
Though it has about as much
chance of passing as a Guthrie
legislator's idea of legalizing both
liquor and horse-race betting to
raise money the proposal stirs
up some interesting thoughts
From a logical standpoint It
Is hard to assail If it is wrong to
sell liquor (and we are all agreed
on that aren't we?) then It is
equally wrong to buy possess
or drink it
of course if felony convictions
are going to be returned against
consumers then punishment of
bootleggers will have to be stif-
fened At present very few bootleggers
are ever convicted of a felony in
connection with whisky sales They
thmally Only pay a fine or spend
a brief stretch in the county jail
If the proposed law were rigidly
enforced and every offender fined
a fliers $100 the revenue would
be enough almost to pay the police-
men to enforce the law In Okla-
homa City probably 10000 hard-
working officers could do the job
However the law would not
be enforced NVbere could you
find a Jury to convict a civic
leader for buying a pint of booze
btrause he would like an oc-
casional highball after coming
home from a hard day working
for the betterment of Oklahoma
City ?
Even the present prohibition
laws are not being enforced You
can prove this to yourself a hun-
dred times any evening by a tour
of private clubs or homes where
parties are being given
Enforcement does not seem
possible in a county where the
population not only drinks "wet"
but even votes "wet" as in the
1949 repeal election
As a matter of fact an the
evidence collected in 50 years of
state prohibition suggests it does
not prohibit effectively Perhaps
Oklahoma would be better off if it
did or could
But it does not It evidently can
not So what are we going to do
about the problem in this semi-
centennial year? Add on another
unworkable law?

Day of Prayer Plans Hade
ALK
k dolma ti
By Irene Bowers Sens
So you haven't the time or
the money to take a Mediterran-
ean or Caribbean cruise or fly
to Honolulu or even to Mexico
City and yet you want to go
some place different
You are not the only one who
feels that way So do I So do
a lot of others And I have
just thought of a place we
could go—not too far away and
not too expensive
But we must be ready to go
soon Starting on February 28
and continuing through March 3
Brownsville Texas will hold its
annual celebration of El Char-
ro Days
It is a colorful hilarious en-
tertaining and amusing fiesta
among the several such pre-
Lenten celebrations For El
Charro Days Brownsville takes
on the customs the costumes
parades and dancing of the days
when the land along the Rio
Grande was under Spanish rule
Charro Days is really a cele-
bration of the friendship of the
United States and Mexico—a
Pan-American celebration
Sister Cities Join
In Celebration
This year's celebration at
Brownsville will include eight
parades four in Brownsville
and four In the sister city Mata-
moros across the Rio Grande
There will be three grand balls
—costume balls—for which the
Jimmy Dorsey orchestra will
play and a special teen-agers
night on March 1
There will be concerts dancing
In the streets and many special
features one of the most inter-
esting being the parade in which
the children of Matamoros
dressed in authentic Mexican
costumes march across the
bridge that links the two cities
to the strains of Mexican music
Another feature is the Merien-
da a coffee given in the patio
of one of Brownsville's beauti-
ful homes by the Pan-American
Round Table a group of Browns-
ville women This also will be a
costume affair at which there
will be a fashion show of old
and new Mexican and Spanish
costumes
A note to remember most of
all the entertainment of El Char-
ro Days is free—at least sixty-
eight of the seventy-two events
planned will be free of charge
Let's go
Well if you can't leave that
early you might go to sunny

Warned that City Manager Bill
Gill Jr Is "most anxious" to leave
city councilmen Tuesday took the
first tentative steps toward nam-
ing his successor
The council took official notice
that the managership is to become
vacant and asked candidates to
apply through the mayor's office
This was the action suggested
by Bob Constant ward two who
said he is sure Gill does not want
to remain any longer than abso-
lutely necessary
"I think he is going to leave
much earlier than you anticipate"
he told the council "and we need
to start receiving applications
now
"We can't leave this matter un-
touched until after the city elec-
tions" Constant said "or we will
have a manager in here who is on
his own and without being fa-
miliarized with his duties and
problems"
After Marvin Cavnar ward
four pointed out "It's hopeloss
for this council to hire a new
manager before the elections"
United Fund
Gives Report
With one of the largest
crowds ever to attend its an-
nual meeting the United Fund
organization Wednesday re-
elected present officers bade
farewell to departing execu-
tive director Rudolph Evjen
and presented Red Feather
awards to two civic leaders
Evjen who will leave March 1
to go to Kansas City to head a
newly organized regional health
and welfare council told some
500 persons "the United Fund rep-
resents democracy at its best"
Officers re-elected were R T
Scott president Judge A P Mur-
rah M G Mc Cool and Edward L
Gay lor vice-president and George
H C Green treasurer
Annual Red Feather plaque
awards were made to Lee M
Jones and W Herndon Lackey
not only for servims to United
Fund but to many other com-
munity and civic cause&
Besides being active since the
first Community Chest campaign
in 1923 Jones has been prominent
In health hospital and Boy Scout
work
Lackey chairman of the County
Child Welfare unit has also
headed the City park commission
besides holding many high offices
In both the Community Chest and
United Fund
In his annual report to the
luncheon gathering Scott said the
United Fund last year served 188-
921 persons in the community
including a record 76400 youths
Ile reported the Fund gained
8000 new subscribers and three
new agencies These are the Legal
Aid society the Oklahoma Social
Welfzre Association and the Okla-
homa County Association for Men-
tal Health

APPLICATiONS REQUESTED
Lln'e Forms to Right
For New City Manager
Constant said he wished only to
make a start so the new coun-
cil could name a man more
quickly
Gill was not present for the
meeting having left Sunday for
a week's vacation in the south
It appears from the general dis-
cus6ion of the question of pay
that the $25000 city manager sal-
ary may have to be boosted to get
a thp-caliber man
"The man we are looking for
undoubtedly has a well-paying job
now" Dr A M Brewer ward two
said "and we- will have to offer
the present pay or up to get one"
Lonnie Sage ward three said
he had talked with a man who he
thought qualified "and he told
me he wouldn't take the job for
$50000 a year"
Sage also pointed out Dallas
now pays its manager $37500 a
year and Cavnar said Fort Worth
is paying $30000 for the same job
"This is a timely question"
Leonard Dickerson ward three put
in "Some people asked me just
yesterday at a meeting 'Is Bill
Gill really going?'
"I am not going to be on the
council after the next election but
believe it would border on mis-
conduct in office if this council
did not seriously consider candi-
dates for manager before the elec-
tion" he stated

on both sides of a card This is
a violation of the spirit of the
rules if not the letter
The rules state that an entry

disregard one of the two entries
of anyone who pastes solutions on
both sides of a card

Nursing Home
Study Ordered
By Councilmen
Spurred by recent nursing
home fires which claimed
more than 100 lives over the
country the City council Tues-
day ordered a study of rest
home regulations here to pro-
vide a basis for a licensing'
and regulatory ordinance
The council on a motion by
Walter M Harrison ward one
who brought the matter up re-
quested Dr M L Peter City-
county health director to study
the homes and make reconunenda-
tions Harrison read a report from Fire
Chief G R McAlpine that the
City has 63 rest homes with from
four to 85 persons in each
McAlpine said annual Inspec-
tions for fire hazards are made
and that his department requires
front and back fire escapes and
closed stair wells to prevent
spreading from floor to floor
"We also discourage use of the
third floors for patients" he said
"1 believe nursing homes in the
City are reasonably is trulated from
a fire standpoint and as safe as
possible in the type of buildings
used for this purpose"
He did urge that rest home
operators tre required to htstall
warning devices which sound a
loud alarm when room tempera-
tures rise suddenly
"Most major fires in rest
homes" McAlpine said "start in
a heating unit in a closet or base-
ment where they are not detected
for some time These devices would
sound a warning early"
Harrison suggested each rest
home with as many as 15 or 20
patients should be required to have
a full time night attendant who
could "remain alert" and also serve
as a watchman
Bob Constant ward two said
the study should be expanded to
include health factors as well as
safety matters
"Rest homes should be controlled
'by an ordinance something like
the one we enacted for day nur-
series" Dr A M Brewer ward
two suggested
"I asked the County Medical So-
ciety some time ago to make a
study to prevent overcrowding and
improper food handling" he said
"They have appointed a commit-
tee which is studying the matter
I'm sure they will accelerate their
study now that they know the
council is interested"

Council Considering New
Cloud-Seeding Contract
Because all the rain in the
last 18 months has produced
only a two-week supply Okla-
homa City is tearing a serious
water shortage
"Rationing may be necessary
by late in May or early in June
if we don't get some rain" Dr
A M Brewer ward two council-
man pointed out Tuesday as he
urged a new three-month con-
tract with "rainmaker" Irving
P Krick
The council agreed to vote
next Tuesday on the $26000
contract with the Denver cloud-
seeder after a somber discussion
of the City's plight Most of the
seven councilmen present seemed
favorably inclined toward the
move due to the seriousness of
the City's plight
"As reluctant as I am to bring
up the subject right before the
spring elections" Dr Brewer
said "we must face facts
"The facts are we are run-
ning into a serious water short-
age with rationing staring tia
in the face" he stated "So I
am proposing another contract
with Dr Krick to become ef-
fective March 15 for three
inonths provided we don't get
rain enough to fill our needs be-
fore then"
Morrison B Cunningham wat-
er superintendent In the course
of questioning by the council
said the City' s water supply
now is about enough for 10
months in Lake Hefner Lake
Overholser and Canton Lake
A large portion of this how-
ever is in Canton and can not
be used until it la released and
comes down the North Canadian
This can't be done until stream
bed conditions are improved by
rain without a loss of the major
part of the water
In addition to the lake sup
ON DEFINING SUCCESS
February of course is associated in our minds with
two birthdays those of Washington and Lincoln To
some of us the month also brings memories of another
great man less widely known but one who also left a
deep impression on the nation
It was in February 1933 that "lame duck" sessions
of Congress passed into history The Twentieth Amend-
ment to the Constitution which provided that congress-
men and senators elected in November would take of
fice January 3 instead of March 1 was sponsored by
George W Norris of Nebraska
Norris served 10 years in the House and 30 years
In the Senate and in all these years he battled tirelessly
and fearlessly for the rights of the people His defeat
in the closing years of his life was hard to understand
Supreme Court Justice William a Douglas tells
of his last meeting with Norris:
"He seemed bent and broken as he stood in my of
flee that winter afternoon and there was a deep sadness
in his voice 'I have fought the good fight with all that
was in rue' he said 'Now there is no strength left Other
hands must take up the burden Remember the battle
against injustice is never won'"
Do we ever wonder what constitutes success? Mak-
ing money? Winning honors? Or standing for principles
which seem to go down in defeat but which actually
arise in a very short space of time and go on influencing
countless numbers?
Certainly by this last definition George W Norris
was a highly successful man Much for which he battled
unsuccessfully is taken for granted today
One of the most fascinating "success" stories I have
read in a long time appeared in a recent issue of The
Saturday Review It is by Cleveland Amory and about
Everette Ike DeGolyer who became a millionaire while
working his way through the University of Oklahoma!
How did this man of millions this "founder of the
whole modern oil business" define success?
It was shortly after eleven o'clock one morning in
early January that DeGolyer ended a hopeless battle
against anemia by committing suicide a battle in which
he had lost one eye and suffered two strokes Of the
suicide his wife said quite simply "He had taken all a
man could take"
Just before firing the fatal bullet he had been
visited by a young man in his early twenties who had
come from Beverly Hills California to "learn the secret"
of the oil man's success They talked of many things but
Mr DeGolyer told his would-be disciple:
"Nobody worth a damn ever thinks of himself as
successful All he thinks of are his missed opportunities"
aaaaa
"The talent for making money" he once said "is not
likely to mean a talent for leading a useful life—and it is
even less likely to mean a talent for telling some one else
how to lead a useful life"
He believed that a man could not afford just to
make money He is said to have labored arduously over
a book review for which he would be paid $1250 while
a check for $7400000 lay un-deposited on his desk!
Millions were given to charity books were collected

ply Cunningham said the City
has considerable water in a sys-
tem of deep and shallow wells
which could provide up to 34
million gallons a day ''for a
while" In summer City con-
sumption runs up to 61 million
gallons a day
"Once we pump that water
Cunningham warned "the wells
will take a long time to re-
charge We should save the wells
for an absolute emergency"
Cunninghimi said from March
15 to June 15 is the best period
for cloud-seeding efforts in our
watershed with the best chance
for good results
When asked directly by Wal-
ter M Harrison ward one if
he would recommend the con-
tract Cunningham answered -
"Under the circumstances I
would"
Asked if this is the worst wat-
er ehortage ever faced by the
City Cunningham said the 1953
crisis was worse
Most councilmen seemed wor-
ried about public reaction to
such a contract although they
appeared to be in favor of it

maid "but we are now paying
$100000 for storage in Cantoa
which we do not have
"This City is almost wholly
dependent on water sales for
revenue so we have to try some-
thing like this to stay in busi-
nem ' "I Wish" said Dickerson "the
"people would keep this in mind
and not just say 'that crazy
