Welcome Service' An Editorial—
A service to welcome new-
comers to Holdenville is being
launched as another community
development project of the Holden-
ville Junior Chamber of C(im-
merce it was announced Satur-
day The project was earlier approv-
ed by the Jaycees and the chap-
ter's auxiliary the Jaynes Both
clubs have worked together to
complete arrangements and the
Jaynes will be in charge of con-
tacting new families to welcome
them to Hcidenville once the pro-
ject goes into cffect
1301 Bartlett Jr chairman of the
welcoming service said all busi-
nessmen and professional firms as
well as manufacturers will be
given an opportunity to be includ-
ed in the project
Bartlett said the plan here Mil
follow programs which have been
Within a short time after a new
family arrives in lioldenville
members of the Jaycee Jaynes will
contact the new cityans and per-
sonally welcome them to Holden-
As a further gesture of good
will the new families will be pre-
sented with a merchants' gift
book containing gift certificates
from the firms which participate in
the program
The members of the family then
may take the certificates to the
respective stores to exchange them
for the specified "welcome gifts"
In thi3 way the family receives
recognition as new citizens to the
city and merchants also have a
chance to meet the new residents
and invite them to shop in their
stores
Bartlett said several merchants
have already requested to be in-
cluded in the program The cost is
$20 per year for each merchant
""rhe Jaycees feel there is a
definite need for some kind of pro-
gram to welcome newcomers to
Holdenville to make them feel a
part of our town from the start"
Bartlett said "The merchants we
have talked with so far seem for
the most part very enthusiastic
about the welcoming service since
it will benefit both the newcomers
and merchants and express the
200d will of the entire city"
lama gers or representatives of
firms wishing to take part in the
welcoming service should contact
either Bartlett or one of his com-
mittee workers in the near future
Members of the committee are
Dr Lewis Stiles qo-chairman and
Mrs Melford Scot! and Mrs John
Warrincr

cide with vacation time for most of

Roy Cook president el the Bap

his group to join the losers
"We'll be ready to go Monday

IIAVANA (UI'li—Thousands of
Cubans headed Sittorday for a
gigantic anti-American "youth
congress" in the Sierra Maestra
amid speculation tilde' Castro
soon would make Cuba the first
Western Ilemispliere nation to
recognize lied China
Castro supporters whipped up
enthusiasm for the rally in the
eastern mountains that will com-
memorate Castro's "July 2G'

those arriving for it were

tiois Sago!) and Jacoo Arbenz

since the overthrow of his Communist-uominated
regime in
Guatemala in 1951 Miss Sagan
was on assignment front a Paris
newspaper to cover the "Latin
American Youth Congress"
Telephone operators in Ha-
vana answered phones with "to
the Sierra with Fidel" and the
press and radio urged Cubans to
travel to the mountains as though
on a crusade
But the government shaved its
origina I expected attendance
figure from one million In half
that
Russian Red Chinese and other
Communist youth delegations
were in the vanguard of the
ceremonies that were expected to
reflect Castro's still - deepening
hatred of "Yankee imperialism"
Red Chinese youth delegation
chief Chan Chao said he brought
greetings from the Cninese people
to Cubans "in their struggle
against Yankee imperialism" a
sentiment echoed by Ku Sang a
delegate trout Communist North
Korea
Castro officials and a Red
Chinese trade delegation were
hard at work finishing details of
a trade pact that was expected
to be based on a similar treaty
signed last February between
Culia and the Soviet Union
The Castro newspaper Revolu-
cion said Cuba and Red China
would agree to a Lye-year pact
under which China btiy
5a0fla0 tons of sugar each year
It would pay 20 per cent cash in
dollars and pay for the rest in
goods the first year the paper
said It did riot specify how the
sugar would be paid for daring
the remaining four years
aservers recalled that SCR rec
ly had Castro and Soviet First
Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan
signed a trade pact last winter
than the two countries resumed
diplomatic relations iAhich had
been severed during the regime
of dictator Fulgencio Batista
Sources said it was likely Cuba
would recognize Red China thus
becoming the first nation in this
hemisphere to do so

his chin "and I never touched bot-
ban" Another worker at the site
said there are places 18 feet deep
or deeper
however the rise itself was only
alicalt four or five feet it was esti-
mated A foreman at the crossing
said the river Saturday was at the
highest point it has been since the
work began un the ix)ntoon pro-
ject "And this isn't all the water
either This is just from the rain
b(Rvet n here and Asfuir The oth-
er water from In points in

yet" he said
Water was also running ovcr
each end of the approaches to the
bridge and is expected to cause
smuo washout damage according
to) one highway spokesman

resident was watching the high-
way crewmen take driftwood from
the river when the pontoon buckl-
ed before necot Oaturday
splitting apart "If it hadn't been
for the safety cable all 10 men
and one big section of the pontoon
would be heading past Calvin right
now" he commented shortly after
the incident
A foreman explained that the
main cable lateral and south an-
cher cable were snapped when the
bridge buckled in addition tA a
"key" link whiell held the sections
together The cable on the north
RPProach was the only anchor left
atter the incident
Workers made plans Saturday
afternoon to bring all 12 sections to
the bank and a state highway
welding service truck was called
so the tracks could be repaired
A foreman said the first four
pontoon sections would have to be
brought out of the river sidewise
and the other eight taken out of
the river straight from the bank
He estimated it would take one-
half day to repair the pontoon
damage and another half day to re-
pair the approaches after the water
recedes It would then take another
half day to set the pontoons across
the river
The work cannot start however
until the river level returns to nor-

Swollen by three (lays of heavy rains along its tributaries
the South Canadian River went on a rampage Saturday
knocking the Atwood pontoon bridge out of operation for the
second time in two weeks
State Highway Department spokesmen said the struc-
ture buckled shortly before noon under the weight of drift-
wood carried by a heavy current The force snapped two
cables attached to the south end of the pontoons causing the
structure to wash out of position and land almost parallel
to the bank of the north approach
The current caused one of the 12 pontoon track sections
to break and some damage was done to the track itself
according to a foreman at the crossing
No vehicles were on the structure at the time the cables
snapped but 10 highway department workers were on it
w'orking to clear driftwood away
One worker who was preparing to snap a winch hook on
a large log in an effort to clear drift material from the water
was knocked into the river by the impact lie managed t-)
