"The Voice of Destiny"
A whisper in the wind,
the tiniest of sounds,
touched upon my hearing
as I wandered with aimless
ness around,
Through the shrouded forest
in search I did go,
For this thing that beckoned
me be it friend or be it foe,
With intensity I did search
for this thing I could not see,
little did I know It was to be
my Destiny.
Michelle Matal - 1st
"Escape’
Sometimes 1 could just run;
Never stopping,
Running fast,
Faster than the wind,
Leaving everything behind,
Everything.
Yet it seems, just before I
can reach oblivion
I must stop for air,
And everything catches up again
Sherilyn Learned - 2nd
"Last Plea"
See our world
what has gone wrong,
So few are left
only the strong
Only God knows
whether we live or die,
But we can hear
the people cry.
Destruction and ruin
is on the way,
We’ll have to resolve
if we’re to stay.
All nations together
will fight to the end,
So after the battle
forever, - just friends.
Junior High winning entries
are -
"Changes”
The flowers along the roadsides
don’t grow there anymore.
Smothered out by highways,
concrete slabs galore.
The many streams around
our land
Are not longer sparkling clean
They are now colored murkey
brown.
The air we breathe around
this world
is no longer fresh or pure.
It’s so filled with fumes and
such one’s vision isn’t sure.
I suppose you’re wondering why
this poem
and why make such a fuss.
There’s a darm good reason,
it’s because
the ones at fault are us.
Ricky Reaves - 1st

"Chuckie”
A warm summer night
in the middle of June,
A young man was looking
for something to do,
He found a friend and
they went out to talk
and found a window that was
not locked.
They went in to just look
around when all of the
sudden they heard a sound.
The siren was high, the siren
was loud, "I must try toescape
was loud, “I must try to excape
from this man on my trail.”
Through the park he ran away
And all of a sudden lost his way.
Three weeks later, as we pass
crying friends and we lay a
casket in the cool moist sand.
If Chuckle hadn’t run that
summer night, he’d still be
Bob Wagner - 2nd
"A Buck”
Walking quickly and quietly
The buck heard the 'Click’ of
a trigger.
It stood up straight and tall.
The gun fired.
The buck went off quick, like
lightening.
The bullet was quicker than the
9 pointed deer.
When the buck fell, the sky filled
With the cries of birds.
The buck was dead.

Prof advises personal,
not corporate tax hike
to check U.S. deficit
SI ILL WATER—Deny-
ing corporations the tax
rate cuts promised in the
Economic Recovery Act of
1981 would be an economic
mistake, hindering the na-
tion’s productivity and eco-
nomic recovery, contends
Dr. Richard Leftwich, di-
rector of Oklahoma State
University’s Market Eco-
nomy Education Center.
"This tax greatly reduces
the pay off to investors in
corporations. It also penal-
izes the corporate form of
business organization as
compared with partner-
ships and single proprietor-
ships, which are not sub-
jected to such a tax,” he
says.
"In addition, this tax
subjects corporation in-
come to double taxation,
once as corporation income,
then again as personal in-
come paid to stockholders
as dividends,” Leftwich
says.
He contends that the
corporation income tax is
hard to justify on any
grounds other than the
fact that it yields large

Rosemary Good says,

Don’t look in your postoffice
box next week for your Billings
News. It’s time to take stock,
see which way we are going
and get caught up on circula-
tion. Hopefully. And hope-
fully, we can get some of the
papers sorted in the office.
Ya hear that Richard? He
tells me all the time about
the newspapers all over the
office. Well, he has groceries
all over the store. But it is
much neater.
They have been having an
extra added attraction when I
go in there here lately - it’s
their young’un who will be
stocking groceries one of these
days. Missed him Tuesday.

Checked out Carter’s new

both nice and roomy. Real
neat.

amounts of revenue to the
government.
"Some people believe
that if corporations are
made to pay large amounts
of taxes, people somehow
have their own tax burdens
decreased. But this is not
so. Corporation income
taxes are paid by stock-
holders of the corporations
and by consumers of the
corporations’ products,” he
says.
Leftwich believes that
the treasury must bring in
more money in order to
lessen the "horrendous fed-
eral budget deficits that
loom before us,” but he
contends that personal, not
corporation, taxes should
be raised because citizens
cannot be sure how the
burden of the corporation
tax is distributed.
“The distribution of the
burden of the personal in-
come tax is clear. It can
be redistributed in what-
ever manner we or the
Congress think is fair. So
I would opt for greater re-
liance on personal income
taxes,” Leftwich says.
TO COME BY
“Only one-half cup of
orange juice meets the re-
commended daily allow-
ance for vitamin C.”
She cautions that sugar-
ed drinks with added vita-
min C contain more calor-
ies with less nutrients than
orange juice.
When planning a gar-
den, include potatoes and
tomatoes—two good sour-
ces of vitamin C — and
watch for good buys on
fresh oranges she suggests.

Kevin Main

City Treasurer-Brew Tiger of
Pawhuska; Police Chief- Greg
Williams, Oklahoma City; Supt.

thy, Oklahoma; Street Comm-
issioner- Ken Durgin of Blue-
Jacket.

citizenship and model govern-
ment program sponsored by the

More than 600 high school
juniors from across the state
were assigned to 16 mythical

will serve throughout the eight-
day period.
KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS
HAVE MOST OF SHOTS
A survey conducted by the
Okla. State Dept, of Health
shows 88 percent of the estim-
ated kindergarten enrollment
in the state has adequate imm-
unization, as required by law.
The survey was able to obtain
immunization histories for 42,-
680 children, 97 percent of the
total estimated enrollment in
the kindergartens. The survey
showed there were an estim-
ated 809 children attending kind-
ergarten without immunization
records on file at the school.
The immunization law re-
quires at least four doses of
polio vaccine, three doses of
the vaccine for diphtheria,
pertussis and tetanus, and one
measles and rubella vaccine.
The law also requires schools to
refuse admission to all child-
ren who have not completed the
required immunizations, are
not in the process of receving
them or are not exempt.
Joan K. Leavitt, M. D., state
commissioner of health, said
the survey indicates there are
more than 1,900 children attend-
ing kindergarten without evid-
ence of measles or rubella im-
munizations, 2,600 children
with less than three doses of
polio vaccine, and 2,300 child-
ren with .less than three DPT
or Td shots.
"The risks for vaccine-pre-
ventable disease outbreaks can-
will not be excluded under these
circumstances,” Dr. Leavitt
said. "Further improvement in
these levels is needed. The
Immunization Program and the
local health departments will be
working closely with schools to
reduce the numbers of potent-
ially susceptible children in
the school system, by strict
enforcement of the immuniza-
tion requirements for attend-
ance."
