TRNAL-CAPITAL
Published Evenings, Tuesday through Friday and Sunday Mornings
Members of the Pawhuska City
Council approved claims in the
amount of $71,617.42 at their
Monday night meeting, voted to
declare at state of emergency
and annex a small tract of land
lying west of the PHS baseball
diamond, and extended approval
for a committee to proceed in
having a survey made to deter-
mine the feasibility of using the
old city hospital building for the
office space which would be need-
ed in a new community building.
City Manager Morgan Hayes
reported that the city had receiv-
ed the bond money voted recently
for city improvements in con-
nection with the preparations for
furnishing sewer and water ser-
vices to Sequoyah Mills. Some
$500,000 of this amount was put
out at interest temporarily and
about $100,000 was set aside for
immediate use.
Of the claims approved Mon-
day night, $66,393.24 was of the
General Obligation Bonds and
the larger amounts were allocat-
ed as follows: Evan L. Davis,
services and supplies, $4,825;
C.H. Guernsey & Co., engineer-
ing services, $8,878.33; John W.
Johnson, balance on land and crop
settlement, $45,193.13; Henry
Jech, crop settlement,$3,636.26.
The land annexed consisted of a
tract owned by Goldie Young and
described as: “Beginning at a

road, thence in a Southwesterly
direction, along said right-of-
way, to the point of beginning,

The council expressed approv-
al of plans of a committee headed
by Ruby Duke to have the old city
hospital examined and surveyed
to see if it could be used for
offices for such organizations
as the Community Health, Legal
Aide, Community Action Pro-
gram, Mainstream, NYC etc.
It was also brought to the atten-
tion of the council that the State
Civil Defense had offered to make
a survey, at no cost to either the
city or county, and furnish sec-
tionalized maps givingdirections
to all residents on the proper
measures to take in an emer-
gency and the location of the
nearest fallout shelters.

Weather
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oklahoma’s already soaked
soil was receiving more rain to-
day and the Weather Bureau
said scattered thunderstorms
would roam the state through
Thursday.
The Weather Bureau said rain
was reported from Guymon,
Hobart, McAlester, Ponca City,
Oklahoma City, Ft. Sill and Al-
tus Air Force Base, but all re-
ports were under one-quarter of
an inch.
The forecast calls for partly
cloudy skies through Thursday
with scattered thunderstorms.
The Weather Bureau said the
rain could be expected just
about anywhere in the state ex-
cept the extreme southeast.
Lows this morning ranged
from 42 at Tulsa to 58 at Ard-
more. Highs today should range
from 68 to 79. Lows tonight are
expected to dip into the upper
40s and 50s.

Pawhuska In Brief
IMP LEAGUE GAMES CANCELLED -- The IMP League games
scheduled for Monday night and for this evening have had to be
cancelled because of the cold, rainy weather and Harold Huff-
man, director of the Summer Recreation Program, said today
at noon that he might possibly have to cancel Thursday’s games
and start over next Monday with the original schedule which
he had laid out for this week.
RETAIL MERCHANTS TO MEET -- The Retail Merchants will
meet at 3 p.m. Wednesday in the Chamber of Commerce office
to “firm up" plans for “Old Fashioned Day" on June 8 and to
discuss plans for the International Cavalcade and Moonlight
Madness. This second meeting on this same agenda was made
necessary because the attendance at the first meeting was too
light to accomplish the business at hand.
HONORARY 4-H MEMBERS - Four Osage County adults will
become honorary 4-H members during ceremonies at the 47th
4-H Club Roundup on the Oklahoma State University campus on
May 28-31, according to Steve Dowell, 4-H agent. Due to receive
honorary membership pins at a banquet in their honor are: George
Wayman, Burbank; Lynn Warren, Pershing; Lee Holcombe, Paw-
huska; and Jay Burnett, Pawhuska. The honorary 4-H award is
given to adults who have made significant contributions to Okla-
homa 4-H work, either through leadership, sponsorship or both.
ACCIDENT - An accident involving cars owned by John A.
Hanna and H. Benson occurred at 12:20 p.m., May 20 in the 100
block on East Sixth. According to the reports, Benson was leav-
ing the alley behind the National Bank of Commerce and while
waiting for on-coming traffic was hit by Hanna who was traveling
East on Sixth. The Hanna car had damage to the frame on the
right front headlight and fender and the Benson car was damaged
on the left front grille and fender.
BIKE STOLEN - Gene Boulanger, 714 Grandview, reported
