We have been receiving many new exhibits the past
several months. Joe D. Haines, Jr., of Hominy, who
works for an oil company in Libya and was on vaca-
tion, recently brought in a display concerning his
grandfather, Wiley G. Haines, on early day U.S. De-
puty Marshall and an Indian Nation Policeman.
We have the leg irons and hand cuffs used by Mar.
shall Haines on desperados, post card “Wanted" no-
tices of the early 1900’s, shells and bullets taken
from prisoners, and numerous papers and certicates
of Wiley G. Haines. He served as a “law man” until
his death in 1927, and helped in bringing law and order
to the new territory and state. He was issued a "No-

of Oklahoma.
Arthur Shoemaker, also of Hominy, and vice-pre-
sident of our Historical Society, brought in on loan
from Mrs. Bea F. Lindsley, long tome resident of
Hominy, an autographed book by Lon R. Stansbery of
Tulsa, printed in 1930, entitled “The Passing of 3-

No Confirmed
Cases In State
HOUSTON (UPI) — The De-
partment of Agriculture has re-
fused to confirm that horse
sleeping sickness has spread
outside Texas, but says it is in-
vestigating deaths of horses in
Oklahoma and other adjacent
states.
A USDA spokesman at the
disease - fighting headquarters
in Houston said Tuesday ano-
ther 1,315 horses have died of
cephalomyelitis VEE in Tex-
as.
The spokesman said there
was no way to tell how many
had died outside Texas, but ad-
mitted the figures released
were far above the normal death
rates for horses.
In all, the USDA said 1,505
horses have died in Texas and
the four bordering states since
the epidemic began in late June.

Impasse May Mean Only Delay
Draft-Age Men Still
Required To Register
Selective Service System Ex-
ecutive Secretary Beryl A. Her-
riman, who manages Local
Board No. 59, Osage County,
says the current Congressional
impasse over extending the in-
duction authority has created
great uncertainty among area
draft-age men.
Mrs. Herriman continued,
“Selective Service Director
Curtis Tarr has recently stres-
sed the importance of explain-
ing to our draft-age men the high
probability that draft calls will
resume in the near future and
that the current impasse in the
Congress is not likely to affect
any registrant’s chance of being
drafted."
“Our local board has been
specifically instructed to con-
tinue to register and classify
men, and to order for prein-
duction physcial examinations
those young men who may be
nodded to fill draft calls in the
coming months", Mrs. Herri-
man said.
Men with lottery numbers
through 125 were eligible for in-
duction in June in order to fill
draft calls. Since then, the
Defense Department has asked
Selective Service to draft 16,000
men in July-August. This re-
quest is being held by Selective
Service headquarters pending
final Congressional action on
the draft bill, which is expected
within several weeks.
“Those young men with re-
latively low lottery numbers
who are eligible for induction
this year, particularly those
with numbers below 175 - -the
current processing ceiling - -
have a very good chance of be-
ing processed for induction
after draft calls are restored,"
Mrs. Herriman said.
“Many young", said Mrs.
Herriman, “seem to think that
the Selective Service Act has
permanently expired and that
they probably will never be
drafted. Some of them also
think that the entire system has
stopped. They are wrong since

lunar mountains.

Retiring
Mr. and Mrs. John Edwards were honored Tuesday in
special retirement ceremonies at the Triangle Building.
John has been elevator operator and building custodian for
the past seven years. His wife, Lena, has served as a
Nurse's aid at the Pawhuska Nursing Home for 12 years.
They plan to retire at the Raymond P. Drake ranch near
John’s home town of Salisa. John, a lay preacher, said
immediate plans call for more active participation in ch-
urch work. He previously retired from the Sun Oil Co.
after 31 years there. (J—C Phote)
Alfred M Worden as the
spacecraft was 75,500 miles
from it.
This was the last easy day
for Worden, David R. Scott and
James B. Irwin before they
begin a record six days of
moon activity. Their schedule
was light and ground control-
lers let them sleep an extra
hour, awakening them at 10:40
a.m. EDT.
"We certainly did have a
good night’s sleep," Worden
reported.
A short circuit that cast
doubt on man's most ambitious
lunar expedition had been
overcome Tuesday and a
preliminary check indicated
that the landing ship Falcon
was ready.
The landing site is at the
base of the Apennine Mountains
ranging 10,000 feet and higher,
and also near a gorge which
dips 1,000 feet down.
Glynn S. Lunney, flight
director on the ground, report-
ed at a midmorning breifing:
“The status of the mission is
that we re on schedule, the
trajectory is very close to
normal, the performance of the
systems is now very close to
normal."
Scott and Irwin checked the
Falcon late Tuesday and plan
to inspect it again tonight.
They will try to clean up
remaining bits of glass from an
instrument cover they found
shattered. Lunney said control-
lers wanted the astronauts to
make certain no floating glass
particles interfered with cabin
equipment, particularly hatch
seals.
