OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER

Senator Herr Says
Washington
Oklahoma's water program has
received a tremendous new im
petus in the opening 'of the St
Lawrence Seaway which links
the Great Lakes with the At Ian
tic Ocean and includes a vast
new source of electric power
Thus our Arkrnsas river nay!
gation channel and the proposed
Central Oklahoma canal get a
connection to an additional 2400
miles of inland waterways and
to the Atlantic Ocean This dy-
namic new link in the inland
waterway system has been
called a "titanic force that may
Jock the economy of this cond
nent with the impact of an H
bomb"
However let me say that our
own program by comparison is
looking better all the time As
other areas kiaw the spotlight
with their completed projects I
am reminded of how the capital
cabbie translated "The Past is
Prologue" by exclaiming "You
ain't seen nothinl yet!" That
certainly applies to what will be
happening in Oklahoma
We recently undertook a
double-barreled inspection and
educational effort on waterway
development aimed at being
fully informed on the progress
of other programs primarily as
they have significance to the
water development program in
our state
Paul McBride my aide on the
Senate Public Works Committee
with his wife Jurhee and Mal
vina Stephenson my press
research assistant were official
visitors to the dedication of the
St Lawrence while I spent the
week-end visiting and carefully
scrutinizing the rmazing devel
opment and industrial growth in
the Tennessee Valley
Everything seen at both places
confirms our most optimistic be
liels and predictions for Okla-
homa's future growth and pro
gress Next week I will tell more
about the tallest lock in the
world now being built at the
Wilson Dam on the Tennessee
river and what it promises at
fecting Oklahoma's future
When the Central Oklahoma
and the Arkansas projects are
completed we will actually have
a more efficient waterway than
the Tennessee now is because
we will start with the most
modern equipment yet developed
while many more years will be I
required to —iodernize theirs I
In this connection I would !
like to point out that it is the
antique inadequate one lane
Welland canal built by Canada
In 1932 which has caused the
tie-up in traffic on the St
Lawrence This publicized bottle-
neck not only does not cast any
reflection on our impending
navigation but actually points
up the advantages of our modern
equipment which will avoid any
such trouble '
All That and More Too: Ana-
lyzing the "titanic force" behind
the St Lawrence - Seaway ex
pected "to rock the economy of
the continent" I can say that
here in Oklahoma we have all
that and more too — and our
waterway will be open 12 months
of the year instead of being
blocked by ice for four months
and threatened by heavy fog at
all times -
While much of the northern
steel industry must bring in iron
ore and often coal for varying
distances our area is blessed with
abundant coal oil and gas plus
low-cost steam and hydro-power
and we can easily import iron
ore from Venezuela That points
to the development of a thriving
steel industry along our water
routes
Water shipment of grain also
will make the St Lawrence Sea-
way valuable But our farmers
will gain 10 cents per bushel
from transportation savings
compared to only half that much'
for farmers using the northern
water route Grain elevators are
now mushrooming around the
Great Lakes but Oklahoma and
Wichita already have a giant
capacity which I perdict will feed
a heavier bulk shipment on the

Reader's Digest to
Raise Circulation
Guarantee Ad Rate
New York
Reader's Digest magazine will
raise its circulation guarantee to
advertisers to 12 million begin
ning January 1960 Fred R
Thompson advertising director
announced The present guaran-
tee is 11750000 although Mr
Thompson claims the average
circulation in the f irst six
months of this year "is well in
excess of 12 million"
Advertising rates also will be
raised The cost of a four-color
page in all editions for example
will go from $38750 to $40250
In the Western edition which
has 2000000 circulation Mr
Thompson said the magazine
format will be changed so that
all western advertisements will
be adjacent to an editorial page
rather than grouped together in
a single section
Opening in Nursing
Positions Listed by
Civil Service
The U S Civil Service Com-
mission announces an examina-
tion for staff nurse GS-6 $4490
per year for filling the positions
of staff nurse (obstetrics) staff
nurse (medicine and surgery)
and occupational health nurse
The eligible list established as
a result of this examination will
be used to fill positions located
at Oklahoma City Air Material
Area Tinker Air Force Base and
at various other federal agencies
located in the Oklahoma City
Oklahoma area The list of
eligibles resulting from this ex-
amination will not be used for
filling positions in the Indian
Service and in the Division of
Medicine and Surgery in the
1Veterans Administration Full in-
formation and applications may
be obtained from the post office
' or from the Executive Secretary
Board of U S Civil Service Ex-

I note that Massena N Y is
priming itself to receive a mul-
lion tourists next year Already
we have many more than that at
Lake Texoma alone not to men-
tion the other extremely popular
centers dotted around the state
Over-all I am thinking of our
low cost power fine wheat beef
timber and in addition we have
the oil and coal and gas baux-
ite essential to aluminum and
over 20 minerals plus the finest
people in the world They will
show the nation what they can
do with their resources and I
predict that when Oklahoma
waterways open it will be such
an auspicious occasion it will
also draw a President visitors
from far and near and a glor-
ious send-off to bigger things
ahead
Kerr Kwote: "I'm glad I was
permitted to serve a term as
Governor of Oklahoma before
the precedent was established in
another state which seems to
place the burden on the occupant
of the office of proving his
sanity"

National Guard
Reorganization of the 45th In-
fantry Division Oklahoma Na
tional Guard has apparently
created interest among young
men of the state Major General
Roy W Kenny the adjutant gen-
eral said in announcing that
the division gained a net total of
138 during the first full month
since reorganization
The ceiling strength for all
Army National Guard troops in
Oklahoma was set at 8427 by
the National Guard Bureau in
Washington on the basis of
available funds The net gain
made by the 45th ilViSiCrn dur-
ing June brought total strength
of the army guard in Oklahoma
up to 7426 which leaves exactly
1001 vacancies in various units
of the division
With the annual active duty
training at Fort Hood Texas just
30 days away Major General
Hal Muldrow Norman division
commander said "We are -attempting
to enlist as many
young men both veterans and
non-veterans as possible to take
to our first summer camp since
reorganization under the pen-
tomic division concept I have
asked all commanders in the
division to continue recruiting
efforts at full speed We have
approximately 600 spaces for the
six months active duty training
program to fill between now and
the first of December
"While summer months are
not the best for recruiting high
school and college students be-
cause they are usually working
our commanders report that the
availability of active duty train-
ing spaces has been particularly
Interesting to those young men
concerned about fulfilling their
legal military obligation" Gen
eral Muldrow added "Local units
can supply detailed information"

courage and confidence that
comes with having accomplished
a task that seemed difficult and
that caused unnecessary worry
This situation is comparable to
many that we face throughout life
When we encounter something
that is new or different we are in-
clined to avoid doing anything
about it as long as we can We
worry about the fact that we will
perform poorly or that we can not
do the job at all Eventually how-
ever we have to face reality and
once we tackle the job we find that
it is surprisingly easy—and be

Traffic Fatalities
Show fine Less
Deaths br 1959
In spite of a strong upsurge in
fatal accidents during the last
week in June Oklahoma ended
the first half of 1959 with a
record of nine lives saved com-
pared to the same period of 1958
Figures released by the office
of Safety Commissioner Ray
Page show that the toll for the
first six months of the year was
303 compared to 312 for 1958
By far the greatest number
died in multiple vehicle crashes
The toll in this type of accident
was 132 while one-vehicle crack
ups took 112 lives These include
lives lost by running off the
roadway hitting a fixed object
and miscellaneous accidents
Car-train smashes were respon-
sible for 24 deaths
I Pedestrian deaths numbered 27
and were largely responsible for
the 42 urban traffic victims The
rural total was 261
Saturday continues to be the
most dangerous day of the week
with 71 deaths to its credit in 26
weeks Sunday was responsible
for 51 fatalities Thursday was
the safest day with only 27
deaths
Fiftyfive out of the year's 181
days were without any fatalities
There were 329 drivers in
volved in fatal accidents Of this
number only 38 were women
Fifty-three of all drivers involved
In fatal mishaps were from out
of the state The age group from
21 to 30 numbered 70 drivers
while the 31 to 40 year olds
numbered 63 Those 21 and under
totaled 62 Only 11 of the drivers
involved in fatal accidents were
over 70 years of age
