Around Dunron
Visiting with Rev. and Mrs.
Tom Glosup Tuesday was his
brother V. E. Glosup of Chicago.
V. E. Glosup is assistant vice
president in charge of operations
of the Milwaukee railroad sy-
stem. The Milwaukee concern
might take over the Rock Island j
tailroad. If it does V. E. Glosup
will be in charge of operations
in this area. The two brothers
were in Houston early this
week where another brother
died. Funeral was held in Dal-
las. Another brother of the two
is the famed Eddie Dean cow-
boy movie and TV star who
has been a visitor in Duncan
several times ...
Raymond Sharp and Tom
Gray ha-e decided that they
will pass the Democratic con-
vention in Los Angelej in July.
Instead they will attend the na-
tional Elks convention in Dal-
las which will be held the same
time. The two were undecided
for several weeks which event
to take in. Raymond said he be-
lieved the long trip to the coast
and the hustle and bustle of a
political convention would be
too much for him this soon after
an operation. Raymond has at-
tended several of these Demo-
cratic conventions . . .
There will be a busload of
Duncan Masons leave here next
Friday noon for the McAlister
consistory where something new
is being tried for the spring
class. Instead of lasting from
Sunday night through Wednes-
day. The one next weekend will
begin Friday evening and end
Saturday night. It has been
geared for the businessman who
doesnt have long to spend away
from his work. A bus has been
chartered to take candidates and
members from this area
Hugh Sisk was telling about
his fishing catch this week. It
seems that Hugh came back
with 65 crappie fish and was
quite proud. About that time
Edd Thomas told him that those
fish wouldnt even make good
bait for where he fishes on Red
river
Visiting in Duncan this week
was J. W. Tulla who is living in
Tulsa. He formerly operated the

Most Board Members At national
Meeting Favor Federal School Aid
George Bourland vice presi-
dent of the Duncan board of
education who returned recent-
ly from the National School
Board associations convention in
Chicago reports that a big ma-
jority of those attending the
meeting favors federal aid for
schools.
Another county school board year. They are
men going to the meeting was
I. L. McDaniel of Comanche.
Bourland said the big reason
he wanted to attend was to hear
the discussion on federal aid.
At the state meeting most school
board members were against
federal aid for two reasons. One
they believed that out of every
tax dollar sent to Washington
only about ten cents is returned
and two if federal aid is given
it would mean federal control
At the Chicago meeting most
persons attending were of the
opinion that through federal
aid the weaker areas would be
strengthen. There are many
sections that can help bring the
weaker areas up to standard
through a federal aid program.
It also was pointed out that
every bill submitted to congress
prohibits any federal control
Bourland pointed out that
federal aid here at this time
would be very beneficial
Through the law the bond in-
debtedness of a school district
cannot exceed 10 percent of the
net assessed property evalua-
tion. In the new high school
plant many of the needed facili-
ties cannot be built for several
years because of this.
Bourland said that with fed-
eral aid these other facilities
could be added immediately. But
whether it chances are it could
be eight years before all these
can be added.
Six new teachers were em-
ployed by the board l'ot. next

Only Four Races
Are On Menu For
County Election
There will be only four races
on the county ballot this year.
Duncan voters will have only
two races to vote on. Here in
Duncan only the sheriffs race
and the number 1 legislative
post will have contests.
In Marlow and Comanche
voters also will have races in
their county commissioner posts
But the state ballot will be
another matter. There will be
plenty of races to keep the in-
terest of the voters on the state
ballot.
Challenging Eldon Head for
the sheriffs post will be Vachel
Sowell and James Rose. Head
is asking for his second term as
sheriff.
Ed Bond will have to beat
Phil Lowery jr.. Loco farmer
for the state legislative post
number 1.
In the Marlow district Alfred
Pearce has four opponents. They
are W. A. (Bill) Chadwick Mil
ton Harrison Jesse M. Herriage
and Harvey H. (Buster) Jones
all of Marlow.

sioner Vernon Dunn has five
opponents Fred Peck and O. L.
Damron both of Comanche; Ed
Montgomery of Corum Ben
Cheek of Meridian and Fred
Ketchum Loco route 1.
Jack Davis Duncaff commis
sioner has no opponent.
These are the only contests on
