Meeting Jan. 21
President-elect Roosevelt is plan-
ning a 10-day “hideout” at sea in
southern waters to escape entirely
from contacts with the outer world
before he moves into the White
House, March 4. The new presi-
dent expects to accept the offer
of Vincent Astor, his long-time
friend and neigh oor. to make use
of Astor’s palatial yacht, the Nour-
mahal, early in February. The
yacht is rated as one of the fastest
on the seas. This will give the
{former governor a decided advant-
age if the press or any Democrats
attempt to interrupt his vacation.
Roosevelt desires solitude to think

POWER AND “PICK UP!”
Transfer of the old Darlington
home property to the state game
and fish department to be used
as a game farm received almost
unanimous endorsement of the
state senate late Tuesday when It
swept through on final passage
with only one contrary vote, ac-
cording to William Leighton, vice
chairman of the game and fish
commission.
This measure, introduced and
I sponsored by State Senator W. P.
Morrison of El Reno, now goes to
the house where Herbert M. Pal-
mer, representative from Canadian
county, is prepared to push It
through at top speed so the game
department can feel justified in
going ahead with its plans to trans-
form the degenerating old Darling-
ton quarters into a fine wild life
Institute, Mr. Leighton said.
Construction work at the hatch-
ery has been continued all winter
when the weather would permit,
Charley Brill, superintendent, said
Wednesday.
Lauds Support
"I've been around legislatures
enough to know that when men
like Morrison and Palmer get be-
hind a worthy movement like this
and are backed by a community
in the manner El Reno has backed
them in this project, they can get
desired results," the superintendent
said. "Although we have played
safe by building equipment which
could be moved should our plans
miscarry, we have felt all along
that they would succeed."
Capacity of the Darlington plant
will be doubled for the 1933 season.
Brill said. Last year a belated
start and scarcity of funds pre-
vented the construction of ground
rearing pens in which the quail
chicks should be placed when three
weeks old and they had to be
carried throughout the brooding
stage in the small elevated brood-
ers.
Workmen now are building 100
rearing coops which will be ready
for the start of the new season.
The two large enclosed porches of
the old stucco dormitory are being
transformed Into immense broodlm;
rooms. Two fields are being plant-
ed to alfalfa. Here the quail chicks
will be placed when three weeks
old In the portable rearing coops
so that they can be moved to new
ground twice a week and have
