THE
■I ..!
JUST WHAT WE NEED
action of El Reno city commissioners in calling an
election September 24, to vote on a bond issue of $58,000
to provide funds for improvements to El Reno's water sys-
tem was taken after thorough investigation of our needs and
due consideration of the city's ability to assume additional
obligations. The improvements proposed have been carefully
thought out; nothing has been included which cannot lie just-
ified from a standpoint of economy and necessity.
With an elevated water tank equalizing pressure in ex-
tended and enlarged water mains, resident and commercial
users will find their water service vastly improved. Increased
pump capacity at the water works will improve regular serv -
ice and give additional stand-by protection in the event of an
emergency. The item of new equipment for the fire depart-
ment is one so badly needed that comment would seem almost
unnecessary.
And while the total bond issue sought is only $58,000 the
cost of the proposed improvements will run about $100,000,
which is another reason why a bond issue at this time is a
good idea. Probably never again in its history, will El Reno
have an opportunity to acquire such substantial improve-
ments for its municipal plant at 58 cents on the dollar. The
federal aid being offered now can not be expected to continue
forever.
The labor angle cannot be overlooked in this program eith-
er. With approval of the bond issue and allocation of federal
funds, work can be started upon the program in October or
November. A considerable force of men will be required for
this work. That means, many El Reno residents who have
been without employment or only able to obtain part time
work at best, will find themselves attached ton payroll for
the winter months

Sometimes it seems that what this world needs or at least
what some of its great leaders could use, is a better sense of
humor. Almost daily we read where some king, dictator, po-
tentate, President, general, chief, judge of what not. has been
deeply offended by some chance remark, reference or cartoon.
The latest is the protest registered by Japan because of the
caricature of Emperor Hirohito in Vanity Pair.
Manv international complications and much ill - will could
be avoided if the rulers of the world would take time to oc-
casionally recall that they are only human beings like the
rest of us, and that a good laugh is a good laugh, even if it
happens to be at their expense.

YV/ASHINGTON, Aug. 6—There
YV aren't any terrors In the number
13 for President Roosevelt after
his latest fishing expedition down
the Potomac.
Matter of faei, he thinks maybe
13 lx his lucky number.
The president’s hunch about 13's
came In this way. He was ahead
of all the rest of the party in the
number of hardheads he had
caught. But Miss Marguerite Le-
hand, his personal secretary, and
Captain Ross Mclntire, White
House physician, fishing in partner-
ship, were pressing him closely
The score stood:
Roosevelt 12.
Lehand-Mclntirr 9.
That delighted Miss Leliand and
Mclntire. They were convinced
that when Mr. Roosevelt caught
his 13th fish, his luck would turn
and the early lead would go over-
board under the handicap of the
unlucky number.
For a fpw moments neither con-
testant got a bite. Then there was
a lug on the president's line. Miss
Lehand and Mclntire chuckled:
"It’s your last fish." they chorus-
sed. "Number thirteen."
Mr. Roosevelt chuckled too. He
pulled in his line and there was
fish No. 13 all right. But in addi-
tion he pulled In fish No. 14. He’d
hooked two at the same time.
Miss Lehand and Mclntire nev-
er had a chance after that. Mr.
Roosevelt kept on pulling in fish
for the next hour and they finally
quit in disgust.
