‘Sweeping Victory’
Is Predicted
Canadian county drys are confi-
dent of a sweeping victory at the
polls next Tuesday, Rev. J. W.
Hodges, campaign director, said
Saturday.
The El Reno minister, who is
pastor of the First Baptist church,
said this prediction la not a
"whistling in the dark" but a "log-
ical concluaion based upon clear
facts."
"In the first place," he said, ‘we
know that the majority of our
citizens have been reading and
thinking on the issues Involved,
and we are confident they arc both
intellectually and morally qualified
to evaluate the arguments offered
on both sides of the repeal ques-
tion. We believe, therefore, that
they will vote for the best interests
of their homes, their children, their
churches and their own legitimate
badnesses
"Secondly." he continued, "reports
coming In from many communities
In the county indicate our citizens
are thoroughly aroused against the
wet indictments of our state as
being the worst mora'lly and so-
cially (with respect to law and
order i In the nation.
"In the third place,” the min-
ister added, "we believe that all
morally responsible and high-
minded citizens want better social
conditions and better law enforce-
ment, and that they know wide-
open liquor sales will add up to
worse conditions.”
"Finally," Hodges said, "I do not
believe our business-like people of
Canadian county are going to vote
liquor tax burdens upon themselves,
knowing, as they must, that liquor
taxes mean severe economic losses
on every hand."
Racing Group
Is Organized
Announcement was made Satur-
day of the formation and incorpo-
ration ol the Canadian County
Racing association. Odis Cox has
been named president of the newly
formed organization.
Cox said that the race track at
Fori Reno has been leased for Oct.
6. 7, 8 and 9. at which time Che

pointed out that the track pres-
ently is being worked over in prep-
aration for tire meet, at which en-
tries from all over the southwest

First Touchdown
On Third Play
The El Reno Indians were
soundly whipped 39-6 Friday night
by a classy Clinton hlghschool
team that seemed to score when-
ever It took a notion.
Duane Reed, shifty Tornado
halfback, whirled through the line
and showed hl» heels to the In-
dians on the third play of the
game, trotting 53 yards for thq
first touchdown.
Later li< the same period he
grabbed a 10-yard pass from
Quarterback Don Grimes and
romped 59 more yards for the
second counter.
Time slier time Reed ripped
through the El Reno Une for good,
gains and the Indians were hard
put to pull him down.
Hairbacks Vemle Nelson and Bill
Tilley were almost as hard to stop
and both raced across the goal
line In the third period.
Nelson's counter came early In
the third when Junior Cometsevah
fell on an El Reno fumble on the
Indian 26. Line drives carried the
ball to the 9 and Nelson carried
It over from there. ,
Tilley Slashes Through
It was less than a minute later
that Tilley scored. Clinton kicked
ofl and the ball was grounded on
the Indian 13. A long pass to Jim
Sherman was Incomplete. El Reno
fumbled on the next play, Clinton
recovering on the Indian 4. It was
an easy matter then for Tilley to
slash through the center for the
counter. ,
Two others of the Clinton touch-
downs came on passes. In th* sec-
ond period Grimes passes to
Cometsevah for a 39-yard touch-
down run. Late In the third quar-
ter Lewis Jarvis took a t06s for 27
yards and a counter. By that time
Coach Otis Delaporte was fielding
most of his reserves. ,
The Indians made fair ground

concerned than ever:

ety atomic partnership with Britain

2. To hold the four-year Amer-
ican edge over Russia in bombs and
any other atomic weapons.
3. To speed the creation of a
untried defense strategy for Amer-
ican and western Europe under the
North Atlantic treaty.
In both Washington and New
York, top officials were at work on
the strategy of getting ready for
whatever the Russian development
may Involve.
Scretary of State Dean Acheson
was In New York at the assembly
of the united nations In contact
with Foreign Secretaries Ernest
Bevin of Britain and Robert Schu-
man of France.
President Truman and Acheson
were believed to be In close touch.

self. Not a word In confirmation or
denial of the White House state-
ment was forthcoming.
