El Reno (Okla.) Dally Tribune
Tribesmen Are
Given Drubbing
Housewife Serves
At Trade School
PRAIRIE. Miss, Sept. 24—<U.R>—
Mrs. Mattie Lou Oann, with the
unusual title "lady carpenter,"
thinks It's high time women looked
6ut their kitchen window to tackle
some of the Jobs menfolk keep to
themselves.
Mrs. Oann Is an average house*
wife who goes beyond her culinary
duties to enjoy life. Many a house-
wife has reached for hammer and
nails to adjust curtain rods. Others
wait for hubby to handle carpentry
work around the house.
Not so with Mrs. Oann. Her war
veteran son Is arnased at his moth-
er's talents with hammer and saw
in working out a carpentry prob-
lem.
Mrs. Oann is known as the "lady
carpenter" at school, where she In-
structs men students on how to be-
come good carpenters. 8hc Is on
the faculty at Trades Training
Institute of Mississippi State col-
lege In northeast Mississippi.
Worked on Klirlln
During the war Mrs. Oann used
to turn out shells which made her
an expert on precision instrument
reading.
At first, Mrs. Oann handled In-
struction on precision Instruments
used in different shops at the In-
stitute. except for the framing
square which was used in the car-
pentry and cabinet-making shops.
Now she even Instructs on the com-
plicated framing square.
John Echols, veteran carpenter
at Memphis. Tenn, was somewhat
wary of Mrs Gann's talents until'
lie learned of her framing square
knowledge.
"Tltnt makes her an expert car-
penter," Echols said. "Anyone with
the ability to understand tire fram-
ing square Is every bit a carpenter." j
Mrs. Oann moves from one work
bench to another while her stu-
dents hammer and saw on their
work problems. In motherly fash-
ion she'll lend a hand ... rip out a
board . . . mid replace It the right
way.
Apples Skill
Mrs. Gann applies her carpentry
knowledge away from school, too.
Right now the Ganns are In the
process of repairing their home. All
three—mother, father and son—are
on the Job.
Mrs. Oann says the trouble with
a lot of women is that they stay in
their kitchen instead of seeing
what their menfolk are doing for a
living.
"Women are Just as capable If
they'd look out the window at other
Jobs, she says. "Women can hold
down innny a Job now strictly In
the hands of men ... It Just takes
effort to learn the other fellow's
job."
According to Mrs. Oann. "You’re
never too old to learn.” Asked
about her age. Mrs. Gann will tell
you: "I thhik a person Is only as
old as she feels and acts—and I
still feel fine."
Hinton Wins By
Lopsided Score

■■ gains but never seemed to be able
to make a direct threat until the
fourth when Wray Littlejohn and
Kendall Ghdlstou made successive
27-yard runs to put the ball on
the Clinton 6. Littlejohn made two
line plunges to carry the pigskin
across the line for the Indians'
lone touchdown.

over-anxious throughout the game
and as a result, were set bark a
total of 85 yards on penalties. El
Reno was penalized only once, that
one for IS yards for Interfering
with a passer.
Only one of the Boomer con-
ference teams turned in a victory
In Friday night's play, Chlckasha
defeating Mnrlow 19-0. In the
| other games Duncan battled Pauls
Valley to a 7-7 tie, Putnam City
lost to Midwest City 12-0, and
Lawton lost to Hollis, 18-13.
The Indians' next opponent will
be Northeast of Oklahoma City at

REPEAL CAUSES SERIOUS INCREASE IN LIQUOR
CONSUMPTION WITH ITS ATTENDANT ILLS, WHICH
RESULTS IN ADDITIONAL TAXES.
• REPEAL INCREASES BOOTLEGGING
In wet states the bootlegger stays in bus-
iness by evading state taxes and controls His
business flourishes because public demand is in-
creased through national advertising in the state.
FR0M * * • 137$/ Oklahoma's loading
£usinc$s and ‘Professional Men
'OFFICIAL FIGURES SHOW THAT BOOTLEGGING
ACTUALLY INCREASES FROM, TOO PERCENT TO 400
PERCENT AFTER REPEAL
• REPEAL INCREASES LIQUOR
CONSUMPTION
Advertising Pays! Legalized Whiskey Is Ad-
vertised Whiskey. Consumption of hard liquors
increased from 58 million gallons in 1984 (first
year after national repeal), to 231 million gallons
i* 1946 (398% increase).
*.»2°URCE' U' s' DEPT- 0F COMMERCE REPORT,
APRIL 30. 1947.
• REPEAI INCREASES TAXES
Legalizing whiskey will cost the state $6.00
for every $1.00 received in taxes.
In a two-year impartial survey made by a
State Commission, authorized and paid for by the
Massachusetts legislature, it was found:
$81,000,000.00 Total cost of whiskey to the State
for one year.
013,189,266.79 Tax money received.
107,860,738.21 Net LOSS to State for one year,
or a loss of $6 for every $1 col-
lected.
„u.52yRCE: REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMISSION,
CHAPTER 82. MASSACHUSETTS HOUSE 2,000, MARCH
*i • Wo,
Thus, it appears that as liquor consumption
increases, the cost to state government increases
in proportion, requiring additional increases in
taxes.
