gsS&SS
The Vikings smashed through the Indiana after receiv-
ing the opening kickoff. In eight plays they carried the
ball ever. They pressed hard the rest of thequarter, and
led 7-0 when it ended. Next
Viking score came in the sec-
ond period after El Reno was
forced to kick deep in its own
territory.
The first Northeast play was a
short pass, which the receiver grab-
bed and raced for a touchdown.
Northeast converted again, making
it 14-0.
The Vikings struck again before
the half on a pass to the end zone.
The score was then 20-0,
When the third period began, the
Indians rocked Northeast on its
heels with a drive to the 20-yard
line by aerial plays and handoffs.
But there they were stopped. Quar-
terback Charley Wynes and Half-
back Ray Collins had sparked the
drive.
El Reno Scores
The Vikings bounced back and
tallied again with a 40-yard dash
on a fake handoff. It was 26-0.
El Reno took some of the sting
out of the defeat by scoring in the
closing minutes. Wyues tossed a long
pass to Danny Zent, who went over.
Wynes also converted.
The score against the Indians
could have been higher. They stop-
ped the powerful Viking squad at
least three times within the shadows
of the goalpost.
Indians Out pass Foe
El Reno pulled more of a passing
attack than Northeast, completing
six out of 14 tosses. One intercep-
tion brought them 70 yards. There
was only one fumble—El Reno’s—
and it was recovered by Northeast.
El Reno had less penalties than
the opposition. The Indians were
penalized seven times for 50 yards,
and the Vikings 11 times for 85
yards. Northeast made 11 first downs
to El Reno's eight.
The Indians now are oven in the
win-loss column. They won the first
two and dropped the last two games.
The first conference game will be
Friday when the Warriors meet
Chickasha at Memorial stadium In
Adams park.

c y°unff woman killed in an accident one mile west
of El Reno early this week was identified Saturday as Mary
Jo Vickers, 22, Livermore, Ky. She is the mother of two

department and the Tallahassee, Fla., police.

mous woman, who was hurled-

Your Next Pay Check Will Be Smaller
WASHINGTON. Sept. 30 —(U.fi)
—Uncle Sam’s tax collector Is go-
ing to take a bigger bite of your
next pay check.
The personal Income tax In-
crease voted by congress recently
to help pay the cost of rearma-
ment goes into effect Oct. 1. So
don’t be surprised when your take-
home pay takes a dip.
The exact amount of your tax
Increase will depend upon how
much you earn and how many de-
pendents—the government calls
them "exemptions"—you have.
Here are a few examples of
what the new tax law will do:
Single man earfllng $50 a week
—now had $5.60 deducted from
his pay check. New tax: $6.80.
Married man, no children, earn-
ing $75 a week—now $7.40 weekly
tax deduction. New tax: $8.90.
Married man, one child, earn-
$100 a week—now had $9.60 week-
ly deduction. New tax: $1150.
Married man. two children,
earning $125 a week—now had
$11.40 deducted. New tax: $13.70.
Married man, three children,
earning $150 a week—now has
$13.60 deducted. New tax: $16.40.
The government has mailed to
employers tables showing exactly
hew much should be Vvlthheld
from each employe’s earnings.
It still will be up to the Indi-
vidual taxpayer next March 15 to
figure out for himself, as he has
done in the past, whether the
employer has withheld the correct
amount to meet the total tax ob-
ligation.
Individual income taxpayers
•aren’t the only ones who get tag-
ged for more money under the
new law. Corporations also get
a substantial boost. But their
tax Increase is retroactive to
July 1.
All told, Individuals are ex-
pected to pay about $2,745,000,000
more annually in taxes as a re-
sult of the new law. Corporations
Will put up about $1500,000,000
more a year.
order.
When the order will be issued Is
not known. Just which portion of
work will be done first is also a
question.
The state engineers want all the
broken concrete from the present
paving oetween Yukon and Banner
dumped at a site two miles north
of Yukon on the Piedmont road.
This may mean that tearing up of
the paving will begin Just west of
Banner and continue eastward to
Yukon.
Work Begun
Smith said if this plan is car-
ried out, It would be best to work
east from Banner, The broken
paving can be then hauled over the
highway toward Yukon.
State engineers this week began
staking the right-of-way lines.
They started from the end of the
present three-lane paving west of
Banner and continued toward Yu-
kon.
All telephone poles, fences, signs
and trees will be cleared from the
right-of-way before work starts on
the roadbed.
Hurdle Cleared
The last legal hurdle was cleared
when Baker H. Melone. Canadian
county district Judge, appointed
three appiaisers to set a fair price
for the land in the remaining con-
demnation suit.
Values of the property was esti-
mated at $7,190. The owners may
accept the valuation. They may
also demand a Jury trial.
When the attorney-general In Ok-
lahoma City notifies Judge Melone
of a settlement, the case will be
dismissed In district court.
Etta Dale P-TA
Holds First Meet
The Etta Dale junior highschool
P-TA held Its first fall meeting
Friday in the school auditorium.
The program Included a brief
business session and a discussion
of the principles, policies and ob-
jectives of the p-TA. Various
church and school representatives
participated.
New officers arc Mrs. Ryan
Ratliff, historian; Mrs. H. W. Hard-

savagely invaded by the “im-
perialists.”
Meantime, these develop-
ments were reported earlier
on the Korean front:
Advance elements of one South
Korean division already had reach-
ed the 38th parallel and were bomb-
arding Communists dug in on the
other side. Three other South Kor-
ean divisions were close to the Im-
aginary border. They were advanc-
ing on a 65-mile front.
In the west, one U. S. division
was 15 miles from the frontier above
Seoul. Two others were stabbing in
that direction.
When they reach the border, the
UN forces will be established on a
120-mile front across the mountain-
ous waist of the Korean peninsula.
Four other American divisions
were slicing up South Korea. They
were seeking to secure the Repub-
lic and trap any Reds who had not
fled north.
Reds Fall Apart
The Comunist Invasion army had
fallen apart during the two-week
all-out allied offensive. About 100,-
000 had been killed or wounded.
There were an estimated 100,000
troops In North Korea on a line..
stretching across the country. The
line was believed to be well-forti-
fied, but allied officers said the
troops were young, raw recruits, not
as well equipped for battle as were
the North Koreans who Invaded
South Korea on June 25.
Town Destroyed
Units of the ROK third division
were massing at the parallel on the
east coast of Korea. They were un-
der orders not to set foot over the
line until they are ordered to do so.
Informed sources said MacArthur
would have sent them spearing into
the Communist territory, had he in-
tended to take advantage of the
momentum generated in the fast-
moving offensive he launched
Sept. 15.
The allies still were giving the
North Koreans plenty of punish-
ment. Marine planes went out in
support of leathernecks on the
ground and hit Uljongbu, which
had become the Red supply center
after the fall of Seoul.
“The North Korean town of Ui-
Jongbu died beneath a hall of
rockets, bombs and bullets delivered
by a marine squadron in its heav-
iest sustained strike of the war." a
communique from Oeneral Mac-
Arthur’s headquarters said.
