Fair Decision Reversed To Foul
As El Reno Walks in Biggest Snow
Instead of the relief predicted earlier from cold and
snow, the El Reno area got more of both, especially snow.
The north wind blew harder or shifted direction. It car-
ried the incessant snow everywhere. And no one wag happy

The fanners could use ^emoistuii ,Mtli wasn’t

areas where it would do no good, and posaibly be harmful.
"This blizzard isn’t benefiting farmers,’’ Riley Tarver
Canadian county agent, said today. "The anow and sleet
is drifting into ditches and section lines and onto stalk
fields.” The snow is also hard on livestock, Tarver said. It
seems to be everywhere but*
on fields where it would be I
beneficial.
Draft Service
To Be Longer
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14—<4V-
I The senate armed sendees commit-
tee reportedly agreed today oa a
proposal to extend draft sendee
from 21 months to M mum as
I part of a long-term, compulsory
| military training and sendee pro-
| gram.
But it bogged down temporarily
at a two-hour closed door session
In an attempt to reach agreement
on other parts of the program,
Including the drafting of lS-year
okls. Action was stalled by a series
I of changes proposed by Senator
Morse (Republican, Oregon.)
The group scheduled another try

Russell (Democrat, Georgia) mid he
hoped to “conclude all decisions"

Another senator, who asked that

porters the committee bad approved

from the present M months to M

In B Reno, many cars couldn’t

or curbs. Some persons waded to
work through heavy snow drifts.

stores were doing a booming bust
ness In selling chains for automo
biles.
All outside work of El Reno city
employes came to halt today ex
cept for vital garbage disposal and
emergency fixtures, C. A. Bentley,
city manager, said.
Oddly enough, no complaints of
frozen water pipes were received
at the city water department up
to 1 p. m. this afternoon. Either
residents had taken extra precau-
tions since the big freeze two
week* ago or they intended to no-
tify the city later.
Accidents locally were confined
to two mishaps, Lee Harvey, po-
lice chief, reported today. One oc-
curred Tuesday afternoon and the
other early this morning, both a
result of Icy roads.
Weatherman Cautious
- As for relief from the snow and
cold, the weatherman was more
cautious today. He didn’t predict
any relief, but confined the fore-
cata to “an accumulation of snow
and sleet."
It was difficult to measure the
average snowfall around B Reno.
BoomMums It reached I inches. It
never got below 2 Inches. The -av
era* drift reported from Fort
Kmo was • inches. The Palmer
gsuga average was t% inches.
The mercury tumbled even more
during the night. It sank to 12
degrees, and at • a. m. the tem-
perature was only 12 degrees.
Highest Tuesday was lg recorded
In B Reno at I p. m.
The situation of roads and high-
ways around this city is varied.

May Bt 8 Percent
Over Jan. 16 Level
WASHOfOTON, Fab. 14-4*—In-
dustry members of the wags riaMK
toation board, driurmtasd to fight
off a new round at postwar wags
Increases, proposed today that thS
government limit future pay raises
to eight percent above Jan. 18, lMd
levels.
The three management represent-
atives on the nine-man board mi
they hoped to allow only "catch-up
Inequities” of that Mas In future
contracts. But they would sgrag to
another review of the wage ptetwt
next June.
Beak New Feramla
The wags stabilisation .
headed by Cyrus 8. Chlng, to skiv-
ing to devise a formula by
the Jan. 25 freese on wages
relaxed for the long
pull.
Here’s how the board's
membership ipilta on u___
dealing with the wage dilemma:
Labor members want at least If
percent above the wage levels pca-J
vailing just before the Korean war
started on June 28. 1850. On top of
that, they would allow some cc 1
of-Uvtaf adjustments.
Hike Approved
Public members go for an ei|
percent wage hike, but think tt
should exclude pensions and other
so-called “fringe benefits” before
and after the freeze s*iIHm of
Jan. 25.
Industry members concede that
some contracts—like those of the
miners and steel workers—have pro-
vided pay Increases of 10 percent
for workers, but say that In the lagt
three months of IBM then wae a
general pattern of pay hikes of MX
to seven percent. On top of that,
they say pension and other fringe
Issues could account for additional
pay advantages to workers, so that
after,Jan. 26, they’d approve only
all-embracing wage and benefit
boost* totaling eight percent.
A) roups Clash
OicSnt to
tion. At last reports the three
groups of WBB members were
reported holding out stiffly in as
many positions—Labor for a for-
mula that would permit a major
pay rise to compensate for liv-
ing costs, management for tight
curbs to' hold down business costa,
and the public members some-
where in the middle. It takes five
votes in the nine-man board to
make a decision.
Talk has ranged around the
possibility that any formula fi-
nally accepted would permit pay
raises, by negotiation between
management and labor, of perhaps
eight to 10 percent from the levels
of some previous date. Labor
wants more than that and man-
agement less.

Mother To
Visit Here
From Wales
AFTER more than a year of
sacrifice to raise money for
the trip, a Welsh mother will
board the Queen Mary In March
to visit her daughter In El Reno
for six months.
Anxiously waiting Is Mrs. Ray-
mond E. Simmons of 1108 West
Walnut, who came here In 1946
from Wales.
Her mother, Mrs. L. Otmblett
of Monmouthsire, has washed
clothes and done housework and
baby sitting for other people so
she could save bit by bit for the
106-pound round trip fare.
The toll ol more than a year
and the love lor her only daugh-
ter has been rewarded. Mrs.
Gimblett will arrive in New York
on March 10 or March 11.
“It’s wonderful . . . that’s all
I can say.” Mrs. Simmons com-
mented. "Peggy,’’ as she is
known here, married Simmons
overseas when he was a GI sta-
tioned in the British isles.
* * * >
VERS. GIMBLETT, who also
"■k has lour sons, nursed her
bedridden husband for eight
years until hto death In 1848.
She had lour sons, but they had
outside Interests, and she longed
for h^r daughter. The next best
thing was to visit Peggy, and
one day Mrs. Otmblett decided
to do it.
A widow’s pension and some
funds from two sons at home
were the only sources of Income
for Peggy's mother. So she
started from scratch to raise the
money. After months of hard
work and doing without the
barest luxuries. Mrs. Glmblett's
“ambition account" is full.
Overjoyed, Peggy had Just one
hope that may not be realised.
She and her husband originally
planned to go to New York to
meet her mother. But now, pos-
sibly on the exact day of arrival,
Simmon* will go on active duty
with the 22M bombardment
wing.
“But he may be at Tinker field
far awhile,” Peggy said. “I do
hope be can see my mother.''

Sale Slated
To Remedy
Beef Problem
Forty will be released soon from
the El Reno reformatory. Warden
W. H. Hardwick said today, and
without even a parole board hear-
ing.
"There a/ just (too many here,"
the warden said. “We have more
than we need.”
More than 50 invitations will be
sent out to interested persons In
Canadian county who would like to
care for the released ones. They're
all beautiful females who have
drawn complimentary remarks from
residents in the area.
Anyone Interested In purchasing
40 two-year-old Black Angus heif-
ers can contact the chief clerk at
the reformatory and put in a bid.
The stock Is first class, Hardwick
said. Date ol sale will be sometime
within the next two weeks. Exact
day will be announced soon after
the weather situation clears.
The cattle will be sold In lots of
10 head each, Hardwick explained.
One person may buy all of them If
his bid is acceptable.
The reformatory won't be lacking
meat after the sale, either. Another
420 head of cattle will remain on
the 1500 acres of pasture land.
The land was given to the re-
formatory by the agriculture de-
partment In 1MT under a plan to
develop a eeU-aufflclent meat sup-
ply. From a skimpy stock of M
cows and calves, the pasture now
has 400 cattle.
Now that the objective has been
achieved, the reformatory wants to
sell 40 head and use the funds to
buy feed and commodities, Hard-
wick said.
He pointed out that Inmates were
on a standard diet and were re-
ceiving their regular requirement*
of meat.
