separates the upper two
heart chambers. Blood
mixing in the area caus-
es great tiredness, and,
eventually, death.
She was born with the
defect, but it was not
discovered until last
year. An A student, she
had been out of school
the last two years be-
cause her physical ac-
tivities were limited.
-Since the family
moved to Oklahoma
City, Mrs. Kelly has
been unable to work.
Her husband, a con-
struction worker, died
four years ago.
“There's just too
much to do. I have to
take care of the chil-
dren. That's a lot of
washing and cleaning
and cooking,” she said.
Previously she had
worked at odd jobs in
Atoka, mostly as a wait-
ress.
Her next older daugh-
ter, Sue. 15. also had
worked in Atoka as a
car hop.
Despite all her trials,
Mrs. Kelly still has spir-
it.
It shows in her deter-
mination to keep the
family together. To
keep the children
clothed and fed and
looking neat.
All of her income is
supplied by the welfare
department.
As soon as Shirley is
well enough to travel,
Mrs. Kelly plans to re-
turn the family to Ato-
ka. "It is cheaper to
live there,” she said
Wednesday. "Rent and
food are cheaper.”
Rev. Neal L. Hufford,
pastor of Second Metho-
dist Church at 215 N
McKinley, around the
corner from the Kelly
home, has been trying
to help.
“We’re not a rich
church.
"But we are worship-
ful. Our members are
generous in helping oth-
ers in need. And we in-
vestigate requests for
aid.”
Mr. Hufford said all
Mrs. Kelly has asked
for was help for Shirley.
"She's never asked for
anything else,” he said.
"It's pretty hard for
them to get by. They
don't have a phone or
car or television.
"Yet the c h i I d r e n
aren't wearing rags or
going hungry. They
dress about as neatly as
the average family," he
said.
Mr. Hufford described
the children as quiet.
Shirley, from his con-
versations with her.
wants to go back to
school and finish her ed-
ucation. She’s also in-
terested in working with
youngsters.
“They’re ambitious,”
he said. "A real Chris-
tian family.”
All Mrs. Kelly has ac-
cepted from the churc is
cepted from the church
is blood donations and
hospital. Some of the
time she has been tak-
ing taxis, the minister
said.
"She’s the type of per-
son who hesitates to ask
for anyhing. I really ad-
mire her courage,” he
said.
Mrs. Kelly didn't
sleep Tuesday night.
She went to the hospital
early Wednesday to see
her daughter before sur-
gery and then waited
until the operation was
completed.
The girl will ■ remain
In the hospital another
two or three weeks. The
family will stay in the
city until then.
“We hope to be able
to return to Atoka,”
Mrs. Kelly said, “and
maybe start over.
There’s a lot to do."

A drive-in at SW 71 and Western is burning trash in
an open barrel. Could this be stopped before it causes a
serious neighborhood fire? Mrs. H. M. McN.
Fire marshal John D. Anderson says this business
has been advised not to use open containers again to
burn trash. They have been re-checked several times,
the fire marshal says, and appear to be abiding by the
city ordinance.
•
There is a vacant lot covered with weeds at NW 49
and Meridian that sure needs to be cut. Can you get it
done? Mrs. 4. E. W.
We reported this to D. C. Cleveland, director of the
environmental health division of the city-county health
department, and these weeds have now been cut.
•
Will you see if you can do something about Deep
Fork Creek between the bridge just north of NW 39 to
the culvert under V. S. 66 to the east of this bridge. The
creek is strewn with logs, pieces of lumber and brush on
the north bank. Miss H. M.
We took this up with Forrest Keene, assistant direc-
tor of the department of public works. He says the debris
has been removed, the weeds have been cut and 1,200
yards of silt has been taken out of the creek bed.
•
There are no street markings on the west lane of
Britton Rd. as you approach N Western. There is room
tor two lanes of traffic, but drivers have to form one
Inna and this creates a bottleneck. Can something be
done? C. McK.
James H. Robinson, traffic control director, says
there is not sufficient room for two lanes in this area be-
cause of the angle parking, permitted by city ordinance.
This is the reason that only a solid white center line is
painted there.

would be appointed, “but
there was nothing we
could do to counter it.”
Also in Tuesday’s ballot-
ing, voters approved the
third part of the legislative
court plan. That was State
Question 459 which amend-
ed the jury system.
Question 459 provides
that non-jury trials shall
be held in civil actions
where damages are less
than $100 and in criminal
cases where the fine is less
than $100. A six-member
jury is provided in misde-
meanor cases and in civil
actions of less than $2,500.
The election's biggest
margin was given to Ques-
tion 454 which removes the
constitutional limit on in-
terest rates. That question
drew a 77 percent affirma-
tive vote.
Passage paves the way
for a state consumer cred-
it code so the state can be
exempt from the federal
"truth-in-lending" 1 a w.
States have until July 1 to
enact such codes or come
under federal regulation.

Gathering
Elected officials from all
Oklahoma counties were ar-
riving in Oklahoma City
Wednesday to start their an-
nual two-day meeting.
An Oklahoma County offi-
cial who will be involved in
the sessions said new offi-
cers will be elected to serve
for a year, and some strate-
gy sessions leading to the
November general election
will be on the program agen-
da.
Elected officials active in
the association include coun-
ty clerks, court clerks, coun-
ty treasurers, and assessors.
The association actively
opposed the Sneed Plan of
court reform, which Oklaho-
ma voters rejected at the
polls Tuesday, during the
run-off primary election.

Wallace Pledge
VERSAILLES, Ky. (AP)
— Former Gov. A. B. Chan-
dler said Wednesday he nev-
er committed himself to sup-
port third party presidential
candidate George Wallace,
even though he almost be-
came W a 11 a c e's running
mate.
(Continued from Page 1)
but many of his remarks
were wrapped in anger
He said the nation is
waging a war in the namp
of democracy, but while
doing it, requires the black
citizens to be non-violent
in obtaining their rights in
a democracy.
“As long as Negroes
walk the streets singing
‘We Shall Overcome.'
they’ll bo gunned down
and our churches will be
bombed,” Gregory said as
he accused the nation of
becoming "insane.”
The Negro leader, who
has been jailed repeatedly
since 1963 at civil rights
demonstrations, came to
Oklahoma for three cam-
pus speeches. He is sched-
uled to talk at Oklahoma
State University Wednes-
day night and at the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma Fri-
day night.
Gregory is expected to
collect more than $3,000
for his three appearances.
Dr. William Hale, Langs-
ton president who intro-
duced Gregory Wednes-
day, said the former come-
dian will get $800, paid out
of the student fund, for his
Langston appearance.
Gregory said he is still
stumping the country as a
write-in candidate for ihe
U. S. presidency because
he is "sick and tired of the
injustice."
He said if America
would become as afraid of
injustices at home as it is
communism abroad, this
could be a great country.
"If Negroes die in Viet-
nam they can’t even get
buried in integrated cemo-
t e r i e s in their home
towns," he said.
Gregory then said, "But
If you are rraz.y enough to
go to Vietnam, be a good
‘nigger’ over there." The
students laughed and
cheered at the remark.
Gregory then turned to a
serious note and said that
the Negro must face reali-
ty and understand what is
happening in this country.
He said freedom has
been strangled by lawmak-
ers who refuse to respect
the Bill of Rights, and
lashed out at President
Johnson as "the evil of ihp
evils."
The speaker said if Ne-
groes votp Democratic in
this year's election, they
will votp the wisdom of a
fool. He said the Republi-
can candidate (Nixon) of-
fers no better hope.
Gregory told his audi-
ence that they don't have
to destroy capitalism but
should "beat it down be-
hind the constitution." He
said black and white are
no longer colors bui an ati-
titude.
"They can call me nig-
ger because we still have
freedom of expression but
don't put a rope around
mV neck," he said.
Gregory said that equali-
ty has been mortgaged at
a price that is too high and
"Ihe payments In years of
patience, suffering, endur-
ance and hope are now in
default because black peo-
ple and other minorities,
especially the Indian, rec-
ognized they have bpen^
cheated."
He said bl.|ck students
must demand a full share
of American constitutional
rights now.

likes the idea.
James White, URA exec-
utive director, said his
staff will likely move into
the new quarters in mid-
November.
He said the URA board
decided on the Colcord
Building Tuesday night.
“It will facilitate us very
well," White said. “We
surveyed all the buildings
downtown and found this
one at the best price."
White said URA person-
nel will move into three
floors in the Colcord Build-
ing.
Urban Renewal now
headquarters where a pla-
za will be constructed con-
necting with the proposed
new 35-story Liberty Na-
tional Bank Building.
Construction of the new
building is slated to begin
next January 31.
“We’d insist we'd be
moving into the building
by C h r i s t m a s,” White
said.
He said Colcord Building
management had told the
board it would take 69
days to have the npw quar-
ters in shape.
He emphasized he does |
not anticipate the URA
force will again be s
forced transient because of
urban renewal.
"That one of the rea-
sons we picked the build-
ing." he said. "We didn't
want to move again.”
Spain Has First Heart Switch

of nine surgeons headed by
the son-in-law of Francisco
Franco, Dr. Cristobal Marti-
nez Bordiu, completed
Spain's first heart transplant
Wednesday in a La Paz Clin-
ic.
The recipient, Juan Rodri-I
guez Grille, a 44-year-old
plumber, was reported in
good condition. The donor
was a Spanish woman killed
in an accident.
