Right Turn
Early-morning travelers on a strip of 1-35 in Oklaho-

entrance — the aftermath of a three-vehicle accident that
overturned a gravel truck.
Trooper L G. Enterline of the highway patrol said
the accident occurred about 1:30 a.m. when the gravel-
loaded truck, driven by William Snider, 41, Oklahoma
City, struck the rear of a car driven by Wayne Coffin. 44.
Norman, knocking it into a compact car driven by Lynda
F. Montgomery. Midwest City.
Officers said the impact overturned the truck and
flipped Miss Montgomery's car onto its top and across
the center median.
Snider was admitted to Mercy Hospital with head
lacerations and shoulder injuries. The other drivers were
uninjured.

City National Bank may be forced to move from its

loosens its restrictions on drive-in facilities, an officer of
the bank warned Tuesday.

institution is hemmed in and unable to obtain suitable facil-
ities for drive-in facilities within 1,000 feet of the bank as
required by present law. _ Rl, . Dia,

The committee voted progress on the bill. Unless ac-

Farm Operations Slowed
Last week's heavy snow has slowed down state farm
operations, the Oklahoma Weekly Crop and Weather
Bulletin indicated Tuesday.
The report said overall range and pasture condition
has declined some as wet weather has caused dry grass
to deteriorate and soft soil has caused some cattle to be
moved off wheat pastures.
Condition of state wheat Is down a little from the
previous week, 81 percent being rated good or better.
This still is an improvement over this time last year,
when only 14 percent was above fair condition.

"Might this not get in the
