referred it to the 50 state legislatures 35 have adopted it.

over three states which
adopted it but later rescinded the action.
The amendment is short, only 24 words:
"EquaUtT of rights under the law shah not be
denied or abridged by the United States or by any
Ihllo on ilCCOUnt of sax."
Some people have a strong reaction to that. They
imagine all sort of bad changes if it becomes law. Some
opponents say women would use the same rest room as

March 17 Trip set for
Teams and Pep Club
The Perkins-Tryon basket-
ball team and pep club trip to
Oklahoma City is set for
March 17.
While in the city we will be
dribbling to Shotgun Sam's
for pizza and then hustling
on to the Ice Chalet for an
evening of ice skating before
boarding the bus to Perkins
for a late snack in the
lunchroom.
While there is no charge
for the kids, any parent
wishing to attend are
welcome at $2.50 for pizza
and $2.50 for skating. There
is no charge for spectators at
the Ice Chalet.
Any parent interested in
going or helping with the trip
contact: Ken C1ose-547-2677
on your phone or "cowchip"
on your C.B.
The cost of taking 60 kids
is $300. To make the
financing of the trip a
community effort, we are
attempting to get $5.00 from
60 different businesses or
individuals and we'll accept
no more than $10.00 per
person.
Anyone wishing to help
can leave • donation to "The
Perkins-Tryon Basketball
Fund" with Margie Jarvis at
the Payne County Bank, or
call Ken close and we will
pick it up anywhere in the
world.
Any left over money will
be in the Perkins-Tryon
athletic fund to help finance
future trips or after game
meals, or other on the road
trips for football, basketball,
baseball, or track teams.

men and that women would be subject to military draft.
But those extremes, like all speculation as to its appli-
cation, would have to be enacted into law by congress
or state legislatures.
Tho ERA provides that women and men be equal
under the law. It does not say they are the same, only
that the law cannot treat them differently solely because
of their sex. ERA applies to government action, but not
to private action.
ERA adoption failed in three earlier sessions. Monday
it was scheduled for release by a house committee.
Opponents are trying to rush a quick vote this week.
They are tired of the heat they are getting from both
sides. Also, if they can beat it, ERA is dead until a new
legislature convenes in ]979. Defeat in Oklahoma could
wreck ERA nationally since we are one of four states
considered "most likely" to adopt.
Removing the sales tax on gas and electric bills has
set off opposition by officials in several cities and towns.
They say they cannot afford the revenue lost from local
sales taxes. Officials of the State Department of Insti-
tutions and Rehabilitative Services are gloomy over an
estimated $20 million loss on the sales tax funds they
receive.
Sen. Pres. Gone Howard is trying to calm their fears.
He proposes the state take over maintenance of state
and federal highways through cities and towns. That
would more than make up for the loss. DIgS would
receive a direct appropriation from the greatly increased
tax Howard proposes on natural gas at the wellhead.
Advertising of eyeglasses stands a 6-5 chance of
passage by a house committee this week. Several bills
have been introduced in both the house and senate to
repeal the ban on eyeglass ads. All but one have gone
to committees made up of members unlikely to approve
them. Opponents fear these bills getting before either
body where a record vote would be taken.
Optometrts thb so.ton are pushing a bill to allow
them to dispense drugs and touch the eyes in their
examination. Sponsors are Morgan in the house, Berrong
in the senate.

GOING INTO BUSINESS
SEMINAR SET
Individuals planning to go
into business for themselves
or those owning new
businesses have been invited
to attend a workshop for
small business people to be
held at Central Tech on
March 17, 1977.
This one-day seminar will
be conducted in the Seminar
Center with sessions beginn-
ing at 8:00 a.m. and
concluding at 5:00 p.m.
"If you are thinking about
going into business, many
factors must be considered.
Too often the same mistakes
are made by new businesses
and failure is the result. At
this workshop, we will teach
the fundamentals about
business ownership," said
Benny Vanatta, Director,
Industrial and Adult Educa-
tion, who is coordinating the
workshop.
Guest speakers will dis-
cuss such topics as basic
considerations in starting
your business, sources of
capital, planning and organi-
zation, business regulations,
taxes and insurance obliga-
tions, keeping business
records, sales and promotion
and information, self-train-
ing and assistance.
The workshop is being
co-sponsored by Central
Tech, Oklahoma State De-
partment of Vocational and
Technical Education, Inter-
nal Revenue Service, Okla.
homa Bankers Association
and the Small Business
Administration. Tuition for
the course is $25 and
includes all material, supp-
lies and lunch.
Persons desiring addi-
tional information should
contact Central Tech, Becky
Hensely, 352-2553.
Men of Zeal
"Experience should teach us
to be most on guard to protect
liberty when the government's
purposes are beneficent. Men
born to freedom are naturally
alert to repel invasion of their
liberty by evil-minded rulers.
The greatest dangers to liberty
lurk in insidious encroach-
ments of men of zeal .... "
--Justice Louis Brandeis
Steam Engine on Dead Center
The Federal Forces are in
a "hangup" situation over
the energy crisis and acts
like a steam engine on dead
center. Before we can
accomplish anything, we
must get off dead center in
order that the machine will
proceed under it's own
power. We are trying to
solve our troubles by seeking
"input" from many angles.
The world "input" has been
overworked since it has been
in the dictionary less than a
decade and was coined for
measurement of BTU's
required for heating in order
to obtain the required
amount of heat for a given
purpose known as "output"
in BTU's. The input is
always more than the output
and denotes loss in energy in
transfer of said heat.
President Carter's effort to
gain input by many mea-
sures are being completely
ignored by the Federal
Bureaucracy, especially by
the Federal Energy Com-
mission. By their mysterious
and complicated calcuhtions
they have decided that our
oil men are allowed to
overcharge for their products
and have ordered a rollback
of 20% cutback in certain
petroleum products.
Now selling for an average
of $11.50 per barrel with
much of Oklahoma's old oil
bringing only $5.33 a barrel
with a free market value of
$14.15, a level allowed only
for stripper well production.
The system of controlling
prices is of course to hold
down the price the consumer
pays for petroleum products.
These low prices have
resulted in a slow down in
search and find of new
production with a greater
dependency on imported
high priced oil benefitting
foreign producers with bil-
lions of dolhrs going out of
the country that should be
used in increasing our home
supply.
The FEA in unwilling for
our companies to receive the
same price being paid to
foreign producers. Oil com-
panies would be willing to an
excess profit tax and to put
excess down on feed to a
dairy herd and dividing the
reduced supply to an ever
growing consumer market.
We need less control over
the energy suppliers and
more production from rest-
ricted deposits.
Our own Governor, David
Boren says the Federal
Energy Commission's action
is terrible. If we are to have
an ample supply there must
be some changes made in
both theory and practice.
Well we should have some
action down at the Capitol
this week on ERA. From all

indications, it will be close
with both sides claiming
enough votes in their hind
pockets for success and
defeat. It+s a highly explo-
sive subject. My old friend
from the Freedom Hills,
Colonel Archie Lee of the
Red Bay News reports that
it's March now and many
things are coming to life. He
says it's hard to sit still and
concentrate on "What's half
of two-thirds" when the
birds are returning and
picking out places for their
nest and the daffodils
pushing through the ground.
It's just time to sit on the top
rail of a fence or the bottom
of a tree and just watch
things bend in the wind. I
would just guess that "ale
Arch" is tuning up his
ancient dulcimore for an old
timer's festival of good old
country boy music and
gadgets of yesteryear. On
second thought, it may be a
"Dulcimer". But what ever
it is, it makes pleasant music
for the ear.
