In Forming New
Newspaper Corp.
The announcement was made
the past week of a corporation
of several western Oklahoma
newspapers, involving a former
publisher of the Perkins Journal.
The Great American News Co.
Inc., of which Bob Evans is vice
president, general manager, and
s(ockholder, purchased news-
papers in Selling, Viol, and Lee-
dey. Plans call for a commer-
cial job printing plant and other
newspapers to be added to the
company in the near future.
The other major stockholder
of the corporation is Earnest Ho-
berecht, who has been a vice-
president of United Press In-
ternational (UPI) and involved
in other business enterprizes.
Evans, who sold the Perkins
Journal to Roland Sodowsky in
1959, has been publishing the
Dew.ey County News in Selling
since that time. He is remem-
bered in Perkins as being an ac-
tive civic worker and has helped
to promote Selling to be one of
the outstanding towns in western
Oklahoma.
One of the mai n objectives of
the newly formed corporation is
to give the communities a paper
that will help promote theix area
without the mechanical problems
of most small town newspapers.
These plans call for a centralized
production plant in Selling, with
all the newsapers having a home
operated news staff.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lacy are the
paeents of Yvonne, Bob's wife.
The Evans have two children,
Joel and Lacy.

Election To Be Held May 9
After many months of hard
work by people interested in
vocational-technical education
in Payne County, a meeting Man,
day evening with the Perkins
Board of Education revealed
that the State Board for Vocat-
ional Education has approved an
election to decide whether the

vantage of government /unds
allotted for this cause.
John Hopper, a representative
of the State Board of Vocational
Education, explained that a dis-
trict comprised of Payne, Creek,
Pawnee and Lincoln counties
had been approved as a district
to pool their local funds and stu-
dents to organize a school with

The election, which will be
2:00 to 6:00 p.m., will ask the fol-
lowing:
"Shall the territory compris-
ing this school district be includ-
ed in an Area School District
that will provide vocational and-
or technical education for secon-
dary students, and adults, and-or
other eligible students; said
Area School District to be est-
eblished, maintained and operat-
eel as provided by Section 9B,

lion?
This election is not asking for
a mill levy, but is entitling the
Perkins school district to be in--
eluded in the organization which
will elect its own vocationa
Board of Education from four
zones within the approved dis-,
trier.
This board will then study the
problems of a site, and estimate
costs. After this phase is ac-
complished, the board deducts
all matching funds and is then
able to determine a prolaosed
tax levy.
The estimated levy for ihe
Vo-Tech. district is only to be
about three mills. The facil-
ities gained from the proposition
lrom these three mills would
never be obtained for any one
of the area schools envolved,
but 'by pooling resources it is
possible.
This proposed school wouldnot
only teach our junior and senior
grade studenLq highly echnicaI
skills, such as electronics, appli-
ance repair, food services, and
others (subject to be decided by
Vo-Tech Board). but will also
be open for night school to ad-
ults.
All of these areas of educat-
ion are needed in business, and
our present universities are not
geared to handle the big demand
of vocational training that is
needed to keep up.
The official notice of this el-
ection can be found in another
part of this Lsue. More in-
formation will be available in
laer issues of the Journal on
/his prodosa l.
