Ripley mothers and
newborn should use
different water
Carl Parrott, Sanitarian for
the Payne County Health
Department has issued the
following statement in
regard to the Ripley Water
problem:
"All expectant mothers
and parents with newborn in-
fants up to six months of
age should use another
source of water due to the
confirmation of high nitrate
levels in the present water
supply."
Parrott added that there is
no need to conserve water for
external use, etc. Although
boiling water for human
consumption is a necessary
precaution, it has no effect
whatsoever on the nitrate
level. Therefore, expectant
mothers and parents of in-
rants are asked to seek an-
other source of drinking
water.
In the Ripley town elec-
tion, April 5, Lana Richard-
son was elected as city clerk
with 42 votes over the utility
clerk, Corn Stewart's 24
votes. The Journal inadvert.
antly named Mrs. Stewart as
the City Clerk in a story in
May 5 issue.
Lana Richardson's office is
located at the tag agency,
and she was not available by
telephone for further com
meat concerning the town
water problem.
Your vote cancelled?
Did you vote in the state-
wide elections last Fall? If
not you will soon be receiv-
ing a notice that your voter
registration will be can-
celled as of June 1 unless the
notice is signed and returned
to the county election board
in the county in which you
are registered.
Nolda Selph, Secretary
of the Payne County Election
Board, requests all voters
who will be leaving for the
summer to leave a forward-
ing address so the notifica-
tion will be delivered.
The +notification will be
mailed prior to June 1. If the
voter signs the card and re-
turns it to the county election
board by June 30 the regis-
tration will be automatically
re-instated. If the voter fails
to return the signed card that
person's registration will be
cancelled and the voter must
re -register.
Payne County has 5,664
voters who failed to vote in
any of the three (3) state-
wide elections in 1976. No-
tices will be mailed to each.
Ms. Selph said her office is
interested in seeing that
each receives the notifica-
tion and asks the cooperation
of voters in leaving a for-
warding address.

Lions White +Cane Week helps blind
The Lions Club met for
their regular monthly dinner
meeting Monday evening.
Mrs. Biggs, Perkins Speech
Instructor and students,
Keith Tarlton, Tom Tinnell,
Dean Oliver and Bobby
Reynolds presented a tele-
vision skit on news and
sports. Forty-one Lions were
present.
Another guest, Bob Bretz,
Bartlesville, who is affiliated
with the IOA Ranch, was
present. A report was given
by Lewis Edwards, board
member for the I'OA. Some
decisions will be forthcoming
in regard to the Lions project
at the State Lions Club
Meeting in Miami, Okla. on
May 13 + and 14. At least five
local Lions plan to attend this
meeting. "
Ray Henderson, who is in
charge of the Lions White
Cane project, reports a thank
you note was received from a
local youngster. The child
and family expressed their
appreciation for new glasses
to replace the broken ones.
"It had been so hard to see.
Now getting my glasses fixed

the note stated.
Henderson said this was
the second school child
helped this past year. "We
are especially interested in
two types of people,"
Henderson added. "The
children and the aged are of
special interest to us."
The Lions will sponsor the
White Cane Week. They will
place containers over the
town. However, it is doubtful
there will be enough so
contributions may be made
to any local Lions Club
member.
