Last Week's Question
This Week's Question:
Some national polls indicate that the American people
think the energy crisis is contrived by special interests
and is not as serious as many say it is. How do you feel?
Do you think the United States really does face an
Energy Crisis?
There seems to be considerable traffic congestion on
Perkins Main Street making it difficult to back out,
enter the line of traffic or cross the street. Do you think
there should be another 4-way stop to break the traffic
flow?

Perkins will have a second park if
neighborhood plans are completed
Perkins will have a second
park soon if plans of a
neighborhood group in the
new subdivisions in the
southeast city limits mater-
ialize.
Marc Young, who lives on
Stansbury, said at Monday's
city council meeting that
developer Harland Wells and
residents of the area have
reached an agreement con-
cerning an area for a park
and would like to begin
developing the lot for that
purpose. They were asking
the city council what needed
to be done, and ff they could
start cleaning the lot.
Mayor Dewayne Maser
recommended the group
work through the Park and
Recreation Board. Bob Dick-
Three vehicles involved
son, Chairman of the board,
was present and suggested it
might be better if it was
done locally as a neighbor-
hood or community project
as opposed to a federally
funded project because of
the time element involved in
completing red tape and
plans before funding.
The group will meet with
the Park Board at their next
ineeting and bring plans of
how they would like to
develop the park. Young said
the only place for the many
young children in the area to
play was in the street.
The city fathers appointed
Bill Sasser, G. T. Bickell and
Bill Lott as purchasing
agents for their specific
departments.
in Friday wreck here
There were two other
ambulance runs to Perkins
during the afternoon Friday.
An ambulance was called to
the home of Mrs P. H. Jacks
when a car fell on her
grandson, James Price.
Chief Lott said that Price was
working under the front of
the car when it sl!tped from
a jack and fell on h.
Lott arrived at the scene,
Price was in the house. Price
told The Journal that the car
pinned his arm, but he was
able to work it free and make
it to the house. The arm was
in a cast for several days, but
is better now.
Shortly after Price was
taken to the hospital, an
ambulance was called when
Mrs. Earl Decker fainted
while in the post office. She
was taken to the Cushing
Hospital and Earl returned
her to her home Monday
morning in good condition.
Paul A. Busch, Jr., 29,
was taken by ambulance and
treated at Stillwater Hospital
Friday afternoon following a
three vehicle accident at the
corner of Kirk and Main
Streets about 4:10 p.m.
According to Police Chief
Bill LoWs reports, a 1976
Ford driven by Busch as
traveling north of Main when
a 1966 Chevrolet driven by
John Butch, 71, crossed
Main traveling east across
the path of the Busch
vehicle.
The impact knocked the
Burch car into the Hender-
son yard, and caused the
Busch vehicle to strike a 1966
model car driven by James
C. (Buck) Evans, who was
sitting at the stop sign
headed west.
There was approximately
$2000 to the Busch vehicle,
$1000 to the Butch vehicle,
and $200 to the Evans
vehicle.
[-Iarland Wells was pre-
sent to leave a preliminary
plan for the council's input
that will eventually lead to
development of the Lewis
property, which is the area of
land that is the north half of
the property that lies
between East Kirk Avenue
and Highway 33, except for
property owned by Ewing
Canady, Frank Cundiff, The
Free Methodist Camp
Grounds, Mr. Cross and
Jerry Sadler. The utility
entrances and roads and
streets were discussed. Final
platting of the subdivision
will be presented at a later
date.
The Council told Wells
that the city has been
notified they have been put
on the schedule for matching
funds for sewer improve-
ment and are eligible for
75%, 25% matching funds.
There is also an OZARKA
5% grant available, and it is
thought extensive sewer
disposal work will be
undertaken in the future.
Bob Dickson, president of
the Lions Club was present
to ask the city for $1000 to
match the $1000 the Lions
had put up to purchase Main
Street Christmas decorations
this year. The board
explained that there were no
unbudgeted funds available,
but that a hearing will be
held in October for public

Allan Wall represented
the Student Council in refer-
ence to modifying the pres-
ent dress code. The board
agreed the hair length codes
were no longer effective.
However, they denied the
students' request to replace
the old code (4-C) which
clearly defines prohibitive
dress which reads as follows:
"Clothing that displays any
lettering, figures, illustra-
tions, or anything that
implies vulgarity, immorality
and the use of alcohol and
drugs is prohibited."

Of special interest to the
board was the proposed
measure for rating the
instructors by certified per-
sonnel. The decision was in
the affirmative.

watch a choice Jack auctioned at the
grade student from Tryon
Elementary to Perkins Ele-
mentary School and the

gram.
First on the agenda was
Shelby Wyatt's recommen-
dations for allocated funds.
The Superintendent of Edu-
cation stated the District had
received $3%008 in State Aid
which is a salary increase of
30 percent for teachers.
Mr. Wyatt also announced
the new enrollment to date
was 809 which is down 4
from Sept. 2. The new fence
project is completed, and

The board also decided to
ask for sample chairs before
making a final decision on
this equipment. Proposed
meeting dates have been
filed with county clerk.
Wyatt advised the board of
one error for calendar year

given as Jan. 2, 1978 should
have been Thurs. Jan. 5 due
to the school holiday
were also given, along with
health certificates, pertain-
ing to all animals.
The highest price paid was
$4000 for Jan Jack, a 6 year
old Grumbein Jack. Very few
animals sold for less than
$750 to $1000. The lowest
price paid was for a Jenny
colt yearling and an 8 year
old Jennet.
A friend of Thomas E.
Berry at the Black Mammoth
Jack Sale said that this was a
"royal group of animals,
something that would never
be seen again,"
This attitude seemed
prevalent among both buyers
and observers.
