set, Dutton, Verden and Anadarko
to be captured before the close OF
what promised this morning to be a
none too perfect day from a weather
standpoint, the Chickasha boosters
set sail this morning at $3.50 on the
first leg of their three-day trade
tour.
Major-General John Crib, in com
mand of the brigade, headed the col

and picked up speed enroute. Fol
lowing Crib in the pilot car were

summer we had the Chickasha band
braved the elements at o'clock and
limbered up the old lips with a few
jazz tunes just to see if the bass
drum was in tune. With everything
satisfactory they settled down in

co at II o'clock where arrangements
had been made to feed the boosters.
The afternoon trip included the
towns of Pocasset, Dutton, Verden

son that the probable condition of
the roads might delay the tourists
to such an extent that it would be
impossible to make the town. 1t was
determined finally to make Anadarko
if such a feat were at all possible,
even at the necessity of arriving
back in Chickasha at late hour
Big Day Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the big day of the
three-day trip. They get away at
$50 and after a stop at Norge are
due to hit the Cement oil field for
an inspection of the various wells.
Cyril and Fletcher are next on the
bill, but at a meeting last night it
was partially determined to cut
Fletcher from the list because of the
fact that the afternoon schedule is
extremely heavy, taking in Duncan,
NARROW, Sterling, Rush Springs and
Ninnekah Final decision on tomor-
rows route will be made after the
trip today and if possible both Fletch-
er and Duncan will be included in
the route. The plan now is to take
dinner tomorrow at NARROW and sup
per at Ninnekah.
