Council Scheduled in Adjourned Ses-
sion Tonight at City Hall to
Talk Paving and New
Bond Issue.

The Seventeenth street paving
proposition. the voting of bonds to
extend the city water and sewer
mains and to construct a concrete
bridge over Line creek on North
Sixth street are among the matters
to come before the city council,
scheduled to be in adjourned session
this evening in the city hall.
A committee representing Seven.
teenth street property owners met
in the office of Harry Mammerly,
city attorney, yesterday afternoon
and approved the plans for the paw
ing as drafted by John c. Milliken,
city engineer.
Declaring that inability to make
extensions in the water and sewer
mains has prevented much home
building activity here, 0. Coffman
said he favors the voting of bond
issue to extend the mains.

GRADY FIELD READY FOR FIRST
GAME or GRID SEASON; FANS TO
OCCUPY PLACES IN BIG STANDS

lowed to park inside the enclosure.
"The grandstand will furnish am
pie seating capacity for all tie fans
said Coach Woody 1T was built
there to be used by tho people
during athletic events. It's COOL
grandstand and will furnish comfort
able seats for everyone. A fan can
be as comfortable in the grandstand
and can see as much of the play
at a football game as he could st
a baseball game. 1t would be unfair
to allow a part of the fans to occupy
places on the Sidelines and require
others to sit in The grandstand The
crowds jamminS tie sidelines often
interfere with the players.
Grady field, without a doubt, fur
nishes the Chickasha high school with
the best high school football plant
in Oklahoma and am sure that
the fans, after seeing one game
from the stand, could not be driven
to a position along the sidelines
where they would be forced to stand
during the game.

CONCERT FRIDAY NIGHT
AT HIGH SCHOOL

High school students are putting
forth every effort to advertise and
sell tickets for the thinner Harp
Ensemble concert that is to be given
in the auditorium Friday night for
the benefit of the senior class trip
to Washington in the spring. The
entertainment consisting of three
harpists and a tenor vocalist is given
by TIE only group of its kind in the
country. comes highly recommended
from every community which it has
visited and promises to be n of the
popular attractions given by the
high school students. In the two
years of it's organization the thinner
Harp Trio and Raymond Simmonds
have appeared on 225 of the leading
courses of the east and its popular
ity this season is the cause of the
~cancelling of a South American tour
for which arrangements had already
been completed.
The harp, an unusual instrument
in modern times, when coming in a
group of three and supplemented by
a tenor of note is worthy of the
patronage of the community, aside
from the benefit for which the con-
cert will be given.
