the census among Eastern Okla

William M. Siegenthaler, area

The interpreters speak Cherokee

said no interpreters were needed for
the oil-wealthy Osages.
Many Indians insist that the
enumerator remain for dinner after
they've answered the questions.
Enumerator June Poplin said she
had encountered only one disgrun-

He really got angry at the ques-

CLIO. Fights Changes

Opposition Also Seen
House Republicans Free
To Vote as They Wish on
Pay, Labor Law Revisions
By the Associated Press,

oy the Associated Press.
G. I. o. opposition to three sets of
Wage-Hour Act amendments was
made known today, coincidentally
with forecasts that some House Re
publicans would oppose drastic re-
visions.
The proposals, exempting various
employe groups from wage-hour
standards, will come before the
House Thursday as prelude to
hard-fought debate over amending
the Wagner Labor Relations Act
The Senate, however. may not take
up either item at this session.
G. I. o. approval Of the wage hour
law as it stands was voiced In a
report by John L. Lewis, who de-
clared that proposed amendments
were devised by "reactionary Garner
Democrats" and were intended to
weaken the act.
Not Made Party Issue.
Republican lawmakers said that
neither the Wage-Hour nor the
Wagner Act amendments had not
made a party issue.
Instead, it was said, the Repub-
icans would be left free to vote as
they please, with local issues govern
ing them in many cases. There was
Democratic speculation that this
would serve to temper the opposition
because Of heavy labor votes in some
Republican districts.
The most far-reaching Of the
wage-hour amendments have been
offered by Representative Barden,
Democrat, of North Carolina. They
would exempt from both wage and
hour standards a long list of en-
ployes of agricultural professors and

Efficient Service of Firemen

the Times Office offered a want
age point for viewing all the

of a thrill to watch first one

other hurrying figure turn the
corner and pass out of sight,
all in a fleet second. In an in
creditably short time the en-

crowded with fremen, all
dressed for and prepared to
meet any emergency. Our

praise, for such speed, loyalty
and dependability with which
they serve the people of Smyr-

they drop everything they are
doing and run as if their very
lives depended on it, for some
ones life may indeed depend
on just that. 1t is singularly
fine and noble, and the citizens
of this town must appreciate
it, and give to them full and |

keep YOUR TROUBLES
TO YOURSELVES, GIRLS

THE old saw about weep, and
i you weep alone" is still very
good thought for teen age girls to
hold on to. The tendency to tell
ones troubles is often the basic
cause of a mysterious unpopularity
which puzzles girl in school or
among her friends.
Although it is slim comfort and
annoying to hear, very few troubles
are as real or important as they
seem. Certainly they are poor ma
terial for conversation. According
to Henrietta Ripperger who gives
Tips to the Teens" in the February
issue of Good Housekeeping, the
way particular problem is handled
makes all the difference.
The money question is very apt
to rear its ugly head in the case of
the average high school girl. There
are always a few in every crowd
who seem to have limitless allow
ances and quite unconsciously make
the rest of the girls feel like paupers
when they all make little shopping
excursions. According to Miss Rip
perger, the method for handling that
little difficulty is to save odd dimes
and quarters and make the most of
them. The extra piece of fudge cake
might be bad for a young COM
plexion, anyway, and two pieces of
fudge cake will buy one gardenia
for friend at the right moment.
Or, perhaps, the figure doesn't
seem to shape up properly. That's
another ever-present vexation in the
teens. Proper exercising-and it
doesn't need very much time-wiIl
eliminate most of the Jumps in
wrong places. In short, little intel
ligent thought will do much to
stralghten out the world for young
girls, if they will do the thinking
themselves. 1t doesn't help to be told.
the idea is for the 'teener to look
squarely at her problem and deal
with it as impersonally as she would
advise friend on the purchase of
a hat.
