Could decide
championship
in Mid-State
By Wayne Rodgers

The bow and arrow Will be
sent against the claws of a
Cor some) tiger Tor tigersl
tomorrow night. Who will win
is completely unknown but
who ever does will have the
distinction of being the only
tribe, or pack, on top of the
heap in the great battlefield
of football in the Mid : State
Conference. This will be de-
.cided by the meeting of the
only two undefeated teams
in the Mid-State.
The Durant Tigers take on
the Alderman Indians tomor-
row night in Durant's home
coming game at s PM. 1t
could prove to be a sweet
and happy homecoming if the
Green Tigers win, but by the
same token, sadness could
come to the hearts of Tiger
town folks if their beloved
|Greenies should drop the con-
test.
Downing the Indians is a
feat that no Mid-State team
has been able to accomplish.
have defeated everyone
in the league except the
|Greenies and North Carroll
ton. An Alderman win would
|cinch the championship for
the Indians since Durant has
suffered a tie at the hands OF
McAdams.
Aside from the tie the Tig-
ers have defeated Walden, 10
to z, and North Carrollton,
SO to O. They must meet Ac-
herman, Ethel, and of course,
their rivals of long standing,
from the county seat. I won't
bother to say who that is,
since everyone who doesn't
know, doesn't care about foot
ball, anyway.
Ackerman's record is 4
wins, no losses, in conference
play, and 4 and / overall.
Duartn's league record is two
wins and a tie, while they
have a 3-2-1 overall record.
In points scored, Alderman
has racked up So to SO for its
opponents. The Greenies have
lat to As. In conference games
Alderman has scored "a
points to it's opponents 46.
The Grennies have 1872 to Is.
1t must be noted that Durant
scored 81 of its 1875 points
against North Carrollton,
while the Indians have not
played them.
This is the big one that both
teams have down as a must,
since an indicated confer.
ence record this late in the
season goes a long way D.
ward winning the league title.
1t promises to he one of the
top games in the conference
this season so all football
fans as well as Tiger fans
are urged to see this game.
Game time again is 8 PM.

Teachers Thin Out
 Crocodile Crop in Uganda

FORT PORTAL, Uganda B - Crocodiles, which slither off the banks of the Victoria Nile and help give Uganda the appearance of Tarzan movie, are threatened with extinction in this area.
 The main enemies, officials say, are poaching gangs in the Murchi- son Falls big games park. Officials believe big business syndicates are backing the gangs in their hunt for skins for purses and other articles.
 Col. C. D. Trimmer, Director of the Uganda National Parks, said there is real danger that the crocodile may well be eliminated in the foreseeable future.
 ''That would be a great loss to the tourist industry and tragedy for wild life conservation, Trim mer said.
 The vast Murchison Falls Park, to the north of Fort Portal, is difficult place to police. Hunting is illegal and heavy fines are inn posed if poachers are caught.
 Teachers usually work at night and attack crocodiles from canoes. After they collect enough skins, especially of the young crocodile which brings the highest price, they escape by land.

Public Health Service Study Birth Deformities In Nevada and Utah

WASHINGTON LR - The Pub lie Health Service is trying to de- termine if there is any connection between certain types of cancer and birth defOrmities in Nevada and Utah and radiation from the Nevada nuclear test site
 The study may lead to nation wide investigation of the relation ship between radiation exposure and thyroid cancer, bone cancer. leukemia and congenital malfor- nations.
 Surgeon General Luther Terry announced Friday the Health Serv- ice is stepping up investigations of death rates from these causes in Nevada and Utah in coopera- tion with health departments of the two states.
 The stepped-up investigations were prompted by recent reports that Nevada and Utah had been exposed to far higher levels of radioactive iodine than previously thought
 Terry said that so far, no signi- ficant differences have been dis covered between leukemia death rates in Nevada and Utah and other parts of the country over the past 13 years.

Standard Oil Will Cut One Cent a
 Gallon on Gasoline

NIKISKI, Alaska R - Stand ard Oil Go. of California opened its big new refinery on Alaska'S Kenai Peninsula south of Anchor age Saturday, and simultaneously announced a one-cent gallon re- duction in prices of gasoline and other petroleum products through out the state.
 H. c. Vesper, president of Stand ards Western Operations, Inc, announced the price cute in his speech at the opening ceremonies of the firms new $10 million pro- cessing plant.
 The price reduction on motor fuel, diesel, furnace and stove oil will be applicable to all Alaska points and will be into effect Sept. l.
 ''The completion of the refinery makes possible several transpor- tation savings and we think it only proper that Alaskan consumers should benefit from this saving" Vesper said.
 There was no immediate indi- cation from other oil companies whether they would follow Stand ards lead.
 Gasoline prices would drop a cent a gallon in the Anchorage area, for example, from the cur rent price of 48-50 cents a gallon
 The refinery will not process automobile gasoline, but will handle most other kinds of petro- leum and fuel oil and aviation fuel.
 "These (price) reductions mean that a very substantial amount of money which would otherwise have gone into transportation of oil products will be pumped back into Alaska's economy for the pur- chase of additional goods and services of all types" Vesper said
 Standard was aided by state civic and industrial leaders and hundreds of Alaskans glad to vel come industrial progress as the new refinery was unveiled at the site here.
 Cloudy and overcast skies fail ed to dampen the enthusiasm of the invited guests as Gov. Wm. Egan and Vesper took part in the dedication.
 The ceremony included uncover ing a 36-foot red cedar totem pole erected near the Administration Bldg. at the refinery. The totem, representing the development of the oil industry in Alaska through authentic Indian symbols, was carved by Alaska natives at Haines.
 Dedication of the refinery came 73 years after the ancestor con- panies of the present Standard Corp. began it's service in Alaska.
 The refinery is the first mod ern crude oil distillation plant in Alaska. It is located near the Swanson River oil field on the Kenai Peninsula, the site of the first major oil strike in Alaska's s modern and growing petroleum industry.
