Sun Oil Bottoms Nix Well
At12,705; Prepares Test
Sun Oil Company's No. 1
Nix, Hemphill County deep
wildcat, hit bottom Wednesday
morning at 12.705 teet.
Drilling was suspended yester-
day as operators prepared to run
electric log and set more casing
in preparation for testing oil and
gas shows further up the hole.
The well was bottomed in an
extremely hard formation. Drill-
ers had made only four feet of
hole in the last forty-eight hours.

heavy pressure zone encountered
late in December at about 9,770
feet. Testing was planned in this
and other shows encountered
since the well spudded in in
mid-October.
The Nix No. 1 is located 660
feet from the south and west
lines of Section 81, half a mile
north of U. S. Highway 83 and
less than three miles north of

Last Rites for
Mrs. Ruth Rupe
Held Tuesday
Funeral rites for Mrs. H. I.
Rupe, 47, were conducted Tues-
day morning at ten o'clock at
the First Christian Church, with
Jimmy Mitchell, minister, in
charge of the services.
Interment was in the Canadian
cemetery under the direction of
Stickley Funeral Home.
Mrs. Rupe died Sunday morn-
ing, March 6, at her home after
a long illness.
She was born Ruth Elizabeth
Stedman at Windsor, Colorado,
on February 11, 1908, the daugh-
ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. F. G.
Stedman of Canadian.
Surviving her are her hus-
band, H. I. Rupe of Canadian;
two daughters, Mrs. Dick Fair-
child of Horace, Kansas; and
Miss Marian Rupe of Canadian;
and two brothers, Nick Stedman

Still to be heard from were most
of the solicitors in the county's

Believing that many people
who might want to contribute to
the Red Cross Drive may have
been missed, however, the chair-
man asked that "anyone who

Deaton Quits and
Helton Switches
Saturday's filing deadline for the April 5 city election brought
a fast-breaking re-alignment of candidates which left only two
men contesting in the Mayor's race and resulted in a field of five
seeking the two City Commission places.
Judge W. L. Helton, first to file for Maypr, withdrew from the
race last week-end vo file as a candidate for City Commissioner;
Bill Flewelling. local hardware dealer, tossed his hat into the ring
just ahead of the deadline as a candidate for the City Commission;
and Roy Deaton, who had announced earlier for Mayor, confirmed
rumors of his withdrawal from the race in a letter presented to
the City Commission Tuesday.
In its final form, the ballot
will list M. A. (Nick) Morgan,
Canadian automobile dealer who
announced last week, and Mayor
Malouf Abraham, who is seek-
ing re-election to his second
term, as the only candidates for
the office of Mayor.

Flewelling.
Deaton sent a formal re-
quest, in writing, to the City
Commission Tuesday request-
ing that his name be with-
drawn from the list of candi-
dates for Mayor. No reason
was given for the withdrawal.
Judge Helton dropped out of
the Mayoralty campaign Friday
in order to file as a candidate
for the City Commission.
"Owing to the fact that there
can't be a run-off in the city
election," Judge Helton said,
"and owing to the fact that the

Brief Platform

"I am for anything for the

gan, candidate for Mayor, said
this week in outlining his plat-
form for the April 5 city election.
Morgan said that, if elected,
he would advocate lower tax
rates and lower utility rates, if
possible. "I don't want to prom-
ise a lot of things I might not
be able to deliver," he said.
"But I am for an economical
administration of city affairs
within reasonable limits," he
added.

the Canadian Lions Club, said

Mayor Malouf Abraham said
today that candidates will meet
at 10 o'clock Saturday morning
to draw for the order of listing
or. the official ballot.
Absentee voting In the city
election will begin on March 16,
and continue until three days
before the election on April 5.
Absentee ballots may be cast
at the City offices with City Sec-
retary Potts Micou.
The law makes no provision
for a run-off in city elections
in towns of this size. In the 5-
man race for two City Commis-
sion seats, the two candidates
getting the highest number of
votes will be declared elected
. . . regardless of whether or not
either receives a clear majority.
Decision Awaits
Federal Okay
One hundred and twenty-two first and second grade youngsters
in Hemphill County may get free injections of the new Salk Polio
vaccine next month if their parents consent . . . and if the vaccine
is licensed. Dr. Rush Snyder, county health officer, announced this
week.
Detailed plans are now being worked out here for the adminis-
tration of the polio vaccine if final surveys now being conducted
are approved by the Federal government.
All first and second grade pu-
pils in public, private and par
ochial schools in the state are
included in the planned pro-
gram, Dr. Snyder explained.
The vaccine will also be avail-
able to others through physi-
cians at the same time.
But parents were warned by
Dr. Snyder not to jump to the
conclusion that the current
planning indicated the vaccine
already had been proved ef-
fective.
"The vaccine which will be
furnished by the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis is
the same vaccine that was given
to 440,000 children last spring."
he said. "We do not know yet
whether it really prevents para-
lytic polio. Until April, when we
will learn the results of the
evaluation study now being con-
ducted at the University of Mich-
igan, we cannot know if the vac-
cine is effective.
"But we cannot wait until then
for planning for the protection
of as many of our children as
possible. Vacci/.,-ting large num-
bers of children is a big and im-
portant job, entailing many pro-
cedural tasks that can't be per-
formed over night..,
"If the license is granted in
April, we must be ready to start
vaccinating at once, so that, if
possible, we can finish before
our schools close and the polio
season starts. We want to give
the vaccine early so that many
children can be protected before
polio appears in their communi-
ties.
"This program would not be
another test but the first use of
a newly-established preventive
measure."

authorities and physicians who
have pledged their full coopera-
tion.
The polio vaccine will be furn-
ished from a supply being pur-
chased by the National Founda-
tion with March of Dimes funds.
It will be made available by the
National Foundation without
charge for the product to State
Health Officers for use in the
above groups, if licensed by the
Federal Government. Supplies
also will be distributed through
usual channels at the same time.
The National Foundation has
financed the development and
production of the Salk vaccine. |
