Shortly after her loss, she discovered the money was missing and rushed back to look for it, but it was gone. Sale of City Land Snagged Opposition was formally voiced at a school board meeting here last night when notice from State Public Land Commissioner John Riedel of Cheyenne was received that Casper's city council approved selling a parcel of public land adjoining the future site of Casper Junior College.

Mr. Riedel's letter, dater Aug. 16, stated in part: "Please be advised that an application has been received to purchase by the Superior Oil Co. of Casper and a resolution executed by Mayor Thoma Nicholas outhorizing the Mayor and council to consent to the sale land which is just north of the Casper Junior College site near hill. Opposing the sale of the state leased land, besides the school board, is the Junior College and the Commuity Extension Corp.

The City Golf Club is expected to take a formal stand against the proposal also, a member of the board of directors of the club said. E. E. Saricks, who informed the school board of the land commissioner's notice, said today that the city, even if it did have a legal right to relinquish control of the leased land, had no moral right to do so. School Additions Okayed by Board Letters of acceptance for construe tion work on four Casper schools were formally voted in at last night's school board meeting here.

The letters, presented by school architect Karl Krusmark, were for acceptance of Willard, Garfield, Grant and Mills schools which have had additions under construction for over the last year. Exceptions on all the schools were held out but re maining details to be completed are all of a monor nature, Mr. Krusmark told the board. Actually, the board said, Willard school has already been accepted for all contracts, and plumbing and electrical contracts at Mills. The letters bring the situation up to date, they said, with the terms for acceptance and the remaining work to be done explained.

It was explained that under contract guarantees, the heating systems in all the new buildings will be adjusted and balanced as soon as the heating season begins.

Li 1 BARBARA MARTYR "It's a lot more fun than doing- nothing. if Council Will Oppose inve-sn The Casper city council played to a standing room only crowd last night during the four and a half hour session during which much business was transacted.

It was the second consecutive meeting in which the Mayor and council worked in harmony to get problems resolved. Discussions of three major issues took up the large part of the time consumed. Due to the large number of Pine-view Meadows residents in attendance, Mayor Tom Nicholas placed the protests of this group regarding the construction of a drive-in theatre first on the agenda. After considerable discussion the council passed a resolution opposing the construction of the drive-in theater in its present location and asking the Board of Public Utilities to refrain from furnishing water and sewer service to the theater. Speaking on behalf of the protestors James Payne, of the Pineview Development Co.

and Attorney Marvin Bishop. RESIDENTS APPREHENSIVE Mr. Bishop pointed out that the people were apprehensive about the traffic and other problems which would be detrimental to their homes if the theater was allowed to be constructed. Councilman J. Ray Moore asked if the city had any jurisdiction in the matter.

Mr- Bishop stated that the people wished to have an expression of the council's opinion on the matter. Councilman Dan Rogers declared that "the land in question is now in the confines of the city, maybe not legally but geographically, and that the city could go on record as a unit opposing the construction of the theater. Councilman Moore said he "agrees witn tne people out there but feels tnat the council does not have the right to make such a motion Councilman Rex Iserman declared "we have a moral right and obli gation to the people who have purchased homes there to live a happier life." Councilman Moore then offered the motion which was unanimously adopted. LICENSE CHANGE OKAYED The council then adopted a motion by which the liquor license of the Grand Central Bar made out to Gibson Benham be permitted to be changed bringing Pete Vincent in as partner. This action paved the way for a request of the partners to have the license transferred from the Grand Central Bar at 200 South Center to the building known as the Chicken Shack at 739 North Center, recently purchased by Mr.

Benham. This request brought considerable opposition from a large number of North residents in the audience. A petition bearing 155 names was offered in protest in addition to the verbal protests. An agreement was read in which Mr. Benham and Mr.

Vincent agreed there would be no bar or tavern established there nothing but a package liquor store. Speaking against the transfer were Roy Perry, Ralph Gering, Joe Maltby, W. O. Hutchinson, Burr Stevens for the North Casper Improvement Association, D. F.

Edel-man, M. Bundy and Mrs. Gering. Speaking for the transfer were Mrs. Stewart of the North Center Street Hotel and Art Terry.

The motion to grant the transfer was adopted on a 4 to 2 vote, Coun-cilwoman Bess Opal Allen and Councilman Dan Rogers opposed. The transfer becomes effective on Oct. 1. AIR CENTER REJECTED The third major issue to be discussed was the request of the Western Air Defense for use of a portion of the old city hall block for a site for a new Filter Center. Allen Stewart, county director of the Civil Defense, gave a short talk on the organization of the Center and the need for a new location.

Councilman Walter Kingham stated that he had talked to a great many of his constituents during the past few days and they were all opposed to the erection of such a building on the proposed site. "They trust me to do the right thing and I will vote against it." he said. Mr. Stewart explained that Mayor Nicholas in company with Western Air Defense and Air Force officials had toured the city Monday morning looking- for available sites but that the old city hall block offered the most advantages, especially in the transportation field. It was brought out that although there 'were more than 500 persons i I 1 5 4 i 1 I 1 fi, 5-1 TERRY TEGARDEN "It's lots of hard work, but It's a lot of fun, too.

Herschel D. Newsom, master of tfci. National Grange. Most of tha day was set aside for polishing up his New York City speeches which his lieutenants hepe will touch off a Stevenson boom in the east. Later this fall, Stevenson will return to New York for a campaign tour through the state.

The western tour began to shape up as a jam-packed ten days of plane-hopping into the northwest. Unofficial reports indicated the tour would open Sept. 5 with a television speech in Denver, and conferences with Democratic political leaders from 11 western i states. MAY SPEAK HERE Other speeches were said to be tentatively scheduled for: Des Moines, Casper, Billings, Seattle, Wash; Spokane, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles; Phoenix. and Albuquerque, N.

M. This schedule could be changed again to arrange for Stevenson to appear at the Kasson. National plowing contest Sept. 6 the same day Eisenhower is due to speak there. Stevenson had accepted one invitation to speak there and then the plans were changed when con- test officials voted against both i-nnrtirintps nnnparinff (in th same I day.

But last night the invitation was extended for a second time, after contest officials received protest against their action closing the date to Stevenson. WILL DISCUSS T-II Stevenson's Labor Day speech in Detroit is expected to dwell at length on his views regarding the Taft-Hartley law and labor-management relations in general. Walter Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers (CIO) told reporters he thought Steven son wouia srana on me platform which calls for repeal of the Taft-Hartley law. And he said he was willing to "take my chances" on the labor legislation Stevenson would approve if elected President. Reuther said Stevensdh had courage, integrity, and a "sense of social "responsibility" which would lead him to the right decisions.

Square Dance Is Scheduled Tonight Another of the weekly series of public square dances will be held at 8 o'clock tonight on the plaza in front of the City-County Building. Prizes of square dance records will be given to the tourist who has come the longest distance to Casper and to the tourist who traveled the second longest' distance. Records were given last week to a Pittsburgh man, whose name was not learned, and to Miss Judy Kmik-meir of Madison, Wis. Mr; and Mrs. Vincent Moler of Canton, Ohio, had third place honors.

Bill Thompson, who is doing the calling for the dances, says the plaza is as good as any floor for square dancing. It is hoped that a large number of Casper persons will turn out to take part in the dance, as this is the only way to maintain the interest of the tourists in the event. The dances are sponsored by the tourist committee of the Chamber of Commerce (Continued from Vzee One) Wardman Park hotel and the four guards went inside to eat. They locked up the car. L'SED DUPLICATE KEY Then Farmer drove up in his bakery truck, inserted his key, turned the lock, grabbed a sack containing $65,000 in small currency, pushed it into the bakery truck and drove off.

He ignored $200,000 bills of large denominations. Police were without any real clues. Then Murray recalled the 1949 incident of Farmer's uniform. Farmer was taken into custody at his house at 7 p. m.

JOHN SLOAN "I'm flad to be with the boys again." Iron Lung Is Flown to Casper Today An iron lung was flown from Denver to Casper today for use of a patient at Natrona" Memorial Hospital. The i a tor was brought here by Capt. Paul L. Dis terdick. pilot, and Capt.

Robert McDonald, co-pilot, in an Air Force plane. The lung will be used in the treatment of Mrs. Marian Walsh, 27, of Casper, who was admitted as a polio patient Aug. 23. A simliar iron lung for the same patient was brought up earlier to day from Douglas and was escort ed by the Wyoming State Highway Patrol, but because this was borrowed for only a short time and has to be returned, a request was made to Bill Stone of Cheyenne, state representative for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.

In order to obtain the equipment as speedily as possible from the Foundation's pool of such equipment in Denver. Mr. Stone contacted Brig. Gen. R.

L. Esmay adjutant general of the Wyoming National Guard, who offered the use of a Wyoming Air National Guard plane. This plane was not ready for the flight, however, and the general contacted the Air Force. The lung was picked up at Low-ry Field in Denver and brought to the Natrona County Airport, where the Natrona Transfer Co. had a truck waiting to transport it to the hospital free of charge.

The Natrona County chapter of the Foundation made arrangements for receipt of the iron lung here. Autopsy Ordered In Woman's Death County Coroner Carl Horstman ordered an autopsy into the death of Lucille Perrin, 44, of 307 North Casper, who died this morning in Memorial Hospital after having been in the county jail since Saturday.

Among the resolutions passed in the final day of the convention were expressions of thanks to the local insurance group for their program and entertainment, thanks to the VFW and to the Country Club. The resoltuion thanking F.

W. LaFrentz for attending the meeting read: "Where as: F. W. LaFrentz, Dresident of the board of directors of the American Surety Company, former resident of Wyoming, and now resident oi New York city, did Whitaker Is Critical of 'Slots' Stand Ray B. Whitaker, state Demo cratic chairman, had some com ments today anent Gov; Barrett's "war" on slot machines.

Barjett said it was a local problem. "I see where the governor is again 'deploring the existence of slot machines in Wyoming," Whitaker told newsmen today. "A week or so ago he promised to look into reports of gambling in Fremont County. A year ago he was promising the same thing." Warming to his subject with evident relish, the chief of Wyoming Democrats went on: "It is obvious that he hasn't looked very hard. He says he hasn't contacted the law enforcement officers in the counties, although he took an oath to enforce the laws of this state.

"Whether he does or doesn't will be taken care of by the voters in November. But if he really wanted to enforce the law, he could obtain the names and addresses of offenders from the U. S. collector of internal revenue including the five in his home county of Niobrara. "If he doesn't, which the year of indecision would indicate, then he ought to keep quiet about it.

Apparently he is trying to straddle the issue in an election year, but I don't think the voters of the state will be fooled." School Board Case Is Slated Sept. 22 Trial of a lawsuit against the Natrona County school board by James C. Crump of Casper and others charging that contracts for the New Junior High School was unlawfully let, was set for Sept. 22 in District Court here. A demurer against the action, filed by School Board Attorney.

Earnest Wilkerson. was denied by District Judge Spencer J. Lewis yesterday. The lawsuit charges that the board unlawfully allowed Detweil-er Inc. to change a bid figure after the bids had been opened.

The school board contended that the change was allowable because it involved a mistake in adding up the component figures in the overall bid. Board members said, there was no change made in the itemized parts of the bid. They said Det-weilers had made a mistake in adding up the figures and they were merely allowed to substitute the correct total figure. The Inns of Court are schools for legal training.

DALLAS ON SERVICE 1234 Eost St. Fhona Miss Jacqueline Scholtz, who lost S300 she had saved for college, hasnt had the money returned but apparently will be going to college this fall if ner rriends have anything to say. Walter Swartz told the Tribune-Herald Tuesday that he was working on the possibilities of a scholarship for Miss Scholtz. However, he admitted that the chances were slim as no definite scholarship was in mind.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Swartz was still receiving money from friends. But the total of over S30 is far from the S300 Miss Scholtz had saved for her college education at the University of Wyoming. Miss Scholtz lost her savings just now taking the training course the Center would need at least 2,100 in order to be fully manned in case of an alert. The city hall site would be a much more convenient place for volunteers to attend classes, he stated.

Mrs. Wade Cramer, 804 South David, added her protest because she said, "it would attract enemy bombers and although we have a bomb shelter constructed in the back yard we don't want to be bombed out because of the Ceriter." Others who spoke in opposition were Art Chandler, William Barton and Don Hathaway. Major Clark of Hamilton Field and Col. Schuster of the Western Air Defense pointed out the necessity for having the Center located in Casper. In order to bring the matter to a vote Councilman Charles Morrison offered a motion to accede to the request providing the Carey estate approved.

The motion was defeated by a to 1 vote. Morrison, casting the vote of approval. It was then decided that the council would meet with the Civil Defense officials Tuesday morning and seek a new location.
