Law says no barrier to hiring student workers
William J. Rogers of the U S Department of Labor in Dallas said Federal child labor laws do not prevent summer employment of teens and even encourage it with certificates allowing for reduced wages for full time students in retail and farm work. He outlined which jobs are prohibited for under 16 and the hours permitted, noting certificates are optional but prudent for compliance.

City residents get rural FHA loans change
The FHA loosens rules to allow qualified city dwellers to apply for home loans in rural towns with 10 000 or fewer residents. FHA administrator James V. Smith says loans help families moving to countryside who lack financing, with loans limited to those unable to obtain other funding. The program targets low to moderate income borrowers and could involve about 1.5 billion dollars, rising to 1.6 billion next fiscal year. The note ties to a joint USDA state effort and a blight information center reporting on corn blight risks for 1971.

Franks and the Spring Mill History of a Southern Oklahoma Town
Fifteen miles south of Ada the Franks area grew around a spring that fed a mill and later a store. Reverend Harden built a mill in 1869 and a cotton gin, serving mainly Indian customers. Frank Byrd bought the mill in 1897, expanding trade and giving the settlement its name. The town flourished with several stores and blacksmiths before road travel reduced its prominence, while oil discoveries nearby in 1933 sparked renewed interest.

Hardin and Fittstown Boom to Bust in Oklahoma Oil Era
The Harden home families moved into makeshift shelters as Franks became a budding site in July 1934 near Fittstown, Oklahoma. Harden City formed, thriving businesses vanished, and Franks faded after the cemetery kept its name. Carter Oil built a refinery near Harden City in 1935, later owned by Rock Island, with other plants changing hands and eventually dismantled. Notable locals and long-time workers are cited, marking a boom era followed by decline as oil prospects waned.
