Alibis and antics at Oklahoma conventions noted
A long, humorous column from Ada News critiques alibis for a mashed hat after a state press meeting at Poteau. It then shifts through rural Oklahoma topics: labor shifts toward skilled trades, Boy Scout penitentiary visits, highway funding woes, oil production limits, and regional strides in cotton and pecan farming. The piece also covers local obituaries, school events, community health, and upcoming church and school activities.
