Hour-Long TV Tribute For Dying Oklahoma Boy Bobby Shaw
A 13 year old cancer patient in Chelsea Oklahoma with three weeks to live will be honored in an 11 30 p m television program produced by KOTV Tulsa and the Tulsa World. Gov Johnston Murray will name him honorary commodore in Oklahoma's mythic navy. Bobby expresses humility while relatives and station staff shield him from news of his prognosis. The show will stage a caring sendoff with the TV set donated by friends and the program aired with no reference to the boy's grim outlook. Mrs Shaw will monitor the program by telephone as the first five minutes explain the situation and then the set will be turned on for a heartfelt tribute.

The Minnesota Attorney General ruled that state cooperative laws do not require distributing net income by patronage to any specific commodity. Commissioner Clark noted higher side-line labor costs cut margins, and a patron using only side-line goods may miss full earnings. No law requires departmentalized handling or exact allocation of net margins to side-line departments.
