Dean of Students at Seminole Junior College Donald Gill said this morning that the college was in desperate need of apartments or rooms to house several out-of-town students who are attending Seminole Junior College for the second semester.

“We need apartments or rooms for married couples, foreign students, and single students,” Gill said. “It is important that we find rooms for these students and any help that the community can give will be appreciated,” the dean added.

Two city business firms were burglarized Tuesday night, police reported Wednesday afternoon. The two firms were identified as Howell’s Animal Hospital at 515 State and Young’s Service Station, located at the western edge of the city on Highway 9 just west of the Highway 3 intersection.

At the Howell Animal Hospital police said entry was gained by breaking open a west storm door. Nothing was missed from the building although it was ransacked by the culprits.

Entry was gained to the Young’s station by breaking out a west window. After getting inside the burglars broke open a cigarette vending machine, taking 32 packs of assorted cigarettes, and the coin box of the machine.

J. D. Branscum, Konawa area rancher, is the new president of the Seminole County Cattlemen’s Association following the election of officers Monday night at the annual banquet meeting of the group held in the Civic Center at Wewoka. He succeeds Ben Ragland, also a Konawa resident, who has served the past year.
