Seminole and area residents are reminded of the all-night singing scheduled here Saturday night in Oiler Park, the event sponsored by Seminole Jaycees headed by Bob Walker.

The “Singing Under the Stars” program will begin at 8 p.m. and continue until 5 a.m. Sunday. There will be no admission fee and everyone is invited.

Several well-known and well-publicized singing groups will be on hand to sing gospel songs in the all-night “Battle of Songs.”

City firemen Thursday night made a run to the Sun Oil Company’s Henry No. 6 lease, two miles east of the city, to douse a fire in an electrical transformer. The oil in the transformer had caught fire and also had set a pole on fire. Only damage was to the equipment and the pole, firemen said.

Tomorrow night (Saturday) at 8 o’clock at Chieftain Stadium the 1971 edition of the Seminole Chieftains will put on their first public performance of the new season when they scrimmage the Chandler Lions.

Chandler should be a strong opponent. The Lions have five starters back from a team that carved out a fancy 7-2-1 record last season. There are 37 candidates out for the Lion team this year.

The Lions have missed out on the state championship the last three years only because they have been in the same district with the Stroud Tigers, who defeat everybody each year.
