Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Patterns in snow piled deep on the steps of the First Christain church, 1104 N Robinson, could be interpreted as denoting the quiet and dignity symbolic of churches. Certainly it means those ice-covered steps are slick and perilous for the church-goers who doesn't climb with caution."

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "City firemen floundered in four-foot snowdrifts before dawn Thursday in a futile attempt to stem flames that gutted the city's big all-steel hangar at Tulakes airport and destroyed 31 planes. Although not spectacular, because flames couldn't break through the metal walls, the fire caused damage estimated at $125,000. It was an hour before firemen could thaw out fire hydrants frozen solid by near-zero temperatures."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Just southwest of Blanchard snow drifts caused one of the state's worst road-blocks. More than 60 cars were backed up because of the cars stalled here. Twelve cars stalled there before 6 p.m., 37 had stalled there by Thursday morning. Thurday afternoon bulldozers were attempting to cut new paths through the drift to open the way for traffic. The near by Giles ranch gave shelter to 18 of the motorists trapped bny the snow Wednesday night. Seven persons slept in one bed."

Caption says, "5-AL-1080. Crops. The difference is an irrigation ditch. Combine maize on G. L. Wallace farm southeast of Altus. The farm ditch runs on a contour and land to the left of the ditch is too high to irrigate."
