[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.4392]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Shown above is the physical layout of the newest, most modern state fair plant in America, with buildings ready for this year's fair designated in yellow and planned future buildings in red. Auto gates and parking areas also are shown, all within a short distance of the fair's distance of the fair's center of activity. the lower panel shows modernistic fronts of exhibit buildings which are grouped in a small area than at the old grounds, yet are seperated by wide, double walks to permit easier passage. The entrance to the main gate, about center of the map off May avenue, although not an entrance for public parking, is an excellent place to drive in to pick up members of the family and depart without having to enter a paid gate or give fair visitors a long walk."

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Juvenile deliquency is on the wane in Oklahoma City. It hit an all-time peak in 1952 and its been declining ever since. Juvenile court records show that in 1952 a total of 623 Oklahoma county youngsters appeared in the court. Not all of those were real delinquets. many were being handled for the first time for minor offenses in an effort to prevent more serious outbreaks. City Called Disgrace In 1953, the year Oklahoma City was declared a national disgrace by a Washington investigation committee, the rate had declined. A total of 572 Oklahoma County youngsters had been seen by juvenile court officers......Wayne Harbolt, chief of detectives, explains that Oklahoma City got credit for a lot of 4 and 5-year old "vandals" on the delinquency record Washington senators saw. Those youngsters never should have been listed as criminal understudies. (photo tag: Delinquency hit a peak in 1952 with 623 youngsters brought before the juvenille court. Lowest point in the 10-year period was 1944, but court officials point out the child population has grown.)"
