Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Here's the newest experiment in the never ending search for durable street markings. This distinctive pattern of cross walks. Stop and lane lines was put down Tuesday at Grand and Robinson. It is asphalt floor tile, found in many homes and stores. The nine by nine inch squares were cut in half and cemented to the road. Two test patches put down on N Robinson at NW 3 two years ago have shown little wear. If the markers hold up the traffic department will compare cost of converting its paint program to the more durable markings."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "The usual traffic snarls were magnified Saturday as the city bus strike sent city residents down in private cars. On some streets a pedistrian could cover a block much faster than impatient motorists. This view taken at mid-morning, shows traffic on N Walker north of Main street. At noon the situation was the hardest to handle as office workers all hit the streets and tried to get home at the same time."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Thirteen thousand teachers here for convention, plus a bus strike, combine to help make this traffic scene Friday. The picture was made on Main street, at Robinson, looking west. Many of the cars belonged to teachers from Vinita and Mangum, from Fairview and Aniters. There were times during peak traffic periods when transportation went into slow motion. Walking was faster than driving for distances of only a few blocks. Even the "Free Ride" drivers scowled a bit when asked to brave cross-town traffic. But the general feeling was : convention comes just once a year and the bus strike - well, it's "just one of those things."

Caption: "(O-10-6-51 or O-12-30-51) Oklahoma City buses stood idle in the parking yards for 14 days after a breakdown in negotiations between the operating company and employes. Jitney were placed in service during the emergency to help ease the traffic tieup, but for the most part the public suffered. Drivers won a 5-cent raise in the agreement which finally ended the deadlock. (O-10-6-51 or O-12-30-51 article) City residents will scramble for rides Saturday as the twice-delayed bus strike goes into effect. Company and union officials broke off negotiations Friday after drivers and mechanics turned down a contract recommended by the union negotiation committee.

It will be the fifth mass transportation stoppage in the city's history, and the second time in the last 18 months......The six union members of the contract committee and international represemtative Art Steele recommended acceptance of the last company offer.

It is the punching machine that stamps in the numbers and the year. Man in the foreground will probably be working for the tag shop for the next seven years. He's got 10 years to do. If he doesn't pull his hand out before pushing the foot pedal the machine will crush it. Each time he changes one or more digits on the number for another new tag."
