[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.10166]
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Still burning and smoking is county landfill at SE 74 and Bryant operated by District 2 County Commissioner Frank Lynch, who was out of town today, first brought the fire to attention of the city-county health department explaining an 8-year old boy had set it. Dave Cleveland, director of environment health, said one of the problems was a heavy load of dumping over the weekend and not enough equipment to cover it properly. He said the landfill operator reported a long line of people waiting to dump Sunday. Some of them decided not to wait and instead got rid of their trash along the roadside."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Aerial Acrobatics put on Sunday at Tinker Air Force Base's silver anniversary open house drew crowds to the flight line and held them there for several hours. One tot wasn't about to miss the show, but neither did he plan to skip his bottle either. The thoughtful father solved the problem with a double-barrelled approch. The estimated 150,000 visitors craned their heads extra high to view the Air Force Thunderbirds, an aerial demonstration team, display their precision flying and acrobatic. People squinted to block out a bright, hot sun, occasionally plugged their ears as bomber jets whizzed past and sheered at the dramatic aerial stunts. Tinker put its welcome mat out for most portions of the base, and allowed visitors to roam through buildings, inspect planes and take pictures. The open house also featured clowns, rides and favors for the youngsters and a tour of the Numerical Control Center, where machines are controlled by computers and operate by punched tapes."
