Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "A two-block "Boomtown" is being laid out at the state fairgrounds in a turn-back-the-clock project that will take 27 years off Oklahoma "history and give visitors to the state's Semi-Centennial Exposition a life-sized look at a real old-time oiltown. Boomtown U.S.A., one of the liveliest attractions of the upcoming expositions, will reset the scene og a chill March morning in 1930 when a boisterous chapter in oilfield history was written by the No. 1 Mary Sudik, the fabulous gusher that ran wild for nine days. Gene Hopping, the Exposition's "Mayor of Boomtown," said the wooden village is already complete in scale model. The town itself will spring up almost overnight - just as its wooden predecessors did in the lusty 1930s - and will open simulaneously with the Exposition, June 14-July 7......Down the street, the Oklahoma Press association will print the town's newspaper, "The Boomtown Derrick," which will be available a souvenir editions to the 1.5 million people expected to visit the Exposition during its three week run.

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.5278]
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Old and new side-by-side. Three and a half years ago the people of Oklahoma County agreed to share the cost of three new bridges across the Canadian River. About the first of May the fruits of their effort will become a reality. The State Highway Commission has indicated the first of Twin bridges that span the Canadian and May Avenue will be open to traffic in about two months. The second part of the span will open a couple of months later. The existing bridge, now closed to traffic, will be dismantled. When completed, the two-lane May Avenue bridge will carry one-way traffic across the river. The bridge - along with two others - were approved by county voters in a $5,985,000 bond issue in the fall of 1957. The other bridges, now in use, span the river at S Pennsylvania and S Agnew. County residents are contributing 25 percent of the cost of the May Avenue bridge, the state 25 percent and the federal government 50 percent."

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "I do not give a hoot who sits, stands, sleeps, eats, or sings on thye steps of the capitol, or even who takes up residence inside, if they feel it is more comfortable than their own homes and if they can get by with it. However, I do darn-well object to the flying of a non-American flag from the flagpole that is reserved speciffically for the beautiful Stars and Stripes. I don't know what the so-called "Black Liberation Flag" is and I don't really care, but it is not the flag of this country and has no business flying at our capitol. Since demonstrators were permitted to replace the American flag with a non-American flag, I would like to know if I will end up down at the police headquarters if I bring a flag of Confederacy down and fly it from the same pole - or am I to be discriminated against because of my color?"
