Six eastern Oklahoma counties will share a direct benefit from the huge, new reservoir. it will extend into each of them. But the new lake, which will have a surface area 7,000 acres greater than Lake Texoma, presently the state's largest, will be a big recreational attraction for the entire state. Heavy western Oklahoma traffic is expected to be able to zoom to the Eufaula areaon high-speed, four lane I.H. 40 eventually. The first part of the 70-mile per hour freeway already is started. The reservoir will be principally in McIntosh, Haskell, Pittsburg and Okmilgee counties, but smaller areas will touch Muskogee and Latimer counties. Surface of its power pool will cover 102,5000 acres, compared with only 95,400 acres for Lake Texoma......Initial construction on this project to dam the waters of the Canadian between two bluff approcimately …

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "I lost everything I had and I’ll never get it back," sighed Mrs. Viola Mae Matthews as she watched her apartment home go up in huge black clouds of smoke. "I worked a lifetime for what I had, now I have nothing except what I'm wearing," she said, brushing back tears forced from her misty eyes by ugly, biting smoke from her blazing home. As one who had just escaped with her life from an apartment house blaze at 24 NE 2 wednesday afternoon. Mrs Matthew's expressed the feelings of each of 15 families who lived in the fire-gutted structure. All were thankful that everyone go out without a scratch, but each was mourning the loss of his belongings. Not a single soul in the two-story brick building saved so much as a scrap of paper from the blazing dwelling. As Mrs. Calvin Fowler said, "nobody anything out...we just ran for our lives." Smoke and flames billow from an burning Oklahoma City apartment house as firemen fight to bring it under control."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Men of 45th Infantry Division headquarters Tuesday morning knew what the song writer meant by "the dawn's early light" because they fell out at the 23rd street armory for reveille at 6:15 a.m. For some of them the morning came very early. But cooks were up earlier and after this formation chow lines formed for bacon, scrambles eggs and coffee, all hot. The early call is here for three men, among the first 10 units of the 45th inducted into federal service. By the time they see a Louisiana dawn they may be more ready for the sunrise."

Before moving to Lake View in July he'd been with the Beacon Club and the Oklahoma Club…….The dream belonged origanlly to the late Frank Wilton Jones, attorney, president of a man's club that wanted its own building.

Among them were Jones, Henry Benedict, Harry Schwartz and Keith Harris, who is now club president,...Construction on Lake View's 25-acre site started in 1955 and the facilities opened for use in September the next year.......""This is one of the finest clubs around," says the Lake View Manager.

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Availabilty to God is the meaning of prayer, Rev. Eugene A. Walsh told clergy and lay people Wednesday attending the 22nd Annual North American Liturgical Week in Oklahoma City. Fathe Walsh of St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, Md., spoke on "Prayer" at the Wednesday morning general session in Municipal Auditorium. Afternoon session included a demonstration of the mass and explanation of its meaning by Rt. Rev. Msgr. Martin H. Hellriegel, pastor of the Church of the Holy Cross, St. Louis...Prayer, he said is a reponse to God's love, not the winning of God's love. "We cannot win what we already have. To the extent that we attend to God's Love and actually believe it is true that he loves us always, to that extent we are understanding the true nature of prayer."...Most Rev. Charles A. Busell, bishop of Pueblo and former pastor of Christ the King Church here, celebrated the noon mass Wednesday. Thursday sessions will include Very Rev. Msgr. William Baum, Kansas City, Mo., speaking on "Sin, Repentence and Forgivness" and Rev. Benedict Ehmann, St. Mary of the Lake Church, Watkins Glen, N.Y., on "Christain Deat."...The litugical week …

But they must have underestimated the scope of their club's appeal, for nearly a fourth of Hillcrest's stock members have north side addresses. This is the payoff from what club president Melvin W. Jones, insurance man describes as "a good well-balanced program around which a family can plan all its recreation."This family appeal has been Hillcrest cornerstone right from the start, says Jones, a former Oklahoma State University professor....Manager Jerry Corsi, one-time University of Colorado gridder, admits it taxes his ingenuity to keep the schedule booked with things new and different...Hillcrest's location at 6501 Country Club Drive also helps make it a popular spot for Capitol Hill businessmen's luncheon appointments.

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Twin Hills was strictly stag when it got its start as a private golf club back in the 1920s. But as founder Dorset Carter sr. once explained, "We finally had to give in to the women." It's a good thing, too, today's Twin Hills members might say, for as manager John Atwood points out, the country club's families count some 1,200 children among them. "This is strictly a family club," Atwood can now declare with ample reason......"It's an improvement program, to bring the club more up-to-date, rather than an expansion," explains the president, R. L. McCormick, Oklahoma Paper Co. executive......Twin Hills also has about 140 social members. there are 50 doctors on the club roster, plus a big representation of the city's lawyers, as well as businessmen. Members pay dues of $27.45 a month.

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Downtown merchants generally are outwardly calm, but in many cases are individually resentful at the "lack of discrimination" shown by Negroes who Monday started a boycott of downtown stores. None would talk for the publiccation. And no merchant, either publicly or privetly, would hazard a guess on what the eventual effect of the boycott may be on business. Hurt Cause? But, privetly, one businessman declared Negro leaders "may be hurting their own cause by their seeming inability to face up the to the facts."...Major fear in some business quarters is that all downtown business is that all downtown business may suffer from customers both white and Negro might, staying away because of the possibility of trouble.
