Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Radar net for speeders was set up to 10 miles northeast of Chickasha on U.S. 62 Monday by highway patrolmen.

But that is still fast to be caught as any more than a blur by the camera set at one twenty-fifth of a second. Charles Hughes, patrol chief radios northeast of Chickasha on U.

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.5357]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "An industry that produces 38 percent of the total state revenue is signified in this view of producing well in front of the state capitol - a well and a capitol of distinction. It is the Phillips Petroleum No. 1 Capitol, drilled in a petunia bed at end of Lincoln Parkway, and has its hole bottomed under the executive office. The lease site is hardly enough for the well and its equipment, and was directionally drilled to tap the oil reservior under the capitol. The scene is a favorite with both professional and amateur photographers and has been widely used in magazines and newspapers."

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "A motorist's dream came true in Oklahoma Saturday when the 88-mile Turner turnpike, linking Tulsa and Oklahoma City, was officially opened. Scattered thunderstorms threatened ribbon-cutting ceremonies at six cities along the way, but it didn't discourage eager drivers who lined their cars up by the thousands for a free ride before toll charges began at 3 p.m....Perhaps the happiest man at the dedication was former Gov. Roy J. Turner, who pushed the firsttoll road bill through the legislature six years ago. "I hope this is the first thing many of us thought, it would be - I think it will be," he said at a program held at the pike's western terminus, northeast of Oklahoma City...The sun shoneimtermittenly, and there was no rain at the west-end festivities."

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Your television reception go a little bad? Don't worry if you're a WKY-TV fan, because it's only temporary. The station says reception will be better than ever in the next few days. Reception, particularly in the so called "fringe" area of the station's coverage, may be a little poor for a few days because engineers are erecting a "bigger and better" antenna. And to get the job done, they have to use a small, temporary one while the old antenna comes down and the new one goes up........The new antenna, which has been assemled on the ground and will be pulled to the top in one piece, is to increase the strength of the station's new 25,000-watt transmitter which took the place of 16,800-watter. the antenna will multiply the transmitter's strength increasing it to 100,000 watts. raising the new antenna - it weighs five tons - is no small feat. The steeplejacks will use a 45-foot gin pole, similar to ones seen in oil fields, on top of the tower to raise the antenna,."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Striking Jorday-Denco bus drivers withdrew picket lines from around Oklahoma City's Union bus station at 7 p.m. Thursday, but a union spokesman said they will return "at sunup" Friday. At the same time, he said, striking drivers will continue to picket bus terminals in Durant, Higo, Idabel and Ada as the 93-day-old labor dispute threatened to disrupt operations of five other major bus companies in the state. Albert Long, president of local 1480 (AFL) in Ardmore, said "We don't plan to withdraw our pickets until we have been assured Jordan-Denco buses will not use these terminals. I want to emphasize we are not striking against anybody but Jordan-Denco." A partial stalemate in bus transportation was created when the Jordan bus arrived at Union station Thursday afternoon. Striking Jordan drivers picketed and union drivers for the other companies refused to cross the picket line."

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Oklahoma's two turnpikes, the Turner and Will Rogers, were rolling along Friday with weekly revenues riding at the $6,000 mark. The Turner turnpike opened at a higher weekly revenue level than did the Will Rogers, but this was attributed to motorists who used it because they had never driven on a turnpike before. The Will Rogers turnpike is bow in its sixth week while the Turner is into its fourth year. The charter, prepared by the Oklahoma turnpike authority, shows the average daily revenue by weeks from the opening days."
