Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "A gasoline transport truck being filled at General Facilities, Inc., 4700 NE 10, exploded into flames late Monday and momitarily threatened several oil tanks in that vicinity. Damage was estimated at $18,000 on the truck and $1,500 on the terminal. Only major loss however was the big truck owned by Groendyke Transport Inc. By the time Oklahoma City and Del City firemen brought the blaze under control, the truck was destroyed. The driver, Harry Hughes, 33, of 8513 NE 28, was not injured. For nearly half an hour firefighters battled leaping flames to prevent them from setting off surrounding stills...............Hughes told firemen he had put two feeder lines into the truck's gasoline compartments, and then walked to the opposite side of the loading dock. "There must have been about 2,000 gallons of gas in the truck when she blew," he said. "I heard a sort of a muffled noise...it wasn't a loud explosion, and ran around the dock and turned of the gas lines."` (photo tag: Gasoline fire, touched off when a transport truck exploded while refueling, is fought Monday night by these firemen.

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "One of Bethany's toughest prolems is about to be softened. The hard water that has plagued this 12,000 member community should turn noticeably soft by June. A $375,000 water-softening plat is under construction at NW 50 near the canal which links Lake Hefner and Overholser. From the big tanks, piles of steel rods and mounds of dirt used in the project, will come water rated at only five grains of hardness...Harry Macrory, city manager, says the plant is designed to handle the water supply for a minimum population of between 25,000 and 30,000-an estimate of the city's potential maximum growth. To finance the project, Bethany water users are paying increased water rate of 25 cents per 1,000 gallons. Water rates went up in September. The rate increase was approved by Bethany voters last February when the entire project was given a resounding "yes" vote at the polls - 1.141 to 146.

Listeners didn't talk much while the boys sang, but the truck moved on each time, preceeded by a police car with sirens open, the exclamations were many. "Weren't their voices sweet?" "Wasn't that lovely?" "Makes it seem more like Christmas." they were, it was and it did."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "A "surrey" (with the fringe on top) which once carried Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein made what was probably its last drive Wednesday. The 66-year-old vehicle, a little dusty from long storage but still gleaming with original paint and body polish, was turned over to the state historical society here by its owner, Paul A. Andres, 1610 Randel. Its last drive across Oklahoma City was made with an assist from a moving Van and crew. Bill Dale, curator at the society building, said the surrey will be placed in the main display room of the museum until expansion plans for the society are completed. It then will be housed along side a stage coach and other early day transportation vehicles......A model 1895 Phaeton surrey, it was originally purchased by G. A. Andres, grandfather of its most recent owner, who purchased it directly frim the factory in St. Louis. It was used continuously on Oklahoma City streets until 1913. Dale and Elmer Fraker inspected the vehicle Wednesday, reflecting that it was a delicate, yet sturdy vehicle "that's a real delight to have in the society." It's value is from $2,000 …

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "The YWCA, which began its history in Oklahoma City in 1907, may enter a new phase this year. The organization's 9-story building, at 320 Park Ave., may be sold. The board of directors has announced it will accept offers on the building, which for 30 years has housed working girls and provided space for a variety of activities for people of all ages. But since the announcement sentiment against the building's sale has been expressed, according to Mrs. A. J. Haswell, YWCA president. She and Miss Gertrude McMorran, executive director, point out that whether or not the building is sold will depend on the offers recieved and mainly upon a study now being made to determine how YW can best serve the community......The association started its operation in a few rooms in the upstairs of a building at 124 W Main where a plaque still hangs at the entrance commemorating the event. it continued there from 1907 until 1912 when it moved to 112 NW 2, now the Berg apartments.

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Pencil-written scribblings in a loose-leaf notebook are perhaps the greatest evidence in Oklahoma City of the power of prayer. The anonymous writers are those who sought - and found - answers to their personal problems in First Methodist Church's Ingham Chapel. The hundreds of unknown worshippers included a man about to commit suicide, another set to steal and many who were just lonely. The Ingham chapel is a small worship room just off the bustling NW 4 and Robinson corners. Here, in the heart of a busy city, many come at all hours to seek out a few moments of solitude with their God......One of the most dramatic notes was written by a man who came to the chapel as a last stop before committing suicide.
