Thomas said it is likely that
an announcement will be made
at the luncheon as to the prob-
able date for the opening of
the Oklahoma City-Lawton seg-
ment of the Bailey Turnpike.
At the Thursday morning
board meeting, Thomas said
routine matters will be dis-
1 cussed, according to an agenda
sent to the members five days
in advance.
However, the fires which oc-
curred Friday along the other
turnpikes in the state, may
come up for discussion.
There will be a report on pro-

He is president of the National
Bank of Tulsa, starting in his
banking career in 1927 as a
bank messenger. He was named
president of the bank in Janu-
ary. 1960.
The turnpike chairman is a
solid booster for good roads for
a'l of Oklahoma. His credo has
always been—"I'm for good
roads, without tolls if possible.
