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?"

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Despite Lake Hefner - fisherman's paradise that it is - lake Overholser still is "the old reliable" for Oklahoma City's water supply in this summer of 1946. And recent local rains have filled it to its capacity of 17,000 acre feet and isn't full, by any means. But Hefner won't be able to put water into the city's mains until August or September, when its filter plant is completed. M. B. Cunningham, city water superintendent, says there hasn't been enough of a river flow since last October to fill additional storage space at Lake Hefner, but local rains of the last week filled Overholser. And that means that Oklahoma City will have water aplenty until Hefner's filter plant is completed, even if it doesn't rain another drop until then."
