warned dog owners Friday that April 30 is the deadline
for having pets licensed and vaccinated against rabies.
About 11,000 dog licenses already have been issued
for the coming year, but Burris said between 7,000 and
8,000 dogs still need to be licensed.
He warned, too, that the city's leash law does not ex-
cuse dogs from being vaccinated and licensed.
As of May 1, he said, dogs which are not properly li-
censed will be picked up. Burris said the licenses are $3
per dog, but cannot be obtained without vaccination. The
— vaccination, at $3, and the license can be obtained from
any veterinarian or the Humane Society shelter, he said.

Lindsay said about 15,000 businesses in Oklahoma

and “renewal applications are coming in real well.”
Lindsay said the April 30 deadline applies to all busi-

When future genera is
want to know what was the
real spirit of this age, they
won't go to the computers,
they'll go to its creative
writing.
So said the British novel-
ist Alec Waugh in a speech
Thursday night at the an-
nual meeting of the Okla-
homa City alumni associa-
tion of Phi Beta Kappa.
Waugh is a writer in resi-
dence at Central State Col-
lege, Edmond, this year.
When men of the future
have marveled over our
bridges and our great
buildings, our inventions
and our scientific achieve-
ments, Waugh said, “one
question will remain — as
it remained for the an-
cients: What happened to
the spirit of man when this
was going on? “When our
grandchildren want to
know this, they won’t go to
the computers, they’ll go
first to the poetry of our
time and the drama and
then to the novel.”
The novelist said it is
important in any age to
create a climate for writ-
ing so there would be
many writers.
"In the army you can’t
have a field marshal with-
out many privates first
class and lieutenants,” he
said. "The more writers
you have, the more they
set a pace from which the
greatest writers emerge.”
Waugh said he had many
apprehensions about com-
ing to Oklahoma for a year
in residence at Central
State.

“And they’ve sure been for the better,” says Mr. Walling, a toll engineer for Southwestern Bell in Tulsa.)
“For example, when I joined the company in 1923, we didn’t have dial telephones—it was mostly
crank-and-holler equipment. We’ve come a long way since then.”
Walling also recalls that part of the day’s work in 1923 included walking 10 or 12 miles in from the ’
job when the model-T construction truck broke down. “And that happened pretty often,” he notes.
In addition to more dependable transportation, Walling has seen numerous other improvements
in the telephone business.
“Making a Long Distance call today is about as easy as making a local call was in 1923," he says.
“And yet Long Distance rates have been going down ever since I can remember.” —I

“I wouldn’t even guess,” says Walling. “We already have electronic mdgsd
switching and microwave and satellite communications. Whatever comes along you 5
probably wouldn’t believe right now.” V
Whatever does come along will come because of people like Curtis Walling. He and •
7,000 other Southwestern Bell people in Oklahoma have one thing in common. They’re working
to make your telephone service better than ever. / ,
