Wynnewood's iwv mayor, Omi
Johnson assumed his duties at
the Monday night City Council
Meeting.
with no first downs, it took
four plays by Savage offense
to move the ball from their
own 27 yard line to Hominy's
35. Most of the gain of that
play was a sideline 25 yard
run by Savage quarterback St-
eve Musgrove, an effort that
brought hundreds of Wynnewood
fans roaring to their feet. But
then the fumble plague struck,
Hominy recovered, and the rest
of 1st quarter time was marked
by exchanges as neither team
was able to mark first downs.
Second quarter action started
with a Wynnewood possession.
Two Savage fumbles later the
Bucks recovered at the Wy-
nnewood 14 and three plays
later moved the ball into tie
Savage endzone for the night's
first touchdown.
After a Wynnewood punt out,
the Bucks felt Savage defense
wrath when Hominy advanced
to the Wynnewood one yardline ,
savoring a second touchdovn.

to a capacity of approximately
68,000 barrels per day is con-

A LOOK AT 1973
In this issue of the Gazette we thought it would be interesting
to feature some of the highlights of 1973. These stories are
dated according to when they were printed. We hope this issue
takes you back on an enjoyable trip through the past year.
) (
ury, and particularly in the past tl rty years or so, govern-
ment was called upon to solve local problems, and each such
occasion meant delegating more responsibility to Washington, the
creation of new bureaucracies and new government spending pro-
grams. As the preoccupation with centralized authority grew,
respect for private enterprise declined. The President and the
Congress became all things to all men and were expceted to end
depressions, pr vide perpetual abundance and, in general, shield
the pulic from the inevitable storms of human existence. It w is,
of course, an impossible job.
in striving to do the impossible, the American government be-
came the greatest bureaucracy on Earth. Watergate has been the
result. It provides a graphic example of what happen when people
expect too much of government and become too dependent upon the
good offices of politicians who e no longer servants. Ilie year
1973 may very likely go down inhistory as a memorable landmark
because it was the year the government was proven fallible to the
people of the United States. It could . the year that deomostra-
ted the necessity of decentralizing federal authority, of returning
to the basic principles of state’s rightsai ' f renewed faith in the
superiority of the individula,
it is indeed possible that 1973 will become one of the most im-
portant anniversaries in American history. Iyu ay have signaled

fining facilities, the construc-
tion of which would require an
investment in the range of $40
to $50 million, Kelly said. if
Kerr-McGee decides to under-
take the project, he said, con-
struction would probably begin
in early |974 and be completed
by the end of 1975.
Kelly said the new facilities
wonild have the capability of
processing approximately
34,000 barrels per day of crude
oil, including imported, high-
sulfur oil.
"A decision on construction
of the Texoma pipeline is ex-
pected within the next two mo-
nths," McGee said. "The dec-
ision concerning the feasibility
of the refining project can be
determined within a month or
two after that,"

The pigskin trail for the num-
ber one ranked Wynnewood Sa-
vages ended Friday night when
the fumble-"' agued favorites
fell to Homin in the Class A
state champi p battle on
Midwest City’ e Field. Ho-
miny blanked the Sa' ages 21-0
as out-sized Wynnewood st-
earned up impressive efforts
on containing the Hominy Bucks
coming out of the gridiron ch-
ampionship contest with the nu-
mber tw spot of the state's
Class A best. When you are
number two, you try harder.
The Savages state position may
well be predictive of the '74
season where Wynnewood will
face Davis, Konawa and Lex-
ington in getting again into the
State Class A semi-finals and
then the finals.
Facing a heavy Buck line Fri-
day night, Wynnewood showed
spunk in holding Hominy to four
plays on the Bucks first poss-
ession, yielding only nine yards
FILMS AVAILABLE AT OSU
Over 4500 film titles are now available to Oklahomans as
an Oklahoma State University extension service.
Any school, individual or organization may use the films
for educational purposes, according to Dr. Woodfin Harris,
Audiovisual Center director.
The 1973-75 film catalog, which includes 1,000 new titles,
has been mailed to all schools and county OSU extension cen-
ters in the state. Subject appeal ranges from preschool to adult.
Largest areas are science, elementary and agriculture with
the most popular dealing with drugs, ecology or “whatever
currently is ‘in’," said Harris. Films are listed in 26 catego-
ries and 745 subcategories. The general public may obtain
film descriptions and use guidelines from the county exten-

In making the announcement,
» Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer D,A, McGee said few
major expansions to Oklahoma
refineries had been made in
[ recent years largely because
' of the declining availability of
crude oil.
I "Kerr-McGee hopes to rev-
erse this trend by importing
( crude oil into Oklahoma thr-
ough the proposed Texoma pi-
peline and processing it at Wy-
nnewood," McGee said.
A LANDMARK YEAR
As it rolls off the calnedar, each year has one terminal charac-
teristic in common with every other year--a mass of year-end
reports, summaries and prophecies. In this, 1973 is no excep-
tion. In other respects, the year may be remembered as one of
the most significant in American hisory. It began with the end-
ing of America’s longest and most detested war. I traversed the
long months of an awakening evnironinental realism. It wit-
nessed the rise of what Mr. Rogers C.B. Morton, Secretary of the
Interior, has called the ‘‘Greatest Issue Before the American
People’’—the energy shortage. An finally, it ushered in a stunning
debacle in governmental affairs. As a result of Watergate and o-
ther scandals, the country was left with no Vie President and a
President on the verge of impeachment. These events overshad-
owed further achie vements in space and the steady march forward
of other phases of technological progress that holdpromise of re-
solving enviormnental and energy problems and of opening the way
to a higher civilization.
In retrospect, the multiple adversities of 1973 could urn into
blessings. The energy shortage, for example, is forcing recog-
nition of the fact that shutting down power plant, halting gas and oil
resource development, compelling closure of factories and the
laying of countless thousands of American citizens isa poor way to
control pollution and imrpove the enviornment. As for Watergate,
the general feeling seems to be one of mass sillusionment with
government and government offic als. But here again, events that
have the appearance of near strophe may ak long--
blessings.
Centuries ago, the forefathers of present generati 01 s of Ameri-
cans came to the shores of what is now the United States to es-
cape the oppression of kings. As the great documents--such as
the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution--that accom-
panied the American Revolution adn the foulding of our nation in-
dicated alltoo well, our forebears had no intention of escaping f
onel tyranny only to deliver thems lves once again o despotic gov
ernment in the New World. They believed in the supremacy of th"
individual and in religious, political and economic freedom. They
believed in property rights and in government as the servant rather
that the master of the people. With infinite wisdon, they established
a representative form of governmet, using every saf eguard against
tyranny they could devise.
For well over a century, the basic tenets of the American system
remained vivid in the hearts and mids of American citizens. Then
shomewhere along the line the American phib sophy becam adul-
terated with new concepts--c oncept hat embraced the philo-
sophy of looking to govern nent as leader rather than a r-
vant. With ever-greater frquencj Ince the turn of the ci nt-
