around us is proudly proclaimed the
biggest and the greatest oil exposi-

'worth of exhibits are on display
- Tulsa may be congratulated upon
her courage and steadfastness of
purpose Through all the lark years
that have followed 1929's "Black
Fridly" when RichardWhitney
now bankrupt and in Sing Sing
prison put up $1000000000 in a
runiuos effort to cheek Wall Street's
crash Tulsa has slowly but steadily
gone forward Today Tulsa is a big-
ger and a greater town than ever
before Much bigger much greater

Bristow Decade
IT MIGI1T BE interesting to look
about L'ristow for symbols and signs
and changes during the past 10
years Bri-low has had to face and
fight not only the depression Of the
last decade but the pronounced
tendency of the boom town to shrink
to its original size Every person
who is familiar with the usual course
—growth and decline—of Oklahoma
oil towns agrees that there is some
magic about Bristow that has pre-
served the town beyond reasonable
expectations That magic of cod: se
is nothing more mysterious than the
magnetic leadership of Bristow's
men and women
Bristow business men posses
"chien" or "drive" or whatever it
takes Foreseeing the road to which
we tend Ihistow business men have
through the chamber of commerce
attracted or held industries and
farm trade here to counterbalance
the decline of flush oil production
Many of the old names are gone
from the yellow pages of the phone
book it's true And many Uristow
men l‘ho saw themselves as million-
ahes (Illy a little over a decade ago
are content now to see themselves
in the clear with the tax collector
On the ever present other hand
Mally Bristow businesses have actu-
ally eperienced a growth in the
last 10 years With dogged deter-
mination and—ahem consistent ad-
vertising—pluis personality leader-
ship and SerVief' in the community
they have pushed their businesses
into a lattr positien than ever be-
fore They have taken advantage of
the hard times Ten years ago
when any fool could flaunt and
flourish their business abilities went
unrecognized but today when real
management and a dollar's worth of
goods for 93e are deManded by

MARLAND VOICES
ROOSEVELT PLEA
Governor Asks Support
For Presidential
Program
President Roosevelt is trying to
carry out the democratic platform
adopted at the convention at which
he was nominated as the candidate
for president Gov E W Mar land
told around 250 or 300 persons who
attended the League of Young Dem-
ocrats banquet in the Legion hut
here aturday evening
Those who back the president's
moves should not be classed as "rub-
ber stamps" the governor said
since they are loyal partymen who
are trying to do the will of the
party
"The party told the president
where we wanted to go and he is
trying to take us there The old ship
of state is in troublesome waters and
sometime it is necessary to go in an
opposite course from the goal in
order to take advantage of the
winds" Governor Mar land said
"but the man at the controls will
reach the goal much faster if given
cooperation and if he is not bar-
rased by those who say "No let's
try this course for awhile" and try
to alter the original plans"
Other speakers on the program
were Bill Huddleston state presi-
dent of the League of Young Dem-
ocrats Milton Keen Clinton: Woody
Hunt Seminole: Fletcher Johnson
Bristow Bill Shin Icy Bristow a
B Chuck) Ctiryell Bri3tow fourth

Officer Describes The
Prayers of Trapped
Victims
ATLANTA May 16 (IP)--Fir(
which started in a basement
kitchen killed 25 persons at the
Terminal hotel early today left
13 injured and an undetermined
number of others missing
More than a dozen persons
were mscued or leaped to safety
Reports to firemen and po-
lice indicated from 50 to 60 per-
S0113 were registered in the 62-
room five-story brick and frame
buildings A high wind fanned
the flames
15 More In Debris
City sanitary crews were set to
work in mid-morning removing the
debris With tractor power bared be-
cause of the danger of pulling down
the walls engineers estimated two
days would be required to clear out
the wreckage
Many of the dead were found in
the charred timbers which dropped
from the roof carrying away the
burning floors
Police Chief M A Hornsby ex-
pressed belief 10 or 15 more bodies
would be found in the mass of debris
piled up on the street level
Heard Victims' Prayers
Speed with which the flames gain-
ed headway amazed witnesses
Police Lieutenant J T Laseter
said he was five blocks away in a
patrol car when he saw the fire
shoot up and that by the time he
arrived smoke veiled all the build-
ing "1 couldn't see them" he said
"but I could hear people on the up-
per floors crying out and praying"
Mayor Will 13' Hartsfield said the
hotel was of a construction type no
longer permitted under the city
building code but had been remodel-
ed from its original status
The fire was described by Fire
Chief O J Parker as "the deadliest
In the history of Atlanta"
Collapse of the roof plunging
debris through charred floors to the
basement cut off hope of survival
for any who were trapprxl Only
the walls were left standing
hotel attaches said flames broke
out with an explosion in the base-
ment kitchen after 2 a m (CST)
