The right cross is lower than the main one, and representspenitence. Lowest one represents rejection. The Cross is most universlly used to decorate Christian churches. This series, in St. Luke's Methodist church, is patterned after the three crosses of Golgotha, and represent sacrifice, pentence, and rejection. Note the varying heights and different levels of arm pieces. For more about how the cross is used in church design and artwork, see page 6."

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."

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Lake Hefner, the city's bigger water reservoir, looks like a farm pond puddle from the air. This aerial photograph shows flow to the lake has shrunk from its former shoreline during a year without any water added to it from the North Canadian river. The dotted line indicates the shoreline when the lake is filled. The nubicipal boat docks, right center, were left high and dry by the receding waters. The lake, with help of a half-full Lake Overholser, holds enough water to last Oklahoma City into November. City officials are debating the call of a bond election to provide $2 millions for 80 shallow wells in the North Canadian river valley to supplement the dwindling supply to the lakes. the election was originally set for April 28, but was called off when March rains put some water in Lake Overholser."

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "There's water in Lake Overholser, above, but it's going fast through use and evaporation. Water from recent rains has been added to Overholser instead of the bigger Lake Hefner. Before the March and April rains, Overholser was a puddle in the middle of a silted plain. Overholser, with enough water to last the city six weeks (without any help from Lake Hefner), now is half full. lake Hefner, which holds the balance of water to carry the city into the first week of Novemember, is 24 feet down from the full mark. City councilmen Tuesday set July 7 as the date for a bonde election of $2 millions to drill and equip 80 shallow water wells in the North Canadian river valley. The wells will provide and estimated 25 million gallon of water daily."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Deputies probed two nice grass patches in the littered backyard of W. F. Russell, 621 S Pennsylvania, Friday and unearthed two whisky caches. Among the tall ragweeds, rags and jumble of wood and cans, the well tended, watered patches of bermuda looked out of place. Close inspection showed small wire loops staking up in the center. L. H. Kolb and Gleen Roberts, liquor raiders, tugged on the wires and tim cans full of earth and bermuda lifted away to disclose underground boxes. Sweating in the hot sun, Kolb and Roberts dug out the buried boxes, one of which contained 21 pints and the other 19 pints. Mrs. Russell, at home when the raiders arrived, said her husband should return shortly. "Bill ought to be back by now," she said, "he's downtown now buying his 1949 liquor dealer's stamp."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Profits from a newly-bought grocery store will build a new church for a Guthrie congregation. Faced with need for a bigger church, Assembly of God church members hit on the novel ideaof buying a store and letting the profile do the work. The idea was first suggested a month ago. This week the members bought out Loyd Jay, owner of Jay's grocery, one of the oldest grocery stores in Oklahoma's original capital. Glen Johnson, secretary-treasurer of the young people's group in the church, put on a cover-all white apron and was installed as store manager...............Neither will Lloyd Lindgren, secretary-treasurer of the church. Lindgren, a serious-faced-man, has lived in Guthrie 25 years. He has no idea how far ahead thier financial goal is, but he firmly believes it can be reached via the grocery store. Before Jay bought the store four years ago, the store had been known as the Hirzel grocery for more than 50 years. It is located in the 100 block in N Second street. Rev. W.C. Drain, 42, is pastor of the church. (photo tag: Lloyd Lindgren, Guthrie church treasurer, left, and Glen Johnson, the church's store manager.)"

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Floyd Gass tried to do two things at once Thursday afternoon, keep warm in the face of a strong nothernly wind while watching 102 prospects who turned out for the first day of Oklahoma State's spring footbal drills. The cold didn't seem to bother the players. They were more concerned with contact work and checking their speed over a 40-yard course in full uniform. "They seem to be in a good frame of mind," Gass said, "This'll help. "we had some hitting in the late part of the practice but it was only three-on-three contact. I like our physical condition. It's not bad - not bad at all." The condition showed up full bloom when the Cowboys took time off in the middle of their two-hour drill for the 40-yard dash. Clocking the fastest times were Altus senior defensive halfback Tom Carraway; sophmore-to-be recievers Reuben Gant of Tulsa Washington and Steve pettes, who missed three of the four freshman games after an operation on his thumb, and senior running back Bobby Cole, all at 4.7......

Caption: "That $16 millions electric plant, which looms 13 stories high on the horizion out near Mustang-just south of Lake Overholser-is, some ways, like a wet baby. If something goes wrong it just brawls. But, unlike a baby, the unhurried man knows instantly which pin is sticking where. He just glances up at a square window which flashes when the horn blows. There, plain as day, is written notice to look at some particular dial. It's like a huge baby, too, in one other respect, say the folks of Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co., who are on duty there. "The Worst Thing that could happen out here is for us to lose our air-because then, well, everthing would just stop," says A. H. McCurry, control operator...Rumors have been flying in industrail circles now for weeks about the "push button" making of electricity for Oklahoma City. It's the truth. three men inside the huge plant - and one outside watching the water do the whole job. It's an army where no one is private.

Caption: "Capitol Hill's fancy sgops and stores are to receive a spanking new addition in about six weeks when the new super-swank Reding shopping center, SW 44 and Western, is open to the public. The modernistic brick building will house some of the fanciest shops and stores in Oklahoma City - and builders of the shopping center believe it will be the largest and most modern in Oklahoma City when completed. Construction on the new giant among shopping centers started back in March. Work bogged down in May when rains came and a brick wall was blown over by gale-like winds. Material shortages also hurt program.........The shopping center is so named - Reding - because it is being built on property that was formely owned by Nick Reding. The one long building now is 750 feet long and 150 feet wide and plans are already being worked into shape to build even more shops and stores in the area......"They have the feeling that this section of the city is going to multiply many times what it is now in a few short years," he said.

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Next to fire that takes himan life, an art gallery fire can be one of the most grieviou. It takes with it the creative work of artists' minds and hands, family heirlooms, ancestral value, things that speak of history. Such things are unique, irreplaceable, and in this sense, priceless. Notes for the story were made on smoke stained paper smelling of the smoke of such a fire. The place was still a sorry shambles of ashes, and of charred, blistered, blackeded, blanke-looking stubs and skeletons of things that a short time ago had shown the variant forms and colors of art and beauty, a joy to the eye and a lift to the spirit. What is the aftermath? Where does clean up start? What are the complications? How do you get going again? These questions the reporter was asking E. R. Abbott, gallery owner and artist, 10 days after the fire.........."Uptown Art Galleries," Abbolt signs said." 1623 NW 23. Hundreds of prints, conventional, unusual, rare; oil paintings, watrecolors, etchings; picture framing, 300 or more patterns." The place was more than gallery and workshop however. It was home and studio, done over many years, and Mrs. Abbott's antique glass, china, figurines and bibelots. (photo tag: The Uptown Art Galleries workshop firre was three rooms away from the front door, but it was blankened and cracked. This is its second and more optimistic sign. The first said in efect, "We are closed to inspect damage Do not know when we can take care of customers."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Twenty-five years ago a new kind of slot machine became legal in Oklahoma City. And with their first cautious, skeptical operation of the devices (installed on the downtown curbs, of all things" Oklahoma Cityans launched a traffic revolution that was to be felt in virtually every part of the world where automobiles are no novelty. It was July 16, 1935, that city drivers first faced the need of dropping a nickel in the parking meter slot on downtown streets in order to buy protection from parking tickets. The meters operated only a day before a restraining order temporarily put them out of business. But after the round of legal wrangling was over, the meters clicked merrily on their way and in the course of 25 years have mushroomed from the original 175 test machines to today's 3,300 meters blanketing most of the city's congested areas....Harold Griffin, city treasurer, checked his records last week and reported that parkers' pennies, nickels and dimes clocked through the city meters in the 25-year period have added up to $3,994,285. Nor does this take into account the additional parking ticket revenue undoubtedly created by meter installation. Carl Magee, former Oklahoma City newspaper editor, gets the credit for touching off the parking meter revolution. It came about because he took seriously his assignment in the early 1930's as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce committee on downtown parking...With this basic idea he went to Prof. H. G. Thuesen of the Oklahoma A&M school of industrial engineering, and Gerald A. Hale, of the school's mechanical engineering staff............One of the big companies is the Magee-Hale Park-O-Meter Co., with a plant in Willow Springs industrial area. it is headed by Hale, one of the original designers.........There are some …

"It just grew like Topsy," Mrs. Ardith Carelene Dolese explains. "We added a room there and I guess we didn't know when to quit." In 1941 the eight-room which which cost $14,500 and looked like many others in the neighborhood, became the Dolese home. It was the "honeymoon cottage" for Ardith and Roger M.
