The huge exposition, which set an all-time record attendance last yearwith 725,000 persons, is currently in its second day with what appears to be another record-breaking fair in prospect. From high above fair park at NW 10 and May avenue, one views the grounds on a typical day during previous fair. Looking west in the upper left is the grandstand, scene of this year's rodeo and International 3-Ring Circus. May avenue is at the extreme left. In the center is the Arrows to Atom plaza. Directly to left, the circular building, is the Oklahoma Arts Center. Just above the center can be seen several of the major exhibit buildings, the bandshell and the Oklahoma Science and Arts Foundation, the building with the white dome (actually blue) where you can view plantarium shows daily. the big buildings in the upper right make up the hub of livestock activities at the fair. Northwest 10 street runs along the bottom of the picture. Just out of the picture, at the right, is the All-Sports Stadium, home of the Oklahoma City 89ers. If one were high in the air for the current fair, the picture would include several new buildings, principally additions to the livestock pavilions and a huge area where a new 7,500 seat arena is going into place. It will be the major new look of the 1964 State Fair of Oklahoma."

Caption: "Oil gushing from a broked Champlain Co. pipeline at more than a barrel a minute caught fire and sent black billows of smoke over Oklahoma City Wednesday. The fire blazed in a dump ground at 400 SE 2, which the city fire inspection office claims it has been attempting to close since February 2. Well Threatened Before it was controlled, the blaze threatened to spread to a nearby oil well located downwind from the severed pipe, just southeast of El Reno and S. Byers....Capt. Bert Kuehnert, fire inspector, blamed a "deep seated" fire in the dump yard for the oil blaze, which destroyed about 200 barrels of high gravity oil. Capt. Kuehnart said he sent a letter February 2 to Dr. M. L. Peter, city-county health officer, requesting that the Reno dump grounds closed. He said the operator, R. M. Aker, "persists in burning refusr, in strict violation of the city ordinance governing sanitary landfill operations. Smoke poured skyward over easter Oklahoma City when a broken oil pipe caught fire."

Caption: "First step was taken Wednesday toward construction of a multi-million-dollar office building and apartment house complex on the banks and an island of Belle Isle Lake. An option forstudy and development was signed between Amderson-Roomey Co., owners and operators of Penn Square, and the Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co. Foundation, owners of about 13 acres in the tract. W. A. Anderson, president of Anderson-Roomey, estimated the 9-story office building, 20-story apartment and clinic building will cost "somewhere between $8 million and $10 million, depending upon the final plans." "It won't come tommorow. We're still in the process of study and planning. But we are far enough along that we can make a deal, get the idea out in the open and start writing definite contracts.....The project has been under study for some months. Coston-Frankfurt-Short, Oklahjoma City architecural firm that specializes in large commercial developments, submitted the proposals..........Anderson-Roomey is owned jointly by W. A. Anderson and the Rooney Brothers John E. Rooney and L. F. Rooney jr."

Caption: "Back when a gool cigar was a nickel and a barber shop shave was a necessity and not a luxury, a firman's life was no more complicated than complicated than deciding whether to pass his time playing dominoes or pitching horseshoes. His leisure time was interrupted only by occasional house-cleaning chores, and, of course, fires. When the fire bell sounded, he leaped from his recreation onto the fire wagon or, later, fire truck and raced to the fire, following by a goodly portion of the town's small boys and all of its dogs. Once At the fire, he risked his life with inadequate protection and equipment. The odds were against him. Like all other hallmarks of the golden age, the old-fashioned fireman has vanished. He's been replaced by a profession as specialized as an engineer, doctor or lawyer. The new fireman still plays dominoes, or more likely watches TV, but his spare time has diminished. Study, drill and constructive jobs fill in the time once devoted to recreation........Capt. Roy M. Johnson, director of training, and Chief Haskell Graves said a fireman's training never ends. A 10-year vetern must mount the practice tower along with the newest man...The training has paid dividends in better fire protection and increased safety, the captain said.

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "A stuart Davis abstraction in oil, entitled "Memo," makes striking background for the classical lines of William Zorach's "Torso," chisled out of Labrador granite. American artists of the last four decades have been expressing themselves in a wide variety of styles and with abundant vitality - this you may note in the current exhibition at the Oklahoma Ar Center. Every person with delight in art, or a grain of curiosity about American art, should see it. Its like has not come this way before, and may not come again soon. It is the Sara Roby Collection coming from the Whitney Museum of Art in New York, and although it is highly selective, maybe leaving out your favorite artist, it emenplifies every major trent of the four decades it covers......All the works were purchased from living artists, and Kuniyoshi, a much beloved Japanese American, is one of the handful who are not still living. Guy Pene du Bois and George Grosz are two others. Fashion artist Faty Taylor and all the Fashion Group should see Du Bois' "Shovel Hats" of 1923, and Kenneth Hay Miller's "Bargain Hunters," of 1940. They're documentary. A whole shool of realists developed out of Miller's teaching, including Isobel Bishop, whose man "Mending" is a subtle ad delicate example of her work, a thing of neutral, webbed tones in oil. It is almost as delicate as Morris Graves "Hibernation," which is drawn fine as any first rate spider's work.......Max Weber's "Trio" of muscians are kissing cousins to his "Two Vases," in the collection of the Unoiversity of Oklahoma. No regionalists - not Benton, or Wood, or Curry - unless you count Charles Burchfield, and he qualifies more as a pioneer modernist in distortion for the sake …
Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "The Cost Of an operation is sometimes worse than the operation itself according to some who have gone through it. But before you suffer a relapse at the sight of the operation room charges for your surgery, make a comparison with the cost of equipment and preparing that operation room to keep you alive and healthy. At St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City more than 5,500 major operations were performed in its 12 regular operating rooms and two eye surgery rooms during 1962. Minor surgery added another 5,300 to that while the hospital three cast rooms were used for 2,222 cases. Operations at the hospital sometimes total 50 a day if you add emergency cases, according to Sister Mary Grace, hospital administrator, and the surgery may require anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. The hospital charges for operating room range from $20 for a tonsillectormy to $50 or $60 for a craintomomy................Hospital paid personnel in the surgery room includes a circulating nurse whose salary is about $2 an hour and a scrub technician or nurse at the same rate. But there are many others involved in the preperation of the room, the washing, sterlizing and wrapping of instrunments, linens and supplies and the cleaning of the room following surgery. Salaries of employees who do this work range from $120 to $140 a month. And if you still are worrying about what those operating room charges include, you can add in the piped-in oxygen, surgical soap, powder for the surgical gloves, special non-conductive flooring, X-ray viewers, waste-baskets, clothes hampers for dirty linens and salaries of nurses assigned to the recovery room and labratory technicians who are available to make quick examinations of tissue samples taken from the surgical …
