Friday, November 3, 1967, Sapulpa Daily Herald: New Forms on Tickets
“New traffic citation forms were put into use this week by Sapulpa area highway patrol troopers under a planned uniform reporting system which will eventually include all law enforcement agencies. Under the new system, reports of all violations will be on similar forms, whether occurring inside a city or on a state or federal highway. Sapulpa police officials said the new standard reporting forms would be put into use inside the city limits about Jan 1.

“Eastern Oklahoma saw plenty of rain during October, putting the halt to a blossoming flash drought in the part of the state. Unfortunately for drought-plagued western Oklahoma, Mother Nature was not quite so generous. Rainfall totals recorded by the Oklahoma Mesonet during October ranged from 7.15 inches at Wister in LeFlore County to a paltry 0.14 inches at Erick in Beckham County. That sort of disparity, while a bit exaggerated, spelled out the month’s perception of fortunes for the two sides of the state. The surplus in the east and the deficit in the west did manage to even things out with an average total across the state of 3.13 inches. That ranks October as the 47th wettest since records began in 1895, but still amounts to a deficit of about a third of an inch…”
