TO THE EDITOR:
It must be near election time again!
State Sen. Keith Leftwich has found an
issue that will put his face and name on
the front page and on TV. It was in the
plan for Columbus School to be ready for
students Aug. 25. Crews were working
diligently to meet that goal. Due to an
unforseen problem, that date was de-
layed one week.
It is my understanding none of the chil-
dren were being educated in the building
so were reasonably safe and secure away
from the mess. In rides Sen. Leftwich on
his white charger, ready to rescue the
distressed.
Anyone having completed a home re-
modeling while living in the home, can
attest to delays and disruption in their
lives. Dr. Marvin Crawford has done a
much better job of managing the Oklaho-
ma City Public School system than his
predecessors. He did not create the bond
issue mess, he is trying to rectify it.

At Track MeetsBy David Morris
Staff Writer
EDMOND - As Sue
Tunnicliff ups her
goals, records fall.
The 60-year-old Ed-
mond resident added
a second world record
to her accomplish-
ments. The most re-
cent coming during
the USA National
Masters Outdoors
Track and Field
Championships in San
Jose, Calif., held Aug.
7-10.
Tunnicliff competes
in the 60-64 division.
Tunnicliff set a new
outdoor world record
in the pole vault,
clearing a height of 6
feet, 63/4 inches. She
set the indoor world
record earlier this
year.
"I've been doing sev-
en (feet) in practice.
But I can't do it in a
meet i Kenextwon a gold in the pole
vault and a bronze in
the discus.
She began her track
career at age 55. Her
first competition was
the Tulsa Senior
Olympics, where she
brought back nine
medals.
Now 60, Tunnicliff is
again a force in a new
division. Athletes are
grouped by five-year
increments.
"I look forward to a
new age group. Birth-
days are not hard. I
couldn'twait to be 60
to be the youngest
one," she said.From Page 1
leadership of Gen.
George Patton. The
Oklahoma native took
part in the D-Day In-
vasion of Europe.
For many years, he's
been known as the
person to call at the
sight of an unservice-
able U.S. flag.
Even though health
problems have slowed
him down, he contin-
ues to respond almost
every day to requests
for flag repair and dis-
posal. His wife, 74,
used to painstakingly
sew and repair the
mangled threads.
McAllister has now
enlisted a company to
do the work.
If nothing can be
done to make a flag
presentable, it is de-
stroyed in a dignified
burning ceremony by
American Legion
members with re-
maining ashes scat-
tered on the ground,
McAllister has been
an American Legion
member for 24 years,
serving in all com-
mand positions. He is
a member of Post 13
in Capitol Hill.
"I'm trying to edu-
cate people. If you just
look around in Okla-
homa or anywhere
else, flags will be
ripped and torn. It's
just kind of sickening
to me. People don't re-
spect the flag any-
more. I don't know
why," he said.
McAllister helps
with requests for new
flags and poles by pur-
chasing them through
the American Legion,
and he'll also provide
a pamphlet containing
all the rules of flag eti-
quette.
A common mistake
is a failure to honor
the, presence of a U.S.
flag - as in a parade
- with the salute ofthe right hand over
the heart.
McAllister's mission
now also includes re-
placing plain gold
balls atop many flag-
poles with high-flying
bronze eagles.
"A ball doesn't stand
for anything. Flags
tattered and torn and
looking like a dishrag
are a disgrace. They
should take care of it,
because men died for
them, me and the flag.
God bless Old Glory,"
he said.
Flag
Rules
Offered
"The Pledge of Alle-
giance to the Flag
should be rendered by
standing at attention
facing the flag with
the right hand over
the heart. When not
in uniform, mei
should remove their
headdress with their
right hand and hold it
at the left shoulder,
the hand being over
the heart. Persons in
uniform should re-
main silent, face the
flag, and render the
military salute." -
Rule according to a
July 7, 1976, amend-
ment to the Federal
Flag Code approved
by the 94th Congress.
