Lynn, Ramona and Ash-leigh Cross of Atwood lost their home and belongings this past Wednesday, January 14th, when fire broke out in a bedroom and quickly spread throughout the home.

The family, along with daughter-in-law, Lacie Cross, and grandsons, Caden, Cam-

den, Carbon and Colton Cross, were watching televi-sion at approximately 8:30 p.m. when one of the boys said he thought he smelled smoke. They then began hearing the sound of .22 shells, which were kept in the bedroom, exploding.

The family quickly exited the house; Ramona managed to take her purse, cell phone, shoes and Bible with her but all else was lost to the fire.

The family would like to thank the fire departments who responded, Atwood, Calvin and Holdenville.

The Allen Chamber of Commerce met for their January meeting Tuesday, the 20th, and finalized plans for the annual banquet.

The Chamber will hold this annual event on Tues-day evening, February 17th. Dinner will begin at 7:00 pm with awards, entertainment and door prizes to follow. Menu for the evening will be grilled chicken breast, mashed potatoes, vegetables, rolls and desserts.

As they have been for the past several years, tickets for the event are $8.00 each and everyone is invited to attend. Tickets are available at The Advocate, Farmers State Bank, or from Charles and Betty Speir.

The Speirs are also collect-ing 2015 membership and flag service dues. Cost of a local membership is $25 with the flag service avail-able for $15. Out-of-town membership dues are $50.

Also discussed at the Tues-day meeting was the upcom-ing Easter Egg Hunt. The Buck Gilmore Memorial Egg Hunt is always held on the Hunt is always held on the HuntSaturday of Palm Sunday weekend which gives a rain date of Easter weekend if necessary. This year’s date will be March 28th and the event will be held in the Al-len City Park.

The Allen Chamber will also participate in the Pon-totoc County Relay for Life. The fundraiser benefits the American Cancer Society and will be held from 6:00 pm on May 29th until 1:00 am on the 30th. Relay offi-cials are hoping to attract 55 teams, 700 participants and 225 survivors to the 2015 event at the Ada High School football field. The theme for this year’s event is “Party with a Purpose,” reflecting the goal of creating a fun event while raising money for cancer research. Orga-nizers have set a fundraising goal of $140,000, which will go to the ACS for cancer re-search and other activities.

Congratulations to the January 2015 Mustangs of the Month, Kinsey Nix and Chisum Lee. They were honored this week, present-ed with plaques and Allen Bucks, by Allen Cham-ber of Commerce member Taylor Howard of Edward Jones Financial Service in Ada.

Kinsey is the daughter of Chad and Valerie Nix. She is a 7th grader in the Allen Junior High. Her favorite

subject is Science because “it is fun and I like the teacher.”

Kinsey is on the Aca-demic Team and a starter on the basketball team. She hobbies include softball, basketball, riding horses, hanging out with friends, and going to the movies. She hopes to attend the Uni-versity of Oklahoma after her high school graduation where she plans to major in nursing.

Her teachers say, “Kinsey is a hardworking student that is conscientious with her work and respectful to her teachers and classmates. She is always willing to lend a hand and is active with the Junior High Lady Mustangs in softball and basketball.”

Chisum is the son of Kim and Larry Lee; he is in the 8th grade. History is his favorite subject because he enjoys learning about things that have happened in the past and seeing how the world has changed.

Chisum is active in sports and was on the baseball team that won the Stuart Tournament last year. He also works hard to maintain his grades during his time at Allen. Chisum’s hobbies are roping and riding, the military, guns, and sports. He is undecided about his future but is interested in the military or law enforce-ment fields, or possibly becoming a computer tech-nician. Of course, the NFL is also a possibility.

Chisum’s teachers say, “Chisum plays trumpet and is an active member of the Allen Junior High and

High School Pep Band. Chisum has played foot-ball since the second grade and has held the fullback, tailback, defensive end, noseguard and tight end positions for the Allen Ju-nior High Football Team. Along with being named to the Superintendent and Principal’s Honor Rolls numerous times, Chisum is captain of the Junior High Academic Team and has been a team member for the past four years. Chisum also participates in Junior High Powerlifting and is getting ready for Junior High Baseball.”

Spencer Cody, Allen Band Coach, continued by saying, “Chisum has really taken it upon himself to improve in every way he can, to the point where he asks his teachers for more work. Honest to goodness, you can’t ask for any better work ethic in education than that. I am super proud of the example he sets and the leadership role he has taken up without even meaning to. It is always good to see someone using their gifts to the full extent they can, and Chisum is!”

Sunday we had a small crowd but enjoyed worshiping the Lord with our friends and neighbors. Following the Sun-day School hour we had our congregational singing and our special for the week. The special was sung by the men’s trio made up of Bill Cates, Matt Chapman and Gary DeShields.They sang “My Redeemer.” It doesn’t take any practice for them, they are always ready.

Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from Matthew 24:36-44 and entitled “Are You Ready?”Most people aren’t seriously thinking about Christ’s return.We are far more concerned with

everyday things. For most of us eternity seems so vague and distant that it doesn’t seem real.In church we at least talk about eternity. The preacher preaches on it from time to time. Death sometimes forces us to think about it, but not for long. What would it take for most people to think seriously about Christ’s return? Would a national or international crisis do it? We each need such a personal rela-tionship with Christ that we are anticipating his return.

Everyone will be surprised when Christ returns. One truth remains: no one knows

for sure when. He affirmed the certainty, but not the time.Will we be ready when Christ comes? Jesus pointed to the importance of keeping watch.That means that our spiritual lives must be our priority. We must not allow the everyday activities of life on earth to capture our complete attention.When we least expect it Christ will return.

Sunday night we watched the movie “Left Behind.” This went along with the message from this morning. It was a great film and everyone should see it.

Many of us remember the book “problem” from our college days. The books were always very expensive and worth little or nothing when you tried to sell them back at the end of the semester.

I thought the books were a racket then and I still do. Others believe as I do including Craig Richardson, Professor of Eco-nomics at Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina. He wrote the following last week . . .

I’ve been teaching economics for 25 years, and yet I’ve rou-tinely missed a perfect opportunity to explain how markets fail to deliver efficient solutions. It isn’t just me. During our first day of class in introductory economics, thousands of economics professors began with a key lesson: how to make better decisions by carefully weighing benefits and costs. Yet we professors are shockingly blind about what our students pay for the textbooks from which we teach these valuable lessons. Even on Amazon the average price of a new copy of one of the best-selling eco-nomics textbooks, “Principles of Economics” by Greg Mankiw, can be more than $250 (and retail for a hardcover edition is about $360).

Think about it: For a student working at minimum wage, it would take him about 35 hours of work after taxes to afford this book. Not to pick on Mr. Mankiw, since he has written a fine book, but $250 for a new textbook? Really?

In 1982 I took Principles of Economics for the first time and I believe I paid about $20 for a wonderful textbook by Richard Lipsey and Peter Steiner, “Economics.” Minimum wage was $3.35, then so it took about six hours of work for me to pay for the book, which I did with cash earned over the summer. (The textbooks haven’t changed all that much, by the way.)

So what is going on? Since 1985, prices of all consumer goods have about doubled, but textbook prices have risen sixfold, ac-cording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The reason is such an interesting one that it’s surprising it doesn’t find its way into the first chapter of every economics textbook. The cardinal lesson is that prices rise unchecked if the people who order the goods aren’t paying the prices.

Publishers routinely hide the suggested retail prices of their textbooks from the book cover and most of us never bother to ask what they cost. After all, we’re not paying for them, right? Instead, we’re swayed by the publisher offering us free examina-tion copies, PowerPoints, lecture notes, quiz generators and so forth. Instead of engaging in cost-benefit analysis, we only pay attention to the benefits to us before ordering the outrageously expensive books that we ask our students to pay for.

There’s more to this story. During the past 30 years, there has been an explosion of student-loan debt. Students rarely pay for books out of pocket and instead roll it into their financial-aid package. So a $250 textbook is not being paid back over de-cades. It’s a bit like the prospective car owner who pays $400 for optional floor mats when it only adds a few dollars to her monthly payment, yet would never pay cash out of pocket for the same mats. The easy access to financial aid has meant there is no natural binding mechanism on price increases, since the pain of rapidly rising prices is scarcely felt by years of student-loan payments.

So here is the $250 economics textbook, a creature of govern-ment-subsidized student loans, professors who pay no attention to prices, and students who strive to push the costs down the road.

It seems like a natural end of chapter one question, doesn’t it?

—CC— How many committees are there in the world? Too Many! There are mainly two kinds of committees, those that don’t

do anything, and those that screw up everything. Dave Muerer writes about a church committee that he was

very familiar with . . . It is a raging mystery to this very day. One afternoon our

church office manager, Robin, opened a large manila envelope that had mysteriously arrived on her desk. Inside she found an official-looking document that read as follows:

MEMORANDUMTO: The Ministerial StaffFROM: The Committee on Appropriate ministerial Rectitude

and CircumspectionRE: Inappropriate Behavior by the Ministerial Staff It has come to the attention of the Committee on Appropriate

Ministerial Rectitude and Circumspection that members of the ministerial staff are driving automobiles with inappropriate colors of paint. The Committee feels compelled to address this crucial issue.

The Committee is deeply concerned, for example, by reports that the church secretary drives a white car. Inasmuch as white is the symbolic color of purity, the Committee is concerned that the use of a white-colored car could represent a haughty, “holier than thou” – or, even worse – “holier than the Commit-tee” mentality. This constitutes a clear and flagrant violation of Saint Paul’s directive to “avoid even the appearance of evil” and “esteem others as more impertinent than yourself.”

In a related vein, the Committee notes that another member of the ministerial staff drives a blue vehicle. regrettably, blue is often associated with profane music – such as “the blues” – which is often performed in dark saloons and lounges where pasty-faced loan sharks leer at cocktail waitresses. The Com-mittee does not feel it is either appropriate or circumspect to encourage the flock to frequent these establishments.

The Committee would comment on the remaining colors of ministerial staff automobiles, but modesty prevents us from discussing them. Suffice it to say that some members of the ministerial staff have their minds in the gutter.

Having outlined the biblical basis for our decision, the

Committee on Appropriate ministerial Rectitude and Cir-cumspection hereby directs the ministerial staff – in keeping with the biblical truth that we are “formed from dust, and to dust you shall return” – to drive automobiles that are a dirty brown color. This will also help foster ministerial humility. And for the record, the Committee prefers Fords. They require a lot of faith.

The memo was not attrib-uted to anyone other than the unidentified “Committee on Appropriate Ministerial Rec-titude and Circumspection.” (Motto: “We Already Know Who We Are, So You Don’t Have To.”)

More memos appeared in the months to follow. The Com-mittee had an opinion on every facet of church life, from the appropriate color of the choir robes (blue, like heaven) to the appropriate temperature of the water in the baptistry (fifty-eight degrees): “The Committee does not believe in frittering away scarce fi-nancial resources heating the baptistry when there are more pressing needs, such as erect-ing covered parking spaces for members of the Committee. Besides, the Committee has already been baptized.”

January dawned with yet another memo slipped through the door of the church office: “The Committee on Appro-priate Ministerial Rectitude and Circumspection relishes the dawning of a new year in which the ministerial staff may benefit from our collec-tive wisdom and direction. We trust that the ministerial staff shares our enthusiasm to expose, and then vigorously weed out, the flaws of the ministerial staff. We certainly enjoy it.”

The anonymous memos were relentless, pounding away at every ministry decision, every expense, everything – includ-ing the footwear of the high school youth group: “The Committee suggests black wing-tip shoes, inasmuch as this is what the disciples would have worn if they had had the opportunity to benefit from the Committee’s direction. As always, the Committee is pleased to offer its guidance, and eagerly awaits the oppor-tunity to spy out yet another issue that we can summarily roast with the flame-thrower of vigilance before it grows up into the tender plant of excessive liberty. (The Com-mittee just loves these kinds of metaphors.)”

Tragically, these mysterious memos began taking their toll on the staff. Finger pointing abounded. Even worse, all the fingers were pointed at me.

One day the pastor for chil-dren, Paul, flatly declared that I was involved.

“Do you honestly think that I am a member of the Commit-tee?” I replied, aghast.

“No, I thing you ARE the Committee,” he groused.

The Committee seems to lose interest after a while, perhaps because their orders were ridiculed and then ignored by the staff. However, the Committee returned with a vengeance when the church began consideration of a building program after it com-pletely maxed out the existing facility and had to begin turning people away.

MEMORANDUMTO: The Ministerial StaffFROM: The Committee on Appropriate ministerial Rectitude

and CircumspectionRE: The Church Growth Crisis The Committee on Appropriate Ministerial Rectitude and

Circumspection is pleased to inform the Ministerial Staff that we have fashioned a cost-free solution to the distressing problem of church growth. (A problem that is making it increasingly difficult for Committee members to sit in their favorite pew.)

The Committee, alarmed by the possibility that building new buildings could absorb resources that could otherwise be used to erect covered preferential parking slots for Committee members, has devised a plan to limit this unwanted growth.

The Committee proposes fixing a maximum number of church attendees, and once that limit is reached, the Committee would commence a “weeding-out process” to remove the least desir-able members. Thus for every new congregant accepted into our number, the Committee would give the “heave-ho” to the least desirable member. The Committee envisions a specially designed chair attached to an extremely powerful spring, or perhaps even a catapult. While this plan would entail the cost of a moveable “skylight” window, the Committee notes that this modest remodel would cost far less than an entirely new building.

Ever eager to serve, the Committee has volunteered to im-mediately begin the weeding-out process. While you might expect the Committee to sharply differ over just who, precisely, merits the distinction of the least desirable church member, the Committee is pleased to report a unanimous verdict – Pastor Paul.

The Committee did have trouble coming to a conclusion about where to situate the “heave-ho” seat. Initially, several commit-tee members wished to locate it at the rear of the auditorium so as not to disrupt the service by launching the unfortunate undesirable attendee through the roof. However, after much contemplation, the Committee realized the advantage of placing the special seat right up front. The Committee believes that a very public launching would motivate other service attendees to get their spiritual act together in order to avoid selection for the “heave-ho.” Additionally, the spectacle of Pastor Paul hurling into the atmosphere is a sight that, frankly, we would feel selfish for keeping to ourselves. The Committee is magnanimous in this way.

We trust that the ministerial staff (well, at least most of the staff) will applaud the Committee’s resolution of the disturbing church growth problem. We look forward to a most exciting Sunday morning.

—CC— And last of all, my favorite story of the week . . . A local church member told us that their pastor had sanitary

hot-air hand dryers installed in the church restrooms. The next month, however, he called to have them removed.

The first parishioner who saw that the dryers had disappeared asked the pastor why, as it seemed they were working just fine.

Our pastor turned to him and said, “I liked them, too, but last week when I went into the men’s restroom, someone had put a sign above the dryer that read, ‘For a sample of this week’s sermon, push the button.’”

by Cleo Emerson LeVally Last week I left my column

with the Depression starting in the 1930’s.

With the depression our family became poorer. I did not realize it as first as we always had plenty to eat; living on a farm and grow-ing our own food and Mom canning most of the food we ate. I was young and having a good time growing up. By this time I was in the middle of grade school and by the time I reached high school I realized that my older sisters were wearing each other’s clothes. Some days one of them may not go to school because she did not have a warm coat to wear. If you or any member of your family grew up during the Depres-sion years, this is a familiar story.

During my growing up years we did have a lot of hand me down clothes. My Mother’s family were all business owners. One broth-er was a banker, one had a mercantile store and another was married to a druggest. They always wanted to help our family but my father would not accept anything he could not pay for. Mother’s sister who was married to the druggest had three sons and they passed on beautiful clothes to us. The 1920’s and 1930’s were not the years to have garage sales and a lot of their clothes and furniture

0

was passed on to us. My two older sisters would rip up the boy’s trousers and make skirts and that way they would have a suit.

My mother’s brothers and sisters lived in beautiful homes and we often visited. They would load up our truck with ‘things.’ In this way we got a piano, a Victrola, a sleeper couch, many, many books and other things. The couch was put in my sister’s room and they were able to use it for a bed at night and in the daytime, put it up as a couch, and thus have a ‘liv-ing’ room in the day.

In our real ‘living’ room, there were two beds along with a couple of rockers and straight chairs. This comprised our living room furniture, along with a large heating stove.

The girls in the family, especially me, were so en-vious of the beautiful boys’ clothes, such as knickers, blazers, two toned shoes, beautiful shirts and suits tai-lored from the most beautiful material imaginable, that we would try on everything that would fit us, and wear it if we could get away with it, taking flack from Mom and our older sisters.

The year I was in the fourth grade, on one unusually cold

day, I wore a pair of boys pants with the legs tucked into a pair of lace up boys boots that was some of this bounty. At that time, girls did not wear pants or trou-sers, and particularly boys’ clothes. My teacher was furi-ous with me; called the prin-cipal and there was a long conference on the subject

of letting me stay in school or sending me home. I told them that because it was so cold, my mother did not want to let me go to school be-cause I did not have enough warm clothes to wear. She made me dress in the boys’ clothes so I could stay warm. Since we lived so far from the school, the teachers let me stay the day but told me to never wear clothes like that to school again or they would send me home.

I was banished that day. My teacher would not call on me to answer a question or recite. If my hand was the only one up, she would go on to the next question. I was crushed but defiant and very glad I had the ‘guts’ to stick it out in school all day, in spite of her scorn.

The clothes we were given really came in handy but the books were the joy of our

life. We had the best books on all subjects, the best clas-sics, including all of Shake-speare’s works, adventure stories and the best novels of the day, all stacked in boxes and barrels, just waiting for us to explore. Everything we received from my aunt was put in the ‘smoke house’ and that is where we would go on a rainy day. Just find a good book, sit down in one of the chairs donated from my aunt’s house, and read. That is how I was able to read all the classics while I was still in grade school.

My brothers wore as many of the clothes as would fit them. We have one family picture made on Dad’s birth-day, where one of my broth-ers has on a pair of brown and white winged toed shoes that are about three sizes too large for him and you can tell it in the picture. They were such good looking shoes he could not resist wearing them to the family party.

Here’s hoping you are well and not home with one of the maladies going around. One thing we can feel good about is the weather this weekend. They say if you don’t like the weather in Oklahoma to just wait 15 minutes and it will change. Give it a week, and it seems like an entirely dif-ferent climate!

Please keep Lynn and Ramona Cross in your prayers. Their house burned, and the house and nearly everything in it will need to be replaced. Only those who have been through something like that can even imagine what it’s like. They are very thankful, though, that everyone got out safely.

At church this Sunday, Amos and Olivia Stapp opened the worship service by reciting John 3:16, and Tom Spillman sang “Until Then” as the special music selection.

Rev. Karch’s sermon was based on Luke 20:9-18. Jesus told a parable to illustrate how God had sent prophets to his people, only to have those prophets abused and ignored.

The parable told how the landowner who had planted the vineyard sent a servant to the renters to collect the fruit that was owed Him, but the renters beat up him up. The landowner then sent a 2nd and then a 3rd servant to them, but they were beaten, too.

Then God sent his only Son to them, but the sharecrop-pers killed him thinking they could then inherit the land for themselves.

There are 3 groups of people who don’t respond to an invitation to accept Christ as their savior. The 1st group does not believe there is a God, a heaven, or a hell. They may believe in such things as reincarnation. However, the scripture passage that begins with Luke 16:23 says there is a hell and it is a place of torment and regrets.

The 2nd group believes there is a hell, but they say that since all their friends will be there it will be a big party. They may say they prefer not to go to heaven because they think it will be boring.

Heaven is a perfect place where we can worship God with family members and friends. Whatever other torments hell has, hell is a lonely place, and certainly not a party. The choice doesn’t seem to be that hard!

Rather than being welcomed by his people, Jesus was crucified. That doesn’t change the fact that Jesus is the cornerstone of the church and will destroy those who refuse him.

Which brings us to the 3rd group of people. They believe that there is a heaven and a hell, but they don’t want to be saved---yet. This group should not wait any longer. It may be an inconvenient truth, but no one knows the date or the time when they will die or Jesus will return. Then all their 2nd chances will have run out.

Cat Spaying and Neutering Special

Back in the 40s and 50s everybody went to town on Saturdays to see what they could see. Well, the folks In Stonewall did. In the sum-mertime there were (more often than not) a traveling carnival or perhaps a one-ring circus with a 3-horn-band there to help entertain the masses. If none of the above made a showing there was also Main Street itself. Main Street was

busy with people--folks who liked to talk and folks waiting their turn. The stores were usually full of shoppers, visitors and more talkers. There was also a Saturday afternoon drawing--for money--just in case potential customers needed a little extra motive to come to town.

After the 3PM draw-ing some of the crowd drifted away. Many fin-

ished up their shopping and went home. Others sought shade and would feast on delicacies purchased at the store. RC Colas with peanuts, little crackers with cheese and, depending on how much money you had, bologna and lunch meats. One person told me of that time, “it” was too far to go home and turn right around and come back so we can go to the Saturday night movies.” Yes, and Sat-urdays were a big movie day down at the Main Theatre.

The matinee on Satur-days was a big event for the little kids. I think all the kids in the area must have attended all these little 3 reel westerns. There was the Serial that day--a 12 to 14 week series of events in which (at the end of each episode) the hero was shown getting killed. Dead. “How would he get out of this went the re-frain.” But through movie trickery, the hero managed to once more escape. The serial followed the show-ing of the cartoon and the short newsreel.

Then came the 57 min-ute feature with Hopalong Cassidy and such. The Durango Kid was another popular star of the silver screen cowboys. There were so many kids that many brought their own blankets or quilts and made little camp-outs between the space between the seats and the stage. All the seats seemed to be full. Hardly any adults came and no wonder.

Well, I said hardly. I was over at Stonewall last Monday visiting with some of the medical personnel in the Central Oklahoma Medical Clinic. This prac-tice is located inside the old Case State Bank Build-ing and we got to talking about the bank’s founder and president, Mr. C. L.

Case. Mr. Case was not a big movie fan but he never missed a Saturday afternoon movie at the Main. After locking up the bank he would grab lunch at Jeff Corral’s Cafe and eventually saunter down to the movie. After pay-ing his quarter he would tender a dime for one bag of popcorn (personally popped by yours truly) and then go and stand in the lobby. It was then I knew to change my job, grab my little usher’s flashlight and inform Mr. Case to “fol-low me, sir.” He always sat half-way down, on the right side on an aisle seat. Sometimes I had to move some hapless little kid but Mr. Case got his seat. Al-ways.

Those afternoon movies

were the only time no one was ever to told to hush or behave by an usher or man-ager. The kids owned the place and it was loud--and fun--just like Main Street on a Saturday afternoon ought to be. And did I men-tion that there were always at least two street preach-ers with microphones and loud-speakers? Yes. They wanted to be, and were, heard. But not inside the noisy movie.

Life has changed a lot since those days. I don’t really know why or how--it just did--and in every way it seems. One thing that hasn’t however, is that everyone needs to go to church on Sundays--including you.

Throughout the Bible, the word of God is spoken of as “light.” “Light” is the thing that enables us to see and to perceive the relationship of one object to another.“Light” enables us to direct our steps with knowledge as we travel from one place to another. God’s word is said to be “light” because it enables man to know how to live and how to direct his spiritual life. For example, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalms 119:105) Also, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the sim-ple.” (Psalms 119:130)

Without light from God, man would be stumbling in darkness. Man is not able to direct his own way (Jeremiah 10:23) without light from God. Many people have wrecked their lives because they did not direct them by the light of God’s Word. The world is in turmoil today and has been from its earliest existence because man has failed to live by the light of God’s word.

God tell us “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own

understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5) Yet, even the religious world is in turmoil because men have trusted in their own understanding rather than the light of God’s word. The state of confusion has become so bad that many people say that what we believe and how we serve God doesn’t matter; that there is more than one right way. They lay the blame on God’s light, saying that we cannot all interpret His word alike. Has God given us imperfect directions that we cannot understand alike? Is it reasonable to believe that God has failed to give us a revelation that we cannot all understand alike? Hasn’t God wasted His effort if we cannot all understand it cor-rectly? Why should He tell us how to serve Him if His directions are so confusing that we are not able to follow them?

Surely the fault is with man! Haven’t we trusted in our own wisdom and under-standing? We have accepted the interpretation of other men instead of studying for ourselves to find the truth. And, we trust in what seems right to us! We often go to the Bible to find justification for what we believe rather than to learn what to believe.Why not make a study for yourself and see if the Bible does not teach that God in-tended for us to interpret His will alike? Let’s remember what Jesus said, “in vain they worship Me, teaching as

OCAN011815

By James Morse

In 1897 a man named John Joseph came to Oklahoma from back East and before long opened a clothing store in Wil-burton. Two years later he was joined by his friend Leo Gold-berg; nevertheless, it wasn’t until 1935 when Leo’s son Sam joined John’s son Julian in the business, that it was renamed “Goldberg and Joseph.” (Sam also married Julian’s sister Syl-via, and eventually one of their daughters became the rabbi of a Reform Jewish congregation in Oklahoma City.) The store remained open until 1978, and beside it now is the “Goldberg and Joseph Heritage Park.”

In 1929 they opened a branch in McAlester for Leo to man-age, and people from Calvin were known to shop there oc-casionally until it closed about 1958.

Back in the 70s when I was working in Tucson, Arizona, I happened to meet a man who said he had moved there from Wilburton. His name was Ju-lian Joseph. “Oh,” I said, “you might even know where Calvin is.”

“I sure do,” he responded, “and I still have fond memories of my first visit there.”

As he related that experience, when he was nine and his sister eleven, during school vacation they were sent on the train to visit grandparents in McAl-ester. When their stay ended, the maid was instructed to take them to the train station and put them on the train back to Wil-burton. The maid bought the right tickets but was confused and, instead of waiting for the eastbound train, she put them aboard the westbound one.

The children themselves didn’t notice the difference, and the train was already beyond Stuart when the conductor came around to punch their tickets. “You’re on the wrong train,” he explained, “and you’ll have to get off in Calvin and wait for the eastbound train to take you to Wilburton. Don’t worry, we’ll let your folks know where you are.”

Julian himself wasn’t at all concerned. It sounded like the beginning of an adventure to him. After waiting at the Rock Island depot a short time (prob-ably until messages could be sent to McAlester and Wilbur-ton and parents and grandpar-ents contacted by the station agents in those places), they

were taken up the hill for lunch in that rambling, two-story white frame building operated as a hotel by Doc Spettle, the dentist. Later they were shown around town and treated to ice cream at one of the drugstores. (I wonder now if some of the attention wasn’t from curious people who never before had actually seen a Jewish child.)

Julian still remembered how nice everyone seemed to be. He and his sister agreed that it had been a great day. What was supposed to be a thirty-mile train ride had been stretched out until nearly a hundred, and they had made several new friends and seen new things. Julian mentioned the two big, black (in those days) tanks that held water for the steam engines.

Many years later Julian was driving through Calvin when his car broke down. Again he experienced the warmth of Calvin hospitality while his vehicle was being repaired (probably by Bill McDonald or Earl Jones).

So, it never hurts to be kind to strangers who may show up in your town. Although you may seldom have an opportunity to entertain angels unawares, you might at least favorably impress a future booster.

The Allen Mustangs roared into the Tri County basket-ball tournament Tuesday with a strong performance and a one-sided victory.

The Allen Lady Mustangs are busy this week playing in the annual Tri-County basketball tournament. The week-long event is being staged at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee.The tournament opener

was on Monday against the Wellston Lady Tigers. Last week, Allen lost one

game to the Kiowa Cowgirls … and then lost another game to the flu bug. On Tuesday, Allen slipped

away to a 13-9 lead in the first quarter. However, the Class A’s eighth-ranked Cowgirls seized control in the second quarter. Kiowa outscored the home team 17-4 to surge in front 26-17 at halftime. That one-sided second

quarter would be the pivotal period in the game.Allen was outscored 11-10

in the third quarter and 9-8 in the fourth. The result was a 46-35 victory for Kiowa.The Lady Mustangs had a

pair of double-digit scorers in the loss. Alison Sells and Charlea Leonard pumped in 11 points each for Allen.Faith Caldwell added 5

points while Hannah Heck and Kennedy Prentice scored 4 points each.On January 15th, Allen

was scheduled to travel to Hartshorne to take on the Class 3A Lady Miners. However, the trip was erased due to an outbreak of the flu bug.Allen entered this week

with a record of 11-2 on the season.
