Allen Advocate

Living in a small town, there will be false rumors, so I am providing this letter to clarify all of those rumors.

The Hughes County jail has a maximum capacity of 36 inmates. In past months we have had 50 plus inmates, along with a riot, and numer-ous fights. This overcrowd-ing problem has caused many ER visits, costing the county thousands of dollars.

One Saturday, while paint-ing at the office, one of my jailers came and said, “We have a man that was arrested for public intoxication, so can’t we release him after 6 hours?” I did not person-ally know this prisoner, and there was no bias involved. I told the jailer that was the procedure I followed at the Holdenville Police Depart-ment. It was my belief, in this situation, the County followed the same proce-dure, therefore, in six hours he was released on an OR bond, with a court date on his citation.

The following Monday, our assistant DA called me and asked, “Who let an in-mate sign on OR bond?” I told her that I did. She replied, “You do not have the authorization to release him.” She also stated that the municipal procedures and county procedures were different. I did not realize this, but I should have.

Although this truly was an innocent human error I committed, I hold myself to higher standards. Therefore, I am resigning.

This decision came after much prayer and heartache. I truly believe this is the best decision for the valued vot-ers of Hughes County.

I would like to inform the voters of Hughes County that the Sheriff’s Depart-ment has made huge strides in the past 15 months. We now have a digital finger printing machine upstairs, the jail is a much cleaner facility, grocery expenses for the past quarter were reduced $8000 by changing vendors, and we now have a wonder-ful, remodeled office for the employees. Also, by dona-tions we have purchased a drug dog to fight the battle against drugs, as promised in my campaign.

I want to thank those who have supported me as their Hughes County Sheriff, and ask that you show the next sheriff the same support.

Thank you Again,Kenny Snyder

EDITORS NOTE . . . Sny-der’s resignation was effec-tive Friday, March 28, 2014. Undersheriff Nolen Grizzle was appointed to serve until the election June 24th. Fil-ing period for the position of Sheriff will be April 9, 10, 11.

Allen residents are urged to take advantage of a two-week Spring Clean-Up. A large dumpster has been set at the local sewer plant and city residents are urged to use it to discard bulky items (mattresses, appliances, unwanted furniture, etc.) in an effort to clean their yards of debris.

Access to the dumpster will be during weekday hours, 7:30 am to 4:00 pm; and on Saturdays from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.

The Allen Mustangs roar into the Gumbo Classic base-ball tournament this week with a full head of steam.

Allen will face the Depew Hornets at 2 p.m. Thurs-day at the Henryetta High School baseball field. The winner of Allen vs. Depew will advance to a 6:00 p.m. game Thursday against the Henryetta Knights. The loser of Allen vs. Depew will slip into the losers’ bracket and will play at 10:00 a.m. Friday.

Coach Stephen Caldwell’s AHS squad is riding a 3-game winning streak. The wins im-proved the Mustangs to 10-4

this spring. The recent surge has propelled Allen to No. 12 in the Class A rankings.

“We wanted to step up and prove ourselves,” Coach Caldwell said. “I believe we did that. We lost to (No. 1 ranked Roff) and then bounced back to beat Dewar, Maud and Tupelo. I think Tupelo is a good program. For us to beat them 3-0 in a seven-inning game is a huge step for our program.”

Allen’s 4-game stretch began on March 24 with a 9-1 loss to the top-ranked Roff Tigers. Roff secured the victory in five innings. The Tigers scored 2 runs in the first inning, 4 runs in the third inning, 2 runs in the fourth inning and a final run

in the bottom of the fifth. The Mustangs went hitless

but avoided a shutout. AHS managed to score 1 run in the top of the seventh inning.

Nick Wallen was the los-ing pitcher for Allen. Wallen worked five innings and al-lowed 9 runs on 6 hits and 4 walks. He recorded 6 strike-outs in a losing cause.

Coach Caldwell was proud of Wallen’s performance on the mound.

“He pitched good enough to win,” the coach said. “But we didn’t play any defense. We made 4 errors in the game. We just did not show up defensively. We weren’t aggressive at the plate on

Allen Schools invites area residents to come and partici-pate in an endeavor to help raise awareness and support research to find a cure for Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA). FA is a progressvie neuro-muscular disorder which affects one in every 50,000 people.

On Friday, April 4th, at 1:30 p.m., Allen School students will gather at the Mustang Trail and participate in The Walk-for-Awareness to support our student, Sam Brown, who has FA. The community is invited

FARA Walk for Awareness in Support of Sam Brownto join the school and walk to-gether to show our support.

FARA, the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance was founded in 1998 by a group of families whose children were diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia. FARA also partners with the MDA, and together, they support a wide range of clinical trials and research around the world. Sam’s family whole heartedly supports FARA and its efforts to slow, stop, reverse, and cure FA. Currently, there is no effective

treatment or cure for FA, but there is hope on the horizon.

Students or families interested in making a donation to FARA in support of research may mail their contribution to The Frie-dreich’s Ataxia Research Alli-ance, located in Downingtown, Pennsylvania.

The FARA Walk-for-Aware-ness wristbands will be available for $1.00 each. Proceeds will go go FARA research. Wristbands are available in the elementary school office.

This past week I found an old 1951 newspaper that had a couple of interesting articles concerning our area. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Allen Now Free Of Bond Debt Will Celebrate Fri-day

Allen’s town government is now debt-free and is go-ing to make that fact the occasion of a celebration Friday evening.

It will be a bond-burning program by a community which is, for the first time in 41 years, entirely free of general bonded indebtedness.

The oil and refinery center issued its first bonds in 1910. Other bond issues were voted later by the commu-nity, and at no time from 1910 to now has the city been free of bonded indebtedness.

Perry Blue, treasurer for the past 18 years and who has filed, unopposed for a tenth term, announces the following program, to be held on the Main Street if weather permits, in the Allen High School auditorium otherwise, at 7:30.

Music by Allen band.Superintendent L.R. Watson—Talk on Allen

Schools.Rev. George McDow—churches and social.Ernest Hodges, vice president of the bank—Agricul-

ture and animal husbandry.Tommy Tiernan, superintendent of Sunray refinery—

Oil, gas and Industry.Perry Blue—taxes and the economic situation.The program will occupy about an hour and will con-

clude with burning of the bonds.—CC—

The other item from 1951 was about happenings in the Gerty School.

Gerty School NewsBy Earlene Glass & Louise Battershell

The juniors could not have their play Friday night because of bad weather and the electric lights going out. We were all very sorry but they reset the date for tonight. We are all hoping the weather will be fine tonight. Friday should mean a holiday for us because of a teachers’ meet-ing at Holdenville.

Songs To The Beaus:Lotrevis to C.L.—“Why don’t you love me like you

used to do?”Wanda to Charles M.—“I love you I’ll prove it in

days to come.”Earlene to Wayne—“Remember me, I’m the one who

loves you.”Loretta to Earl Charles—“A penny, a kiss, a penny,

a hug.”Kathryn to Charles—“My heart cries for you.”Edwina L. to Paul W.—“So long it’s been good to

know you.”Boys to Girls—“There’s been a change in me.”Gossip:Wanda H. has a certain sign saying “get him dead or

alive for me”. She is pertaining to Charles M. . . . Son V. has started slicking down his hair with lots of gue—could it be there’s a girl in his future? There’s been a change in Son.

GERTY JUNIOR HIGH NEWSBY Edwina Hendrix and Iva IngramWe are having a lot of absentees because of illness

and will be glad when everyone is well and back to school again.

The juniors had to postpone their play last week until last night. The eighth grade class had their class meeting last week and decided to graduate in formals, either blue or white, which is their class color.

We are all glad that Mr. Crockett is feeling better.SONG TITLES—June to Denver Rogers—“My Heart Cries for You.”Louise ro Orval—“Waiat For Me.”Ruby to Buddy—“I’ve Found Somebody New.”Edwina L. to Earl Charles—“Be My Love.”Edwina H. to Bobby—“So Long, Its Been Good to

Know You”GOSSIPWhat’s this we hear about Rudy David and June go-

ing to Parker Wednesday night with some special boys. Who were they, girls? . . . Wonder why Buddy L. goes to Non so much—we don’t think he will be going so much anymore . . .How about it Buddy? . . . Wonder why Eugene gave up Joyce all of a sudden? . . . Has Iva Ingram got her another boyfriend? We think so! . . . Why does Josephine and Shirley want to go to Atwood so much?—could it be Phillip Legg and Sonny Phillips? . . . Why does Edwina L. let Earl Charles use her compass so much? . . . Wonder why Delores gave Lonney a big valentine that said, “I Love You.” . . . Wonder why Geneva has so many pictures of boys—they couldn’t all be her’s could they? . . . Where was Edwina H., June and Theda going so fast on the tractor Sunday? They didn’t get too far, did they?

—CC— Recently a few of us were reminiscing about some of the

“fads” we enjoyed during our “growing up” days. The conservation led to other fads that we have seen or heard about in years gone by. See how many of these fads you remember . . .

Hula Hoops — Although the hula hoops are thought to have made its first appear-ance (in wooden form) in 14th century England, it didn’t take America by storm until 1958. That’s when Wham-O, Inc., the same friendly folks who brought you the Superball and the Frisbee, released a “futuristic” plastic version and promptly sold 25 million in only four months.

Jumping Beans — Ameri-cans love a good novelty item, and nobody appreciates that fact more than Mexico native Joaquin Hernandez. Since introducing the toy here in the early 1940s, Hernandez has ruled as the “King of the Jumping Beans.” A periodi-cally recurring fad for more

than 60 years, the beans are actually moth larvae trapped in seedpods. But their mystery continues to capture the public imagination. In peak years, when the beans are really hoppin’, Hernandez has been known to sell as many as 20 million of them, employing as many as 50 people to collect, package, and export them.

Ant Farms — Who knew infestation could be this much fun? Inspired by the events at an outdoor barbecue, “Uncle Milton” Levine modified a clear plastic tissue box into a prototype for ant farm. And what a prototype it was! Be-tween 1956 and 1966, he sold some 12 million of them (ants originally not included), thanks in part to creative product placement. Levine gave away fancy, mahogany ant farms to Dick Clark and other TV personalities who kept the trinkets on their on-screen desks and, thus, in the public eye.

Bermuda Shorts — Once the uniform of British soldiers stationed in (not surprisingly) Bermuda, the shorts were first appropriated by Ameri-can tourists. Then fashion magazines got involved, and Bermuda shorts became the summer office wear of the 1950s – tastefully paired with jacket and tie, of course.

Pac-Man — Birth of fad: 1980; Death of fad: 1981. That was when Atari released a home version of the popular arcade game that was so bad, it’s still frequently blamed for the video-game-business crash of 1983. Unbeliev-ably, the first perfect game of Pac-Man wasn’t played until July 1999. That honor went to a 33-year-old Florida hot-sauce manufacturer named Billy Mitchell, who played Pac-Man for six hours straight to reach the 256th screen and achieve a score of 3,333,360.

Leg Makeup — In 1941, the U.S. government banned

I, Joe E. Moore, would like to announce that I will be running for the office of Hughes County Commis-sioner District 3.

For those who do not know me, my wife of 40 years, Trilba Jane and I have lived in Hughes Coun-ty for over 40 years. We have three children and nine

grandchildren.I am currently employed

with Hughes County Dis-trict 3 and have worked there the past 11 years. I have a total of 17 years of experience with roadwork, including three years with the Oklahoma Highway Dept in Hughes county and

three years with Cherokee Paving out of Ada, Oklaho-ma. I drove semi-trucks for 20 years and was owner and operator for nine years.

I enjoy working with and for the people. If elected, I will be accountable to you, the taxpayers, at all times. I will conduct myself in a professional, honest, and respectable fashion. I will work with all other county offices and agencies to help our county prosper and make the best possible deci-sions for our county.

I will continue to work hard to maintain all roads, which is what I am current-ly in charge of. It is my goal to have all roads maintained on a regular basis. I will see that our district operates within the budget, and will do away with all wasteful spending. I will work hard to obtain grants to improve our community.

I would appreciate your support in the upcoming election and look forward to visiting with the people of Hughes county in the weeks leading up to the election.

With sincere thanks,Joe E. Moore

silk stockings. Why? After Japan cut off America’s silk supply during World War II, it became apparent that para-chute production outranked women’s fashion needs. For-tunately, however, the gals on the home front were a crafty bunch. Women resorted to D.I.Y. hosiery, rubbing liquid foundation onto their legs to simulate the color of hose, then using eyebrow pencils to draw a “seam” up the back.

Limbo — According to Roman Catholic theology, limbo is God’s eternal waiting room – a place designed for all the folks who weren’t good enough for heaven or vile enough for hell. On the Ca-ribbean Island of Trinidad it’s the name of a funeral dance representing the difficult pas-sage from life to afterlife. In the late 1950s, American tourists “borrowed” the limbo and turned it into a fixture at dinner parties, beach movies, and even in rock ‘n’ roll songs. In fact, Chubby Checker’s “Limbo Rock” was the No. 9 hit song of 1962, beating out now classics like the Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ Safari.”

Ouija Boards — Believe it or not, when Parker Brothers acquired the rights to the Ouija board and released its first ver-sion back in 1967, the games’ early sales trounced the com-pany’s traditional bestseller, Monopoly. The moral of the story? When given a choice, people will choose the undead over capitalism.

Rubik’s Cube — Average cost of a Rubik’s Cube, circa 1980: $6 to $10. Number of Cubes sold in 1980: approxi-mately 4.5 million. Number of possible color combina-tions: 43.2 quintillion. Pos-sibility that the Rubik’s Cube could actually drive a person crazy: pretty darn good. When Hungarian architecture pro-fessor Erno Rubik introduced his “magic cube” to America in 1980, some people feared the popular puzzler would quite seriously drive fans mad. And legitimately so. Way back in 1874, a game called the “Fifteens Puzzle” was blamed for inducing insanity in roughly 1,500 people. And while Rubik’s Cube addiction was apparently responsible for the break-up of at least one marriage, Man triumphed over Toy in this particular case. In fact, by 1983, the puzzler was considered so harmless, it got its own Saturday morning cartoon, “Rubik, the Amazing Cube.”

Zoot Suits — Sometimes youth rebellion requires jus the right outfit. The zoot suit, popularized by Afri-can-American and Mexican-American teens during the late 1930s and early 1940s, didn’t look like your average workday attire. It had broad shoulders, a tapered waist, and baggy pants that ended in neat, pegged cuffs. All that tailoring (and all that fabric) made the ensemble a kind of defiant luxury item – a sign that the wearer wasn’t affected by Depression-era poverty, World War II fabric rationing, or disapproving looks from Mom.

Telephone-Booth Stuffing — Simultaneously striking allow for both originality and anarchy, 25 South African stu-dents climbed into a telephone booth in 1959 and announced they’d set the world record for a non-existent event. Not to be outdone, college students across England, America and Canada immediately set to

work honing their skills in this not-so-toll-free sport. Some M.I.T. students tried to outwit the competition using physics, while others took a simpler route, starving themselves into more compact “units.” At the same time, British college kids bickered over whether official booth-stuffing rules required teams to be able to place a call, while their Canadian counterparts were accused of cheating for using plus-sized booths. Thankfully, they all seemed to reach a truce later that year, when everyone abandoned phone booths in favor of Volkswagens, the lat-est people-stuffing container of choice.

Goldfish Swallowing — Or reason No. 452 why you should never let your elders claim that kids were more ma-ture “in their day.” On March 3, 1939, Harvard freshman Lo-throp Withington, Jr., touched off a firestorm of publicity – and imitators – when he swallowed a goldfish on a $10 bet. For the next three months, students sucked down goldfish in record numbers while every authority figure from the Mas-sachusetts State Senate to the U.S. Public Health Service tried to get them to stop. The craze slowed down after many schools threatened to expel the fish eaters, but the stunt managed to remain popular enough to ensnare the next generation. The current world record, 300 fish in one sitting, was set in 1974.

Flagpole Sitting — The 20th-century award for Best Center of Gravity definitely belongs to Hollywood stunt-man Alvin Kelly. In 1924, Kelly sat atop a flagpole for 13 hours, inspiring copycats across the country to replicate his feat (to varying degrees of success). Kelly returned to the pole in 1929, just in time to set the world record (49 days) before the Great Depression put an end to such frivolity.

Drive-Ins — Looking for a way to promote his auto-parts business, Richard Hol-lingshead of Camden, New Jersey built the first drive-in theater in his driveway. All he needed was a sheet strung between two trees and a movie projector mounted to the hood of his car. Hollingshead pat-ented the idea and opened a more practical version to then public in 1933, but his inven-tion didn’t become a sensation until after World War II, when Americans had more spending money.

Eight-Track Tapes — The Big Idea: improve vehicle-based listening pleasure by creating a reliable, inexpen-sive taped-music system. The Innovator: William Powell Lear, the man who brought you the Lear jet. (“You” in this case refers to the sizable – and good-looking – bil-lionaire sector of our reader-ship.) The Thrill of Victory: Eight-track tape players first became available as optional add-ons to 1966 Ford model cars. More than 65,000 new Ford owners opted in that year alone, and the medium quickly spread from in-car to in-home use. The Agony of Defeat: Eight-track sales sped along until 1974, when they ran smack into a brick wall called cassette tapes – an even more reliable and less expensive taped-music system. The last new-release eight tracks were sold in the mid-1980s.

Maybe some of our readers can add to this list of fads . . .

—CC—

And speaking reminiscing, here is my favorite story of the week . . .

After being married for 44 years, Jerry took a careful look t this wife one day and said:

“Forty-four years ago we had a small apartment and cheap car. We slept on a sofa bed and watched a ten-inch black-and-white TV. But I got to go to bed every night with a hot 25-year-old girl.

“Now, I have a million-dol-lar home, a $45,000 car, nice big bed, and plasma-screen TV. But . . . I‘ve got to sleep every night with a 69-year-old woman.

“It seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”

Jerry’s wife is a very reason-able woman.

She told him to go out an find a hot 25-year-old girl, and she would make sure that he would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed, and watching a ten-inch black-and-white TV.

—CC—Today In History . . .At the close of World

War II, Europe lay in sham-bles. Cities and factories were shattered, business-es had disappeared, and countless people faced hun-ger. Economics sat on the verge of total collapse. The poverty and desperation that threatened the conti-nent made fertile breeding grounds for would-be dic-tators.

Americans were weary from war, but they also understood that they had to do something to help. On

April 3, 1948, President Truman signed into law a program that provided billions of dollars in aid to help Europe get back on its feet. Dubbed “the Mar-shall Plan” for Secretary of State George C. Marshall, who first announced it, the program was a massive act of compassion as well as a shrewd strategy to keep Communism at bay, support democratic governments, and build strong trading partners.

The United States of-fered the aid not just to its former allies but to its former enemies, such as Germany. It also offered to include the Soviet Union, a proposal Joseph Stalin rejected. The Soviet dicta-tor refused to allow Eastern European countries to par-ticipate. (Czechoslovakia’s Foreign minister publicly expressed interest in the plan, and a short time later he was found dead in front of his house.)

But Western European nations welcomed the of-fer. The British foreign secretary called it “a lifeline to sinking men.” Thirteen billion dollars in aid poured into Western Europe to help but machinery, modernize factories, repair railroads, and rebuild cities. With American help, Western Europe was soon on its way to a remarkable recovery.

If it was not “the most unsordid act in history”—Winston Churchill reserved

that title for the United States’ earlier Lend-Lease program—the Marshall Plan was surely an act of enormous generosity. Nev-er before had one nation done so much to help mend a war-torn world.

I have been trying for sev-eral years to clear out my clothes closet. I have three closets that are filled to ca-pacity with clothes. Every time I try to begin on it, almost every item there has memories or is something that I think I may need in the future.

Many years ago, when we were in business, we had a lot of parties and at-tended a lot of dinners. I have kept three dinner (long and formal) dresses. I have

suits that I have not worn in years but can’t seem to get rid of.

One is kept because it is one that I may need to wear to a funeral. It has a cape and is black. Exactly right if we dressed in that sort of clothes to wear to funerals these days. I have not worn it in years. I have had it for at least forty years and it still fits, so how can I get rid of it?

Years ago, Montgomery

Ward Department Store had a special sale on white blouses. They were priced at $9.95 each and so nice that I spent $100 and bought 10 of them. A great price and I could not resist buying one of each style. Some I have not worn in years.

I have summer short suits that I used to wear when I was in the kitchen for hours canning jam or jelly and they were cool to wear. I have not canned anything except a few quarts of pears in years. I have a pear tree and try to can a few jars to make cobblers for church dinners.

I have seven or eight pairs of denim slacks that I have not worn in years. I keep pushing them around in the closet. Just can’t seem to get rid of them.

A few months ago the youth director of my church announced that she was go-ing to have a garage sale to raise money to send some of our young people to sum-mer camp. I gathered up two large boxes of clothes for that sale. She then had surgery on her foot and did not have the sale. They are still boxed in my work room.

I have clothes with Semi-nole Patchwork that I take to the Seminole Nation Mu-seum in October when they have Seminole Days. The museum asks me to come, sell my book, and help in their gift shop. These clothes are kept in another closet, ready to pack and take to the show.

I have kept swim suits I have not worn in years. We used to go to the lake for picnics and I wore them then. I just went in and pulled them out of the closet for the sales bags, if they ever have that garage sale, they are gone.

Well, that is a start.

Graveside services for Donna Jean Dale, 77, of Allen were 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, April 2nd, at the Allen Cemetery, Rev. Chad Kaminski officiated.

Mrs. Dale died Satur-day, March 29, 2014 at her home. She was born Febru-ary 7, 1937 in Crane Creek Township, Mason County, Illinois to Roy and Nelda Marie Williams Justice. She attended high school in Kilbourne, Illinois.

She married Clyde Alfred Dale on July 18, 1954. He preceded her in death on January 28, 2012. Mrs. Dale worked and retired from the headstart program in Creve Coeur, Illinois. After her retirement, she and her

husband moved to Okla-homa. She was a member of the Allen First Baptist Church.

Fourtha Parthena (Moor) Legg died March 30, 2014 at the age of 96. She was born on March 18, 1918, just west of Centralia, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of Mary Elizabeth (Bruner) Moor and Benjamin Franklin Moor. She attended school in Centralia where her parents ran the café.

Parthena was baptized into Christ on June 31, 1930 in the creek that ran through the farm that would later be-come her home. Parthena married Mark Eldon Legg on September 27, 1935 in Vinita, Oklahoma. To this union three sons were born. They made their home on their farm east of Centralia, Oklahoma.

Parthena sold Avon for 14 years and worked with the Miles district election board for over 30 years. She also worked for four years at the garment factory in Baxter Springs, Kansas and four years at the Chetopa Department Store. She was a member of Future Home Demonstration Club and was in the ”Believe It or Not” column of the pa-per when she was demonstrating “how to choose a laying hen” when the hen laid an egg in her hand. She also loved crocheting, piecing and quilting quilts.

Parthena was a faithful member of the Church of Christ attending at Centralia, Oklahoma and later at Timber Hill.

Parthena was preceded in death by her beloved husband Eldon after 57 years of marriage, her parents, two sisters, three brothers, one step-son, one granddaughter, one grandson and one great grandson.

She is survived by three sons and their families. Mark and Robyn Legg of Allen, Oklahoma, Jerry and Avice Legg of Vinita, Oklahoma, and Mike and Sharon Legg of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; one step-son Carl and Mary Legg of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. She was blessed with 13 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

I know it’s not politi-cally correct and not even “nice” to notice how fat someone is anymore but I was sort of fascinated by New Jersey Gov. Christie’s story following his lap band surgery nearly a year ago. He says he has already lost 100 pounds. What I mean to say is, he still looks pretty big to me. It may be harder than it would seem to lose weight when you are running for president while under constant attack by your political foes over closing a few traffic lanes. The good Governor says he had nothing to do with that and it was some underlings

doing it on their own and without his knowledge.

Well, the story looks to me like his 100 lost pounds. I’m still not 100% con-vinced he had nothing to do with closing those lanes and I wonder about the 100 pounds. Christie is doing everything he can to clear up these matters. He just got a report in from an in-vestigative committee that he indeed did not know anything about it (lane clo-sures not the fat) and that he has fired everyone that participated in ordering the lanes closed. The lane

closures resulted in ter-rible traffic jams in an area represented by some of the politicians who wouldn’t give him political support in the last election. About that fat? I don’t know. Maybe he should step up on some public scales and invite the press. Or perhaps not.

Christie’s problems sort of leave the Republicans in a mess as they look over the field of big candidates (no pun intended) for 2016. The Democrat’s front run-ner (Hillary) may have al-ready sewed up the Demo-crat’s nomination and that is a problem for that party. As time goes by and The Affordable Health Care Act digs in, both Obama and Benghazi Hillary look a bit more tarnished. In fact, the two Bushes don’t look near so bad now as they fade into the past. In fact, a third Bush’s name (Jeb) is being floated. Some think he would make a good run but in any case his mom said she wouldn’t vote for him. But then I’m not sure the country is ready for yet another Bush.

In any event I don’t think any Democrats will be rid-ing in on Obama’s coat-tails. His negatives are at an all-time high and this time on a subject which younger Americans seem to know little or nothing about our Foreign Policy. Already striking out on “Obama Care” the Presi-dent has recently polished up his image as a Caesar at home (governing with a pen and a telephone) with executive orders and a Chamberlain image abroad. His interactions have been very ineffective and embar-rassing during the current crisis. When voters look down the road will they be

thinking of Obama’s sna-fus and Hillary’s Benghazi tragedies as they ponder “Bridge Gate”, courtesy of Governor Christie? Looks like in the end people will want a wide open election, not the crowning for can-didates. Paging Governor Huckabee?

I asked my good friend Meegan Costner, who also serves as a granddaughter, if she and I were to have a garden this year. She said yes but didn’t exactly say she would help get it ready. The weatherman has also been pretty wishy-washy this year too so it may be I will have a “late” garden this year. Anyway I hope to get out and stir up some dirt next week with or without my helper. Our first joint garden some years ago was made a lot more interesting after I found that she was like the two gardeners in the

movie “Secondhand Lion.” They planted peas, beans, and several things but it all came up corn. We had our little seed bags to serve as plant identifiers but quickly learned that naming a row to be something has nothing to do with what comes up. It’s what you actually plant that counts.

I think that spring has finally crept in. At least everyone I know hopes so. Several of my neighbors have already mowed their lawn’s weeds (dandelions and dead leaves in my case). Anyway I hope you are able to get out and enjoy this great weekend. Be sure and go to church Sunday.

“If you are not among those God has chosen to be saved, you will suffer eternal punishment for your sins.” Unfortunately, this is the official teaching of many churches. Does such teaching seem just to you? Can a just God send those He has not chosen to pun-ishment in hell without even giving them a chance to repent and be saved? John Calvin (1509-1564), taught that “God preordained…a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sins, to eternal damnation.”

If I want to be saved, is there nothing I can do? Must I simply wait for God to choose and call me and if He doesn’t, then will I suffer eternally for my sins? Does it seem just or fair that

God should choose and call some and not others?

No, God is not so unjust, but He wants all of us to be saved. Jesus died for every-one – “all the world,” not just for a few. Jesus said, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:14-17)

Jesus died for all. (2 Cor 5:14-15) Doesn’t “all” mean every person? God calls all to repentance and salvation by the preaching of the gospel message. (2 Thess 2:14; I Corinthians 1:21) Through the hearing of the Gospel message God gives us faith. (Romans 10:17) And, God wants every person to hears the gospel and be saved. (Mark 16:15-16) He does not desire that any person be lost but that all come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9; 1 Timothy 2:4)

Jerry Lee Murphey, 81, of Corpus Christi, Texas, passed away Friday, March 28, 2014. He was born De-cember 26, 1932 in Ada, Oklahoma to Arthur and Claudie Qualls Murphey.

A graduate Allen High School, he was an Eagle Scout and served as a Ser-geant in the 45th Infantry of the Oklahoma Nation-al Guard and represented Oklahoma in New Jersey where he won first place in Boxing and Diving. Jerry married his sweetheart, Thurma Jean Triplett, De-cember 26, 1952.

Jerry graduated with a degree in Geology in 1954 from Eastern Oklahoma A&M where he had played football on a scholarship.

After working the oil fields as a roughneck in North Da-kota, Texas and Oklahoma, he moved to Corpus Christi, Texas where he and many of his Allen friends and family were employed by Suntide Refinery. Jerry worked in Safety, Mainte-nance and Operations and later in Petro Chemicals. He supervised the start-up of Parazlene units in the United States and Puerto Rico and later became a consultant. As a sideline, he owned and operated West-side Refrigeration with his

brother-in-law Bob Triplett. He retired from Suntide, which was bought out by Koch Refinery and pres-ently Flint Hills Refinery, in 1992 after 38 years.

Jerry and Thurma Jean had four children. His sister, Judy, became part of his family after the death of his parents. After the deth of his first wife, Jerry met and married Ruth Penick, a widow with two sons, in October 1968.

While raising seven chil-dren, Jerry still found time for collecting antique guns and 101 Ranch memora-bilia. He organized the Corpus Christi Antique Gun Collectors Association, and the 101 Ranch Collectors Association. He was presi-dent and life time member of the Texas Gun Collectors Association (TGCA) and the 101 Old Timers Associ-ation. One of his many pas-sions was duck and goose hunting with his 10 gauge shotgun. He enjoyed many hunting trips with his boys. He was a Mason, an active member of the Cowboy Hall of Fame, and a histori-cal partner of the Gilcrease Museum.

Jerry was raised in the Allen Church of Christ and was a long time member of the Arlington Heights Church of Christ in Corpus Christi. For the last year, Jerry has resided at the Czech Nursing Home in Hillje, Texas.

He is survived by his wife, Ruth Roscher Pen-ick Murphey; a son Jerry Murphey and wife San-dy of El Campo, Texas; daughters Sheryl Bremer and husband Dan of New Braunfels, Texas, Kimberly

Hull of Rowlett, and Karen Hall and husband Jim of Campbell; step-sons Wayne Penick and wife Donna of League City, Texas, and Fred Penick of Houston, Texas; grandchildren Jacob Bremer, Brandy Mann, Lacey Scrusch, Shana Hull, Brandon Hull, and Stevie Burleson; great-grandchil-dren Clayton Mann, Kelsey Mann, Dylan Johnston, Finnley Hull, Christian Earp and Ari Quillan; and a special niece, Jennifer Hatch of Corpus Christi.

Renter Faced With Grimy, Rusty Stove

Q: I recently moved into a small apartment, and while the

stove is old, it seems to work fine. Trouble is, when I lifted the stove lid to clean it, there was about an inch of greasy grime and rust. It’s impossible to get completely clean, and I’m kind of worried about a grease fire starting. What can I do to get my stove back in shape? — Clara in Tampa, Fla.

A: Talk to your apartment man-ager or landlord. While tenants

are expected to keep the apartment’s appliances clean, it’s neither fair nor safe to deal with a stove that is unrea-sonably dirty.

The manager may counter that you accepted the apartment with the appli-ances listed in good working condi-tion, but I know very few people who have the time or wherewithal to pry open the stove hood and check the burners underneath during a tour or a final walk-through.

Review your apartment lease. In managed communities these usually comply with what’s required by state and municipal tenant/landlord laws, and it gives you an idea of how much the management is willing to do in this case.

At the very least, insist that the manager help you clean the stove. That doesn’t mean buying you a can of oven cleaner; it means sending a maintenance person to assess the situ-ation and find a safe way to clean it, or scheduling a contractor to clean and maintain the appliance.

If the stove is too difficult to clean, if it’s rusting through or otherwise not

in safe condition, most leases allow the management to replace it with an acceptable appliance. If the man-ager agrees to do this, get that pledge in writing along with an approxi-mate date that the appliance will be replaced.

What if the manager or landlord refuses to do any of these things? Look up your state’s statute by typ-ing tenant/landlord law and the name of your state in a search engine box. The landlord may or may not be required to maintain or replace cer-tain appliances.

That said, you can accomplish a heck of a lot just by being polite and working with the manager or landlord to find a solution. It’s hard to react negatively to a tenant asking, “Hey, I want to keep my apartment clean and I need some help getting the stove up to snuff, can you help?” Although there are some nightmare landlords out there, most like keeping the value of their properties up and appreciate tenants helping to keep them there.

Prescription Drugs by Mail From the VA

You can get your prescription drugs from the Department of Veterans Affairs by mail. That’s good ... and bad.

The good news: A recent study by J.D. Powers gives the VA outpatient pharmacy the highest score for cus-tomer satisfaction. The VA scored 871 out of 1,000 points for pricing, order process and customer service. The VA also made the top scores in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Clearly, getting your medications from the VA’s mail-order services can be a positive experience.

But not always.The bad news: Your order isn’t as

secure as stepping down the street to your local pharmacy or picking up your drugs right at the VA.

A UPS driver in Maine is going to jail for taking oxycodone drugs sent from the VA’s mail order program.

A fast search of Google found far too many cases of veterans’ mailed drugs being stolen around the coun-try. In one case, a postal worker was both stealing and selling the drugs on the mail route. In Chattanooga, Tenn., a postal worker who also is a veteran on medication said his drugs, sent monthly, had been disappearing right out of the post office where he works. In Indianapolis, a postal work-er was nabbed for taking drugs out of 17 packages in the VA mail-order program. In another case, a 24-year employee of the post office stole more than 2,000 pills destined for veterans.

The Maine UPS driver was caught, literally, blue-handed. Authorities had put a blue dye pack in the pack-age, which exploded in his face when he opened it. He was taking the drugs when agents came through the door.

If you get your medications by mail, you can now track them. Go online to MyHealtheVet web portal.

The Allen Lady Mustang softball team will be looking to improve on the current 2-7 record. However, the impressive list of opponents on the 2014 spring schedule makes the proposition quite a challenge.

Coach Jeremy Strong will lead his Lady Mustangs back in action on Monday, April 7. The AHS squad will travel east to Hughes County to play the green-clad Stuart Lady Hornets.

This will be the next opportunity to record win No. 3. Allen had lost twice to Stratford and Asher. The other three defeats came at the hands of Mill Creek, Wayne and Stonewall. Meanwhile, Allen’s two wins came at the expense of Bray Doyle and Vanoss.

The key to winning in future games is obvious. The Lady Mustangs need to ignited the offense and generate more runs. They scored 14 runs in the win over Bray Doyle and 11 runs in the victory over Vanoss. That’s a total of 25 runs in two games. However, Allen has scored a combined 3 runs in the seven losses. They were shut out five times, scored 2 runs once and scored 1 run the other time.

It’s all about offense in the spring. That is the clear lesson heading into the Allen portion of the campaign.

On March 24, Allen suffered a 9-0 loss at Stonewall. The Lady Longhorns put the game away in five innings. They broke open a scoreless battle with 2 runs in the fourth inning. Stonewall followed up with a 7-run outburst in the bottom of the fifth frame to finish off Allen 8-0.

Stonewall piled up 8 hits on the way to the win. Allen was limited to 3 hits – and also suffered 3 errors en route to the loss.

Allen was led at the plate by Jessi Merriman with a 1-for-2 effort that included a double. Faith Caldwell and Savanna Brown were also 1-2 in the game, both stroking singles for their individual hits.

“We played them well,” said Coach Strong. “But we didn’t hit the ball as well as we could have. We also had a 3-error inning in the fifth and that kind of blew up on us.”

On March 25, Allen followed up with another road trip and another shutout loss. The Lady Mustangs fell 8-0 to the Stratford Lady Bulldogs.

Stratford scored once in each of the first three innings. The Lady Bulldogs then plated five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to secure the 8-0 victory.

Allen was out-hit 11 to 5 in the contest. Ashley Cross provided the team’s only 2-hit performance with a pair of singles. Chelsea Wedlow (1-2), Nora Thompson (1-2) and Jessi Merriman (1-3) each

singled once to provide the other three AHS hits.

“It was a lot like the Stonewall game,” said Coach Strong. “I thought we played them until we got to the fifth inning. It was a 3-0 game at that point. But then we walked a batter and they (Lady Bulldogs) had four hits in a row. They had back to back triples during that inning. It just got away from us in the fifth inning.”

On March 31, the Lady Mustangs hosted the high-powered Asher Lady Indians in a softball contest at Allen.

Coach Strong watched his girls bang out seven hits and score a pair of runs. However, it was not enough to take down Asher.

The Lady Indians scored at least once in all six innings on the way to a 10-2 triumph. Asher plated

2 runs in the first inning, 1 run in the second inning, 2 runs in the third inning, 2 runs in the fourth, 1 run in the fifth inning, and 2 more runs in the sixth.

Allen managed a pair of runs in the third inning.

The hit total showed Asher piling up 15 to 7 by the Lady Mustangs.

Savanna Brown was the top Allen batter with a 2-for-3 showing on a pair of singles. Sandra Rowsey was 1-for-1 with a single. Kellyn Black was 1-for-2 with a single.

Taryn Wofford made the most of a 1-for-3 performance. She smashed a run-scoring double. She later came around and scored the second and final run.

Meagan Beavert was 1-for-3 with a double and 1 RBI.

Jessi Merriman rounded out the attack with a 1-for-3

showing. She also scored Allen’s other run.

Coach Strong love to win. However, he also realizes the level of competition his team is facing on a regular basis.

“We are continuing to improve,” he said. “Our defense played pretty well today (Monday) against Asher especially considering how the wind was blowing so hard. Our outfield played good defense in this weather. I believe Jessi Merriman had an all-around good game in the outfield. She recorded 5 putouts in the game.”

offense, either. We had 7 strikeouts looking. You

can’t do that against a great team like Roff.”

Allen bounced back on

March 25 with a resounding 13-1 victory over the visit-ing Dewar Dragons. The contest was the opposite of the Roff game, with the Mustangs being the domi-nant team.

AHS took control with 4 runs in the bottom of the first inning. The advantage increased to 5-0 after two innings and 6-0 after three innings. Dewar finally broke up the shutout with 1 run in the top of the fourth inning. The effort closed the gap to 6-1. However, the Mustangs erupted for 8 runs in the bot-tom of the fourth to seal the 13-1 triumph. When Dewar failed to score in the top of the fifth inning, the game ended on the run rule.

Allen finished with 10 hits against the Dragons. Tommy Peay lead the at-tack with a perfect 3-for-3 showing that included a pair of triples.

Jake Linker and Justin Deaton also enjoyed multi-ple-hit performances. Link-er and Deaton were both 2-for-3 at the plate.

Three others added sin-gles to the attack, including Dakota Nickell (1-2), Little Sky Frazier (1-2) and Ty Brown (1-3).

Tommy Peay pitched 5 innings to earn the mound victory. Peay limited De-war to 1 run on 1 hit and 2 walks. The sophomore standout mowed down 13 batters on strikeouts.

“It was a good rebound win from the Roff game,” said Coach Caldwell. “Our bats came alive. We hit the ball real well and didn’t leave people on base. Tom-my also threw a great game. He got us off on the right foot. His (pitch) location has been a lot better this year. He’s hitting his spots. When he does that he is hard to deal with.”

On March 28, Allen went out and basically duplicated their previous performance. The Mustangs whitewashed the Maud 13-0 in four in-nings.

AHS plated 4 runs in the first inning and 9 more runs in the bottom of the third. The Mustangs did not need

their at-bats in the bottom of the fourth frame.

Allen freshman Ty Brown blanked the Tigers during his 4-inning mound duty. He allowed 1 hit and is-sued 5 walks in recording the victory. Brown notched 7 strikeouts – leaving his defensive unit to make only 5 plays over the course of the game.

Offensively, AHS col-lected hits from 7 different batters. Tommy Peay and Josiah Jones fueled the attack with similar 3-hit performances. Peay was 3-for-3 with a triple. Jones was also 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles.

“We just got Josiah cleared to play,” said Coach Caldwell. “He is a great ad-dition to our team. He is a utility player who can help us in several positions. He will also help us with the bat. I am glad to have him playing with us.”

Three other Allen play-ers produced multiple-hit games against Maud. Nick Wallen and Dakota Nick-ell were both 2-3 with a triple each. Ty Brown was also 2-for-3 with a pair of singles.

Russ Black (1-3) and Jus-tin Deaton (1-3) rounded out the hit parade with a single each.

“We played wel l in all phases,” said Coach Caldwell. “That was good defense, good pitching and we hit the ball well. It was well-rounded and that is exactly what we are looking to do.”

On Monday, Allen host-ed the Tupelo Tigers in a showdown of two talented teams. The Mustangs were delighted to carve out a 3-0 win over Tupelo.

Tommy Peay served up a 1-hit shutout in a 7-inning outing. The sophomore pitcher walked 5 and hit 1 batter while also recording 9 strikeouts.

Allen was limited to 3 runs and 5 hits. The Mus-tangs plated all 3 runs in the bottom of the second inning. Peay then made those tallies stand up in the

3-0 contest.Nick Wallen was 1-for-3

and had the only extra-bases hit with a double. Four oth-er AHS players produced 1 single each, including Shawn Rolen, Rush Black, Thirkel Wedlow and Josiah Jones.

“We’re hoping to build on this big win,” said Coach Caldwell. “We’ll find out next Thursday where we’ll be in the (playoff) pairings. I believe we’ll get to host a district, but we’ll have to wait and see. We just need to keep playing hard and getting better.”

Lady Mustangs track team ‘small, talented’ Coach Greg Mills has 3 girls on the roster for the spring season


Allen High School’s Lady Mustang track and field team can be described in two words - small and talented.

Coach Greg Mills has only three girls on his track team roster. The trio included senior Rio Jones, sophomore Taryn Wofford and freshman Tisha Roberts.

“We have just the three girls now and that will probably be it for our track team,” the coach said. “But it is Spring and you never know what to expect. We might pick up one or two others.”

Coaching track has been a roller-roaster for Coach Mills.“We had 25 girls on the team three years ago,” he said. “We

have three right now.”The good news is that the Lady Mustangs on the squad are

very talented in their individual events. Each one will have a chance to collect some medals during the track season - and maybe even qualify for the state track meet.

“I think we’ll have our chances,” the coach said. “Taryn missed it (state qualification) by four inches. She will be look-ing to go to state this time. Rio Jones qualified once before in the hurdles. I think she can get back this year.”

Coach Mills is also impressed with his freshman distance runner, Tisha Roberts. She is young but also has shown him some serious talent.

“It should be an interesting season,” Coach Mills said. “I want to see them get in condition and see what they can do. I was very surprised, in a good way, with how they performed at our first track meet.”

On March 13th, Roberts had the most successful trip to the Maysville track meet. The freshman won the gold medal in the 800 meter run. She also earned a bronze medal for third place in the mile run.

Taryn Wofford came away with a fourth place finish in two events. The sophomore took fourth in the shot put and also was fourth in the discus.

Rio Jones competed in one event at Maysville. The senior earned fourth place in the 100 hurdles.

“I am proud of all of them,” Coach Briggs said. “I didn’t know what to expect because we had not had any time to pre-pare for that first one.”

Allen was set to attend two more track meets this week. AHS was due to visit the Konawa meet on March 25th and then close out the week with a Friday visit to the Henryetta meet.

The girls will compete in the same events as they did at Maysville. However, they will also add a couple more events at upcoming meets. The goal will be to get in track shape and then extend their performances.

“Rio Jones will add the 300 hurdles,” the coach said. “Tisha Roberts will add the 2-mile run to her 800 and 1-mile. Taryn Wofford will probably just do the shot and the discus. We’ll add them soon, maybe at the Henryetta meet on Friday.”

The Lady Mustangs will not attend another track meet until April 18th. They will be scheduled to travel to Checotah on that date.

For now, the coach will continue to work with his girls as they prepare for future meets. However, he said the practices are not always as scheduled at this time of year.

“The thing is that this is the Spring,” he said. “The kids do a lot of different things in the Spring. It is not just being on the track team. I may have them one day and then the next day they’ll be playing golf or going to an FFA event or something else. I barely get to see the kids during the Spring. You just do it.

Coach Kenny Deaton eager to get his Allen track squad

in high gear


Coach Kenny Deaton has a simple approach to his Allen Mustang track and field program.

“I want to get them stronger and faster,” he said. “I want them to improve their conditioning and their strength. I want to be sure those runners improve their speed and stamina. We don’t have many out for track so this is more about what they can do as individuals.”

Allen will have, at least for now, six athletes on the track and field squad. Justin Deaton is a junior and the ‘old man’ of the roster. He will be joined by sophomores Dalton James, Colton Browning and Gunner Holder and freshmen Jeff Deaton and Colby Eaker.“We might get more out this spring,” said Coach Deaton. “But we will be working with just these six until we add to our total.Justin Deaton will compete in two events. The junior is expected to run the 200 meter dash and the 400 meter run.Sophomore Dalton James has been slowed with a ‘turf toe’

since football season. He is expected to be cleared to run track within the next couple of weeks. Once the doctors give James the green light he’ll get busy preparing to run the 100 and 200 meter springs … and might possibly also compete in the 400.Colton Browning is another outstanding sprinter at Allen High School. The sophomore will compete in the 100, 200 and 400. “The 400 is probably Dalton’s best event,” said Coach Deaton. “He might have a chance to compete for a trip to state. He should be in the mix for state this spring.”

Sophomore Gunner Holder is another of the AHS track team members. Coach Deaton will test him in the sprint races – 100 and 200 – but might adjust his event list later in the spring.“I have not yet seen him run,” the coach said. “If it turns out he is not a sprinter, I’ll move him to the 400 and 800 and see how he does in those distances.”Freshman Jeff Deaton is expected to have a solid spring in the discus. The trick will be to make the transition from his perfect eighth grade performance to competing with the big boys.“He was 3-0 in winning the discus last year in the eighth grade,” says his coach/father. “He went to Konawa, Maysville and Wetumka and won the gold medal at all three meets. Of course that was with the smaller discus they throw in junior high. He’s throwing a larger one this spring and will have to work on increasing his distance. He is throwing 90 feet now. If he can get up another 10 or 12 feet he can go to state in that event. That’s what we are working on now.”The freshman is no midget. He stands 6-1 and 170. The plan is for him to improve his technique – which will increase the distance.“I don’t know a lot about throwing the discus,” said his father. “We are learning as we go. We go on You.Tube and watch the (discus) videos. We are trying to pick up ideas and tips to improve his technique. He enjoys this event and I think he’ll have a chance to get to state. Of course he has a lot of work to do and we’ll see how that works our this spring.”The youngest Deaton will not be a one-trick Mustang. He’s also going to be counted upon to run in the 200 and 400 races.“We want him to improve his speed too,” said Coach Deaton. “That’s the plan for all of them.”The other freshman on the team is Colby Eaker. He moved into the community after attending school at Ada. Eaker will run the 200 and 400 … and might also compete in another event.“He thinks he’s a long jumper,” the coach said. “He came over from Ada where he played baseball. I know little about him … but will give him a chance to try the long jump. There’s not a lot to figure out on that one. I’ll tell him to run real fast and then jump real far. We’ll be fine if he can follow those instructions.”Coach Deaton plans to test his athletes twice this week. He was scheduled to take them to Konawa on Tuesday and then over to Henryetta on Friday.“We’ll have those two meets and then we’ll not have another one until April 18 when we got to Checotah,” he said. “We’ll get them started and see where we need to go from here.”

When it comes to digging safely, you make the call. Whether you’re working on a large excavation or simply planting a tree in your yard, natural gas and utility line safety should always be job one – and that starts with calling 811 to have your utility lines marked. By doing so, you can be certain where your electric, gas, water and other important lines are located as well as avoid causing serious injuries, service interruptions or possibly costly fi nes for damaged infrastructure. Make the call. It’s easy, and free. Respect the lines. Dig with care. After all, safety is in your hands… but always on our mind.

Sunday was a busy day. Following the Sunday School session we opened the service with congre-gational singing. We rec-ognized two of our mem-bers with the Distinguished Service Award. This award is given by the Missionary Society to those that do outstanding work in the church. This year’s recipi-ents were Donna and Glenn Boyd. Their daughters Stephanie and her family and Susan and her family surprised them by attending church. Donna and Glenn both are great supporters of the church family.

Our special for the day “Because He Loved Me,” was sung by our quartet. As usual, Truby, Gary, Matt, Brenda, and Joe were great.

Sunday night we had a

good crowd for our Fifth Sunday Singing. All the churches brought groups that sang and we enjoyed the food and fellowship following.

Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from Acts 2:37-41 and entitled “Be Baptized, Every One of You.” Bap-tism is a confession that life has changed. Sins have been confessed and have been forsaken. Holiness is now our determination. We once lived for self but now live for God.

Baptism is a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. This was not something accomplished by our own action or goodness. There was nothing we could do to save ourselves. All we could do was admit our guilt and cry out for help.

This changed life is only possible through Jesus. Submitting to baptism is symbolic of submission to Jesus. From this moment on I want the world to know that I belong to Him.

Baptism acknowledges that we are the possession of God. We are no longer our own. We have been accepted, adopted into the family of God. We are bought by the blood of Christ. As long as we live, we live for Him. We will follow Him and bring oth-ers to Him.

Remember our annual garage and bake sale will be Saturday, April 5th from 8-2. This money will be used for our youth activities this summer.

The Lord’s Day at Har-mony of Gerty began with singing Just A Rose Will Do, Count Your Blessing, and What A Friend.

Devotional reading “Trea-sure your Friends” Proverbs 27:5-6,9-10,17.

Adult lesson was “Strength in Numbers” Ecclesiastes 4:1-4,7-12.

Life’s problems are made more difficult when you try to endure them alone. De-velop godly relationships to

weather the storms of life. “If one prevail against him, two shall withstand him, and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesias-tes 4:12.

Youth lesson “Jesus Talks With Nicodemus” John 3: 1-12. Sharing the good news at the right time and place.

“Ten Thousand Years and What Will I Leave Behind?” were sung before the morn-ing message.

Brother David’s message was taken from Exodus 12:1-14 “The Passover”.

Praise! Praise! Sister Billie was in service. She has missed for six months. We are thankful she is doing better and continues in good health. She thanked Har-mony for the prayers and weekly church tapes. She turned her birthday offering in , turning 77 this week.

We are still praying for Brother Marsh. December 1st was his last Sunday at-tending service. He had a fall December 8th and broke three ribs and had a hospital stay. Two weeks ago he had a nine day hospital stay with an infection and fall. He turned 97 in February. Seems the Lord still wants him here. We are praying he gets strong enough to go back to his retirement room.

We are praying for rain and thankful to see the grass turning green. We can’t wait to see the trees get dressed.

We pray you have a good week and May God Bless You!

Halloween Day 1941 was the worst day of my life. Of course, I had no idea

the day would turn out that way when, as usual, I got up at five o’clock to deliver

newspapers. It seemed like any other late October morning—not cold enough yet to

go into winter long underwear but uncomfortably cool when coasting downhill on a

bicycle................The first inkling I had that something was going to be different about that

day came as I was getting on my bicycle. Chig Brown, an old friend of my father’s,

drove up in the darkness and called out, “Don’t go anywhere yet, Jimmy. George is

coming to see you.”

Notice is hereby given that a hear-ing will be held on June 19, 2014, at 1:30 p.m. at the Pontotoc County Courthouse, Ada, Oklahoma, before the Judge of the District Court. At the hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Petition for Summary Administration and the final account and petition for determination of heirs, legatees and devisees and distribu-tion of the estate by the Petitioner. The final account and petition for determination of heirs, legatees and devisees and distribution will be filed herein on or before May 30, 2014.

You are hereby advised that you must file objections to the Petition for Summary Administration and the final account and petition for determina-tion of heirs, legatees and devisees and distribution at least ten (10) days before the hearing and send a copy to the Petitioner’s attorney, James R. Neal, P.O. Box 1605, Ada, Oklahoma 74821-1605, or you will be deemed to have waived any objections. If you have no objections, you need not appear at the hearing nor make any filings with the Court.

If an objection is filed at least ten (10) days before the hearing, the Court will determine at the hearing whether the will attached to the peti-tion shall be admitted to probate, whether summary proceedings are appropriate and, if so, whether the estate will be distributed and to whom the estate will be distributed.
