“Let’s play dress-up” is a phrase many of us “old timers” are familiar with. Maybe it’s time all ages started playing that game again.

Ed Dwyer writes about a scourge called TMI (too much informality) that is afflicting us. Dwyer writes . . .

As far as I’m concerned, the casual ethic has gone too far when it is acceptable to attend milestone events and special occasions dressed as if you were headed to Whole Foods afterwards.

Have you seen it? Sweaters and pullovers at church weddings, flip-

flops and “fitness fashion” at funerals; hoodies and silk-screened T-shirts at Easter Sunday mass; skimpy halter tops and Hawaiian shirts at four-star restaurants. Or any combination of these and other clueless behav-iors. You have to ask yourself: What are they thinking? Don’t they know better? Clearly, these folks have lost all sense of the appropriate, if they ever had it.

Then there are the hats. A veritable blight of hats, atop what I must assume are bald or balding heads, bobbing about in restaurants and even houses of wor-ship. Wasn’t “Take off your hat indoors” one of the first things your parents taught you about public behavior? (Maybe not. Here’s the deal: If you’re not at a sports or cowboy bar, or some hipster jazz joint where fedoras are welcome, ditch the chapeau.)

And don’t get me started on people who stare into their smartphones while a casket is being lowered into the ground. But that’s another story.

Believe me, it’s a much better world because of ca-sual. I don’t bemoan the era when travelers dressed up to board an airplane. That would be madness today when you are herded into a narrow seat with no legroom and tossed a bag of mixed nuts.

And thank goodness gentlemen no longer wear jack-ets and ties to a baseball game – unless they work for a sports network. Frankly, the fans in the old newsreels don’t look like they’re having so much fun in that sum-mer heat.

No, I’m talking self-absorbed, lacking respect for others and the occasion. And there are ripple effects. Screeching customers was listed as one of the 11 worst dining trends of 2014 by the New York Post. Explained writer Steve Cuozzo, “The plague gets worse every year, which is no surprise: The complete abandonment of dress codes yields a corresponding collapse of de-corum.”

Economic effects, too. A friend of mine recently told me that her dry cleaner’s had to shutter one of their two establishments. Seems not so many people are bothering to get their clothes laundered and pressed these days.

Let me be perfectly clear, this has nothing to do with class. It is a matter of simple decisions: Do I wear a shirt with buttons or a T-shirt? Do I wear shoes or flip-flops? It has everything to do with the other meaning of class.

Nor is it about American individualism and the per-ceived right to be a jackass. You can’t convince me that the Founding Fathers would wear their tri-corner hats backwards at midnight mass.

Who can we blame for this dumbing down? Pick a target: the hippies, Casual Fridays, bad parenting, Hol-lywood, hip-hop, Ayn Rand, Levi Strauss . . . The list goes on (though my money is on bad parenting).

What to do? Frankly, there’s not a whole lot that can be done, aside from closing one’s eyes and praying for the future of civilization. It’s for sure I’m not about to confront some benighted knucklehead who hasn’t bothered to wear a jacket or tie to a wedding. You never can tell these days: It could be the minister.

continued with updates on construction projects. Structural damage from the spring storms, which includes roof damage to the elementary annex and high school gym, contin-ues underway; remodeling to the cafeteria/band room is almost completed.

High school principal Michael James informed those present that the cur-rent enrollment in grades 7 thru 12 stands at 214 students. Freshmen stu-dents recently attended a job search/career day at East Central University where they were given the chance to learn from professionals in a variety of careers. Plans for and work on the upcoming Fall Carnival continues. This

year’s event will benefit all classes in junior thru senior high and classes are working together to make the event a success.

Elementary dean of students Greg Mills an-nounced enrollment has increased to 287 in grades Pre-K thru 6th. He contin-ued by telling the board the recent parent/teacher conferences had an 88% attendance rate; the 4th graders attended a wildlife expo at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie; approximately 120 students in grades 1st, 2nd and 3rd attended plays at the McSwain Theater; and the Pre-K class had enjoyed a field trip to the Cornerstone Pumpkin Patch. The Chickasaw Dance Troop performed

for the JOM students and the Chickasaw Nation Eagle Adventure classes are continuing for grades 1, 2 and 3.

In action items, the board approved a student assem-bly for grades 7th thru 12th on drug-abuse, to be pre-sented by the Chickasaw Nation.

Mrs. Anderson present-ed a travel request and information on an upcom-ing out-of-state Cluster Meeting for FCCLA of-ficers. The meeting will be held in Dallas, Texas on November 20-22. Eight young ladies are eligible to make the trip by paying

their own expenses, and will be accompanied by two sponsors.

The Chickasaw Nation has offered an educational grant to all area schools and the board gave their approval to accept the amount designated for Al-len.

Also discussed and ap-proved was making a re-quest of the Allen City Council to permanently close two sections of city roads within the school campus. Both sections are currently closed during school hours but formal closing would allow for

covered walkways and future buildings.

The resolution calling for the annual school elec-tion was approved. This legal notice informs the public of the candidate filing period.

Following executive ses-sion the board approved mentor teachers for the entry level teachers, ac-cepted the addition of an on-call substitute teacher, and possible purchase of real property.

Board members in at-tendance were Jeff Maloy, Cindy Davis and Chad Goodson.

Threads of Life••• History •••by Cleo LeVally

CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK

I was cleaning out some files and found a stack of old newspaper clippings. They were cartoons of Jim Lange that I had cut from newspapers of that time. The dates on those new clippings were from the late 1900’s, like up to 1994, etc. So when I saw the dates on those news clippings, my thought was that it is time to trash them. I began to read some

of the items, and they are history and I must find a place to put them so they can still be preserved. They are of the years of the Nixon Administration when newspapers every day were filled with news stories and letters to the editor about the Nixon-Lewinsky affair.

I also found in that stack of news clippings page

after page of items about that affair. The public seemed to be quite taken with it. For days every letter to the editor was on that subject. The coverage on this phase of history was unbelievable. This news coverage went on for weeks.

The clippings I found were mostly the cartoons of Jim Lange. His cartoons

ran on the editorial page of the Daily Oklahoman. There were 204 of his cartoons that ran in that paper. I don’t now when or why I began to clip them. It may be because the cartoons were about what ever was in the news at the time and all of his cartoons seemed to be about the news of that

day. To me, it was always interesting to see his take on the news and I began to clip the ones that I was in agreement with. He seemed to see a cartoon in everyday news.

So I will find a place in my files to keep the clip-pings. They may be of interest to someone else in the future. They all seemed to touch on the news and politics of those years.

Graveside services for Oscar Sherrall Black, 69, of Allen were 10:00 a.m. Monday, October 12th, at the Atwood Cemetery, Rev. Gerald Smith officiated.

Mr. Black died Thursday, October 8, 2015. He was born November 15, 1945 in Ragtown, Oklahoma in Hughes County to Miles and Evie Robinson Black. He attended grade school in Holdenville and graduated from Holdenville High School in 1964.

He married Martha Hayes July 13, 1968. Mr. Black was a carpenter until his retirement.

Survivors include his wife, Martha Black, of the home; a son, Bradley Black and his wife Angela of Allen; a daughter, Sheryl Bonewit and her husband Bryan of Holdenville; his grandchildren, Tessa and Kellyn Black, Hunter Boyd, all of Allen and Jasmine Bonewit of Holdenville; four sisters, Dorothy Jones, Jane Keeney and Shirley Arthur, all of Holdenville and Joan Jumet and her husband Dave of Missouri.

Every year for the past 100 years or so The Uni-versity of Oklahoma and it’s foe, University of Tex-as, get together and play a football game. From the start it has been a “big deal.” A fun ballgame and a great party atmosphere. It was in 1949 that I decid-ed to go with some of my buddies over at Stonewall and take in this game. Joe Morgan Jr. provided his 1937 12-cylinder Lincoln if we would buy the gas. Not as good a deal as we first thought. But none of us were old enough for a license.

We arrived in Big D on Friday afternoon about dark and set up head-quarters on Commerce Street near the Adolphus Hotel. Of course we had no money for hotels but instead just roamed up and down the street. We weren’t too sure what we were looking for but were

sure we would know it if we saw it. Along about midnight the endless pa-rade of fans up and down Commerce hit a peak and seemed like the whole world must have been down there on that street or else above it hanging out of windows tossing stuff to the ground.

One of the items that landed on the sidewalk near us was a television set out of the Adolphus Hotel. By now the crowds of Sooners and Horns had gotten too big and loud and the Dallas police were loading up celebrants as fast as they could and hauling them off to jail. Before the night was over they had over 1,000 fans locked up.

We had lodging at Lefty Wilson’s relative’s house and finally crashed there. The next morning we

headed for the Texas State Fair. In itself, the fair was quite a sight for a bunch of 14 year olds from Stone-wall and we did our best to take it in but soon found ourselves looking for tick-ets. Much to our surprise the ballgame was sold out and the ticket offices were closed. We immediately made the decision to slip in. How hard could it be? Not very. We saw some other boys crawling un-der the chain-link fence at the south end zone and that’s what we did. Except me. While holding up the fence as my companions crawled under a large per-son grabbed me by my belt and dragged me away. It was the biggest-blackest-cop I had ever seen. While my buddies ran away into the stadium, I was half dragged to a little police station.

The cop told me to sit down and wait but I didn’t. He wandered off and so did I. I hid, like the cow-ering criminal I was in the Fairground’s big buildings and later watched it on TV. OU did win the thing 20-14. Later I searched anxiously for my bud-dies (and my ride home) and finally found them on the midway. I was a little surprised to learn they weren’t looking for me. We didn’t have a lot of money and by now Joe Jr. was explaining that us buying the gas also implied per-diem. We bought him a hamburger before we saw the “See The Morphodite” sign. Being young men of sci-ence we had to see this and we did. It cost a quarter--an item we were low on.

We did the rest of the fair and later that night we drove back to Stonewall in the old Lincoln. There was talk of the size of the black cop, the price of hamburg-ers and who won the great

football game. But mostly the talk centered on the na-ked morphodite that cost a quarter. Maybe we should have just sent one person in there and he could have told the rest of us about it. But over all we returned to Stonewall that pretty

fall weekend fairly smug about ourselves. I mean, how many 14 year olds in Stonewall even knew what a morphodite was, much less seen one live and naked?

Be sure and go to church Sunday. We did.

Do you want to hear the truth from God? How do you react when you hear truth from God? God sent His prophet to King Asa to rebuke him for his sin, but King Asa became angry with the prophet and put him in prison. (2 Chron. 16:10) When Stephen preached to the Jewish council, they shouted loudly, stopped their ears, cast him out of the city and stoned him to death. (Acts 7:57-60) The Apostle Paul asked the Galatians, “Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?” (Gal 4:16)

Why would anyone be-come angry when they are told the truth from God? Will it help us to become angry at God or His messenger? Will our anger nullify the truth? Of course not! Rebelling against God is sort of like banging your head against a pillar of concrete – it doesn’t hurt the concrete, but it might shorten your life!

Will becoming upset or angry at God’s messenger disprove the truth? Don’t we need God’s correction and guidance? It is a fatal mistake to fail to recog-nize our need for God’s guidance and instruction. Surely, there is nothing

more important for us! “The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.” (Proverbs 12:15) And, it is advice from God – not man – that we need above all! But it seems many people never read the Bi-ble and do not have time to attend Bible classes.

Perhaps we just do not want God’s correction and instruction! Are we so foolish that we think we have all the answers and feel insulted if someone tried to instruct us from God’s word? Or, maybe we are simply determined to do as we desire, regard-less of the truth from God! “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction. For whom the Lord loves He corrects.” (Proverbs 3:11-12)

By HERMAN BROWN

Allen correspondentThe Allen Mustangs

will visit Maud on Thurs-day evening for a district football game on the Ti-gers’ home field.

Maud is 2-4 on the season and 1-4 in the

Mustangs hope to tame Tiger Thursday

district campaign. The Tigers won two of their first three games - beat-ing Bowlegs 45-0 and Macomb 42-20. The Ti-ger losses have come against Waurika (30-22), at Maysville (50-18) and at home against Geary (60-28).

Maud is on a 3-game losing skid heading into Thursday evening’s game.

Allen is 4-2 overall and 3-2 in the district. Last Friday, the Mustangs suffered a 46-26 loss at home against the visiting Waurika Eagles.

Coach Steven Caldwell was disappointed in the loss to the Eagles. He pointed to injuries and mistakes as issues that hurt his Mustangs.

“We are banged up right now,” he said. “It was a very physical game. We jumped out early to a 14-zip lead and were driving to score again and fum-bled in the red zone. We fumbled twice in the red zone (inside Waurika’s 20-yard line). You can’t beat good teams by doing that. We have to get better at finishing drives.”

The game with Waurika opened in a very posi-tive way for Allen. The Mustangs punched in a pair of Colten Browning touchdown runs to lead 12-0.

Waurika took advan-tage of the lost Mustang fumble deep in Eagle territory. The visitors rallued with a 65-yard touchdown pass and a 2-yard rushing TD to slip in front 14-12.

Allen responded with a Christian Henry 30-yard scoring pass from Colton Frederick and a conver-sion run to move back in the lead at 20-14.

The Eagles came off the deck again with consecu-tive TDs to retake the lead. Waurika’s first tally came on a 10-yard pass. The conversion followed to put the visitors in front 22-20.

Allen was looking for an answer in the form of another touchdown. However, a Mustang pass was intercepted and returned for a score to extend the Eagles’ advan-tage to 30-20.

Allen scrambled back with a crucial touchdown to close the deficit to only four points. Brown-ing rambled 6 yard into

the end zone to close the Mustangs to within reaching distance at 30-26.

Waurika caught another big break a bit later in the game. The Eagles intercepted another Al-len pass and scored their second defensive TD of the game. The conversion run was also good and the visitors were sitting on a 38-26 cushion.

Allen’s offense was now out of bullets. The visiting Eagles had one shot left and scored an-other rushing touchdown. They also tacked on the conversion to secure the 46-26 victory over AHS.

The Mustangs finished the night with 16 first downs and 392 yards of total offense. Waurika countered with 18 first downs and 472 yards of total offense.

Colten Browning was Allen’s must productive player with 216 yards rushing on 26 carries.

Colton Frederick rushed for 97 yards on 15 car-ries. He also completed four passes for 44 yards and a touchdown.

The Mustangs were led on defense by Auston Hamilton with a game-high 10 tackles.

Three others added 7 stops each, including Mark Huitt, Joe How-shar and Tanner Wofford. Rush Black contributed 6 tackles to the total.

Allen will be looking to bounce back into the win column Thursday evening at Maud.

Over the weekend sev-eral of the congregation traveled to Eureka Spring, Arkansas to listen to the church group sing at the Passion Play and at the Ozark Theatre on Satur-day night. As usual the

Passion Play was inspir-ing and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and fel-lowship.

Sunday morning Mur-phy and Larry had their new great-grandson and his family in the services.

Murphy and her daughter Angie sang a medley of “Amazing Grace.”

Bro. Larry’s message was taken from Psalm 8:1-9 and entitled “Does God Really Care?” Con-sider the vastness of the universe. Even the an-cients knew they were somehow a part of all creation. They correctly understood that God was at work in the universe. We live in such a pressure-packed, fast-paced world we seldom take the time to look up. Looking up should make us consider the awesome glory of God.

There is no other planet in the universe quite like this one. There are those who marvel at this won-derful world, but deny it’s glorious Creator. Chris-tians we believe that God created this world and charges mankind with looking after it.

All of that is designed to show us that he cares for us. The God of all cre-ation desires to have a re-lationship with us. We are surrounded by everything needed for our existence. As the Psalmist thought about it, he became con-vinced that God cares about mankind. Let’s re-

member that in the midst of this universe, God’s eye is on each of us.

Sunday night we wel-comed Terry Campbell from Falls City, Nebraska in our services. He is a Christian soloist who had sung at Holdenville that morning. He had a beau-

tiful voice and sang many of our favorite songs from the past.

We want to remind you of our Fall Festival on November 6th, from 9-2. We will have antiques, jewelry, flower arrange-ments, clothes and baked goods. We invite you to attend.

Allen School Board Filing Period announced

On September 19, 2015, Joe and Tandy Hudson left on a trip to Mackinac Is-land, Mackinac City, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.

Mackinac Island (pro-nounced Mac-a-naw) is an island about six miles off the coast of Michigan in Lake Huron. The island does not have any motor-ized vehicles and the only means of transportation is by horse, horse-drawn vehicles, or bicycles. All supplies are ferried to the island and then transported by horse-drawn wagons.

The island was once occupied by Indians and the French. The Indians traded furs for supplies with the French at the fort call Michilimackinac. In 1761, the British soldiers and civilians took over Fort Michilimackinac fol-lowing the French and Indian War.

The Hudsons toured Fort Michilimackinac that was built in 1711. It was built on the mainland, torn down and moved to Mackinac Island, then torn down and moved back to the mainland where the British took control in 1761. Much of the fort is

in the original condition, as it was in 1711. It was put together with joints and pegs to hold it togeth-er and it’s amazing some of it is still original.

Today there are numer-ous shops on the Island, most of which are fudge shops. Locals call the tourists “Fudgies.” This is because it seems like every tourist has a bag of fudge. The island has the Grand Hotel, built in 1887, a very elegant, expensive hotel that has been fea-tured in several movies. Two years after the Grand was built, Henry Murdick opened the island’s first “Candy Kitchen”, which offered hand-dipped choc-olates, salt water taffy, and creamy fudge. By 1920, fudge became Mackinac Island’s number one sou-venir.

The State of Michigan is divided into two parts, the Lower Peninsula is separated from the Upper Peninsula by Lake Michi-gan and Lake Huron. The two parts are connected by the Mackinac Bridge, which is 26,372 feet long. The span between the two anchor blocks is 8,344 feet long and 550 feet high. The Mackinac Bridge is

considered the dividing point between Lake Mich-igan and Lake Huron.

The plants and foliage on the lower and upper parts are beautiful.

They saw several light houses of various shapes and sizes.

Locals from the Upper Peninsula are called Yoop-ers (for Upper Peninsula) and those on the lower part are called Trolls – because they live in Michigan “be-low the bridge.”

This area of Michigan was first occupied by the Anishinabe Indians which were members of the Chippewa tribe of the Algonquin nation.

The Soo Locks connect Lake Superior and Lake Huron, between Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Cana-da. The locks can handle a ship up to 1,000 feet long and 105 feet wide carry-ing 60,000 tons of cargo or more. At this point, Lake Superior is 26 feet higher than Lake Huron. When a ship goes into the locks, the boat or ship is tied to stabilizers on the top of the locks. If you’re going from Huron to Su-perior it takes 22,000,000

gallons of water to lift the ship to the level of Lake Superior, then the locks open and your level is the same as Lake Superior. To return to Lake Huron, you go through the Canadian locks and the boat or ship is lowered 26 feet to match the level of Lake Huron. There are Soo Lock boats that take you on a tour of the locks or if preferred, you can go thru the U.S. locks.

These 1,000 foot super-tankers, of which there are 13, are restricted to operation on the Great Lakes (exception is Lake Ontario) because the St. Lawrence Seaway and Welland Canal locks can only handle a freighter up to 730 feet in length.

The U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker, Mackinac, is used to break the ice and keep the channel open for ships thru the winter. Cur-rently there are five Coast Guard icebreaking tugs powered by single screw 2,500 hp Westinghouse engines and up to 1,250 hp Fairbanks Morse genera-tors.

If you’re in Canadian or U.S. waters you do not need a passport unless

the boat drops anchor. We were asked whether the vessel was a ship or boat. The captain said his daughter, that works for the locks, gave him a definition that says you can put a boat on a ship but you can’t put a ship on a boat. So that is how they determine if a vessel is a boat or ship.

The amount of traffic that comes thru the locks is enormous.

The Hudsons had never been to that part of Michi-gan but can now report the scenery is breathtaking. The people were very friendly and the tempera-tures were great, high 30s to low 40s at night and mid to upper 60s to low 70s during the day.

Customs, traditions and history were much dif-ferent than in Oklahoma. They were only there for a week and could not see everything but the trip to that part of the country is well worth the time.

A little hint from the Hudsons, do not go there from November to the last of April. The snow that falls in November is still there in April.
