I had a flat top in high school and Herman Apple was my barber. When he finished the cut he would always put butch wax in my hair. It made what little hair was left stand up and it also smelled good. On the way home, the bugs that flew near me would get stuck in my hair. It was better than fly spray and often my mom would have me walk thru the house before dinner to rid our home of flying insects. The girls also discussed their hairstyles which came from area beauticians such as Nell Baldwin, Velma Berryman, Irene Barnhart, Bonnie Nowlin, Nora Parker and Minnie Sweeney. The girls’ memories made me think about one of my favorite “hair” stories shared by Dennis Swanberg. The Toni Sucrets? Not many of us ever took one of those elusive throat lozenges, but we can sure remember things that were stored in the boxes long after the lozenges were gone. A Sucrets box was a multifaceted thing. Our family had one that was mainly used to store bobby pins; it only came forth t a special time in our life – when Mama got a Toni! Mama periodically saved up to buy a Toni home-permanent kit. She got so excited when she purchased one at the supermarket. She was pumped! It was a monumental moment for Mama. Her getting a Toni was likened in the Swanberg family to her being the winner on the fifties television show Queen for a Day. It was Mama’s new lease on life. It was her moment in the sun and our moment of nasal dismay. That stuff stank! It was an event that was precipitated by many phone calls to aunts, grandparents, sisters and friends. It was almost newsworthy in the local Grit magazine. And it was the catalyst for Mama’s disposition for the next couple of months. We would pray, “Lord Jesus, give us a good Toni for the family’s sake. If Mama’s not happy, nobody’s happy.” On some Toni adventures, we traveled to Grandpa and Grandma Johnson’s house in the country. Grandma Bell would administer the Toni on the front porch, next to the old church bench. All of the Toni paraphernalia would be laid on the church bench, but not to rest. We kids usually sat out in the cotton field on a terrace and watched. This was a sight that I must explain. G randma always began by washing Mama’s hair in a big white porcelain pan with a red rim, the one we kids were bathed in when we were babies. After slinging Mama’s hair back, Grandma twisted it to wring it out. Then out came the comb. Grandma pulled in through Mama’s hair, taking out the tangles. We watched Mama wince, but she was willing to endure the pain for the excitement of getting a Toni. G randma started with a strand of hair, poured on the milky solutions, and then put a square of toilet tissue on Mamas hair. Next she rolled that strand of hair around a pencil and slid the curl down to Mama’s head. With two bobby pins from the Sucrets box, she pinned Mama’s new Toni curl down! We were waiting for the Toni bottle; that stuff stank to high heaven. It was not a sweet aroma to the Lord. But Grandma seemed to enjoy the smell. When she took that bottle and poured it on Mama’s hair, the ozone layer visibly changed. We cringed, Mama held her nose, and Grandma inhaled. Even the mud daubers took off from their next under the eaves of the porch! We loved watching those mud daubers get out of the way. Their formation was, everyone on your own; abandon mission. They weren’t the Blue Angels, but they were the Flying Daubers, reminiscent of the Flying Tigers of World War II! We kids qualified Mama’s Toni’s by how many mud daubers were affected when Grandma dabbed on that stinky, milky, murky liquid. That day on Grandma’s porch, Mama’s Toni was a nine-dauber ‘do. Others ranged between four and seven, but that day was the one and only nine-dauber ‘do. T hose were the days. Life’s joys were there for all of us: Mama, Grandma, we kids, and the mud daubers. We enjoyed the elementary things of life. Looking back, I realize that those times were memorable and noteworthy. They were our basic education before entering the upper-level courses of life. Mama was satisfied with a Toni, whereas moms today want a nine-dauber special at a nine-chair salon. Who know how they do hair today? It’s all done behind closed doors. In those days, it was done on the porch. We were family, and we all experienced it together. Mama even went to the grocery store with her hair in pins to show off her impending moment of glory. Her hair would soon unfold and hold. We would be blessed, and Mama would be transformed. N ow when I open my medicine cabinet and see a Sucrets box, I remember those Toni moments and am reminded of how good life was, is, and will be. Every family needs a box of memories. —CC— The older I get the more I enjoy taking trips down “Memory Lane” . . . Forty years ago this weekend a dazzling American writer with a massive following died far too young. You never see his name on most-esteemed-author lists alongside Hemingway or Faulkner or Fitzgerald; the sentences he wrote were not intended to appear on a printed page. Rod Serling was 50 years old when, after open-heart surgery, he passed away on June 28, 1975. Tens of millions of television viewers knew him solely as the host/ narrator of “The Twilight Zone” series, which ran from 1959 to 1964. There is twist to that worthy of a Serling script: He ended up on camera only because CBS’s first choice, Orson Wells, was asking for too large a salary. S o Serling, the creator of the series, was called to step in front of the lights. In retrospect, he was ideal for the role, and for the medium: dark-haired, intense and sharp-featured, often wearing a black suit, white shirt and black necktie as he introduced a black-and-white tale of which “lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge.” His crisp delivery registered with the clarity of hard-metal typewriter letters slapping against a brandnew ribbon onto a pristine sheet of paper. Yet for all the lasting cultural cachet of “The Twilight Zone,” Serling’s genius as a writer was first, and best, seen in the years before the series went on the air. When television was still a novelty, Serling – an undersized World War II paratrooper attempting to find his footing back home – wrote a string of tele-plays, presented live, that eve today are stunning in their power and maturity. “Patterns” – he was still in his 20s when he wrote it – was the Kraft Television Theatre production that, on the night of January 12, 1955, made his name. A tale of betrayal and cruelty in executive suites, it presaged the visceral understanding of the human heart that would be his touchstone. “ Requiem for a Heavyweight,” the story of a prizefighter tossed into life’s garbage heap when he ceases to be a meal ticket for his manager, may be Serling’s finest work, but there were so many others: “The Comedian,” about television’s capacity to make monsters of its stars; “The Velvet Alley,” about Hollywood’s perilous seductiveness; “The Arena,” about Capitol Hill politics corroding the souls of those who toil at it. Coast-to-coast television was still new. With only a handful of channels available, much of an enthralled nation witnessed each live production. Serling’s most impressive contribution may have been the respect he had for the intelligence of his audience; his faith that people were willing to watch stories with serious adult themes, in the years before “adult content” came to mean curse words, gratuitous nudity and toilet humor. In the first season of “The Twilight Zone,” Serling wrote 28 of the 36 weekly episodes. He would write the majority of the 156 productions during the series’ five-year run. The deadline swore him out; toward the end of his life he briefly hosted a TV game show and did commercials for beer and floor wax. For all his 30-minute tales of other worldly phenomena, the most vivid theme in his writing was a constant longing for home, a yearning for the place where all of us have our beginnings. He is buried in Seneca County in upstate New York, not far from where he grew up. One of the most-admired episodes in the series that made him a celebrity and that ultimately exhausted him was called “Walking Distance,” about an adverContinued Page 3 THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JULY 2, 2015 -PAGE 3 Ty O’Daniel Collecting Stuffed Animals for Sick Kids Ty O’Daniel is a student at Allen Elementary and will be starting third grade in the fall. He has been a Cloverbud for the last two years and next fall will officially be a 4-H member. Ty has been active in helping with the 4-H Christmas Pillowcases for WHNC as well as the garden there also. After watching a video at Vacation Bible School at the Atwood Church of the Nazarene, Ty decided he wanted to make sick kids happy so he has decided to take on a Service Project which he is calling “Operation Cuddle Buddy.” Ty’s goal for the 2015-2016 year is to make 100 children happy. Ty will be collecting donations of NEW stuffed animals with the help of Farmer’s State Bank and The Allen Advocate in Allen, and Chaney Lane in North Hills Center and Mercy Hospital, both in Ada, which are all stuffed animal drop sights. Each stuffed animal he donates will be adorned with a special handmade card with a personal message for the recipient. If you would like to make and contribute cards, Scraptopia is Ty’s official site for dropping off cards to be attached to the stuffed animals. There will be a basket at Scraptopia and if you need inspiration the ladies there will be glad to help you get going! L ori Wightman, Mercy Hospital Director, has been a tremendous blessing to this project and is graciously helping Ty get the stuffed animals to the children who come in for care. Ty is excited and thankful that he has the opportunity to make some kids happy. Thank you to everyone willing to help out and get Operation Cuddle Buddy going. A big thanks to Top Shelf Market Place in Seminole for donating the Blue Trunk that is set up for donations at Farmer’s State Bank. Ty is the son of Brett and Danielle O’Daniel and brother to Ryan and Ely. Ty enjoys fishing, playing basketball, going on calls with Dad, and he especially likes to help cook and EAT!

Here are the final words in that night’s show, heard in Serling’s voice-over narration, describing the character but also likely speaking of someone else: “Martin Sloan, age 36, vice president in charge of media. Successful in most things, but not in the one effort that all men try at some time in their lives – trying to go home again. And also like all men, perhaps there’ll be an occasion, maybe a summer night sometime, when he’ll look up from what he’s doing and listen to the distant music of a callipe, and hear the voices and the laughter of the people and the places of his past. And perhaps across his mind there’ll flit a little errant wish: that a man might not have to become old, never outgrow the parks and the merry-go-rounds of his youth. And he’ll smile then too, because he’ll know it is just an errant wish, some wisp of memory, not too important, really: some laughing ghosts that cross a Member SIPC Now Accepting New Patients!

Those were the days that relatives came. On the 4th of July holiday we got out the freezer and made homemade ice cream. If it was the year that we had strawberries, it was strawberry ice cream. If there were no strawberries, it was just vanilla ice cream. Usually the ice cream freezing took place in the backyard ••• Fourth of July ••• or on the big porch off the kitchen. It depended on the number of relatives who came and where there was the most room for everyone. In the fall on Labor Day, it was a day for the men to kill a hog and the relatives made the sausage, dressed and hung the hams in the smoke house, cooked spare ribs for the family dinner, etc. The HOLDENVILLE EY E C ENT E R 720 N.

Most everyone had an out of state tag. Lake Murray is very popular with people who are not local, but the lake gets a lot of traffic on weekends and holidays. It is amazing how our lives have changed over the years. Holidays were for families. A nother thing that has changed is how we spend our time. When I was grow- ing up, my spare time was spent outdoors. In the summer it was swimming or fishing for crawdads in the farm pond. In the fall and winter it was picking up pecans or hickory nuts or hunting rabbits. Now when you see two or more teenagers together, each one of them are talking or posting on a cell phone.

It was where you went to book the latest movies, short subjects and newsreels. It was the big town if you lived in Stonewall. Dad usually asked my older brother Gerald to go with him for his frequent visits to “Film Row” in Oklahoma City. Sometimes I tagged along too. Film Row provided booking services and housing for movie outlets such as RKO, Warner Brothers, Columbia, Universal Films and several others that had offices there. The Peaks and their Oklahoma Theatre Supply was there and always required a visit. It was a place we bought popcorn by the hundred pound bag and small barrels of coconut oil colored and seasoned to make the popcorn taste like “movie” pop corn. I never did get caught up in the spirit of Film Row like Gerald did. He loved it. He liked the previews the little film offices had running and the banter with these agents for Hollywood. Booking pictures that hadn’t been fin- - Visiting Film Row - ished yet was a pretty heady experience for Gerald and me and, I expect, for my dad. It was about as close to Hollywood as any of us would get. But alas--as the years went by the lights started to wink out at the little movies across the Oklahoma prairie. Most of these little “picture shows” vanished in the space of just a few years. As they faded, so did our Film Row. The old Main Theatre in Stonewall held on longer than many but then fire stole the historic structure and left it in ashes one sad night. Stonewall never had another movie show again. Over in Ada locals were astonished when both of their drive-ins went dark and then the Kiva, and the Ritz shut down. Ms. Kaiser shuttered the only home owned movie in Ada--The Ada Theatre--and even Ada’s big Mac went dark for what seemed like a long time to Ada’s movie lovers. A giant chain came to town and opened up something called CineMark. The darkened McSwain sat there like a ghost until we almost didn’t “see” it anymore and years went by before the Chickasaw Nation purchased and re-purposed the big theatre turning out a beautifully restored facility providing all sorts of theatre to Pontotoc County--even movies. Like most businessmen in the 40s, Dad donned a suit and tie before venturing up to Film Row but my interest slacked off pretty fast and I usually opted instead to visiting the big downtown OKC Walgreens. They had the best fountain service in the “City” and served a banana split unequaled in the civilized world. It was costly but even I could come up with a quarter once in a while. Not many years ago Gerald and I were visiting Film Row again. Everything was closed up, gone and boarded up except Oklahoma Theatre Supply. We walked in there and behind the counter in the back a woman in her late 80’s sat all alone in the old store. She looked us over and said to no one in particular, “Well, it looks like the Bullard Boys are in town.” The last time she had seen me was in 1953. Thanks to my readers for the good response to my book now being marketed, “One Pharmacist’s View.” We still have copies available and you are welcome Has God changed the law regarding same-sex marriage? The decision of the Supreme Court regarding same-sex marriage caused quite an uproar last week, but let’s remember, it was a decision made by men. God and His law have not changed. No matter how many laws men may enact or how many leaders support homosexuality and same-sex marriage, the truth is that “God made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’” (Matthew 19:4-5) It was a woman that God made and brought to Adam, not another man! Does God love homosexual people? He certainly does! He loves each of us regardless of the sins we may commit – whether homosexuals or straight, whether adulterers or faithful to one mate, or if we are thieves, fornicators or murders. He loved us so much that “He gave His only begotten Son” to die for us so we could be forgiven of our disobedience to Him. God did not send Jesus to condemn us, but to save us.

Jim and Chris McDonald hosted the weekend to celebrate son Josh’s birthday. Those making the trip to be together were Andy and Beth McDonald, Cadence, Owen and Hendley of Dallas; Matt, Cecilia and Jonathan McDonald of Dallas; Josh McDonald of Tulsa; Micah and Savanna McDonald of Austin, Texas; Jacob of Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Annetta Doyle of Oklahoma City. Jacob has been able to extend his visit thru this week. The children returned from their Kiamichi Youth Camp adventure with stories about a preacher named Bubba who was so entertaining that he kept their full attention for 45 minutes every evening. One evening he even preached about Jonah from the inside of a balloon! T here were activities like basketball, water sliding, and archery for them to participate in. Cadence Cross was champion rope climber by a mile, and then brought everyone in her cabin to tears one evening when she sang “Amazing Grace.” Most important of all, though, is that 7 people from their cabin alone made professions of faith. Remember that it is already time for the 1st Sunday Breakfast on July 5th. If you like homemade biscuits, sausage, eggs, gravy, or chocolate gravy you’ll be in luck if you’re there by the 9:00 A.M. serving time. If you like all of the above, you’ll be in for a real feast. The following Sunday, July 12 th, Rev. Doug Miller will preach on Sunday morning, and the fellowship meal will be served right after the worship service. Be sure to have a fun 4th of July, but first keep it safe! J oyce Searcy sang “How Long Has It Been?” as the special music selection this Sunday. The song ends with the words, “How long since you knew that He cares for you?” When we take time to pray and read our Bible He reminds us how much He cares for us--and that puts everything else into its proper perspective. Rev. Karch’s message was “The Chosen of God” and was taken from Luke 5:1-27; Luke 6: 12-16, and the 2nd chapter of I Peter. Jesus chose the twelve followers who would be his disciples after long, earnest prayer. Then he taught them all day every day. With the exception of one, Judas, these twelve men faithfully followed him until the day he died. Then they continued to follow him until the day each of them died. C hristians are part of the Royal Priesthood, a brotherhood that is called out from the rest of humanity to serve him. We are asked to abstain from lusting after anything that isn’t holy. We should conduct ourselves in a way that is above reproach. We should seek God’s approval, not the world’s approval. This often means that the world will take note of our Godly deeds and glorify God. [Two people who are examples of this are Billy Graham and Mother Teresa]. Don’t seek confrontations with the law, and do respect people in positions of authority. On the other hand, just because something is legal doesn’t mean we should indulge in it. Drinking alcohol and gambling are legal but that doesn’t mean we have to engage in them. In short, we are chosen of God; we must act like it!

In a separate incident the woman received a second felony charge of assault and battery and one felony count of taking/receiving credit or debit card. According to documents filed in the District Court of Hughes County, Calvin Police Officer Linda Crawford was summoned at Approximately 10:10 p.m. on June 2, 2015, after Teresa Howell, 46, and Russell “Rusty” Mayberry, 49, were at a Calvin residence with the victim and the victim reportedly made a remark that offended Mayberry. As they were leaving the residence the victim got in a car with Howell. Mayberry got in his pickup but then got out and allegedly pulled the victim from Howell’s car, knocking the victim’s glasses off. The report states that Mayberry followed Howell home. When they arrived he allegedly opened the car door on the victim’s side, pulled the victim out by the throat and struck the victim in the chest, causing him to fall on Howell’s car. The report states that, after the victim told the two he was going to the neighbor’s to report them to the police, Howell allegedly ran behind the victim and grabbed him by the shirt, ripping it off and scratching up the victim’s back. By the time police arrived, Howell and Mayberry were gone.

Howell reportedly later came back in the yard yelling that the victim had stolen her teeth. The victim stated that, after Howell came home and while she was in the shower he retrieved his food stamp card and debit card the social security office issued him for his disability checks that Howell refused to give to him the day before. The officer next made contact with Howell and Mayberry. After reading them the Miranda warning, she told them she had some questions and patted them down for her own safety. The teeth in question were found in Howell’s pocket, and she stated that she found them in the bottom of her purse. Howell stated that she had walked into a house without permission because she was angry the victim had taken his cards back. She also admitted she had ripped his shirt off the night before, but that was it. When Mayberry was asked if he hit, grabbed, choked or put his hands on the victim the night before, he stated that he did not even touch the victim. When asked if he knocked the victim’s glasses off his face, he replied no, he never touched the victim. When told that there was an eyewitness, Mayberry stated that they were lying. Howell and Mayberry were placed under arrest and transported to Hughes County Jail.
