In the early 1960’s, a small
concrete-block building was
erected in a cow pasture south of
Holdenville. Next to the building was a metal tower stretching
upward into the sky.
For Don Hopson, this set-up
was the fulfillment of a dream.
This tiny structure would be the
home to Holdenville’s first local
radio station.
Hopson was the sole owner
of Canadian River Broadcasting Company. He was granted a
broadcast license from the FCC
to operate radio station KVYL
am 1370.
Beginning in 1963, KVYL
signed on the daily broadcast
schedule at 6 a.m. Residents in
Holdenville and across Hughes
County tuned in over the next 12
hours to hear “gospel, Country
and Western, and popular music, with a smattering of news.”
Each morning’s broadcast in-
cluded a segment to read funeral
service notices from Hudson Funeral Home and Hobgood’s Funeral Home.
A daily weather forecast would
alert mothers on how to dress
their school-bound children.
For entertainment, the station’s turn-table would spin hits
from stars like Johnny Cash,
George Jones, and Buck Owens.
Among the top female singers
were Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline
and Tammy Wynette.
Don Hopson was the owner
and station manager. He also
served as a disc jockey along
with his two employees, Bill
Anderson and Rex Cooper.
Regular listeners quickly became familiar with the three
on-aor personalities on KVYL.
Each disc jockey developed
loyal fans. However, the biggest
star of the Holdenville radio station was a fourth guy – a hillbil-

Juanita Lester Honored on 90th Birthday
On Saturday October 13th
many friends, neighbors and
family gathered at Savannah
Park Community Center in
Holdenville, Oklahoma to
celebrate the 90th birthday
of Juanita Lester. The celebration took place on Saturday because Juanita didn’t
want a big deal made on her
birthday which was on Friday October 12th. True to
their word, Juanita’s family
did not make a big deal on
her birthday but couldn’t let
this special occasion pass by
without celebrating the life
of a truly wonderful woman.
The celebration was attended by two very special
guests, Elmer Dickens from
Big Spring Texas and Melissa Talley from Stuart,
Oklahoma, Juanita’s brother
and sister. Juanita’s three
children, Ronald Lester, Pat
Sanford and Jane Jones, several grandchildren and great
grandchildren from as far
away as Colorado also attended.
Everyone enjoyed Bar B
Q, cake and refreshments. A
good time was had by all, catered by Jeff Morris of Francis.
Juanita has enjoyed a wonderful long life spending
most of her 90 years in Holdenville. She was born and
attended school in Lamar,
JUANITA IS PICTURED WITH HER BROTHER, ELMER DICKENS AND HER SISTER,

in sports playing basketball.
She married Lee Lester and
raised three children. In addition to her role as a homemaker, Juanita also worked
as a seamstress for Seamprufe in Holdenville and retired from Lillian Russell in
Wewoka.
Juanita is an excellent cook
and always enjoyed having
the whole family over for
holiday dinners and cooking
for many family reunions.
Juanita also enjoyed quilting
and watching football.
Juanita was very surprised
by her party and by all who
came to celebrate with her
and show her how special
she is in their lives.

PAGE A-2—HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—DECEMBER 12, 2012
Every December my mind goes back to what my father would
tell us at this time. He would remind us how much we should
appreciate a warm home and hot food. The reason it meant so
much to him, especially to him in December, was because of what
he went thru in 1944.
The Battle of the Bulge had broken out in World War II and as a
tanker in the 740th Daredevil Tank Battalion, he was in the middle
of it. Several times he told us that he was less afraid of getting
killed by the Germans than he was of freezing to death.
Hot food was a dream, the inside of the tank like a freezer and
your buddies dying around you . . . it was a Christmas he would
never forget . . . and that is why he appreciated so many things that
a lot of us take for granted.
Recently a letter from Pete Skelton crossed my desk and it
reminded me of what my dad had said so many times . . .
Two years ago I visited the World War II Memorial in Washington,
D.C. The monument was full of people that day. As I stepped into
the plaza, I saw a veteran, so I saluted him. He saluted back, albeit
feebly. I walked over, knelt by him, and thanked him for his service.
He smiled and said, “You’re welcome” with a nod.
He was wearing a cap with the words “Bastogne Veteran” on it. I
knew about the tough Siege of Bastogne in December 1944. The
question I asked him about it seemed strange, but his answer would
forever change me. “How cold was it for you?” I asked. He looked
at me but in his mind saw a memory that must have been locked
away in a place where people put things they really don’t want to
remember. And with that memory came his reply: “Three sticks.”
I asked him what that meant, and he began his story. “The sound
of battle was awful, just awful. But the cold was the worst part. At
night the Germans would shell us, and trees and branches would fall
into our trenches. My two buddies and I would move the shattered
wood out of our trench and wait. When the shelling was done, the
cold would come back, and so would the thought of sleep.”
He slowly put his hands together and said, “Each night I would put
three sticks between my hands from the branches that had fallen.”
With his hands shaking, he reached out as if giving me something.
“I would let my buddies pick one. We all wanted the short stick
and the warmth it would bring. The short stick meant you would be
in the middle. It meant a soldier on each side of you sitting in that
trench.”
He looked at me, but clearly he had left the plaza and was back
in that trench in Bastogne. “Then,” he quietly uttered, “that was as
warm as you were ever going to be from the cold.”
The fact is, for most Americans, Christmas comes everyday.

Recently I attended an event where my long time friend Ron
Hunter was the guest speaker. At the conclusion of his speech he
shared the following poem. I had never heard it before and it really
toughed my heart.
Christmas
On Christmas Eve a young boy with light in his eyes
Looked deep into Santa’s, to Santa’s surprise,
And said as he nestled on Santa’s broad knee,
“I want your secret. Tell it to me.”
He leaned up and whispered in Santa’s good ear,
“How do you do it, year after year?”
“I want to know how as you travel about,
Giving gifts here and there, you never run out.
How is it, dear Santa, that your pack of toys
you have plenty for all of the world’s girls and boys?
Stays so full never empties, as you make your way
From rooftop to rooftop, to homes large and small,
From nation to nation, reaching them all”
And Santa smiled kindly and said to the boy,
“Don’t ask me hard questions, Don’t you want a toy?”
But the child shook his head, and Santa could see
that he needed the answer. “Now listen to me.”
He told the small boy with the light in his eyes,
“My secret will make you sadder, and wise.
The truth is my sack is magic in side
It holds millions of toys for my Christmas Eve ride.
Although I do visit each girl and each boy
I don’t always leave them a gaily wrapped Toy.
Some homes are hungry, some homes are sad,
Some homes are desperate, some homes are bad.
Some homes are broken, and children there grieve.
Those homes I visit, but what should I leave?”
“My sleigh is filled with the happiest stuff,
But for homes where despair lives, toys aren’t enough.
So I tip toe in, kiss each girl and boy,
And pray with them they will be give the joy
Of the spirit of Christmas, the spirit that lives
In the heart of the dear child who gets not, but gives.”
If only God hears me and answers my prayer,
When I visit next year, what I will find there
Are homes filled with peace, and with giving and love
And boys and girls gifted with light from above.
It’s a very hard task, my smart little brother,
To give toys to some, and to give prayers to others.
But the prayers are the best gifts, the best gifts indeed,
For God has a way of meeting each need.
“That’s part of the answer. The rest, my dear youth,
Is that my sack is magic. And that is the truth.
In my sack I carry on Christmas Eve Day
More love than a Santa could ever give away.
The sack never empties of love, or of joys
‘Cause inside it are prayers, and hopes, not just toys.
The more that I give, the fuller it seems,
Because giving is my way of fulfilling dreams.
And so do you know something “You’ve got a sack, too.
It’s as magic as mine, and it’s inside of you.
It never gets empty, it’s full from the start.
It’s the center of lights, and of love. It’s your heart.
And if on this Christmas you want to help me,
Don’t be so concerned with the gifts ‘neath your tree.
Open that sack called your heart, and share
Your joy, your friendship, your wealth, your care.”
The light in the small boy’s eyes was glowing.
“Thanks for the secret. I’ve got to be going.”
“Wait, little boy,” said Santa, “don’t go.
Will you share? Will you help? Will you use what you know?”
And just for a moment the small boy stood still,
Touched his heart with his small hand and whispered, “I will.”

ly-sounding DJ named Cousin Carl.
Listeners immediately went wild for Cousin Carl. He would
amuse and delight them with his unique voice and funny comments.
Most of his performances were delivered over the radio. However,
Cousin Carl also made public appearances at major events, like the
Peanut Festival parade or the Holdenville High School Homecoming festivities.
What most listeners didn’t know was that Cousin Carl was, in
reality, the same person as disc jockey Bill Anderson. The character Cousin Carl was ‘born’ out of a funny voice Anderson had used
earlier while working at a radio station in DeQueen, Arkansas.
Anderson used the voice of a country hick to record a commercial for a car dealership. As fate would have it, Don Hopson was
working at another radio station in Arkansas and happened to hear
Anderson’s commercial on the radio. The voice Hopson heard
sounded a little like ‘Brother Hal’ from a Little Rock, Arkansas
radio station. At the time, Brother Hal was Arkansas’ No. 1 radio
personality.
Hopson was planning to open a radio station in Holdenville,
Oklahoma. He suddenly had a great idea for his new station. He
stopped in DeQueen to find out whose voice was used on the commercial. Anderson told Hopson he had recorded the spot. Hopson
then shared his plans of building a new station in Holdenville. He
wanted Anderson to come to work there as a disc jockey as soon as
it was ready to go on the air.
“I told him I would be interested in going there when it opened,”
he said. “But I already had a good government job and was only
working part-time at the radio station. I wasn’t sure I’d take the
job when it was offered, but told him I’d be interested. He was
persistent and kept giving me updates on how things were coming
along. Two years passed before he came to my house to offer me
the job.”
Anderson had never heard of Holdenville before meeting Hopson. He had no real desire to quit his good job and move there.
However, he decided to take the trip to Holdenville to see the new
radio station.
“I told my wife we’d better drive up there and check it out,”
Anderson recalls. “But I figured we’d see the station and then I’d
turn down the offer. My wife went with me on the trip. We stayed
all night at a motel in town and then went out to the radio station
the next day.”
Hopson was impressed with Anderson and determined to hire the
talented disc jockey.
“We got to talking and he made me an offer,” Anderson recalls.
“His offer was so good that I did a double-take. I had to ask him
twice to be sure I’d heard him correctly. It was pretty good money
and I accepted the job at KVYL.”
This was a major turning point for Anderson. However, he didn’t
realize it when he agreed to the offer.
“I had no idea at the time how this (job) would change my life,”
he said. “But this job is what got me started doing Cousin Carl …
and that made my (radio) career. I am so thankful to Don Hopson
for doing that for me.”
At first, Anderson argued with Hopson about opening the new
station with Cousin Carl. But the station owner knew how loved
Brother Hal was in Arkansas and expected a similar reception for
Cousin Carl in Holdenville.
“I had never really listened to Brother Hal,” Anderson said.

HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—DECEMBER 12, 2012—PAGE A-5
Cousin Carl helped launch Holdenville’s radio station
Bill Anderson began his hillbilly disc jockey act at KVYL in 1963
Continued from Page A-3
“When I lived in southern McCurtain County, we could not
pick up the (Little Rock) radio
station. I knew about him and
had heard him a time or two …
but that was all. Don Hopson had
worked with him. It was his idea
for me to do a 3-hour character
show like that. I didn’t want to
because we were just starting up
a new station. I thought the people of Holdenville would laugh
me out of town.”
Hopson insisted Anderson
do the character. The employee
was eager to make that nice paycheck, so he went along with the
boss’ vision.
“He’s the one who came up
with the name Cousin Carl. He
sat down and made a drawing of
what Cousin Carl should look
like. I’ll never forget what he
said. He told me he could hire
a Bill Anderson all day long.
When he hired me, it was to get
my character and that’s what he
wanted from me. He developed
the idea of what Cousin Carl
should look like, and told me it
would be very successful. And
… he was right. I never dreamed
of how successful it would turn
out for me.”
Anderson’s first task was to
find an outrageous costume to
wear for his public performances.
“I wore overalls, a shirt, and
a big, floppy confederate hat
pulled down over my ears. I also
wore giant pair of combat boots,
way too big for me, and I wore
them on the wrong feet. That
was my Cousin Carl look!”
Anderson recalls an appearance at First National Bank
when he interviewed Governor
Henry Bellman live on KVYL.
Wearing his Cousin Carl outfit,
the broadcaster joked around
with the politician.
“He happened to look down
and noticed my feet,” Anderson
said. “He told me ‘Cousin Carl,
you’ve got your shoes on the
wrong feet.’ I explained to him
that I’d bought them over at Herman Nichol’s shoe store across
the street. I said I was sitting
down cross-legged when Herman tried them on me. When I
got up to leave they were on the
wrong feet! Bellmon heard my
story and just lost it. He broke
up (laughing) on the air. It was
really funny!”
As the months and years
passed, the secret of Bill and
Cousin Carl was kept from the
public. As far as they knew,
there were four announcers at
KVYL. Hardly anyone knew
that Anderson did the Cousin
Carl voice for three hours each
morning. He would then switch
to his ‘normal’ voice when reporting the news.
From the beginning, KYVL
listeners were delighted to hear
Cousin Carl talking in that funny voice and playing Country
music. He was an instant hit and
beloved by the growing number
of fans. However, his career in
Hughes County almost ended
before it was fully established.
“I was there in Holdenville for
about 2 years the first time,” he
said. “But I left to go to work in
television at Dodge City, Kansas. My stay in Kansas lasted
about 10 months.”
Don Hopson knew his KVYL
listeners were heartbroken over
Cousin Carl’s departure. The
station owner was determined
to get him back. Hopson badgered Anderson with calls and
telegrams until the DJ agreed to
return to Holdenville.
“He offered me a car and all
my weekends off,” Anderson
recalls. “It was a good deal and
I came back to work at KVYL.
I stayed there another nine
years before leaving for the last
time.”
In addition to his disc jockey
work, Anderson began making extra money as a pilot. He
flew over pipelines to inspect
them for leaks. He also worked
as a crop-duster for large farming operations across the state.
He’d fly over the fields and
spray crops to protect them from
weeds, bugs and insects.
It was the pilot opportunities
(with their higher salaries) that
lured Cousin Carl away from
KVYL from time to time.
“I’d take a leave from the station and go to Texas to work for
a while,” he said. “He (Hopson)
would let me off until I was ready
to come back to work there. I
did that a couple of times and
then I’d go back to KVYL for a
while. But it got to the point that
I needed the money (from the
pilot business) and just decided
to not return from my last leave.
That’s how I ended up leaving
Holdenville for good. But I’ll
tell you that I’ve never forgotten the place. It was one of the
biggest highlights of my career.
I was so well-received by the
wonderful people there. That’s
where Cousin Carl began and it
allowed me to provide a wonderful life for my family. ”
Many years have passed since
anyone has heard Cousin Carl’s
voice on KVYL. Even so, plenty
of lifelong residents will smile
and nod when remembering the
biggest star to ever call the place
home.
After working several years in
Texas, Anderson again felt the
urge to return to broadcasting.
He moved back to Arkansas and
returned to work as a disc jockey. He successfully continued to
use Cousin Carl to the delight of
listeners there.
In 1992, Anderson realized a personal dream when he
launched his own radio station.
He owns and operates KWKZ
106.1, a 50,000 watt FM station
in Cape Girardeau. It is known
as Pure Country C106.1, the
Cousin Carl station. Anderson
can be heard from 10 am until
12 noon each weekday on the
station (including a live feed
available on the Internet).
As for Holdenville, he has
made two memorable trips back
to town.
“Bill Robinson invited me
back there in about 1980 or
1981,” he said. “It was Homecoming for Holdenville High
School and Bill wanted me to
be there. I was just sure nobody
would show up for Cousin Carl.
But I’ll tell you the whole town
turned out. It meant so much to
me to know that all those loyal
listeners remembered me and
would still want to see me. It
gave me such a wonderful feeling for Holdenville and I’ll never forget it.”
While in Holdenville, Anderson took time to drive around
and see familiar sites.
“It was really nice,” he said.
“We saw a lot of places, like the
hospital where our son John was
born. It seemed a lot bigger when
he was born there. It looked a lot
smaller when we went back to
visit (P&S Hospital on North
Bullitt Street).”
The last trip to Holdenville
was not nearly so sweet. Anderson was on vacation and decided to swing by Holdenville and
check out the old KVYL station
south of town. However, the
building is now vacant and the
license has been sold to another
owner in another town. Holdenville’s first radio station is but a
distance memory.
For Anderson, the trip to Holdenville provided a chance to see
the old station he helped open in
1963. He was not prepared for
what greeted him in the familiar
cow pasture south of town.
“It was about 3 or 4 years ago,”
he said. “I had a hard time finding it. When I got there, it was in
terrible shape. The building was
just an empty shell and the tower
was down. It was so sad to see.
I came back to see where everything really began for my career.
It was now in terrible shape.”
Anderson was surprised when
a man approached. The guy is
the current owner of the property where the radio station once
broadcast.
“I was looking at the place
and he came up with a gun,”
Anderson said. “He wanted to
know what I was doing there. I
told him I used to work there and
just wanted to come back to see
the place.”
The land owner introduced
himself and then asked one ques-

tion.
“Are you Cousin Carl?”
“Yes, I am,” he said, thrilled
the armed landowner had recognized him.
As it turned out, the famous
disc jockey had once interviewed the land owner on his
radio show many years ago.
The two men talked for a few
minutes and then it was time
for Anderson to leave for a final time. As Bill drove away,
he could see in his mirror a cow
pasture with a rundown concrete
block building. Time had destroyed the building. The dream
Don Hopson has realized almost
50 years earlier was now an eyesore.
“It was kind of sad to see it
in that condition,” Anderson
said. “I sure made a lot of great
memories in that place. I’ll be
forever thankful to the people of
Holdenville for being so loyal to
me when I worked at KVYL. I’ll
never forget the place.”
In a related note, Anderson felt
bad about the way he left Don
Hopson and the radio station. He
hoped for many years to find his
former boss.
“I just wanted to thank him
personally for all that he did
for me and my career,” he said.
“After years of looking, I finally
found out where he was living. I
called his home and spoke to his
wife, Mary, and then to him. I just
wanted to thank him for what he
had done for me, for allowing me
to make a good living and raise
my family. But Don wouldn’t accept it.”
“I didn’t have anything to do
with it,’ Hopson said. “It was
your talent that did it.”
Anderson strongly disagrees
with his old boss.
“I owe you so much,” he argued. “I would never have been
able to make it like I have without Don Hopson and the good
people of Holdenville. I am
proud of what has happened in
my career. But, as I said before,
it all really began for me and
Cousin Carl at the radio station
in Holdenville. Those were some
of the best years of my life.”

CLAUDINE MORELAND
HONORED MONDAY ON
TWELFTH BIRTHDAY
Claudine Moreland was honored Monday evening on her
twelfth birthday with a party
from four to six o’clock by her
mother, Mrs. C.R. Moreland, at
their home on S. Burgess.
The house was gaily decorated with the Christmas colors
and a lighted Christmas tree
stood in one corner of the living
room where the guests played
games and the lovely birthday
gifts were opened.
A beautifully decorated birthday cake centered the lace-covered table as the guests were
invited into the dining room
for refreshments by the hostess,
who was assisted with the serving by Miss Dorothy Fenneli.
The invited guests attending
were Neoma Middleton, Ber-
nice West, Iva White, Imogene
Bowers, Rita Mae Robinson,
Kathleen Meyer, Maxine Stanley, Wanda Lou wigs, and Carol
June McMorries.
Those who sent gifts were
Mrs. J.S. Meyer, Claudine
Couch, and Betty Sue Johnson.
GAS
DEALERS ARE
WARNED TO CHECK COUPON NUMBERS
A warning to service station
owners and operators against
violation of the gasoline rationing rules by selling gas on coupons that are not numbered to
correspond with the license of
the car services was issued Saturday by Chairman C.O. Lucas
of the gas rationing panel.
Information has reached the
rationing board, Lucas said, that
some stations have been delivering gas to cars on which the license plates did not correspond
to the numbers on the coupon
books.
This procedure is in strict violation of the Office of Price Administration order, Lucas pointed out. Its continuation subjects
the operator to withdrawal or
cancellation of his certificate of
permission to operate.
Lucas also called attention to
the necessity for car owners to
have their ration stickers fastened to their windshields.
“Several drivers have not followed this ruling to place in a
conspicuous place the sticker
which designates whether he has
an ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ coupon book,”
the panel chairman said.
IT’S THE ARMY FOR

JUNIOR HIGH JOTTINGS
Supt. J.W. Bell, in his visits to
Junior High rooms, stressed the
importance to the taxpayers, of
our getting to school on time.
Quote! “The taxpayer pays
money to send you to school
and three minutes lost every
morning soon mounts up”.
This is a loss to the students
as well as parents. The time
wasted during the school years
is often wanted in later years.
A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL
in second hour Algebra class,
being seized by a violent fit of
sneezing, was offered a small
bottle of spirits of ammonia and
instructed to smell it. The sneezing stopped and now several
students have armed themselves
with ammonia and Kleenex to
fight colds partly caused by the
“fire-less” rooms in Junior High.
A person checking on the heat
control stated that he thought the
building pleasantly warm. He
is near the boiler room. Maybe
the reason my grades are like
a thermometer is that they drop
with the cold. Also the amount
of students absent with colds or
flu is something to be thought
about.
ALTHOUGH MOST STUDENTS of Junior High purchase
defense stamps regularly at Senior high sales and down town,
the subject of selling them at
the Junior High office is under
consideration. The amount of
stamps and bonds purchased by
the students is estimated at running into the thousands of dollars. However a more positive
number will be determined in
the poll to be taken in the near
future. The amount of stamps
and bonds in possession of the
students will determine the fact
whether the sale of stamps will
be begun or not. If this is necessary the date will be the same as
in senior high.

council for junior high, especially since Jack Thrower
moved off and left the ninth
grade without a president. Pretty good idea, don’t you think?
And a pep club too, since senior
high seems too busy to pay any
attention to the Cubs even if
they did win their first and last
game. This is food for thought,
so, students and teachers, digest
it well?
NOTICE—The Camp Fire
Girls are selling Christmas
cards and would appreciate your
patronage . . . Also Mrs. Veach
and other teachers are selling
Christmas seals. This is for a
worthy cause and the money is
used right here in this county
for someone you might know.
ALL-STATE GRID HONOR
WON BY WAYNE BURD
Carrying the blue and gold
of the Holdenville Wolverines
into the ranks of all-state gridiron selections for the first time
since Jimmie Cain stepped into
the state limelight as a halfback
in 1932, Wayne Burd, speedy
HHS fullback, today was named
all-state fullback by the Daily
Oklahoman.
Burd will be a ball-carrier on
one of the four teams of “standout” high school football players chosen by sports officials of
the state, and probably will see
service for the South eleven in
the all-state grid contest, slated
for next spring.
Burd’s record this season,
in the opinion of many fans,
has topped all previous performances of Wolverine gridsters,
even that of Cain.
The 18-year-old, 175-pound
speed merchant ran and kicked
112 points for the Wolverines
this season, and has displayed
one of the most outstanding records of broken-field running
ever seen on the local grid-iron.
STONY POINT by Mamie
Lois Hardwick
The pie supper held Saturday
night proved to be very successful with #37.94 taken in. Anglin Huett received the cake for
the prettiest girl. Other contests
were won by Albert Ashbrook
who received the soap for being the ugliest man and Mr. and
Mrs. Wince Hanks for the sourest couple.
Proceeds will be used for
a community Christmas tree.
Mrs. Elvis Howell, Mrs. Wince
Hanks and Mrs. Luther Brake
are on the Christmas committee. No exact date has been set
for the Christmas tree.
Pvt. Tom Clemens has returned to his camp in Texas after a short furlough with friends
and relatives.
Lee Ola and Benny Joe
Linders of Beulah spent Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Louis
Linders.
Mrs. Memo Mitchell transacted business in Gerty Saturday.
Those attending the ball game
at Calvin Thursday night were
Salma Lee Middleton, Boyce
Glynn, Frank and Mary Ann
Sneed and Harold Hanks.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Milam of
Beulah spent Sunday with their
daughter, Mrs. Lisa Sneed and

T.E.L. CLASS ENJOYS
CHRISTMAS PARTY TUESDAY AFTERNOON
The dining room of the First
Baptist Church was the scene
of the annual Christmas social
and 1 o’clock luncheon of the
T.E.L. Sunday school class of
that church.
The song, “My Faith Looks

feature of the program followed
by each member repeating a Bible verse in answer to roll call.
Mrs. O. Hunt gave a prayer;
and then Mrs. Grace Higgins
read the devotionals from Isaiah
9:16.
The well-known Christmas
story “The Other Wise Man” by

friends” were drawn for the
coming year.

Cleo LeVally
The female Cardinal I saw
over a week ago has gone. I
saw her on the deck for two
days and then have not seen her
again. I am sure that she will
be back in the spring. Anyway,
I am hoping to attract other
birds, like the ones that used
to come around in the winter. I
am trying to attract them without the ground feeders that I
used for several years.
I used small boxes and
small food cans and used them
as molds for the bird food to
harden in. After mixing grain
and other items with the melted suet and poured into the
containers, it was put into the
refrigerator to harden. I used
the mesh bags that oranges,
tangerines, etc., came in to put
some of the food in and tied it
to a tree limb.
This is what I made up for
the small Finches. I put the suet
in a large pot over a very low
heat and melted it down.. After
letting it cool, I mixed 1 cup of
millet, ½ cup bread crumbs, ½
cup American cheese, cubed
and then added some sand for
grit. I used tuna cans to pour
this in. I used six inch nails to
nail these tins to trees around
the yard. I taped the exposed
end of the nails for these birds
to have a safe perch while they
ate.
Food for the Wrens was
made with 2 cups dried bread
crumbs, ½ cup coconut, 1 cup
raisins, 1 cup ground peanuts
or pecans, ½ tsp. sand and 1 ½
cups suet. Mix all the dry in-
gredients in a bowl, Pour 1 ½
cups of suet over this and pour
into boxes to mold. Refrigerate
to harden and then put into a
piece of net and secure to a tree
limb or post.
These are only some suggestions. Corn meal can be used instead of the sand. Peanut butter
can also be added if desired.
We do not have much snow
in Southern Oklahoma but to
have food out for them when it
does snow is gratifying. I know
that in the spring I will have
Robins, Mockingbirds, Doves,
more Sparrows and hopefully
the Blue Birds and others in the
yard. I know the Cardinals will
be back. They have not missed
a summer yet. Good luck if you
use any of these recipes for the
birds.
We had 8 “Moon “ players tonight! It’s hard to get everyone
together with illness, holidays
and cold weather. But when
we do, we do have fun!
At table #1 - Lynn Marquis
and Selma Fitzhugh played
against Geraldine Ingram and
Sharon Dilday. Sharon was on
a roll as she shot the moon 4
times! Yea! Sharon! She won
3 times and lost 1 time but they
still managed to win the game! No wonder I couldn’t get a good
hand! Sharon and Geraldine
won 6 games. Selma and Lynn
kept looking for Marie’s crying
towel. Go figure!
At table #2 - Janice Eller
and Loita Sharp played against
Norma Summy and Sue Wood. Janice and Loita won 3 games
and Norma and Sue won 5
games. This was a quieter table. I think that they even took turns
winning!
Oh, well! One hundred years
from now, no one will remember who won or who lost. It’s
how you play the game, right?!
Selma brought a delicious
cheese ball and crackers! When
you loose your mo-jo, getting
up to get something to eat helps! Thanks, Selma!
Come and join us next Monday night! You will have a good
time, I promise!

Service Friday For Frances “Imogene” Higgins
Frances “Imogene” Higgins
April 23, 1931 ~ December
11, 2012
Frances “Imogene” Higgins
was welcomed into the loving
arms of her Lord and Savior
on December 11, 2012 at the
age of 81.
Imogene was
born
April
23, 1931 in
Hughes County, Oklahoma
to her parents,
Ernest
and
Roma (Harwell) Allen.
On November
5, 1949, Imogene married
the love of her
life, Carl Gene
Higgins on a
family farm in
Hughes County, Oklahoma.
This union of marriage was
blessed with two children, Lynn
and Carla. Imogene was truly a
Proverbs 31 woman. A wonderful and creative homemaker, Imogene was an amazingly
good cook, skilled seamstress,
and a master of Do-It-Yourself
projects including landscaping,
bricking a fireplace, home restoration, refinishing furniture,
and upholstery, just to name a
few of her many talents. She
blessed so many people with
her talent, time and friendship.
She had a heart for serving
the Lord and others. She was
a longtime member of Shartel
Church of God. Although it
breaks our hearts for Imogene
to leave us now, we rejoice in
knowing we will be reunited
with her in Heaven someday
and she has received her eternal
reward. Imogene was preceded
in death by her parents. Imogene leaves cherished memories with her loving husband of
63 years, Carl
Gene Higgins
of the home;
son, Steven
“Lynn” Higgins and his
wife, Barbara
of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; daughter, Carla Scott
and her husband, Randy
of Edmond,
Oklahoma; 4
grandchildren:
Ben Higgins
and his wife,
Samantha of
Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Brian
Higgins and his wife, Abby of
Yukon, Oklahoma, Meredith
Scott and Macall Scott, both
of Edmond, Oklahoma; 4 great
grandsons: Jackson, Tyson,
Steven and Lleyton Higgins,
all of Poplar Bluff, Missouri;
many beloved brothers and
sisters-in-law, numerous nieces
and nephews, countless cousins, and many loving friends.
Viewing will be at the Vondel
Smith & Son Mortuary at South
Lakes from 4-8 PM Thursday
with the family greeting friends
from 6-8 PM. Services to celebrate her life will be 11:00 AM
Friday, December 14, 2012 at
