Area seniors will received much advice this month, however
my favorite senior address offered the following advice to the
graduates that are now heading into the real world . . .
Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The
world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel
good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high
school. You won’t be a vice-president until you earn it.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a
boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
grandparents had a different word for burger flipping, they call it
opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t
whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring
as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning
your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought
you were. So, before you save the rain forest from the parasites
of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own
room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and
losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished
failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want
to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance
to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get
summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you
FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually
have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working
for one.
—CC—
If I might offer a small bit of advice to seniors on what they
should choose in life . . . CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY!
Andy Andrews recently wrote, ”Beginning this very moment.
I am a happy person, for I now truly understand the concept of
happiness.

Til Judgment Day
Today we continue with Chapter 7 of the H. Lee Graham book
highlighting his growing-up days
in Holdenville. It brings back a
lot of memories, and we hope
our readers are enjoying it.
My parents bought a house
across town in the Park View
section in 1923. It was on the
corner of 824 South Broadway,
an address I’ll remember until
I die. Two blocks east, at the
end of Thomas Street, were the
Hughes County Fairgrounds.
Besides exhibit buildings and a
mule barn, the fairgrounds had
an athletic field and a covered
grandstand. “Boy, Harmon,”
I said, “circuses, carnivals and
fairs! We’re gonna have a bunch
of fun here.”
“Yeah!” My brother swung
an imaginary bat at an imaginary
ball. “And there’ll be baseball
and football, too.”
Our fun would not be limited to
the fairgrounds, though. Across
Thomas Street to the south was
a nine-hole golf course. South
Broadway ended at a wooden
stile that crossed a wire fence to
the sprawling green links.
The caddies gathered in our
front yard daily to await the golfers, and we began to soak up the
tales they told. Lounging in the
shade of the big cottonwood trees,
the teenage boys talked about the
town golfers: who was good and
who was lousy, who was generous and who was a skinflint.
Though we had never had a
golf club in our hands, Harmon
and I heard about drivers, spoonies, mashies, the numbered irons
and putters, and what each was
used for.
Because school was out for the
summer, more caddies than golfers usually showed up. When I
said I wanted to caddie, too, the
boys laughed at me.
“You’re not even as long as a
golf club, twerp,” one scoffed.
“Gotta wait’ll you’re big and
strong like me.” He flexed his
puny biceps.
A CREEK INDIAN BOY
named Jack Marks became Harmon’s and my newest playmate.
Dusky and handsome, Jack was
four or five years older than I.
He and his widowed mother and
two of his older brothers lived in
a large two-story house behind
the clubhouse.
Their home sat at an angle to
Thomas Street. The caddies
called it the Crazy House; Jack
laughed when I asked him why.
“Because it’s the only house in
town that’s not square with the
streets,” he said. “My Papa had
it laid out according to the compass, north and south, east and
west. If anything’s crazy, it’s the
rest of this town.
I glanced at my house with a
frown. It was painted light yellow and had three gables and a
peaked roof. “Don’t see nothing
wrong with our house, Jack.”
His white teeth flashed as he
laughed again. “I didn’t mean
there was, Aitchey. It’s just that
streets don’t run north and south
here like they do in most towns.
The Rock Island and Frisco railroads cross like an X here in
Hughes County, and Holdenville grew up along the tracks.”
He tossed a rock at a street sign.
“South Broadway’s not south, it’s
southwest. East Main’s not east.
It’s southeast.
“The town was founded by Mr.
Roderick, Mr. McShan (George
Chesnutt’s uncle), and my PAPA.
John Jacobs sold them the land.
He was a Creek Indian, like
Dad, and he called the town
Echo. Know what that means in
Country Comments
Continued from Page A-2
Few others before me have been able to grasp the truth of the
physical law that enables one to live happily every day. I know
now that happiness is not an emotional phantom floating in and
out of my life. Happiness is a choice. Happiness is the end result
of certain thoughts and activities, which actually bring about a
chemical reaction in my body. This reaction results in a euphoria,
which, while elusive to some, is totally under my control.
Today I will choose to be happy. I will greet each day with
laughter.
Within moments of awakening, I will laugh for seven seconds.
After even such a small period of time, excitement has begun to
flow through my bloodstream. I feel different. I am different! I
am enthusiastic about the day. I am alert to its possibilities. I am
happy!
Laughter is an outward expression of enthusiasm, and I know
that enthusiasm is the fuel that moves the world. I laugh throughout
the day. I laugh while I am alone, and I laugh in conversation with
others. People are drawn to me because I have laughter in my heart.
The world belongs to the enthusiastic for people will follow them
anywhere!
Today I will choose to be happy. I will smile at every person I
meet.
My smile has become my calling card. It is, after all, the most
potent weapon I possess. My smile has the strength to forge bonds,
break ice, and calm storms. I will use my smile constantly. Because
of my smile, the people with whom I come in contact on a daily
basis will choose to further my causes and follow my leadership.
I will always smile first. That particular display of a good attitude
will tell others what I expect in return.
My smile is the key to my emotional make up. A wise man once
said, “I do not sing because I am happy; I am happy because I
sing!” When I choose to smile, I become the master of my emotions.
Discouragement, despair, frustration, and fear will always wither
when confronted by my smile. The power of who I am is displayed
when I smile.
Today I will choose to be happy. I am the possessor of a grateful
spirit.
In the past, I have found discouragement in particular situations,
until I compared the condition of my life to others less fortunate.
Just as a fresh breeze cleans smoke from the air, so does a grateful
spirit remove the cloud of despair. It is impossible for the seeds of
depression to take root in a thankful heart.
My God has bestowed upon me many gifts, and for these I will
remember to be grateful. Too many times I have offered up the
prayers of a beggar, always asking for more and forgetting my
thanks. I do not wish to be seen as a greedy child, unappreciative,
and disrespectful. I am grateful for sight and sound and breath. If
ever in my life there is a pouring out of blessings beyond that, then
I will be grateful for the miracle of abundance.
I will greet each day with laughter. I will smile at every person I
meet. I am the possessor of a grateful spirit.
Today, I will choose to be happy.

Creek?”
“No, but we used to live on
Echo.”
“It means deer. But the white
men decided to name the town
after a railway boss named Holden. To make Mr. Jacobs feel better, they named one of the streets
Echo.”
THANKS TO A DRUNKEN
DRUGGIST names J.R. Dutton,
I didn’t have to wait long to be
employed as a caddie. He drove
out to shoot an afternoon round
of golf a Sunday or two later. No
caddies were around because the
City Council had ruled that Sunday golf was a sin and ordered
the manager to keep the clubhouse shut. But Mr. Dutton was
too full of bootleg hooch to realize it was Sunday.

supply the completion lateral of a horizontal well drilled in a horizontal well unit
shall be located not less than 165 feet from any north/south unit boundary and not
less than 330 feet from any east/west unit boundary.
The entire length of the lateral will be cemented such that the perforations will

the Commission to approve the multiunit horizontal well involved herein and to
establish a proper allocation factor for allocating the cost of and the production and
proceeds from such multiunit horizontal well to each of the units affected thereby.
The “land sections adjacent to the area within the location exception” requested
herein in Section 33 in regard to the subsurface location tolerance areas described
above are Section 33 in regard to the subsurface location tolerance areas described
above are Sections 34, 27 and 28 Township 7 North, Range 11 East and Sections
4 and 3, Township 6 North, Range 11 East all in Hughes County, Oklahoma. The
other “land sections” surrounding Section 33 are Sections 29 and 32, Township
7 North, Range 11 East and Section 5, Township 6 North, Range 11 East all in
Hughes County, Oklahoma.
That the Applicant be permitted to drill and produce said well at said location for
the Mississippian, Woodford, Hunton and Sylvan common sources of supply
without any downward allowable adjustments and designate Applicant or some
other party as operator.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that this cause will be heard before an
Administrative Law Judge on the Initial Hearing Docket at the Corporation

Dayna’s Desk
I want to apologize to our
good friend Len Pruitt for not
being able to make his reunion
when he came to Holdenville.
Bill went and really enjoyed
visiting with everyone.
Recently, Len sent this note
about Mother’s Day and I wanted
to share it with our readers. My
apologies for not having this in
a column last week before the
event. We always enjoy hearing
from you, Len!!
I was born October thirty
first (Halloween) 1941. Two
mothers brought me into this
world alone, my mother and
my grandmother. We lived eight
miles north of Holdenville and
seven miles west of Wetumks on
our little Salt Creek farm. There
was a massive flood in Hughes
County on that date and most,
if not all, creeks were flooded.
Salt Creek, (now Long George
Creek) and Wewoka Creek We
were surrounded on all sides by
fast moving water, no way out
or in if something went wrong.
My two brothers and two sisters
went to our neighbors the,
McCoys to spend the night.
My Grandmother Noe and my
Mother, with help from my
father delivered me.
When I was older I asked
my mother, Weren’t you scared
she said no. She said that she
was excited and happy that she
and her mother were bringing a
little miracle into this world to
love and take care of and it was
me. That made me feel pretty
special. I never doubted the love
of my mother or grandmother
or my aunt Ress. She was my
mother’s sister.
My aunt Ress and Uncle
A.G. bought our salt creek farm
and I would ride the bus from
Yeager after we moved there
and ride the bus back to school
on Monday. I would spend
weeks when school was out. I
didn’t find out until I was grown
that my aunt Ress lost her only
child at birth on October thirty
first, the same as my birthday. I
feel privileged to have had three
mothers and unconditional love.
My friends and I would talk
growing up about where we
were born and who delivered
us. Their response would be
Dr. Pryor at Holdenville or Dr
Wenrick from Wetumka and
mine was my Grandmother
which always got a laugh. Your
Grandmother!! I didn’t go into
the facts that my Grandmother
was a Midwife who had seven
daughters two sons and had
successfully delivered dozens of her own off spring plus hundreds
of other babies in Newton
County Arkansas, where Merle
Haggard’s Grandma Harp lived
She wasn’t with my aunt Ress
when she lost her baby, she was
with some other mother and I
don’t know if it was mine. My
Grandmother had an amazing
success record for over fifty
years in both Oklahoma and
Arkansas she would be sent
for by a fast buggy and later by
car to help a mother in trouble
trying to deliver her baby. The
word was, we better get Mollie
Noe.
Grandmother was born
handicapped her left arm was
shorter and smaller than her
right but she could use that tiny
hand for so many things. Maybe
it wasn’t a handicapped, maybe
it was a gift.
Paul Harvey wrote an article
that is absolutely beautiful. God
made a farmer. You could add
for every time he said God made
a farmer, for every farmer God
made a mother, wife, daughter,
sister, to all become mothers
Peace of Mind
and that’s what our wonderful
Peace of Heart
women do. May God bless our
Peace of Soul
mothers on their special day.

funniest story about my great
niece Allison “Alli” Robinson.
She recently decided she wanted
to play with the little potty
training seat that her mother had
hanging on the wall by the toilet
in the bathroom. While she was
sitting there she decided to put it
on her head, of all things! Well,
it slipped down around her neck
and got stuck! Her grandmother,
Kelly decided instead of taking
her to the ER she would taker
her to the Fire Department. The
three firemen were so patient and
careful trying to get this off, but
it just wouldn’t give! Finally,
they cranked up the Jaws of
Life and cut it off of her! Can
you imagine being 5 years old
and seeing these big cutters
coming at you!! Even though
it was a little scary for Alli, we
all got a huge laugh out of it.
I’m glad they video taped the
whole thing – I wouldn’t have
missed it for the world!

I had a call from our friend

James lived in Horntown

We had a great visit and were
glad to hear from him.

I also had a call from our
good friend Fran Greenhaw. She
said her brother Edward had
fallen off a ladder and hit his
head. He had been in the Baptist
hospital for 14 days at that time
with cerebrial hemorage. She
had talked to his wife Judy and
she said was slowly improving.
Please keep Edward in your
prayers.

authorizing and permitting an exception to the permitted well location
tolerances in the 640-acre horizontal drilling and spacing unit formed
in Section 27, Township 7 North, Range 11 East, Hughes County,
Oklahoma for the Mississippian, Woodford, Hunton and Sylvan separate
common sources of supply, so as to allow, in part, a well, being a
proposed multiunit horizontal well, to be drilled.

Til Judgment Day by H. Lee Graham
Mr. Dutton was George Chesnutt’s new boss. I had seen him
at his drug store and at the golf
course a few times. He had a
reputation of being a liberal tipper when he played golf, especially when he was tanked up. I
rushed across the street to offer
my services.
“Need a caddie, Mr. Dunn?”
Unperturbed about being
called by the wrong name, he
studied me through bleary eyes.
“Kinda little, aren’t you, kid?”
“No, Sir!” I assured him. “I’m
bigger than I look.”
“Humph. Think you can keep
your eye on the ball when I knock
a long drive?”
“Yes, sir! My dad calls me old
Owl-Eyes, because I can see like
a hawk,” I bragged.
Mr. Dutton didn’t seem all that
impressed, but he handed me his
golf bag and took a handful of
sand from the tee box to tee up a
ball. “Gimme the driver.”
I wondered if the woodenheaded club I handed him was
a driver or a spoonie, but he accepted it without comment. He
swung at the ball, missed and
stepped on it. When he had teed
up with sand again, he swung and
made contact. The ball hooked
off the fairway into a clump of
tall weeds. I tore out after it.
Mr. Dutton staggered after me.
“See it, Kid?”
I crawled around in the weeds
feeling for the ball. “It lit right
here somewhere, I think.”
Mr. Dutton beat about in the
dust weeds with his club. “Let
it go,” he muttered, stifling a
sneeze. After he had waded out
of the weeds, he dropped a new
ball in short grass. His swing
was powerful and the face of the
club met the ball squarely, drilling it down the middle of the
fairway.
I felt responsible for the loss
of the first ball and prayed as I
chased after the second one that it
wouldn’t fall into a gopher hole.
After a brief search, I found it
a few yards short of the putting
green, and Mr. Dutton grunted
his approval.
He undercut the ball with a
seven-iron, digging out a sizable
divot. To his apparent surprise,
the ball dropped into the circular
“green” (which was made of fine
sand), and he sank it with two or
three putts.
The few puffy clouds in the
sky offered little protection from
the blazing sun, and Mr. Dutton
had begun to sweat. He took his
cap off and mopped his face with
a handkerchief, then continued
his game.
Small wonder that he didn’t
mark his scorecard, because he
bogeyed every hole. I dragged
his heavy golf bag all over the
nine-hole course, puffing to keep
up.
He sliced a ball toward a
clump of persimmon trees. It
hit a tree branch and bounced
into the creek. Being barefoot, I
waded into the muddy water and
grappled for the ball.
“Might as well let it go, kid.”
Mr. Dutton wiped his face again
and stuffed the handkerchief back
into his pocket. “You wouldn’t
find it if you looked all day.”
He smacked another ball into
a patch of yellow wild flowers.
Again, I searched in vain.
“Let that one go, too,” he said
thickly. “I’ve still got a couple
more.”
After multi-putting the ball into
the cup on the ninth green, he relieved me of his bag of clubs.
I was apprehensive about the
three lost balls, wondering if he
would try to make me pay for
them. But he fumbled through
the change in his pocket and
handed me a silver quarter.
“Oh, boy!” I shouted with
joy. “Two bits!” It was the most
money I had ever possessed at
one time.l
Thanking my benefactor profusely, I dashed home.
MY BROTHER WAS IN THE
BARNYARD, practicing a ropespinning trick he had seen in the
movies.
“Let’s go to the Little Store,
Harmon!” I yelled. “I got candy
and soda pop money!”
Quickly coiling the hemp lariat rope and hanging it on the
gate, he ran to catch up with me.
“Where’d you get the money,
H?”
“Caddying.”
“Wish I could caddie.”
It was my turn to play big shot.
“You can when you get older and
bigger,” I said.
“Aw, go on? I’m as big as you
right now.”
The store was two blocks up
Broadway, across from Park
View Elementary School, which
was being reconstructed from the
old high school building.
When we arrived, we found
a CLOSED sign in the window.
Holdenville’s blue laws also prohibited stores from doing business on Sundays. Neither of
us could read yet, but that was
a word we could recognize. In
the past, old Pop had refused to
open when I had only a penny to
spend. But I had heard he would
throw the doors open wide for a
nickel or a dime. I squared my
shoulders, took a deep breath and
rapped on the door.
Pop glared through the glass
at me. “It’s Sunday. Whatcha
want, anyways?”
“Will you sell me something
for this?” I opened my sweaty
hand.
Pop looked at the gleaming
coin, and his sweetest smile
erased the frown. “Of course,
young feller, come right in.”
Harmon and I went inside and
pressed our noses against the
glass showcase, savoring the
sweet odors. I licked my lips as
I studied the boxes filled with
coconut-covered marshmallows;
black and red licorice whips; red,
yellow, green and purple all-day
suckers and jawbreakers; paper-wrapped Banana Caramels,
Chocolate Soldiers and Uncle
Sam’s Kisses; and Baby Ruth,
Cake Eater and Malteaser bars.
Harmon tapped the glass with
his forefinger. “Cake Eater and a
Coke,” he specified.
“Mother says Cokes are bad
for us,” I said. “Eat your stomach up.”
“Yeah, but she never told me
not to drink one.”
I gave Pop my quarter, and
he handed Harmon the chocolate bar. “He’p yourself to the
sody.”
I chose a Malteaser and a bottle of strawberry pop. “Still got
a nickel to go, Harmon.”
“Why don’t you save it, H?”
“Save it?” His suggestion startled me. “Maybe next time.”
I studied the candy counter for
another delicious moment. “I’ll
take two Banana Caramels, two
Uncle Sam’s Kisses, two Chocolate Soldiers…”
“That’s three cents,” Pop said.
“They’s two fer a penny.”
A fact I knew as well as he
did.
“And a red wineball and a stick
of Oh Boy Gum,” I added.
“I get half,” Harmon said.
Stuffing the penny candies into
my pocket, I tore the wrapper of
my candy bar and bit off a piece.
I relished the rich malt flavor as I
fished my bottle of pop out of the
ice water.
“You can have half if you’ll
give me that police whistle you
found in Judge Langston’s trash
the other day,” I said.
Harmon took a swallow of
Coke and shook his head. “You
can blow it anytime you want,
H., but I’m keeping it.”
“About what I figured you’d
say.” I split the wrapped candies
with him grudgingly, but kept
the wineball for myself and gave
him the gum. “Be sure you remember this next time you count
Dad’s money.”
A CADDIE WALKING PAST
THE No. 1 green one morning
stopped and began to jump up
and down, screaming shrilly.
“Snake! Snake!”
Martha Marks, Jack’s mother,
was scrubbing clothes in a wash
tub in her back yard. She heard
the frightened boy and ran to his
aid.
The snake coiled tighter, hissing as Mrs. Marks advanced.
She crouched and feinted with
her left hand. The snake struck
at the air. Quickly seizing it by
the tail with her right hand, she
swung it around her head and
popped it like a bullwhip. The
snake’s triangular head snapped
off and landed twenty yards or
more down the fairway.
“Copperhead,” she said.
“Plenty poison.”
I nodded in awe as she tossed
the snake aside and walked
away.
“Do all Indians kill snakes that
way, Jack?” I asked.
“Not me, Aitchey. I use a
club.”
ALTHOUGH ONLY FOUR,
Harmon was an accomplished
extortionist. His strategy was
to nail Dad after supper, while
we were in the living room. Not
many evenings after our trip to
the Little Store, he waylaid him
again.
“Time for me to count your
money, Dad.”
Harmon dipped his hand into
our amused father’s denim jumper and deftly removed his leather
pocket book. Snapping it open,
he sat on the floor and stacked
the coins and bills on the linoleum according to their denominations. Almost unnoticed, he
slipped a silver half-dollar into
his pocket. Then he condescendingly flipped me a buffalo nickel.
The embezzlement completed,
he returned the remainder of the
money to the pocket book.
“You’ve got about nine dollars
and fifty or thirty cents,” Harmon
announced.
It worked. Dad smiled and
stuck the pocket-book back into
his jumper. Not once did he ever
stop the little bandit from shaking him down. I never tried it,
because I didn’t think I was slick
enough to pull it off.
Insulted that he had only given
me a nickel, I tried to think of a
scheme to beat Harmon out of
the fifty-cent piece.
“Sell you my scooter for half a
buck,” I said.
“You already traded it for my
piece of sweet potato pie last
Sunday.”
“How about my windup
truck?”
The spring’s broke. Look, H.,
I don’t care what you’re selling. I’m gonna buy me a aviator
cap.”
I gave up in disgust, hoping
Mr. Dutton would come out to
shoot another round of Sunday
golf and hire me to caddie for
him. When that happened, old
stingy Harmon could just watch
me eat the whole quarter’s worth
of candy while he starved.
ONE EVENING WHILE
HARMON, Jack Marks and I
were playing hide-and-go-seat
(as we called it), I hid behind a
feed trough in our barnyard. But
Jack spotted an old trunk behind
the smokehouse and motioned
for me to hop in.
“This is a perfect hideout,
Aitchey,” he whispered. “Harmon won’t find you if he hunts
all night.”
Convinced that he was right,
I climbed inside, and he closed
the lid. To my horror, the oxygen supply was exhausted within seconds, and my lungs felt
as if they would burst. I tried
to scream but was unable to utter a sound. I pushed on the lid
with both hands, but it wouldn’t
budge.
In desperation, I put my back
against the lid and strained to
stand up. Suddenly, a steel garden plow Jack had laid on the
trunk fell off, and the lid flew
open. He had been sitting on the
heavy plow, unaware that I was
smothering. Not until he got off
was I able to break free.

One Pharmacist’s View...by Wayne Bullard, Pharm D
We slept with all our
windows raised — hoping
that a breeze would come
along and push some of the
heat out of the old house. It
usually did. We didn’t have
any electric fans and for that
matter, no electricity. I guess
that’s why I noticed that the
coughing had stopped over
across the road that summer
morning in 1939. For what
seemed like forever, we had
listened to the little girl next
door cough her life away
with Whooping Cough — a
fairly common child killer in
those days. Now there were
a lot of cars and wagons
strung up and down the little
dirt street.
Back then we knew
all about our neighbor’s
sicknesses and most of their
other business. It’s just the
way it was when everyone
had their windows open.
When people had heard
about the tragedy they
had hurried over to bring
whatever comfort they could
— bringing items such as
food and sometimes a little
money gift to help out with
the funeral. The people in
Centrahoma were very poor
but always trying to help
each other. That’s just the
way it was back then.
Back then we could hear
the conversations next door
if we pleased and sometimes
when we didn’t please. We
could hear when a family
fussed and when someone
was sick and the good ladies
of the house would know
when to go over and offer to
help sit up with a sick baby or
other family member. That’s
the way it was back then —
folks keeping track of their
neighbors and looking after
one another.
Centrahoma was one of
those little towns that had
fewer people each and every
year until it about hit ghost
town status. Like a lot of
other people dad eventually
had other opportunities and
we moved away. We moved
into a better house and in
a few more years we had
accumulated a few electric
fans and a little thing called
a TV set. We still raised the
windows up and neighbors
still visited and kept track of
one another, but there was
that distraction — the TV.
Life was good, we thought
at night when we laid down
and about all you could hear
was the fan.
A few years later my wife
and I purchased our first air
conditioner. We thought it
would be nice for our new
baby and I suppose it was.
We put those windows down
and they’ve seldom been
up since. I’ve lived with
central heat and air so long
I can hardly remember or
imagine what it was like to
have the windows up and
lay in bed at night and hear
the neighborhood. Long
ago, the sounds of a baby
crying, croaking of frogs
and crickets singing or of
the train going through were
welcomed night sounds but
now they’re just something
to annoy.
As I ponder my creature
comforts
and
modern
conveniences and wonder
who lives in all these houses
in my little town of Allen, I
have to admit I really don’t
know.
But sometimes I
wonder how it would be
if I did? Maybe we could
have a big block party and
put on name tags and get
acquainted — and then we
can go back in our nearly
sound-proof houses with
closed windows and flick on
our HD TV and Central Air.
Perhaps I’ll take a notebook
to the party so I can write
down their names. It’s hard
to keep up with things like
that when the windows are
shut.
Have a good weekend and
next time you’re walking
about town you may wish
to slow down and introduce
yourself to people on their
porches or as they do their
walk. You’ll both be glad
you did — I think.
I hope you have a good
weekend and be sure and go
to church Sunday. And if
you do go walking about, I
hope you don’t get mugged
and you may want to lock
your door when you’re out.

Til Judgment Day
ONE OF THE CADDIES BROUGHT along a pocketful of .30-caliber ammunition one morning when they congregated in my front
yard. “Army bullets from the World’s War,” he bragged. “M’ big
brother was a machine-gunner.”
“Did he shoot Germans with them bullets?” asked a boy, wideeyed.
“Course he did. That’s what they was for, ain’t it? Smuggled a
beltful of ‘em home from France when he got mustered out.”
After the other caddies had examined the brass-jacketed cartridges,
I was allowed to look at one. “I could sure have fun with this in my
popgun!” I exclaimed.
The owner glanced at me. “Got any money?”
“Huh-uh, but my sister might give me a penny.”
“Git one, and I’ll give you two bullets for it.”
Tommy Lou was broke, but Mother paid me a penny to carry out
the trash. I bought the ammunition and gave one round to Harmon.
Our popguns were designed to shoot cork projectiles. To cock the
gun, a metal plunger was jacked back. When the trigger was pulled,
the plunger shot forward, ejecting the cork from the barrel. Even
Mother considered the guns harmless.
But .30-caliber bullets weren’t meant to be fired in popguns, a fact
that didn’t occur to Harmon or me. I inserted my bullet into the
muzzle of my popgun and drew a bead on him. The toy gun would
propel a cork fifteen or twenty feet, but the machine-gun bullet was
so heavy that it traveled no more than a yard or two when I pulled
the trigger.
“Hah, you missed me!” Harmon taunted.
I ducked behind the cottonwood tree as he threw down on me and
yanked the trigger.
BOOM! The tolled-iron gun barrel disintegrated in an orange flash.
Harmon’s jaw dropped, and he stood in stunned silence.
I jumped out from behind the tree. “Hey, you ain’t hurt are you?”
He shook his head, sniffing the unfamiliar odor of burned cordite.
“Huh-uh, but my ears are ringing like jingle bells.”
The bigger boys gathered around him to inspect his ruined gun.
“Who’d a thought a cork gun would shoot a damn ‘chine-gun-bullet?” one of them mused.
“What happened to the slug?” wondered another.
Everyone began to pick through the short grass. After a bit, Harmon found the copper-jacketed slug a few feet from the scene of the
explosion. He clutched it in his fat little fist and raced toward the
front door. A big boy hit him with a flying tackle, and he let out a
bloodcurdling scream.
Mother came to the door. “What’s this all about?” she demanded.
“Nothin’,” Harmon’s tormentor said. “We was just playin’.”
“Well, you leave him alone, young man, or I’ll make you wish you
were just playing.”
Grinning like an imp and still clutching the slug, Harmon followed
Mother into the house.
My dreams of striking it rich as a caddie were shattered when I
learned that Mont Fream, an oil-rich farmer, had bought the golf
course and planned to close it and build houses on the land.
