Are the modern day “gadgets” an improvement over the old time “gadgets?” Joe Queenan shares his thoughts on that issue . . .

The Cutting Edge Genius Of Old Gadgets I am dying of thirst because the hapless man in front of me in line is having trouble with his debit card. The way the hapless man in front of me in line is always having trouble with his debit card.

“Where do I punch in my password?” he asks the cashier. I stand behind him, bottled water in hand, dying of thirst, clutching a $5 bill.

“How do I erase it if I made a mistake?” he asks the cashier. I stand behind him, clutching my bottled water and a $5 bill, dying of thirst.

“Oh, I think I do want cash back,” he says. “Should I start all over?”

I stand there behind him, clutching my bottled water and my $5 bill. And a thought occurs to me. What if debit cards had been invented first and cash was invented later? Wouldn’t the person who brought the long green to market be treated with the same reverence as Marconi or Edison or Gutenberg?

“Wait a minute! There’s no password required?” a shocked debit-card user might say, disbelievingly, using cash for the first time.

“No. You just hand them a piece of paper and they give you change.”

“And there’s no way you can swipe the bill the wrong way? And there’s no way your request can be denied because you don’t have enough cash in your bank account? And there are no overdraft fees?”

“No, no and no.”

“And there’s no way some perfidious cabal of depraved Eastern European gangsters can steal your password and empty your bank account, reducing you

to abject penury?”

“No way.”

“Gee. Why didn’t somebody think of that sooner?”

This is the very crux of the enigma. If cash had been invented after debit cards, the public would welcome it as one of the great time-saving innovations of all time. They might feel the same way about the telephone. “ Wait a minute! You mean to tell me that there’s a device that not only allows me, but requires me, to actually talk to my girlfriend, instead of texting her?”

“That’s what I’m telling you.”

“So I can hear her voice?

Actually hear her sultry, smoky, breathy voice while she’s thousands of miles away?”

“That’s right.”

“So I can scream at my kid when he tells me that he’s backpacking through Iraq with a bunch of garishly attired mimes and a perky Swiss lutenist?

Instead of texting him MEGO? Or LOL?” “ You heard it here first.” “ And I won’t get repetitive stress syndrome or arthritis in my fingers or blisters on my thumb by talking to people on the phone?”

“Precisely.”

“And I won’t accidentally type ‘I wish you were her’ when I meant to type ‘I wish you were here,’ thereby bringing my fledgling romance to an abrupt and rather tragic demise?”

“The technology was devised specifically to preclude such mishaps.”

“Gee. Why didn’t somebody invent that before?”

There are many, many devices or traditions or foods superseded by exciting new inventions that in some ways are inferior to the thing they rendered obsolete.

What if Caesar salads had been invented after kale?

What if sound systems with powerful speakers and booming bass had been invented after tinny MP3 players?

What if department stores where you can actually try on the shoes had been invented after online shopping?

What if Mustangs followed Priuses, and ice cream arrived after frozen yogurt? What if real beer that packs a wallop and actually has a detectable taste had been invented after lite beer? Wouldn’t everyone stand up and pay attention?

Let’s not even talk about lovingly crafted, beautifully illustrated, limited editions of “Romeo and Juliet” being invented after e-books. Let’s just leave that topic alone.

— Joe Queenan The Wall Street Journal —CC— Christmas time is so special to so many . . . especially those that know what it is like to not have toys, food or . . . freedom . . .

On Dec. 6, 1942, 10 German soldiers marched into Rekowka, a Polish village 90 miles south of Warsaw.

They’d received a tip from some locals that two families, the Skoczylas and Kosiorows, were sheltering Jews. When the Germans apprehended the families in their shared house, all but four of its inhabitants were at home. The soldiers spotted a trapdoor in the kitchen, which opened to a small, but empty, hiding place. They demanded that the families reveal the whereabouts of the stowaways, but nobody would talk. The soldiers took them to the barn behind the house, locked them inside and burned them alive. When two of the boys tried to escape, they were shot in the back.

Almost 72 years later, in August 2014, a cultural investigator named Jonny Daniels lifted that trapdoor for the first time since the surviving family members sealed it off years ago. He lowered himself down a ladder into a dark, damp space, with no light source and a floor covered with straw. He didn’t know it at the time, but he had uncovered the only known World War II hiding place for Jews that has remained intact and undisturbed since the end of the war.

On Thursday, after a year of negotiations and research, the space became an official heritage site in Poland, the only one of its kind. The hope is that by featuring the haven, shadows cast over Poland in the wake of the war will be lightened by the humanity of families like the Skoczylas and Kosiorows.

A great-grandson of Holocaust survivors, Mr. Daniels is the founder of “From the Depths”, a nonprofit organization that locates tombstones poached from Jewish cemeteries to pave roads or construct walls, in an effort to weave back together the torn tapestry of Eastern European Jewish life. Mr. Daniels and his team were working in the town of Zwolen in 2014 when they heard rumors about a Polish family in a nearby village whose members had sacrificed themselves for the Jews they hid.

Mr. Daniels looked into the site’s history. The entire Kosiorow family burned in the barn, but the descendants of the surviving Skoczylas sons live on the farm today. Martin Skoczylas, the 33-year-old grandson of one of the survivors, showed Mr. Daniels the spot, and recounted that all 10 Jews hiding in the basement were miraculously absent for the raid – they would leave on occasion to look for food in the woods. After that day in 1942, no one knows what became of them. Mr. Skoczylas and his family later assumed they had seen the barn fire and fled.

“It is my dream,” Mr. Skoczylas said, “that we will be able to fin and meet descendants of the Jews that they saved.” An unlikely scenario, given the three years they would have had to survive before the war ended, but the family is still hopeful. “My family helped Jews, but did not expect anything in return,” said Mr. Skoczylas.

“They did not think about the danger involved or the possible consequences.”

Such an act of self-sacrifice might seem stunning today, but others did the same. Sir Nicholas Winton saved 669 children by sending them by train from Prague to London before the borders closed in 1939, but his story came to light only when a family friend leaked it to the

BBC in 1988. Later that year, he was featured on a episode of BBC’s “That’s Life!” When the show’s host asked the studio audience, “Is there anyone here who owes their life to Nicholas Winton?” everyone rose.

He died earlier this month at age 106, and there are a reported 6,000 descendants of the children he saved.

Rafal Nadolny, the conservator of monuments in Poland’s Mazovia province, hurried along the paperwork.

“I think that this kind of place, which is a material trace of the events surrounding the Second World War, deserves special protection and . . . future generations will be able to personally touch such a site.” (In 1999, a similar space was unearthed behind a cupboard in a Warsaw flat and registered with the conservation office, but tenants destroyed it in 2013 and faced up to 10 years in prison.)

Mr. Skoczylas is as eager to share his family’s story as he is overwhelmed by its emotional repercussions.

When Mr. Daniels invited Mr. Skoczylas into the crawl space last year, he was met with hesitation and then a no. “It was too heavy for them,” Mr. Daniels remembers. “Martin came down a few steps but then went right back up, his face was white.”

The tension felt by the Skoczylas family, Mr. Daniels explained, bubbled over in 2012 when President Obama referred to a “Polish death camp” during a ceremony at the White House honoring the late Jan Karski, a hero of Polish resistance to the Nazis. Mr. Skoczylas bristled at the statement: “Doesn’t he know so many people were killed here because they helped the Jews?”

Threads of Life

by Cleo LeVally

by Cleo Emerson LeVally The past few months some of the subscriptions to magazines I have been taking for years have come up for renewal and I am not renewing any of them.

The reason being is that the content has changed so much they are (to me) not worth renewing. I have not read very many of the articles in those magazines for a long while.

For instance, I have been a subscriber to the Reader’s Digest magazine for as long as I can remember.

My favorite article in the magazine was the Book Length novel. That was discontinues several years ago and I have continued to

subscribe to the magazine.

In recent times the magazine has changed to short articles. Some are very short. Some are (maybe a page or a page and one half in length and some have four to eight articles on a two page spread. For instance, this month, there is one article on one page with a picture. The article is sixty-four words long in three sentences and it is complete on one page, with the picture.

Most articles in that one issue are one page to a page and one half long and there is only one article over three pages and the subject of that article is about hard to swallow foods. It is about someone

who had gotten choked on a cantaloupe.

Over the years I have saved a file box with articles of The Reader’s Digest. They are copies of this magazine that have the full-length novels in them. The stories are some I liked at the time and wanted to keep. I do not think I will miss copies of

One Pharmacist’s View It’s sort of strange — doing Thanksgiving in Branson but the theme is all Christmas. Never mind all that. Thanksgiving sort of introduces the Christmas season. How early can it start? When I was a kid I wanted Christmas to last as long as it could.

Before Christmas there was the anticipation of the gifts you were to get and the mystery of what was in a box or better still, what Santa would bring. The Santa mystery sort of bit the dust for me in 1943. My next door neighbor friend Letha Mae Moore confided that she had found out who Santa really was. It didn’t take

much coaching for her to share that it was her daddy.

One can only imagine how let down I was to find that Bill Moore (a somewhat short little baldheaded guy) was Santa.

She told me to keep it a secret so I did. I imagine that down in Centrahoma there are people who still didn’t know that Bill Moore was Santa Claus. Finding this out was somewhat like Christmas morning after you survey your gifts — including the one from Santa. Of course, there is no way that a gift in hand can live up to the

“What can I do?” She asked with tears welling up in her eyes? There were lines of pain on her face and forehead. From her conception by unwed parents to the recent divorce from her second husband, her 45 years had been filled with pain and disappointment. She had conceived a daughter out of marriage and then married a man who was not her daughter’s father. Sitting in the church office, she revealed one unhappy detail of her life after another and confessed, “I have made a mess of my life.”

“I know I need to repent and return to the Lord,” she said, “but I am too ashamed!” Guilt is painful! None of us want to face and admit our sins!

Some try to hide from guilt. We may deceive ourselves, looking for ways to justify our actions or to blame others or to even blame God. But, who are we fooling? Have we forgotten that our every action is known to God and that we will appear before Him in judgment?

We may deceive ourselves and fool some people, but God knows the truth.

This lady found the courage to repent and return to God. However, are there not many like her who keep running, trying to

their own way, it’s just a little more than quiet here in the Bullard house. But it’s a nice kind of quiet.

Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful and that you look forward to Christmas, like we do — full of the Christmas spirit.

H a v e a g o o d w e e k and don’t forget to go to Church Sunday.

Allen Man Attends Annual Tribal Nations Conference at the White House

Allen resident, Assistant Seminole Chief Lewis Johnson has returned from the annual White House Tribal Nations Conference of Native American leaders held in Washington DC. Johnson, along with representatives from other tribal nations, met with President Obama and his cabinet members for the three-day conference, November 4th thru 6th.

T he conference covered issues of interest to all Nations, such as protecting and advancing nation-to-nation relations, strengthening tribal economics, healthcare, education opportunities for native youth, and restoring tribal homelands into trust.

ture, Health and Human Services, and the Departments of the Interior, Justice, Education, and Labor, as well as the Council on Environmental Quality, Office of Personnel Management, the Small Business Administration, and the Office of Science & Technology Policy.

Lady Mustangs get busy following break Allen used scrimmages and practices to prepare for this week

By HERMAN BROWN Allen correspondent The Allen Lady Mustangs are busy putting in the basketball work. The AHS ladies did not let a holiday break take away much time from the mission at hand.

On November 19, Allen opened with season with a double-digit victory over the Calvin Lady Bulldogs.

The Thanksgiving break followed last week. The time away from classes could have disrupted the flow of the action for AHS. However, the girls stayed busy over the holiday.

On Tuesday, Step 2 Game 2 - arrived for the basketball journey. The evening was to feature a December 1 road game at Wanette.

Looking ahead, there will be more game action

Kennedy Prentice and the Lady Mustangs host New Lima at home Friday night.

Next week the teams are in the Conference Tournament in Tupelo. Boys open at 5:50 against Asher and the Lady Mustangs will face Tupelo at 7:10, both on Monday

on Friday, December 4.

That’s when New Lima comes calling for a varsity contest. There should be little rust or any lack of conditioning when the teams take to the court.

That’s because Coach Jeremy Strong is pacing his girls on their drive through the 2015-2016 campaign.

The Lady Mustangs stayed active last week during the fall break. “We had a couple of scrimmages with bigger schools,� the coach said. “And we had a few practices to try to stay in shape as be we could.�

Allen went to Eufaula on Monday to scrimmage with the Eufaula and Jay. “I wanted to play against a physical team, and athletic team, and that’s what they were. They are a good shooting team and they take care of the ball well,�

Coach Strong said. “And they make you play hard.

We needed to see that.

Anytime you can see that, it’s good.�

The Allen girls impressed their coach against Eufaula and Jay. “I thought we looked pretty good,� he said. “There’s always room for improvement but overall I thought it was a good day!

On Tuesday, the Lady Mustangs returned home to host a scrimmage with Holdenville. AHS had another nice showing against their opponent

from Hughes County. “It was some more of the same kind of stuff we had done at Eufaula the day before,� the coach said. “We were looking to stay in the gym and keep working. We did work on a few different plans and a few different looks, You know each one of those teams is going to give us a different look, a different man (defense), a different zone, a different full-court press.

We just wanted to work on some execution.�

Now it’s time to hit stride for the players. The girls will be lead by the starters.

The first-team girls will include seniors Kennedy Prentice, Alison Sells, Hannah Heck, Charlea Leonard and junior Faith Caldwell. “They will be the first five on the court,� Coach Strong said.

It is important for all of players to work daily to improve their skills. The climb this season from Class A to Class 2A will take an adjustment - especially if Allen plans to make a long run in the playoffs.

Success has not been easy. However, the Lady Mustangs prove each season to be equal to the task against quality opposition.

Why should the season be different from previous campaigns? “I think it’s a lot like last year,� the coach said. “Since we moved up to 2A the playoffs are going to be a little bit different - a

little bit of a question mark for us. We know what to expect. It’s just a matter of getting out there and taking care of business. “It’s about regularly facing a more physical style of play. Not that Class A was ever not physical.

When you get there in Class A and play against the top teams, you are going to see physical teams.

But in the playoffs in 2A it seems like everybody is going to have a physical team. There won’t be any give-me’s.�

Luckily, the 2015-2016 campaign will be more Lady Mustangs suiting up for the games. “We have some added depth this year,� Coach Strong said. “I think we are going to be able to start off by playing eight girls on offense and grow up to 10. Of course that depends on how the game goes.

But I am looking forward to some added depth this year.�

Allen’s next game will come this Friday evening against the New Lima Falconettes. It will be a good time to show off some of that depth. However, there is work to be done to get the victory over the Seminole County squad. “I think New Lima will have a solid team,� the coach said. “I believe they’ll be improved from last year. I look to have a good game against them and I expect my girls to be ready.�

ing four players to fill the void.

The trick now is to figure out which players fit best in the starting assignments and the often-used reserves. The coach still has some thinking to do about which players will step onto the court first this week. “I’ll be honest with you, right now I don’t know who my starting five are,� the veteran coach said. “And it will change. We are looking to play several kids ... and whoever is playing well that night we’ll try to keep out there on the floor a little longer.

I feel pretty good about this because I haven’t had depth like this in a while.�

The confidence he has in

his squad is reflected in his outlook on the season. “I feel like we can compete with anybody that we play against - and in our conference for sure. As we get floor time we are going to get better and better and better.�

The coach looks for good things over the next three months. “It is early, but I do feel real good about our kids,� he said. “We are practicing hard and there’s lot of positives out there right now.�

Allen is 1-0 on the season. The Mustangs recorded a 76-30 victory over the Calvin Bulldogs during their Nov. 19 game at Calvin.

Mustangs eager for coming games

Coach Greg Mills planning to use Allen’s new depth

By HERMAN BROWN Allen correspondent

The Allen Mustangs are eager to get into the fullblown basketball season.

With the Thanksgiving break in their rear-view mirror, they can look forward to playing quite a few games over a short period of time.

Coach Greg Mills is just as excited as his players.

He expects to make full use of his new depth during the 2015-2016 season. “We are looking forward to the season and getting to play a few games in a row,� he said.

This week, the Mustangs are scheduled to

play twice. Allen was set to return to game action on December 1. AHS was going to Wanette to play the Tigers.

The Mustangs will play again this Friday (December 4). Allen will host the visiting New Lima Falcons.

Last week, the coach used some holiday time to prep his players with a Monday scrimmage and a pair of practice sessions on Tuesday and Friday.

Allen hosted Coalgate in a varsity boys’ basketball scrimmage on Monday.

Coach Mills used the session to play quite a few of the Mustangs. “I just wanted to get some more kids time on the floor and have them play together,� he said.

“We are trying to play 10 to 12 kids this year. We want them to play pretty regularly. I know there’s just one game but we’re looking to have a little depth. I’m trying to get them to play together a little bit.�

The coach was happy with his players on Monday. “I just wanted to see if we were hustling and playing hard,� he said. “We accomplished that.

We played several quarters against them (Coalgate Wildcats) and it was about equal.�

The headline for this year’s team is the added depth. Mustangs lost only two players from last season’s roster. This season’s freshman class is provid-
