“My youthfulness can be attri-
buted to no smoking, chewing oi

Shaier. the healthiest looking 83
year-old you'd ever hope to see
The easy - going Shafer has liv
ed in Sapuipa the past 56 years
after spending most of ms early
hildhood days in Crawford Coun
ty. Illinois
Born in the same midwest
community Sept. 16. UPS, Shafei
was brought up on a farm
In 1897. at the age of 19. he
married the former Emma May
Caywood The first of their thre<
children was bom just before the
entire Shafer clan packed then
hags and headed for Oklahoma
in 19U0
Shafer's fattier had left for Ok-
lahoma earlier to see if he could
mrchase land and a (arm here
He liked what he saw and influ-
enced his wife, son and daughter-
in-law to move out here.
“Here” was a farm some ten
miles south of Pawnee But the
dry and dusty weather forced the
younger Shafer to move three
years later to Mammae a little
town on the Santa Fe m Pawnee
county.
The next three years found Sha-
fer and his family continuously
"on the go," as they moved to
Cleveland, back to Maramec, and
then to Kieler. before moving to
Sapuipa. a “building commun-
ity". in 1906.
By this time. Shafer became
fully experienced as a contractor.

In ancient times, persons often

feel I am qualified to fulfill the
duties of the office and I will
insist that the office be operated
in an efficient and satisfactory
manner for the benefit of the
taxpayers I hope to see as many
voters as possible before the elec-
tion "
Wade served two years in the
U.S Army with overseas service |
in the Europeria theatre.
The president is the command-
er-in-chief of the Army and Navy
of the United States at all times,
and of the militia of the several
states only when called into the
actual service of the United
States.
His first job in Sapuipa was as a
foreman for Jasper Cox.
After working lor Cox several
•years. Shafer went to work for
himself as a building contractor
He built the C. D Klingensmilh
home cm South Poplar. Dr Thom
as Burnett’s home, the C J Dav
enport residence on Fairview and
many others.
Shafer also built what is now
the Presbyterian parsonage
In 1932. he went into the groc
ery business at 10 S. Maui He re-
mained in the grocery business
for the next £ years, retiring in
1957
The firs* Mrs • Shafer died in
‘52. Two years later, he married
the former Anna Alexander of
Tulsa.
Mr Shafer always has partici-
pated in church work He was
Sunday school superintendent at
the First Methodist church on
North Allen He held the same
aosition when the new church
was built on Thompson st
Sikafer also was an official
board member at these churches

have their names on the corner-
stone of the First Methodist
church.
The Shafers presently reside at
416 S Hickory, a house he built
himself. Mr. Shafer has two
daughters from his first marriage
Mrs. William Cline. Springfield.
Mo , and Mrs Elnora Miller A
son. Virgil Iwo. died in 1927.
The Shafers have three grand-
children and seven great grand-
children.
Shaier claims he is the last
"Shafer" in his family's trade
tion "There are no Shafer boys
left to carry on when I go." says
the good • natured Pennsylvania
Dutchman, “as there are nothing
but girls left in the family ''
Shafer still likes to talk freely
of the "good ole days."
•"When 1 first came here. I can
remember Kiefer just beginning
to build. I worked in the carpen-
ter trade in them days." says
Shafer, "and it was pretty rough
in Kiefer at that time "
That's a pretty unusual com-
ment for Shafer to make, as he
“never could figure out how Sa-
puipa was so wild "
“It might have been pretty live-
ly in town those days - like in
any oilier oil town for that mat-
ter - but t never saw or met up
with any so-called outlaws "
A former member of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America and
the Odd Fellows. Mr Shafer is
without many of his early - time
associates who have long since
departed
Mr Shafer never saw an auto
mobile until he arrived in Sapul
pa. "Dr Hoover had the first ve
hicle 1 ever saw." claims Shafer
In his day. high schools weren'i
to be had unless one lived in the
city."‘You Just didn’t go to higl
school if you were a country-boy,'
says Shafer, who walked two tc
three miles when he went tc
grade school
The horse and buggy dominate)
in Illinois at the time. "Then
were some pretty good horses at
the time, and more snow than yoi
ever hoped to bargain for."
When Shaier arrived in Paw
nee county he observed the In
dians and the way they lived
"They were really very harm-
less. he says. “Most of them were
very friendly, always visiting
each other to swap ponies. etc
Shafer doesn't go along with the
theory that people who retire-
ujr.'t find anything to do "They
are Just not looking,” says the
.rally okftimer. “there's 'al
ways' something to do.”
Despite being retired the past
five years. Shafer occupies much
of his “spare" time growing
flowers, working on (lie lawn, oi
overruling machinery, such a-
lawnmowers, automobiles, etc.
He still drives a 1937 Ford
which in his words "runs like an
alarm clock."
Shaier likes Oklahoma “This
a good state. I like Sapuipa. the
people and the town

How
long
since you
checked
your child’s
shoe size?
Continual attention to fit Ls vital because poorly fitted shoes can be pressing th®
feet out of shape witnout a murmur of complaint from the child. Children
under 6yrars of age outgrow their shoes in 4 to 8 weeks; between ages 6 and 12, in
8 to 16 weeks; between ages 12 and 15, youngsters need larger sizes every 4 months.
When you bring your children in to us. well tell you if their shoes fit as they
should. If not, we’U show you why.
We will cheek their shoe sizes with the famous 6-Point Fitting Plan which
measures both feet at all key points and allows just the right amount of grow-
ing room. Proper fit Ls assured because Buster Brown Shoes arc made over

casting and communications unit,
