Former teacher celebrates
birthday with reception
Lifestyles
By KATHLEEN WALLACE
Lifestyle Editor
Mary E. White has seen a lot of life
— as anyone has that will soon be 100
years old. Her family will celebrate her
birthday with a reception Sunday from
1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Senior Citizens
Building, the comer of Bixby and Taft.
The family invites her former pupils to
attend the reception.
A former school teacher. White
taught in many Creek County schools.
She taught at Pleasant Valley from
1944 to 1946; Genell in 1947;
Sandridgc from 1948 to 1950; Gypsy,
McElroy, Jennings, Meramac, Mason,
Welly, New Hope and finally she
taught all grades for 14 years at Sapul-
pa High School.
“I taught until the retirement age
was set for 69 and then I taught one
(year) after,” said White. “I substituted
from then on.”
“If the children were interested and
liked school, we got along,” said
White. “If not, I sent them to the super-
intendent's office. He took care of
them.”
White has many memories of teach-
ing school. Her first school had
students sitting on long benches
according to the grades. She taught
them to read and write.
“It’s been a long time ago,"she said.
“People didn’t have to send their
kids to school and then they passed a
law making people send their kids to
school.”
During her early times of teaching.
White made a very small salary.
“Just enough for room, board and a
few articles,” she said, “fifty dollars.”
She grew a garden, usually toma
toes her favorite vegetable.
“I was the only one that raised a
garden but they all liked to eat. I finally
quit raising a garden in town. Every-
body in town helped themselves to my
vegetables.”
“In the country I was better satis-
fied,” she said.
She graduated from Central State
College in Edmond in 1953, studying
while teaching school, at the age of 60.
Two of her daughters also attended the
college at the same time.
White started oil painting while in
her 80's. One of her paintings won first
place in the senior division at a Tulsa
State Fair. Not painting now because
of a hand injury, she has one painting
above her bed at Ranch Terrace Nurs-
ing Home.
Painting from childhood memories,
White said she liked to paint flowers.
Now she sits by the window, look-

DEAR ABBY: Five or six years
ago, you printed two letters in the
same column dealing with the hope-
lessness of being in love with a mar-
ried man. Will you please print
them again? I carried them in my
wallet, but my purse was stolen.
NEEDS REINFORCEMENT
DEAR NEEDS: Wiae is the
woman who admits that she
needs reinforcement; here they
are:
DEAR ABBY: This is probably
just like a million other letters
you’ve received from women who
have had affairs with married men.
But this one contains a piece of
advice that hasn’t been emphasized
nearly enough.
Last year I started seeing an
absolutely fantastic guy from work.
I knew he was married, but we
played it cool and thought we could
handle it. It was terrific while it
lasted, but it had to come to an end.
(The old story: We got too serious.
He didn’t want to hurt his wife and
kids. Then he got “noble" and told
me he couldn’t allow me to invest
any more time in a man who
couldn’t marry me.)
I’m not blaming anybody but
ing outside. She also goes to church.
“I always go,” she said.
White was bom Aug. 1, 1893, in
Mountain Grove, Mo., “near Mt.
Kincaid,” to Hiram E. and Mary E.
Inman. In 1901 the family moved to
Stroud in Oklahoma Territory.
“Mama wanted the boys moved off
the street. They learned many words
on the street they shouldn’t have.
Mama had a time.”
“We were very careful,” she said,
“we weren’t allowed to run with just
anyone.”
In 1912 Mary graduated from
Stroud school, and in 1914 she began
teaching her first class, the first grade
at Davenport.
White remembers singing with her
father, she also played the portable
piano. The family entertained the
neighborhood in the evenings with
their music. When asked her favorite
song, she started singing Little Brown
Church in the Vale with the reporter.
White sang from memory and got
every word correct.
Her father was a talented musician,
singer and a minister. He also fitted
glasses and made jewelry. He was a
successful jeweler in Missouri before
his family’s move to Stroud.
White married Charles McKnight
White July 3, 1917. The couple had
five children: Mary Edna White Bail-
ey of Paden; Charles M. “Buster”
While of Arkansas City, Kan.; Ralph
E. White of Sapulpa; Marie E. White
Norris of Tulsa; and Elnora White
Bowen, of Sapulpa. Marie and Elnora
followed their mother’s footsteps into
teaching and are now retired.

Plans announced
Cool off with ice cream
-Jrpc
It wouldn’t be summer without ice
cream, and for some, it wouldn’t be ice
cream without sauce on top. The
following recipe for butterscotch
sauce takes about 5 minutes to cook in
your microwave oven. You can vary it,
according to your taste. The recipe
derives its flavor from butter, so don’t
use margarine or oleo as a substitute.

'A cup heavy (whipping) cream
'/» cup firmly packed dark brown
sugar
V* cup ('A stick) butter, cut into 4
chunks

heavy cream and brown sugar; cover
with vented plastic wrap. Cook on 100
percent power (high) until smooth and
golden brown, about 5 minutes, stir-
ring once. Add butter, stir until melted.
Serve warm or cover and refrigerate
until ready to serve. Reheat on 30
percent power (defrost) until warm,
about 1 minute. Serve over vanilla ice
cream, pound cake, sliced bananas,
waffles or pancakes. Makes / cup.

myself. I’m a mature woman and
should have known better. The
moral to this story is: If you must
have an affair, don’t choose some-
one you will see at work every day.
When it’s over, the daily contact is
torture.
STILL HURTING
DEAR STILL: You seem to
have overlooked another
“moral” or two: “Thou shalt not
commit adultery” and “Thou
shalt not steal.” Read on:
DEAR ABBY: May I give your
readers the benefit of my very valu-
able experience? I address this to
any woman who is “in love” with a
married man:
Never expect to see him on Sun-
days or holidays.
Never call him at home.
Don’t ever expect him to take
you out in public, but be prepared to
entertain him at your place. He
may bring a bottle of wine or the
steaks occasionally, but in actual
dollars and cents, you will spend
more on him than he’ll spend on
you.
Never depend on him in times of
personal crisis.
Ouchless shoes
Don’t believe him when he tells
you his wife is a shrew, cold, home-
ly, too fat (or too thin) and hasn’t
slept with him for 10 years.
Don’t ever expect his wife to
divorce him — even if she catches
him. She knows you are not his first
and won’t be his last. Also, she is
not about to give up her social sta-
tus, financial security and retire-
ment income because of you.
retuu
JPltiy
However, her discovery will
probably terminate his affair with
you, so be prepared to get some new
clothes, circulate, and find another
married man whose wife is a shrew,
cold, homely, too fat (or too thin)
and hasn’t slept with him for 10
years. Sign me ...
HIS WIFE
NEW YORK (AP) — Finally, cush-
ioned insoles that help absorb the
shock of mean city streets without

DEAR ABBY: Do you think mar-
ried women dress to please their
husbands?

FOOD LOVERS DIET
To introduce a new approach to dieting, free samples were given to
50 people. With The Omicron Diet, one man lost 14 pounds in 5
days and one woman lost 18 pounds in 10 days. The average weight
loss was over a pound a day for women and over 2 pounds a day for
men. The Omicron Diet is a revolutionary new concept for unbe-
lievably fast weight loss developed and clinically proven by Na-
tional Dietary Research of Washington. D.C. This significant break-
through in metabolic weight control was made possible by the utili-
zation of biological information over-looked by other diet programs.
With a formulation of natural enzymes along with real food, you
shed unwanted pounds extremely rapidly and safely. Now available:
