Gooding offered the following suggestions to help people identify legitimate Girl Scout cookie sales: Cookies cost $3.50 per box in the western Oklahoma district, which includes Oklahoma City, and $4 per box in eastern Oklahoma. If someone is taking orders, state that you will pay for the cookies if they come back with the cookies to deliver. Do not pay in advance. The local council office and adults do not sell Girl Scout cookies door to door. Only Girl Scouts sell cookies.

Girl Scouts are hosting cookie booth sales all over the western half of the state. To make sure you get your Girl Scout Cookies from real Girl Scouts, you can find a cookie booth near you. Go to www.gswestok.org and click on the "I Want Cookies" button. You can then click on the "cookie booth locator" link and do a search by ZIP code. For more information, call 528-3535- BY JOHNNY JOHNSON Staff Writer jjjohnsonc3opubco.com NICHOLS HILLS Girl Scouts of Western Oklahoma is warning people to beware of Girl Scout im-posters during the annual cookie sale.

Deborah Gooding, director of marketing and communications for Girl Scouts of Western Oklahoma, said her organization received a complaint about four people going door to door taking Girl Scout cookie orders and collecting money in advance. Gooding said the report came from a man in Nichols Hills who said an older couple and two girls asked him to pay up front and said his cookies would be delivered later. Girl Scouts of Western Oklahoma has had cookies available for purchase since the sale started in January. Girls are not taking orders for cookies as they already have the cookies ready to sell, Gooding said. Nichols Hills police received no report of such a scam, and Gooding said she was not aware of any more instances.

CLAYPOOL Arthur Joe Claypool was born Nov. 23, 1919, west of Marlow, in the small community of Denton, to Henry Clay Claypool and Hattie Pink (Harten) Claypool. He was the youngest of six children, and spent his young years working on the family farm and attending school at Prairie Center and later at Central High School, where he lettered in Basketball for four years, playing for the state championship in 1937 and 1938. In 1939, after his father's death, the family moved to California, where he and his brothers worked respectfully in the orchards of Del Monte and in the cannery of Van Camps.

In 1940 Joe was drafted into the US Army, where he completed basic training and then trained as a member of an artillery unit. Due to the many alerts that were called along the coast of California at the beginning of the war due to Japanese submarine activity, Joe was severely injured during one such alert and sent by hospital train to Kansas City for rehabilitation and was honorably discharged from the service. He returned to Oklahoma and began working in the oil fields as a roughneck, which he would continue until the early 1970s. During that time he also worked for the City of Edmond as a lineman and meter reader and for Scott Chevrolet in Okla. City, all to meet the needs of his family.

In 1945 he met and married Francis Catherine Cain, and to this union three children were born: a daughter, who did not survive childbirth; a second daughter, JoAnn; and a son, Randy. Joe was preceded in death by his parents, his older brothers and sisters, as well as his wife. Joe is survived by his daughter, JoAnn Cobble of Tuttle; and son, Randy wife, Bruna, of Tuttle; grandchildren: Joey Cobble wife, Jennifer, of Ft. Worth; Doug Cobble of Montgomery, AL; and Julie husband, Greg Wilson, also of Montgomery AL; as well as grandson, EJ Claypool, of Charleston, SC; great-grandchildren: Ethan and Catie Cobble of Ft. Worth, Texas.
