Hello All! We hope your week is going well and just wanted to say thanks for picking up this issue of Tidbits from one of our valued business locations - be sure to give them a big THANKS for making Tidbits available at their establishment. It is a very important way in which we bring Tidbits to thousand and thousands of people each and every week - we think of it as meeting you half way. In this part of the country people understand that. Say you want to borrow someone's hay wagon. You could just sit on your thumbs and wait or you could head in their direction and meet them half way... it's neighborly thing do. With Tidbits that is also our philosophy, meeting our readers and advertisers half way. We are willing work hard and do our part to make the ad prices affordable for local businesses and bring the paper to over 37 area towns for you to pick when you are out and about in the local community. Lynette and I can't say it enough.. THANK YOU! Thanks also to the people we see at the gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. that let us know they are enjoying Tidbits. We greatly appreciate it - especially the thumbs up and honks when we are out on the highways!

Sean & Lynette Athey, publishers Email us at... Sean@LakeAreaTidbits.com Next week we'll share some pictures and let you know how the backyard garden is going! • It was Martin Luther King Jr. who made the following sage observation: “In the end, we by Samantha Weaver will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” • If you head up to the top floor of the U.S. Supreme Court building, you’ll find a basketball court. It’s known, of course, as “the highest court in the land.” • During the filming of the classic film “The Wizard of Oz,” the dog that played Toto was paid $125 per week. In contrast, the actors who played the munchkins were paid $100 per week -- and their manager, Leo Singer, kept half of that. • Those who study such things say that goats have accents. • In Germany in the 1500s, a court physician by the name of Oswaldt Gabelthouer wrote a medical book full of remedies that he guaranteed would be effective. For insanity, the patient must cut his or her hair
close to the head, then tie two halves of a ram’s liver to the head. A severe case of epilepsy, he claimed, could be cured if the patient wore the right eye of a wolf and the left eye of a she-wolf on a thong about the neck for three months; also, the patient had to forgo bathing during that time. There’s no mention in the record at hand of how a patient would go about redeeming the guarantee. • If you’re suffering from xanthodontia, don’t worry; a dentist can help whiten those yellow teeth. •••
Thought for the Day “The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don’t have it.” -- George Bernard Shaw

FIREWORKS SAFETY TIPS
Brought to You by The Good Folks at Big Bang Fireworks in Big Stone City Use fireworks outdoors only. Always have water handy. (A hose or bucket). Only use fireworks as intended. Don’t try to alter them or combine them. Use common sense. Spectators should keep a safe distance from the shooter and the shooter should wear safety glasses. Never relight a “dud” firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water. Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. Have a “designated shooter.” Only persons over the age of 12 should be allowed to handle sparklers of any type. Do not ever use homemade fireworks or illegal explosives: They can kill you! Report illegal explosives to the fire or police department in your community.
HAVE FUN ... BE SAFE!

• On July 9, 1777, New York elects Brig. Gen. George Clinton as the first governor of the independent state of New York. Clinton’s career was marked by his hatred of British loyalists, called Tories. He kept the public’s tax burden low by confiscating and selling land belonging to Tories to maintain state coffers. • On July 7, 1865, Mary Surratt is executed for her role as a conspirator in Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Surratt’s boardinghouse, a few blocks from Ford’s Theatre, where Lincoln was murdered, served as the place where a group of Confederate supporters conspired to assassinate the president. • On July 8, 1898, notorious con man “Soapy” Smith is murdered in Skagway, Alaska. Smith earned his nickname “Soapy” selling bars of soap wrapped in blue tissue paper. He promised crowds that a few lucky purchasers would find a $100 bill wrapped inside the $5 bars of soap. • On July 13, 1951, rivers across eastern Kansas crest well above

flood stage, and 500,000 people are left homeless. Two million acres of farmlands were lost. In addition, the flooding caused fires and explosions in refinery oil tanks on the banks of the Kansas River. • On July 11, 1960, novelty song “Alley Oop” tops the Billboard pop chart. Alley Oop was the name of a time-traveling caveman in a comic strip of the same name created in 1932 by cartoonist V.T. Hamlin. • On July 12, 1984, Walter Mondale, Democratic presidential candidate, announces that he has chosen Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate, the first woman nominated by a major party for the vice presidency. • On July 10, 1992, the Alaska court of appeals overturns the conviction of Joseph Hazelwood, the former captain of the oil tanker Exxon Valdez. Hazelwood, who was found guilty of negligence for his role in the massive oil spill in Prince William Sound in 1989, successfully argued that he was entitled to immunity from prosecution because he had reported the oil spill to authorities 20 minutes after the ship ran aground. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Membership is $45 per year and may be submitted to Dick Boswell, 2245 Harrison Ave., Lincoln, NE 68502; and membership@fancollectors. org. Do not contact Boswell concerning questions about the age or value of fans. That is not his purpose. ••• Q: I have about a dozen issues of the Saturday Evening Post from the 1960s. They are in excellent condition, but no covers of historical interest. Is there a market for such publications? -- Bill, Louisiana, Mo. A: Most issues of the Saturday Evening Post from this period sell in the $10 to $20 range, depending on both content and condition. The issues covering the assassination of John Kennedy in 1963 are popular with collectors, but rarely sell for more than about $25. ••• Q: While cleaning out my mom’s desk, I found about a dozen sheets of Christmas seals from the 1950s. I plan to sell them at a garage sale and wonder how I should price them. -- Donna, Mitchell, S.D. A: Occasionally sheets of Christmas seals pop up at shops and antiques malls. Even though they are collectible, prices have remained fairly stagnant. Most of the examples I have seen from the 1950s generally sell for about a dollar a sheet.

Vintage Fans Q: I grew up in West Texas before the era of air conditioning. We had electric fans scattered throughout our house to help us survive the summer heat. I still have three of them, all from the 1930s and ‘40s. Are they considered collectible? -- Sue Beth, Spring Branch, Texas A: If your vintage fans have brass blades, you have the most collectible. Serious enthusiasts seek out older fans with such features as Art Deco designs and exposed coils, and even rarer ones with light bulbs mounted on the unit. If the paint is in reasonably good shape and the fan is in working condition, the value may surprise you. For example, fans spotted recently include a Westinghouse Vane Oscillator, $650; an Emerson three-speed Trojan, $400; a GE “Whiz,” $55; and an Emerson “Junior,” $75. The American Fan Collector Association is one of the better groups and publishes a nifty news-
