POST NOTES

Boomers And Ribs
Sixty years ago it was 1955. It’s hard to believe that was the middle of the last century. But unlike past generations there are more of us boomers alive and thriving in good health today than any other generation in the entire history of mankind. Little did we realize that when we were kids, sayings like “never trust anyone over thirty” would ring hollow just years later. After quitting smoking over twenty years ago, little did “I” realize that saying stupid things like “if I live to sixty I’m going back to smoking. A little definition of terms is needed here. A “boomer” or “baby boomer” are those of us that were born to the generation that lived during WWII. We were born in the forties, fifties, and early sixties, We, in our sixties and late fifties are the progeny of the “Greatest Generation”. Things were much different then and the receipt of a recent e-mail from my inimitable Aunt Judy brought to mind things that I remember hearing from my parents and grandparents. Like… “I’ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it’s going to be impossible to buy a week s groceries for $10.00.” “Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won’t be long before $1,000.00 will only buy a used one.” If cigarettes keep going up in price, I’m going to quit; 20 cents a pack is ridiculous.” And I love this one, thinking back to my first paying job at fourteen when I was making a little over a buck an hour. “If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.” When I tell youngsters about when I started driving I paid for gas with the change I had in my pocket because gas at the local Texaco was usually about 27 cents. Then I saw this, which was obviously a statement from an earlier generation than mine and it really hit home. “When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon. Guess we’d be better off leaving the car in the garage.” These days there’s hardly anything that’s taboo in the movies and TV isn’t far behind. The generation ahead of me might have said, “I’ m afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying Damn in Gone with the Wind, it seems every new movie has either Hell or Damn in it. Oh hell, I’ve heard worse from my granddaughter. The man on the moon was very much a part of my generation. In 1969 Neil Armstrong uttered those famous words, “one small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind. Once again the generation before said… “I read the other day where some scientist thinks it’s possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas.” Today, we even have gals doing it. Can you imagine? Society was a lot different then. No matter how tough things got sometimes, with four kids Dad went to work and Mom was at home. Then I saw this one. “It’s too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.” Or, “It won’t be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.” Then I saw a picture of Dwight Eisenhower addressing congress with the caption, “Thank goodness I won’t live to see
the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to government.” There are these gems from the forties and fifties. “No one can afford to be sick anymore. At $15.00 a day in the hospital, it’s too rich for my blood.” Are you kidding me! They charge more than that for an aspirin today. “There is no sense going on short trips anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel. Are you kidding me? A coke or a bag of pretzels from the vending machine costs more than that. “If they think I’ll pay 30 cents for a haircut, forget it.” Are you kidding me?... Never mind, I’ll leave you with this one which should be a nice segue into my close. “The fast food restaurant is convenient for a quick meal, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.” So here’s the segue, No fast food at the Legion. This Friday night at the Legion is the second in SAL’s Beefeater series of classic beef meals. Oh did I say beef? I meant meat, as in meat eaters. This Friday it’s going to be ribs, as in the baby backs the jewel of the porcine rib cage. BBQ’d in a delicious blend of spices and sauce, with red potatoes, seasonal vegetable and salad of course. At fifteen dollars you’d be crazy to miss this one and to ensure you get a seat at the table, buy an advance ticket for $15.00 from one of the Sons, or come to the Legion to get one. Walk-ins the night of the event are welcome of course, but to guarantee a seat at the table an advance ticket is what it takes.

continued from page 2 not symmetrical end. The script demands lively pace and sharp comic timing; without either it drags... this show soared. The enthusiastic and well rehearsed cast was spot on; the stage crew delivered two distinct settings as the plot took us from indoors to leafy outdoors. Director, Sonja Kodimer, her cast, her crew and slew of volunteers have set the bar high for future performance in this historic space. The seismic retrofit of the Little Theatre building was long overdue, Deb and I were delighted to have been among the first paying audiences’ invited back in. I believe that our communities Little Theatre has the potential to host great programs from educational theatre to community theatre to professional theatre, dance, music, film, live guest speakers from around the world via Skype and on and on. The future is bright and full of promise. I look forward to seeing more from Ms. Kodimer and her talented band of merry players and who knows...

Arrowheads Q: My family farm is in Iowa, and I have scouted for arrowheads ever since I was a youngster. I have several hundred in my collection, and wonder if you can recommend a good, basic reference book to help me identify the specimens I have. -- Ken, Davenport, Iowa A: There are several excellent references, but one I think is exceptional is "Overstreet Indian Arrowheads: Identification and Price Guide" by Robert M. Overstreet and published by House of Collectibles. This guide is filled with life-size illustrations of arrowheads grouped by nine geographic areas in the United States: Northeast, Eastern Seaboard, Gulf Coastal, Southern Central, Desert Southwest, Great Basin Westward, Northern High Plains, Northern Central and Eastern Central. Iowa is in the Northern Central region. In this guide, there are tips on grading and even an experts' guide on how and where to purchase authentic relics. *** Q: I have inherited my older brother's comic-book collection. I know nothing about vintage comics. Can you recommend a good price guide that I can use to determine values? -- Anita, Mound City, Illinois A: I have several comicbook references, but the two
I keep checking are "Comic Book Checklist & Price Guide" by Maggie Thompson, Brent Frankenhuff and Peter Bickford (Krause, $19.99); and "The Standard Guide to Golden Age Comic Books" by Alex G. Mallow and Stuart W. Wells III (Krause, $19.99). Both books are thoroughly illustrated and accurately reflect the marketplace. As with most collectibles, condition is extremely important. For example, the first issue of Archie comics, which was published in 1942, is valued at $25,000 in mint condition. In lesser condition, it would worth only a fraction of that amount. *** Q: Recently, I purchased a "Bubbleman" Pez dispenser. How old is it, and is it worth more than the $15 I paid for it? -- Steve, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma A: Your Bubbleman was issued during the fall of 1996 and was only available from Pez through a mail-in offer. Although they bear a copyright date of 1992, they weren't marketed until four years later. According to "The Collector's Guide to Pez: Identification and Price Guide" by Shawn Peterson, the various Bubbleman figures are valued in the $3 to $10 range. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
