ICE CREAM INFO (continued) • In the 13th century when explorer Marco Polo returned to his native Italy from his travels in the Far East, he brought home a recipe very similar to our sherbet of today. “Cream Ice” was on the table of England’s King Charles I during the early 1600s. A Parisian café first offered ice cream to the public around 1600. • Ice cream’s first official mention in North America was in a letter from a guest of the governor of Maryland. The New York Gazette featured a confectioner’s advertisement for ice cream in 1777 informing readers that the treat was available “almost every day.” President George Washington was a great lover of ice cream, with records indicating that the chief executive spent $200 on ice cream during the summer of 1790. His personal effects at the time of his death included two pewter ice cream pots. James Madison was another president who was fond of the treat, having it served at his Inaugural Ball in 1813. • America’s first patent for an ice cream cone was issued in 1903 to Italo Marchiony, an Italian immigrant who invented his cone in New York City. The following year the St. Louis World’s Fair featured a vendor selling crisp waffle pastries, who just happened to have his booth next to an ice cream merchant. When the ice cream booth ran out of dishes, the pasty vendor stepped in, rolling his waffles into cone shapes. The rest, as they say, is history. Today’s

It was Jerry’s ambition to enter med school, but he couldn’t seem to get accepted into any. Ben was admitted to several colleges, but dropped out of all of them.

Between the two of them, they had $8,000 in savings, and with the addition of a $4,000 bank loan, they set out on a new business venture. They leased a vacant gas station in Burlington, Vermont, and opened their ice cream parlor in 1978.

FAMOUS WOMEN OF THE WORLD: ANNIE OAKLEY Perhaps the first female celebrity athlete in America, sharpshooter Annie Oakley’s abilities were truly astonishing. Let’s take a look at the life of the woman known as “Little Sure Shot.” • The birthplace of Phoebe Ann Moses was a tiny cabin in western Ohio in 1860. With a family of seven children to feed, Phoebe Ann was already trapping birds and small animals at the tender age of five. By age seven, she was using an old muzzle-loading gun of her father’s to bag game. • When Phoebe was six years old, her father was caught in a severe blizzard while driving a team of horses into town. He died shortly afterward of injuries sustained in the brutal weather. • Due to financial poverty, at age 8 Phoebe was sent to board at the county infirmary, a home for the elderly, orphans, and mentally ill. The superintendent’s wife schooled her and taught her to sew, a skill she used later in life to sew her costumes. The infirmary found a position for her with a local family, tending their infant for 50 cents a week. However, it wasn’t long before it became apparent that there would be no money and the young girl was subjected to grueling labor, and mental and physical abuse. After virtually being held prisoner for nearly two years, she ran away, making her way to a train depot 20 miles away, where a generous man paid for a ticket home. • Back at home, Phoebe set to work providing for the large family. She began hunting wild game and selling it to restaurants and hotels. By the time she was 15, she had paid off the mortgage on her mother’s house. • A Cincinnati hotel owner who had purchased meat from Phoebe changed her life forever. Jack Frost invited her to participate in a shooting contest where she was pitted against a well-known professional marksman, Frank Butler. In the match, Butler hit 24 out of 25 birds,
but she hit them all. Ten months later the pair married when Phoebe Ann was just 16 years old. • The Butlers settled in Cincinnati and began performing, Frank Butler with Annie using her stage name for the first time. Stories differ as to where she derived the name Oakley. Some say it was the name of that kind man who had paid her train fare years before, but a more likely explanation is that she took the name from their neighborhood in Cincinnati. • The couple joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in 1885, and Annie would remain the show’s star attraction for 17 years. Here she met fellow performer, Lakota leader Sitting Bull. The two became friends and the chief nicknamed the 5-ft.tall (1.5-m) Annie “Little Sure Shot.” She could shoot a dime in mid-air from 90 feet! • Audiences were wowed. She could shoot off the end of a cigarette held in her husband's lips, hit the thin edge of a playing card from 30 paces and shoot distant targets while looking into a mirror. She would also shoot holes through cards thrown into the air before they landed, inspiring the practice of punching holes in a free event ticket being referred to as an "Annie Oakley." Oakley even entertained such royals as Queen Victoria and Kaiser Wilhelm II—and shot a cigarette out of his mouth. • At age 41, Annie was seriously injured in a train wreck that left her temporarily partially paralyzed. Even after five spinal surgeries, she continued to set records. At 62, she sustained critical injuries in an auto accident, but after a 1 ½-year recovery, she was setting records again! But the following year, she was in frail health, and in 1926, Annie died of pernicious anemia. Devastated by grief, her husband of 50 years Frank Butler is said to have stopped eating, and he passed away just 18 days later. "Aim at a high mark and you will hit it. No, not the first time, nor the second and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice will make you perfect. Finally, you'll hit the Bull's Eye of Success." – Annie Oakley

Extraordinary Uses for Paper Towels HELPFUL HOME
CARE TIP-BITS
Clean silk from fresh corn - If you hate picking the silk off freshly husked ears of corn, then you'll love this paper towel trick. Dampen one and run it across the ear. The towel picks up the silk, and the corn is ready for the boiling pot or the grill.
Keep frozen bread from getting soggy - Here's how to freeze—and thaw—your bread so it tastes just like fresh. Place a paper towel in the bag of bread before you freeze it. When you’re ready to eat that frozen loaf, the paper towel absorbs the moisture as the bread thaws. Keep cast-iron pots rust-free - Stop rust from invading your prized collection of cast-iron pots. After they’re clean, place a paper towel in each to absorb any moisture. Store lids separately from the pots, separated by a lining of paper towels.
two more dampened paper towels. Over the next two weeks, keep the towels damp and keep checking on the seeds. If most of the seeds sprout, then plant the rest of the batch in the garden. Clean a sewing machine - After you tune up your sewing machine, don't worry about residual grease harming your sewing project: Use this paper towel trick. Thread the sewing machine and stitch several lines up a paper towel first. That should take care of any residual grease, so you can resume your sewing projects. Clean a can opener - Have you ever noticed that strange gunk that collects on the cutting wheel of your can opener? You don’t want that in your food. Clean your can opener by “opening” a paper towel.

MATCHES • In 1826, English chemist John Walker was attempting to create a new explosive. Stirring an antimony sulfide and potassium chlorate-based formula with a wood stick, he noticed a tear-drop shaped glob had dried on the stick's tip.
He scraped the stick against the stone floor to remove it and, to his surprise, the stick caught on fire. • In 1827 Walker began selling "Friction Lights" but he never applied for a patent. They had tips coated with a potassium chloride-antimony sulfide paste, which ignited when scraped between a fold of sandpaper. They came in a tin, each with a piece of sandpaper.
The user folded this over the match, held it tightly and pulled the splint hard. Walker made little money off the invention and copy-cats soon abounded. There were problems with the matches, however. They ignited with the force of a firework and they smelled terrible. • In 1830, French chemist Charles Sauria discovered how to make matches using white phosphorus instead. They didn't smell as bad, they burned longer, and they were less explosive. However, it turned out to be a disastrous development due to the toxic nature of the phosphorus. Inhaling fumes from burnt matches had deadly consequences. When the fumes of white phosphorus are inhaled, or when fingers that have contacted phosphorus contact the mouth, or when a drinking glass is used that has been in the presence of phosphorus fumes, the toxin enters the body. A single pack of matches contained enough phosphorus to kill a person. • A French scientist named Georges Lemoine found that red phosphorus was not poisonous. A patent was filed on this method of matchmaking in 1898. • The Diamond Match Company purchased the patent and then, at the urging of President Taft, made the patent public domain so that all match manufacturers could use the formula without paying royalties.
for lighting and heat caused the demand for matches to skyrocket. Mechanized methods of matchmaking were needed. To solve this difficulty, the country's largest manufacturers banded together in 1881 to form a single company, The Diamond Match Company. The best features of the machinery that each had developed individually were combined. MODERN MATCHMAKING
• The machines that turn out StrikeAnywhere matches at the rate of more than 300 a second are about 60 feet long and two stories high. Wooden matches are made out of white pine or aspen wood. It takes an hour for a splint of wood to travel through the factory. • The matchbook became the "best read book in America" and the warning, "Close Cover Before Striking" became the most printed phrase in the history of the printed word. For 40 years, matchbooks were the most popular advertising medium in the nation. • Matchbooks are one of the most popular collectibles in the world. In the U.S. it's the second most popular collecting hobby after stamps. People who collect them are called phillumenists, meaning 'lovers of light.' Today, more book matches are used than any other kind. DIAMOND MATCH COMPANY • The market for matches has declined by some 80 percent since the • The increasing popularity of introduction of the disposable lighter in smoking coupled with the advent of gas 1972.

and Her
A doctor puts a woman on a diet, telling her to eat normally for two days, then skip a day, and repeat for two weeks. When she next comes in, she's lost a lot of weight. "I thought I was going to die on the third day" she said. "From Hunger?" the doctor asked. "No, from all the skipping"

● Scientists at NASA are working on developing a kind of space broom. The device will use a laser to sweep debris out of the way of the International Space Station.
● A New Yorker named Ashrita Furman holds the world record for the most world records: He has set 462 of them and currently holds 160. Among his exploits are the longest yodel (more than 26 hours); the longest distance traveled via acrobatic somersaults (12 miles, 390 yards); jumping up steps on a pogo stick (1,899 steps in 57 minutes, 51 seconds); the fastest time skipping through a marathon (5 hours, 55 minutes, 13 seconds); running the fastest mile with a milk bottle balanced on his head (7 minutes, 47 seconds); creating the largest popcorn sculpture (20 feet, 10 inches tall); underwater hula hooping (2 minutes, 38 seconds); the most candles burning simultaneously on a cake (48,523); the longest rally while playing table tennis with an egg (14 hits); and the fastest time for orange peeling and eating (3 oranges in 1 minute, 9.72 seconds).
● If you’re like an average person, the time you spend blinking in one day adds up to about 30 minutes of shut-eye.
● Southern California has more cars than India has cows. If cows are sacred in India, what does that say about how Californians feel about their automobiles?
● If you remember the early-1960s TV series “Route 66,” you might be surprised to learn that the show was actually shot in Florida and Oregon, nowhere near the fabled highway.
● You might think of Uncle Sam as a fictional character, but he’s actually based in fact. The original Uncle Sam was one Samuel Wilson, born in Massachusetts in 1766. When he was 14 years old, he joined the army to fight in the American Revolution. Once the war was over, he moved to Troy, N.Y., started working in the meat-packing industry, and became known locally as “Uncle Sam” due to his jovial manner and ethical business practices. During the War of 1812, Sam won a contract to provide meat to troops stationed nearby. To keep track of which crates of meat were destined for the troops, he stamped “U.S.” on them, even though that abbreviation for United States was not yet in common use. When his packing plant was inspected in October of 1812, a government inspector asked a nearby worker what “U.S.” stood for. Unsure of the abbreviation himself, the worker replied that it must stand for the name of the owner, Uncle Sam. Though the answer was in error, it took hold, and soldiers soon began calling military rations “bounty of Uncle Sam.”

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Since July is National Ice Cream Month, it’s a good time for Tidbits to bring you the “scoop” about this confection and those who peddle it. • We’ve been celebrating National Ice Cream Month since 1984, when President Ronald Reagan proclaimed it as such in Senate Joint Resolution 298, calling upon “the people of the United States to observe these events with appropriate ceremonies and activities.” Reagan’s basis for the proclamation was that “ice cream is a nutritious and wholesome food, enjoyed by over 90% of the people,” and is “the perfect dessert and snack food.” • It’s estimated that 98% of American households buy ice cream, over 1.5 billion gallons a year, totaling upwards of $10 billion. About 9% of all the milk produced by dairy farmers in the U.S. goes to the making of ice cream. • The origins of ice cream appear to date back to the second century B.C. Alexander the Great is documented as a being a fan of snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar. Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar dispatched runners into the mountains to obtain snow to be infused with fruits and juices.
