CARTOONS (continued):

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Avoid adding to the tension around you. Even a well-meant reaction against something you perceive as unfair could be misunderstood. Let things calm down, and then talk about it.

• “Oh curses, foiled again!” was the line regularly delivered by arch villain Snidely Whiplash on “The Dudley Do-right Show.”

Canadian Mountie Do-right spent his time riding his horse backwards across the countryside, rescuing the fair damsel in distress Nell Fenwick, whom Snidely frequently lashed to the railroad tracks.

• Before he was Elmer Fudd, he was known as Egghead, and was created by Tex Avery with an egg-shaped head on a pudgy body with a bulbous nose.

Children’s needs are important during the latter part of the week.

• Can you name your favorite Loony Tunes character associated with these catchphrases?

Remember continually in pursuit of Tweety Bird, who, that it’s better to talk than walk. “tawt he taw a putty tat,” and Porky Pig wrapped things up with, “Th-th-that’s all, LEO (July 23 to August 22) folks!”

A job-related move might hold more positive surprises than you’d expected. Go into it with confidence, and look for all the advantages it offers.

Then decide what you’ll do with what you find.

• When we hear the name Tweety, an innocent, wide-eyed yellow canary comes to mind. But that’s not the way he was first created. In his initial stages, he was pink and named Orson, VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Driving yourself too hard to get something done and was a bad-tempered bird that harassed on a deadline you set up can backfire.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)

Be careful about the words you use, especially in touchy situations. The old Chinese saying that the spoken word is silver, but the unspoken gold could well apply here.

¥ On Aug. 11, 1921, Alex Haley, author of “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” is born in Ithaca, N.Y. Haley’s next novel, “Roots” (1976), was a fictionalized account of his family’s history, traced through seven generations. The novel was translated into 37 languages and won a special Pulitzer Prize. ¥ On Aug. 10, 1937, the electric guitar was recognized by the United States Patent Office with the award of Patent No. 2,089.171 to G.D. Beauchamp for an instrument known as the Rickenbacker Frying Pan. ¥ On Aug. 13, 1952, “Hound Dog” is recorded for the first time by rhythm-and-blues singer Ellie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton, a native of Montgomery, Ala., who started her professional career in 1941 at the age of 14. Four years later, Elvis Presley also had a hit with the song. ¥ On Aug. 15, 1969, a press party to promote the building of a professional recording studio in the vicinity of Woodstock, N.Y., turns into the biggest music festival the world had ever seen. The outdoor concert was expected to draw less than 5,000 people; instead, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair attracted a crowd of 500,000 over three days. ¥ On Aug. 9, 1974, Richard M. Nixon officially resigns as the 37th president. Minutes later, Vice President Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as the 38th president of the United States. After taking the oath of office, President Ford spoke to the nation in a television address, declaring, “My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.” ¥ On Aug. 14, 1985, Michael Jackson takes control of the publishing rights to the vast majority of the Beatles’ catalog for $47 million, outbidding Paul McCartney himself. In the years that followed, the catalog -- estimated to be worth in excess of $1 billion -- allowed Jackson to remain solvent by serving as collateral for several enormous personal loans. ¥ On Aug. 12, 1990, fossil hunter Susan Hendrickson discovers three huge bones jutting out of a cliff near Faith, S.D. They turned out to be part of the largest Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever discovered, a 65 million-year-old specimen dubbed Sue, after its discoverer.

Thought of the week “To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer.”

-- Paul Ehrlich

By Samantha Weaver

¥ It was American actress and comedian Lily Tomlin who made the following sage observation: “Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain.” ¥ According to Henry Heimlich, the inventor of the abdominal thrust technique known as the Heimlich Maneuver, the food upon which people most commonly choke is peanut butter straight out of the jar. ¥ Astronauts on the International Space Station see the sun rise every 90 minutes.

The inspiration for his stage name was the town of Glenford, Canada. ¥ Those who study such things say that every day in the world, 62 square miles of land becomes desert. ¥ When groups of shrimp end up with too few males to sustain the population, some of the females turn into males. ¥ Michael Crichton is best known as an author and screenwriter, and most of his fans are aware of the fact that he was a medical doctor, as well. It’s interesting to note, however, that as an undergraduate student he majored in anthropology. ¥ If you’re like 80 percent of the world, you will experience some kind of back trouble at least once in your lifetime. ¥ Businesswoman Mary Kay Ash, before she founded the Mary Kay Cosmetics empire, sold encyclopedias door-to-door.

Dog’s Marking Doesn’t Do Deck Any Favors DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have two 2-year-old neutered canine brothers (I found out after the fact that it is not a good idea to get them from the same litter). They have lots of forested room to roam, but “Jake” -- the dominant one -- occasionally insists on peeing on the deck. I can’t catch him at it. Why does he do that, and how can I get him to stop? -- Carolyn V., via e-mail DEAR CAROLYN: That can be tough to stop, since the deck is often considered part of the family living area for everyone, including the dogs. You’ll need to regain control of the deck area and remind Jake who’s boss.

Whenever the dogs are off-leash, roaming through the yard and woods, block access to the deck and don’t allow them on until you have called them up the steps and clipped a leash on Jake and his brother. You may want to have a second person leash the less-dominant dog.

Jake may, at this time, attempt to tug himself over to his usual marking spot, and drag you with him. Give him a firm “no” and order him to sit and stay.

At this time you can take his brother inside the house while you work with Jake. For the next several days or weeks, the deck is going to become Training Central. Work with Jake and his brother, separately. Whenever Jake begins to sniff around or tries to mark something, firmly tell him “no” and continue giving him basic obedience commands.

When he follows your commands, and especially when he stops sniffing and obeys rather than tries to mark, give him lots of praise and treats (if you choose).

To further discourage marking, clean the areas he has marked and treat with an odor neutralizer.

“I have placed several ads in the paper and I”m glad to say they have done very well. I personally like the layout of the paper and find it very informative. I would recommend Tidbits as a source of commercial advertising and a good read to all” Pat Vetter Service Manager Braby Motors “We placed only two ads and within days had phone calls inquiring about our product. We will use Tidbits as part of our advertising from now on.

He was George of the Jungle, a not-so-bright, loincloth-clad parody of Tarzan. The program aired for only 17 episodes in 1967.

• Words spoken over the final movement of Rossini’s “William Tell Overture” provided the opening for the “Lone Ranger” series.

The animated version of the 1930s radio program aired from 1966 to 1968. “Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!” was the cry of this “daring and resourceful masked rider of the Plains” who

“Here’s how I remember to take my daily pills: I place the pill bottles by my coffeemaker. In the morning, I fix my cup of coffee and get all my pills together. Then I set the bottles on the opposite counter. In the evening, I prep the next day’s pot of coffee and move the bottles back to the coffeemaker. If they are by the coffeemaker, and it’s not set up, I have not taken them yet.” -- M.R. in Florida “I know it’s still summer, but I am gearing up for the holidays early. I have been taking advantage of sales all year long to purchase fun, interesting and inexpensive items so that when December rolls around, I will not be caught off guard (or out of cash!). It’s not too late to start now.” -- S. in Washington When giving pills to dogs, try this old trick: Hide the pill in peanut butter. It masks the scent and taste of most pills, and will work for many dogs.

Help for mosquito bites: Try rubbing a bit of Vick’s Vapo-Rub into an itchy mosquito bite. The menthol will soothe the itch.

Purchase a set of inexpensive Frisbees at a discount store and use them as food plates in the car or at the picnic table. They can be “filled” with a snack or more, and they travel well, since there is a nice-size “lip” to keep food in place.

THE FLINSTONES (continued): the Grand Poobah of the Water Buffalos?

Diehard fans will recall it was Sam Slagheap.

• Alan Reed, the voice of Fred, came up with the trademark phrase “Yabba-dabba-doo.”

Reed claimed that it was borrowed from the Brylcreem commercial slogan, “A little dab’ll do ya.” This wasn’t Reed’s first shot in show business. He had already starred opposite Marlon Brando in “Viva Zapata!,” a 1952 biographical film about a Mexican revolutionary.

THE FLINSTONES (continued):

• In 1962, Fred and Wilma welcomed their bundle of joy, Pebbles. Although originally slated to be a boy, the producers recognized that a girl might trigger a merchandise line. Sure enough, the Ideal Toy Company introduced both a 12-inch and a 16-inch Baby Pebbles doll shortly afterward. During the fourth season, an abandoned baby was dropped on the doorstep of Barney and Betty Rubble, and Bamm-Bamm became the playmate of Pebbles Flintstone.

• Wilma used many “modern” appliances, such as a baby woolly mastodon for a vacuum cleaner and a washing machine that consisted of a pelican’s beak full of soapy water.

The family’s shower was an adult woolly mammoth spraying water with its trunk.

• “The Flintstones” was initially sponsored

by Winston cigarettes, and Fred and Barney could even be seen smoking them at the end of the program. However, after Pebbles was born, the network made the switch to Motorola and Welch’s grape juice.
