Our troops are always ready to serve

We all have bad days now and then and can even start feeling sorry for ourselves as we try to muddle through them. One consolation is seeing someone else who's having a much worse day than we are.

Those in the latter group are the hapless folks Tidbits presents to you this week, so take heart and feel fortunate that none of these stories are about you!

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

®

* It was 19th-century Russian playwright and short story writer Anton Chekhov who made the following sage observation: “Love, friendship, respect, do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.” * If you suffer from galeophobia you’re certainly not alone; Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film “Jaws” may have popularized the fear of sharks, but it certainly didn’t start it. Logically, though, swinophobia makes more sense -- pigs kill more people every year than sharks do. * You might be surprised to learn that Harriet Tubman -- famous for her work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad -also served as a Union spy during the Civil War, providing key intelligence that aided in the capture of Jacksonville, Florida. She also was the first woman to lead an armed assault during the Civil War; the Combahee River Raid freed 750 South Carolina slaves. She even continued her humanitarian work after the war, opening the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged and Indigent in Albany, New York.

Here are a few facts you might not know about Franklin Delano Roosevelt, so read on to learn more information about our 32nd president.

• Franklin D. Roosevelt was paralyzed from the waist down as the result of a bout with polio he suffered in 1921 when he was nearly 40 years old.

During his entire 12 year presidency, he could not walk a step without braces or crutches. Yet, he travelled more than any previous president, wrestled with his sons, and swam. He allowed his birthday in January to be used by the March of Dimes to kick off their fund-raising efforts to raise money for research to prevent polio and other childhood diseases.

• Franklin Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt were distant cousins who knew each other from childhood. When they got married, Eleanor’s uncle, President Theodore Roosevelt, gave away the bride.

• FDR was the first president to appoint a woman to the Cabinet, choosing Frances Perkins for Secretary of Labor. His wife Eleanor applauded his choice, but offered sympathy, saying she knew it must have been a difficult decision for him when the labor leaders pressured him to choose one of their own men. He replied, “I’d rather have trouble with them for an hour, my dear, than have trouble with you for the rest of my life!”

• Roosevelt did a lot of hand-shaking when he was president, and eventually concluded that strangers he met at these official functions rarely paid any attention to the trivial pleasantries exchanged during greetings. Roosevelt had a wry sense of humor, and at a White House party he decided to test his theory. As he shook hands while greeting guest after guest, he remarked that he had brutally murdered his grandmother that very morning. As he suspected, not one person noticed except for an alert banker who replied, “Well, I'm sure she certainly had it coming!”

• When Roosevelt came down with a bad head cold, a Washington newspaper accidentally printed a headline that said, “President Kept in Bed by Coed.” Roosevelt was so amused he ordered a stack of extra copies to pass out to his

• In 1939 when King George VI visited the U.S., FDR offered him a cocktail at the White House while the president’s mother looked on disapprovingly. Roosevelt whispered, “My mother thinks you should have a cup of tea. She doesn’t approve of cocktails.” The King took the drink and replied, “Neither does my mother!”

• During WWII, when Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill were scheduled to meet in January 1943, they knew the Germans were desperate to find out where the meeting would take place. News was intentionally leaked

by Kara Kara Kovalchik Kovalchik && Sandy Sandy Wood Wood

There are some things we just don’t want to hear: ‘The disease is incurable.’ ‘The relationship is over.’ ‘The economy won’t rebound anytime soon.’

‘The dog is aggressive’ is a big one in my business.

A firefighter back east called last week with a real head-scratcher. He has a 3-year-old Cane Corso, which is an intelligent and powerful Italian mastiff breed. He discovered the dog in an abandoned warehouse a couple of years ago and decided to give it a home. When he relocated eight months ago, the dog suddenly took to growling. And, no, the story doesn’t end at that.

The fireman took his Cane Corso to the dog wash in his new hometown, where a woman oohed and aahed and asked for permission to pet him. Initially the man kept her at arm’s length, explaining it really wasn’t safe. But she persisted and asked him why he had the dog in a public place if it wasn’t safe.

Logical question.

The story ends with this: The man acquiesced, and the dog bit the woman.

If you follow this column regularly, you aren’t surprised. It happens all the time. People let love cloud their sanity: women go back for beating after beating; men live with belittlement and emasculation; dog owners tolerate the snarling, snapping, biting objects of their affection.

I asked the firefighter, “Is the dog trained?”

“Yes, I’m a trainer.”

“I thought you were a firefighter.”

“Yeah, but I’ve had a couple of dogs, and I trained them, no problem.”

These days, it seems everyone’s a critic, everyone’s an economist and everyone’s a dog trainer.

But in reality, most of us are amateur experts in almost everything. Most people don’t know how to cure cancer, the economy or canine aggression -much less all three.

What’s the difference between an expert and an amateur?

Dictionaries will tell you money. I say credentials.

iorists, only to be left with the same problems and of them.

The fireman wanted my advice, and I gave it to him:

His dog suffers from fear-based aggression, for which there is no cure. He can and should go forward with a behavior modification plan with the understanding that his dog will never be 100 percent safe to unleash on the world. And under no circumstances should he take this dog into a public place knowing, as he does, that it is an enormous liability. The dog is dangerous and should be kept away from public places and muzzled when not secured at home.

But he didn’t want to hear it. “I can’t accept this.”

Are you surprised?

Truth be told, even if it meant I were forever out of business, doomed to begin again in another career, I do wish everyone were a dog trainer. That would mean a world full of happier people and happier dogs. It would mean close to 5 million fewer dog bites in this country every year. It would mean courts unclogged with the frivolous suits between neighbors and former friends, now at each other’s throats over the barking of a dog. It would mean more space in our nation’s crowded emergency rooms. It would mean more service dogs and fewer dogfights. It would mean safer kids, stronger families and better communities.

Besides, I’ve always wanted to be a firefighter. And I have put out a few flames in my day.

Woof!

The Homer Laughlin China Company made your dinnerware. The company was founded in East Liverpool, Ohio, in 1871. They eventually relocated to Newell, West Virginia. Skytone is the name of the pattern, and the dishes have the Jubilee shape. Skytone, Suntone and Debutante are patterns within the Jubilee line; they were produced in the 1950s. The Jubilee shape can be recognized by the sleek streamlined design. The handles and finials are all applied and ribbon-shaped. Blue clay was used to make Skytone. Suntone is similar to Skytone, but terra-cotta clay is used to make it darker.

Debutante is white. The letters “L - 50 - N - 8” show that your dishes were made in December 1950 at Laughlin’s plant Number 8.
