A Little Of: This And That

Carl Arnold told me Monday that he and Mrs. Arnold would observe their wedding anniversary on Tuesday. Now Carl didn’t say what anniversary it would be, but 1 know it has been several years. I just want to offer my congratulations to a wonderful couple and best wishes for the future. 000 Lois Cowgill informed me that the World War I Barracks 114 and Auxiliary will meet this coming Friday at 6:30 p.m. at the Gen. Jesse M. Lee Post 1550 Home. There will be a carry-in dinner and following the meeting there will be a demonstration of the voting machines to be used in Putnam County for the first time on primary election day, Mav 7th. 000 Talk about a page from the past. Ray (Deacon} Mize was in the office to see me, but 1 had gone for the day. Deacon is a former well known Greencastle man, who is now living in New York City. He has been gone from here, off and one, between 40 and 50 years. I understand that during his present visit he is staying at the Commercial Hotel. If my memory serves me correctly. 1 believe Deacon was an

outstanding baseball player locally many years ago. I am certainly sorry that I missed him. 000 DID YOU KNOW: In the Middle Ages, the giving of a glove was a ceremony of investiture in bestowing land and dignities. Likewise during the reign of Edward II of England, the deprivation of gloves was a ceremony of degradation. 000 The Haida Indians were the Vikings of North America’s west coast, trading and raiding in 50-foot-long canoes. Settlers brought European diseases that decimated the tribe and today only 1,500 live on the Queen Charlotte islands off British Columbia. 000 Lotteries, raising monies for public as well as private ends, originated in Florence, Italy, about 1530. 000 Scientists estimate that about 80 per cent of the world’s supply of natural fresh water is locked in the South Pole's ice cap. 000 Alexander Graham Bell's patent for the telephone—No. 174,465, issued on March 7, 1876—otten has been called the most valuable single patent in history. 000 “All things except silence bring repentance.”
