He said with tongue in cheek

by DONNA ELLIS

He sits in the plush velvet chair in his living room. His left cheek is puffed with the wad of Red Man tobacco he has securely tucked inside. His lidded one-pound coffee can-cum-cuspidor is near to hand — and mouth “I notice a lot more people chewing tobacco these days," Joseph Coleman drawls. “A lot of people start chewing it when they quit smoking And a lot of young people start chewing it when they quit smoking And a lot of young people start chewing it as an alternative to taking up smoking “I coach a soccer team of 14-year-oids,” Coleman continues, “and at least half of them chew regularly. I know one boy who’s papenng his room with chewing tobacco packages. ’ ’ “Some of the (soccer) parents say the kids are chewing because they're emulating me.” says the 25-year veteran of the art “but I don’t really promote tobacco chewing among young people I don't buy it for them and I don’t let them chew at practice or during games.” “You really shouldn't chew if you wear braces,” Coleman cautions “And you've got to have really good dental habits, because it can badly stain your teeth I’ve been at it for 25 years and my dentist is amazed at how clean my teeth still are. ” Coleman says he never did smoke cigarettes He began chewing when he was about 13 and was working on a farm The haylofts were dry and dusty, he recalls, and someone suggested a chaw of tobacco to keep the saliva flowing while he worked “I never got sick from it.” Coleman remembers. “Some people do at first Probably because they forget not to swallow." “But the more you chew, the less this bothers you. Now I can even chew and drink coffee at the same time " Coleman considers himself a “little better than a semi-pro’’ chewer And though he's never entered a spitting contest, he claims he’s in the 20-to-30 foot category. That's horizontal, of course. “If you’re up on a high beam doing construction work." be grins., “you can spit down a lot further But you have to be real careful where you aim. If the wind is wrong you can get a lot of people mad at you.” Besides the fact that the Surgeon General hasn’t ordered chewing tobacco labeled as

hazardous. Coleman believes its rising popularity is due to the macho-man type commercials on television and the current country-western fad. But even among tobacco ch ewers there’s a certain amount of snobbism. “I prefer scrap over plug tobacco. I can get a bigger chew with the scrap,”' says Coleman, who considers half of a 13-ounce package just about the right size for his cheek. “Besides," he adds, “the plugs are more flavored. Heck, if you want a Wintergreen or peppermint flavor, you might as well get a pack of Life Savers.” And some new chewers are giving the more experienced a “bad name” Coleman says, “Some young kids go around with tobacco juice dribbling down their chins, or they’re using the flavored stuff. Or they even wrap itupina piece of bubble gum. " “And they’ll try to chew during a half-hour lunch break. Why, you con't even work up a good spit the first half hour you have it in your mouth.” This is all very discouraging to Coleman, who says tobacco chewers have always gotten “bad press. ” *‘We're always very generous.” he insists. "We always offer a chaw to other people. We don’t spit on floors. I never spat on another person either. And I don’t chew at work.” “People don't seem to mind wet cigar butts or smelly cigarettes hanging around But they seem to take exception to someone quietly spitting into a lidded coffee can or a taped-up jar.” “And in public buildings.” Coleman continues with a slightly injured air. “they make concessions to smokers. .You see ashtrays, but you never see any cuspidors ” “By and large most tobacco chewers are clean and neat and considerate of others,” Coleman concludes, “and a lot more tolerant, too.” Why does Coleman continue in the face of such intolerance’’ “It’s a habit,” he admits,. “Like snacking after supper And it relaxes me . ” Os course, are other advantages. Consider these. • Eliminates the fire hazards associated with smoking “You never saw a tobacco chewer start a forest fire by throwing a lit chew on the ground.” Coleman says, “or a fisherman catch his boat engine on fire with a lit spit. And it’s good in the hospital, especially in areas where they're using oxygen. ' • Good for dieters. “Most people don’t eat when they’re chewing ’’ • Children are fascinated by it. “I used to baby-sit for seven kids.” Coleman recalls, “and when I picked up that can to spit, everything would stop • When you host a party of chewers you never get that stale cigarette odor next day. “Os course, I’m not sure I want to boat a party made up entirely of chewers,” Coleman muses. Usadvaatagos: • It’s harder to pick up a gfrl if you're chewing. For some reason, girls are more leery of chewers than smokers. • At the drive-in you may forget to open the car utadow , • Your spouse twuatty doesn t want to Um you wuen you’re chewing. “And French out, quips • If you forget yaurseif and spit into the wind, you're In trouble “You’ll probably only do that <mee.“ Coteman adds.

STEAM ENGINE — Retired printer John Benson of New Paris explains the operation of an electric “steam engine" io his grandson, Jeffrey, son of Jay Benson, also of New Paris. The engine operates on 24 volts supplied by two automotive batteries in the “boiler," a one-half hp motor, and a gearbox. Power is connected to the rear axle via motorcycle sprockets and chain. Benson built this one-third scale model in his spare time over several years, using photos of a big steamer to get size and proportion of parts. The drive wHeels are fabricated, but front wheels are from a corn planter, the flywheel from an onion planter, the steering wheel from a printing press. He plans to have construction details printed and available later this year. “Grandpa, it's too slow f is the complaint of some of Benson's other grandchildren. But its slow speed is part of the "design" to make it safe for children to use.
