TIDBITS® TAKES A LOOK ATTHE HISTORY OF TOYS

by T.A. Tafoya

There is a good story behind almost every toy. Sometimes the story is as entertaining as the toy itself! This week, Tidbits takes a look at how some toys were invented and how others got their names.

• President Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt is responsible for giving the teddy bear its name. In November of 1902, Roosevelt was helping settle a border dispute between Mississippi and Louisiana. While there, he attended a bear hunt in Mississippi. His staff, trying to accommodate him, captured a black bear cub and tied it to a tree for the president to shoot. Roosevelt didn’t find this sporting enough and ordered the bear cub be set free, sparing its life. The Washington Post ran an editorial cartoon that illustrated the event. The cartoon was called “Drawing the Line in Mississippi” and depicted both the state line dispute and the bear hunt. The cartoon and the story it told became popular, and within a year, the cartoon bear became a toy for children called the teddy bear.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

• On May 23, 1701, at London's Execution Dock, British privateer William Kidd, popularly known as Captain Kidd, is hanged for five charges of piracy and one charge of murdering a crewman. A colorful Kidd legend included reports of lost buried treasure that fortune seekers have pursued for centuries.

• On May 24, 1883, after 14 years and 27 deaths while being constructed, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York is opened, the largest suspension

bridge ever built to that date.

• On May 27, 1894, Dashiell Hammett, author of "The Maltese Falcon," is born in Maryland. He worked as a Pinkerton detective for eight years and turned his experiences into fiction. The novel was filmed three times: once in 1931; again in 1936 under the title "Satan Met a Lady," starring Bette Davis; and finally in 1941, starring Humphrey Bogart.

• On May 26, 1927, the final and 15 millionth Model T Ford rolls out of the factory, on the official last day of production. Introduced in October 1908, the Model T -- also known as the "Tin Lizzie" -- got about 13 to 21 miles per gallon of gasoline and could travel up to 45 mph.

• On May 29, 1953, Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal, become the first explorers to reach the summit of Mount Everest, the highest point on earth.

At 29,035 feet above sea level, the low-oxygen summit of Everest reaches two-thirds of the way through the air of earth's atmosphere -- at about the cruising altitude of jet airliners.

• On May 25, 1977, George Lucas' blockbuster movie "Star Wars" opens in American theaters. With its groundbreaking special effects, "Star Wars" was soon a bona-fide pop culture phenomenon, spawning five more feature films, five TV series and an entire industry's worth of comic books, toys and video games.

• On May 28, 1983, Irene Cara's song "Flashdance (What a Feeling)", from the "Flashdance" movie soundtrack, goes to the top of the U.S. pop charts. The song helped propel the relatively low-budget film to the No. 3 spot on the total box-office revenue list for the year.

TOYS (continued):

• “What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slinkity sound? A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing, everyone knows it’s Slinky. It’s Slinky; it’s Slinky. For fun it’s a wonderful toy. It’s Slinky; it’s Slinky. It’s fun for a girl and a boy.” This catchy advertising jingle helped sell a quite simple toy that was created in 1943 by naval engineer Richard James. He was working with tension springs, and when one of the springs fell to the ground and “walked” end over end along the floor, an idea for a toy was born. After borrowing $500, James and his wife Betty started the James Spring & Wire Company. He designed a machine that he made himself to manufacture Slinkys. They began producing and selling the coiled wire as a toy in 1945. Each one is made of 80 feet of wire, and to date, over a quarter billion Slinkys have been sold worldwide.

• In 1916, Frank Lloyd Wright and his son John Lloyd Wright supervised constriction of the Imperial Palace Hotel in Tokyo. The hotel was assembled with an inner frame of wood to withstand earthquakes. John was inspired by this method of building, and it gave him the idea to create a line of sturdy, interlocking toy building logs sold as Lincoln Logs.

• 1940, during World War II, rubber in the United States was scarce and the shortage began to hamper war production efforts, especially for truck tires and boots. American industry was called upon by the government to develop a synthetic rubber compound. James Wright, an engineer working for General Electric, experimented with combining boric acid and silicone oil in a test tube. The compound “polymerized,” resulting in a bizarre substance with unusual properties. It bounced, stretched and could be broken in pieces, yet it had no practical use.


May 22 - 28Page 3

TOYS (continued):• In 1949, the mixture eventually made its way to

a toy-shop owner who put some of the “Nutty Putty,” (as she called it) in her holiday toy catalog. It out-sold everything but Crayola® crayons. The name was later changed to Silly Putty, and it is now sold by Binney & Smith, the makers of Crayola. More than 4,500 tons of Silly Putty, enough to fill the Goodyear blimp, have been made since 1950.

• Back in the 1870s, a baker named William Frisbie of Bridgeport, Connecticut, had a clever marketing idea. He put the family name in relief on the bottom of the reusable tin pans his company’s homemade pies were sold in. The idea was that every time the pan was used, the person baking would see the name Frisbie. Mr. Frisbie’s pies were sold throughout Connecticut. It was at Yale University sometime in the 1940s where students used the pie tins to play catch, whizzing them through the air.

• A decade later in California, a flying-saucer enthusiast named Walter Morrison designed a saucer-like disk as a toy for throwing. It was produced by a company named Wham-O. While on a promotional tour of college campuses, the president of Wham-O encountered the pie-plate-tossing craze at Yale. And so the flying saucer from California was renamed after the pie plate from Connecticut. The spelling was changed from Frisbie to Frisbee to avoid any legal problems.

Toy makers have made an interesting observation. Statistics show that in the United States, when the divorce rate goes up so do the sales of toys. Manufactures are not sure why there is a correlation but speculate that due to the rising number of parents now single and competing for the affections of their children, as well as looking to lessen guilt over breaking up the family, many may be overcompensating by buying more toys for their children.

My five-year-old son squealed with delight when he opened his birthday present from his grandmother. It was a water pistol. He promptly ran to the sink to fill it.“Mom,” I said. “I’m surprised at you. Don’t you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water pistols?”My mom smiled and said, “Yes, I remember.”

10 REASONSWhy Isagenix® is Your Anti-Aging Solution1. SLOW AGING FROM THE INSIDE OUTIsagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing™ products help eliminate harmful toxins and impurities from the body that can accelerate the aging process. These products also replenish the body with crucial nutrients for optimal health. The Rejuvity and other anti-aging products also address the need for optimal cellular nutrition that ultimately creates a new level of wellness, vitality, and youthful appearance from the inside out.

2. ADDRESS AGING ON ALL FRONTS-NOT JUST SKINThe skin is largely an indication of how the body is aging. If the body has been abused, neglected and malnourished, then the skin will reflect this. However, if the body’s cells, tissues and organs are protected from harmful pollutants and replenished with crucial nutrients, the skin will reflect this level of health by appearing vibrant, glowing and youthful.

3. NO HARSH CHEMICALS OR IRRITANTSThe anti-aging products in the Rejuvity and IsaDermix® lines do not use any harsh, irritating chemicals or compounds, including phthalates or parabens. Other common products that include harsh compounds often require downtime and may damage the skin further.

4. PROMOTE SKIN’S NATURAL PROCESSESAgeless Renewal Serum and other anti-aging skin products help minimize the appearance of deep wrinkles, support collagen production, improve elasticity and tone, and increase firmness by helping the skin remember what it has forgotten as we age.

5. BOOST ENERGY, VITALITY, AND OVERALL HEALTHIn addition to the superior skin care, Rejuvity and other Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing products slow biological aging of the entire body, leading to enhanced energy and a new level of vitality and improved overall wellness.6. SUPPORTED BY SCIENCEAll of the ingredients in Rejuvity and the other Isagenix anti-aging and replenishing products are supported by scientific research. In addition, many of the company’s own products - including Ageless Renewal Serum - have been specifically investigated in scientific trials with extremely positive results. A recent trial on Ageless Renewal Serum showed a 92% increase in the overall improvement of the skin, and the CoQ10 used in Ageless Actives has been shown to be 800% more absorbable than standard powder forms used in other products.

7. SUPERIOR QUALITYIsagenix prides itself in using only the highest quality ingredients. With Rejuvity and other anti-aging product lines, this commitment to quality continues.8. UNMATCHED INGREDIENT FORMULATIONSAll of the Isagenix product lines boast unmatched ingredient profiles you can’t find in any other product. These include the growth factors, polypeptides and actives in Ageless Renewal Serum, the lipid-based CoQ10 in Ageless Actives, and many more.

9. ISAGENIX IS AHEAD OF THE CURVEThe Isagenix Quality, Regulatory, Technology, Science (QRTS) teams use the latest scientific research to create life-changing products, thus solidifying its position as an industry leader.

Getting Ready to Buy a Home

If you hope to buy a home soon, there are steps you can take in advance to make sure you're in the best possible position when the time comes.Your first step should be to seek pre-approval -- a written letter from a lender. (If you apply to multiple lenders within a few weeks, it won't count against you on your credit report to have so many inquiries.) Having a lender letter will give you a leg up in knowing just what price range to shop and can make you look better in any negotiations with a seller.If you discover credit problems or mistakes, fix those first to help qualify for a lower interest rate. Over

the years, those extra interest dollars can add up to tens of thousands.By seeking lender pre-approval, you'll also be able to learn which lenders will give you what you'll want most: a

fixed-rate loan. A stable rate over the years will give the security of knowing what your payment will be each month.Don't make the mistake of buying at the top of your price range. Just because a lender approves you for a certain amount of money doesn't mean to have to spend that much. Consider future possibilities (loss of a job, an additional child in the family) and aim to spend less than 90 percent of what you're approved for.Engage the services of a licensed real-estate agent, if only to gain access to the Multiple Listing Service. Ask for referrals before you work with an agent to make sure you don't fall prey to any scams. Start by looking at home types on Realtor.com to narrow down your

target area and wish list.Learn how to really "see" a property as you shop. A sturdy home with only cosmetic flaws can increase in value through the years if you're willing to do a little work. A property that needs a lot of serious repair can end up as a money pit and jeopardize both your savings and your ability to make your monthly payments.Stay clear of neighborhoods with lots of For Sale signs. Those indicate an area in transition, and you won't know if it's moving up or down.

TOYS (continued):• What we know today as the Yo-Yo is possibly

the second oldest toy in the world after dolls. Ancient Greek yo-yos made of terra cotta are displayed in museums and pictured on the walls of Egyptian temples. The yo-yo is known to have been popular with Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington. In the 1920s, a Philippine immigrant named Pedro Flores came to Santa Monica and worked as a bellhop. He had grown up carving and playing with wooden yo-yos, which was a traditional pastime in the Philippines. On his coffee breaks, Flores always drew a crowd playing games with his yo-yo. He became the first person to mass-produce the toy and is responsible for the name Yo-Yo, which means “come-come” in Philippine. An entrepreneur named Donald Duncan saw the Flores toy, liked it, bought the rights from Flores in 1929, and then trademarked the name Yo-Yo. Duncan changed the string from a tied knot to the looped slip-string, which allows the user to do advanced tricks.

• In 1767 London, an engraver and mapmaker named John Spilsbury created the first jigsaw puzzle as an aid in teaching students geography. He glued a map of England and Wales on a sheet of hardwood and cut around the borders of the countries using a fine-bladed saw. The jigsaw puzzle was born. The idea caught on, and people began making puzzles out of pictures as a form of entertainment. These early jigsaw puzzles did not interlock; that wasn’t possible until the invention of power tools more than a century later. In 1880, Milton Bradley made the first jigsaw puzzle for children called “The Smashed Up Locomotive.”

High Fashion Downtown! Eastern WY Tidbits is excited to help promote the opening of the new store “Allure” in downtown Douglas. Allure is locally owned and operated by Megan Tillard. Located on Center Street across from the Douglas Budget, the store specializes in women’s apparel and accessories. Allure has a wide variety of styles and sizes to match and fit the various shapes and personalities of Douglas and surrounding areas. On the store’s grand opening day, Allure’s clothing was showcased in a fashion show held by the ladies of First Baptist Church in Douglas. In the fashion show were three generations of women, each of the women were able to find multiple outfits to show off at ladies night. Megan’s main goal with Allure is to provide stylish and unique clothing locally. At Allure, you can find a classy, trendy or casual outfit for any occasion. While there is a large variety of styles, there are only a few of each individual item to preserve the uniqueness for the customer. Suppor ting Douglas and it’s small business owners is very impor tant to Megan. This is represented in her store by extremely competitive pricing with similar stores in other areas. It’s recently become more feasible to stay in Douglas to eat out, go to the theater, or have a day at the spa. Now you can add shopping to the list!
