prices for cash or country produce. THOMAS C. PERRY THE OLD SONG—The Republican Advocate, Thursday, June 22, 1837 When Mr. Jefferson was President, Federalism reared its head amid the calamities of that day, and its partisans were goaded in deeds of madness and desperation by exhortations like this--“Be resolute; act like the sons of liberty, of old, and of your country. Nerve your arms with vengeance against the despot, who would wirst the inestimable gem of your independence from you. Give ear no longer to the syren voice of Democracy and Jeffersonian liberty. It is a cursed delusion adopted by traitors and recommended by sycophants. When Mr. Madison was President, the Federal Republican, a leading publication of that day, uttered this prediction. “On or before the 4th of July, if James Madison is not out of office, a new Government will be in operation in the Eastern section of the Union.” Mr. Madison cannot complete his tem of service if the war continues…. …Now Mr. VanBuren is President, Mr. Gould is ready to march to Washington with 100 thousand men, to overturn the Government, and assassinate the Chief Magistrate of the country, as suggested by a Federal Journal. Thus has Federalism always croaked and threatened since the formation of our confederacy, and even before, whenever its will was thwarted. But the safety of our Union depends not upon an individual, but upon the fidelity of the Democratic Party to the principles maintained by their fathers—men who opposed the Assumption and the Excise Laws—the Bill to charter the first United States Bank, and who declared their determination not to permit the Constitution to be constructed into a Monarchy, or to be warped in practice into all the pollutions of the English Constitution.---Boston Statesman.

“And this over here” croaked the 90 year old museum tour guide, “is a fossil 4 million and 69 years old, on it’s left you can see another fossil that’s 2 million and 69 years old.” “Wow!

A Nostalgic Holiday Season

by Randy Wilson Now & TheN Contributor

ather ‘round your radio folks, it’s time for The Cinnamon Bear. The Cinnamon Bear is an old-time radio program specifically designed to be listened to six days a week between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was first broadcast between November 26 and December 25, 1937. The program was off the air briefly due to syndication problems but was back nationally in full force by 1940. The story focused on Judy and Jimmy Barton who go to the enchanted world of Maybeland to recover their missing Silver Star that belongs on their Christmas tree. Helping on the search is the Cinnamon Bear, a stuffed bear with shoebutton eyes and a green ribbon around his neck. They meet other memorable characters during their quest, including the Crazy Quilt Dragon (who repeatedly tries to take the star for himself), the Wintergreen Witch, Fe Fo the Giant and Santa Claus. The voice of The Cinnamon Bear was provided by Buddy Duncan, a midget and vaudeville comedian. Many notable radio voices lent their talents, including Joseph Kearns as The Crazy Quilt Dragon, Gale Gordon as Weary Willie the Stork and Oliver Ostrich and Howard McNear as Samuel the Seal and Slim Pickins the Cowboy. The three actors are probably better known as George Wilson (Kearns) and John Wilson (Gordon) from Dennis the Menace and Floyd the Barber

(McNear) from The Andy Griffith Show. The radio show proved to be so popular that it is said to have been broadcast by a station somewhere in the world every year during the holidays, even today. A Cinnamon Bear television series began in 1951 with the characters as hand puppets and the radio program provided the soundtrack. The radio show is available to enjoy today on CD and three episodes from the TV show are available on DVD. The Cinnamon Bear in the Adventure of the Silver Star book was published in 2007. All three of these are worth checking out for a nostalgic look at the past. Movies were always an important part of the holiday season, and for more than a century, Hollywood has sought to capture life’s magical moments on film. No moments are more magical than those surrounding the Christmas season. While almost every American family has made a holiday ritual of watching It’s a Wonderful Life, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street, there are many lesserknown films that also embrace the season. This holiday season, in addition to those best-loved classics, take a look at some of Hollywood’s finest holiday movies you may have never heard of. All are available for you to enjoy at home. The Three Godfathers is the Nativity story of the Three Wise

Men transformed into a late 1800s Western. Three bandits rob the bank of New Jerusalem and head for the desert, where they meet a young woman dying of thirst, her baby in her arms. Before she dies, she makes the desperados promise to save her child at all costs. Two of the men succumb to thirst, leaving one lone man to carry on, honoring the promise made to the mother. On Christmas morning, the survivor makes it back to New Jerusalem and delivers the baby to a congregation gathered to celebrate the birth of Christ. By saving the child, he redeems his outlaw soul before dying on the church floor. The Three Godfathers has been remade seven times, the best-known version being John Ford’s 1948 film with John Wayne. However, in this version, the lone survivor (Wayne) lives to be reunited with his godson. The John Wayne film is the only version available on home video. Preston Sturges made two films with Christmas overtones. Remember the Night, (1940) with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray, is the story of a district attorney who feels sorry for a petty shoplifter (with whom he ends up falling in love) and postpones her trial until after Christmas, taking her home for the holidays. The film offers just the right balance of laughter, tears and nostalgia for perfect Christmas movie ingredients. Moreover, it shows the importance of family. The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek (1944) is a brilliant comedy starring Betty Hutton as Trudie Kockenlocker, who attends a series of parties one night and is impregnated by a mysterious soldier whose name she can’t remember. Her faithful boyfriend, Eddie Bracken, sticks by her, but her shame turns to triumph when she gives birth on Christmas morning to sextuplets and puts Morgan’s Creek on the map. The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek was the biggest money-maker of 1944 and lives on both as a classic frantic comedy and a very peculiar-but-great Christmas movie. A Midnight Clear, (1991) ranks with Platoon and Apocalypse Now for its stunning emotional impact and while you’d never think of these as Christmas movies, A Midnight Clear is. Set during December 1944, it is the story of a U.S.Army intelligence platoon sent on a dangerous mission to the German front. Constant fear and unremitting tension build as the greenhorn recruits search out the enemy. But when they finally discover a Nazi camp, they find a small band of frightened soldiers not unlike themselves. A tentative truce is forged as the two platoons overcome their fear to celebrate Christmas together. But soon the tides of war change, and their separate peace explodes into horrifying violence. Intense, suspenseful and mesmerizing, A Midnight Clear is both a shattering indictment

of war and a searing testament to courage. Ethan Hawke, Kevin Dillon, Arye Gross and Gary Sinise lead a superb ensemble cast through this must-see motion picture. Vincente Minnelli’s Meet Me in St. Louis, (1944) is the story of the perfect mid-western family in which, at Christmas, Dad decides to move to New York because of business. Everyone is plunged into depression and when father realizes his family’s happiness is more important than money, he decides to stay in St. Louis. The film features one of the movies most famous Yuletide moments— Judy Garland singing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Selznick International Pictures’ 1944 release Since You Went Away endures because of its realistic portrayal of how World War II impacted the lives of those who were left behind when the war started. The gripping ensemble drama — which makes a perfect double feature with The Best Years of Our Lives” stars Claudette Colbert as Anne Hilton, a Midwestern housewife whose husband

is serving in the war. Uncertain of what his fate will be and what the future holds, she tries to remain brave and attempts to keep some normalcy in the lives of her teenage daughters Bridget (Shirley Temple) and Jane (Jennifer Jones). As the war drags on, the lives of the Hiltons and others impacted by the seemingly endless fighting, the characters all find themselves in a world full of fear, love, and, perhaps most of all, hope. With a superb supporting cast that includes Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead, and Lionel Barrymore, the film has an end sequence set on Christmas Eve. This isn’t a holiday film per se, but one whose unforgettable ending has added weight during this time of the year.

Then there’s my top 5 favorite Christmas movies of all time. 1. The Bishop’s Wife

When I first saw this film on TV in the 1970s, it was not the annual holiday favorite that it is today. Its stature has grown exponentially since then, and it’s typically listed among the best films of all three of its stars: Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven. Aside from its magical moments (e.g., the angel Dudley’s visit with the professor, the ice skating scene, etc.), what I admire most about The Bishop’s Wife is Grant’s performance. For once, despite his looks and charm, he doesn’t get the girl. Furthermore, Dudley becomes jealous and, in one scene, perhaps a little petty. In the hands of a less gifted actor, this often human-like angel could have posed a problem. But Grant provides all the required character shading and still keeps Dudley likable. That was one of his greatest gifts as a performer.

2. A Christmas Story

Jean Shepherd’s nostalgic, affectionate childhood memories– centered around his Christmas wish for a Red Ryder BB rifle– come to life in this perfect family film. It’s a funny comedy, to be sure, but it’s the little family scenes that make this one special (e.g., when Mom has Randy play “piggy in the trough” to finish his dinner). This deft blend of warmth, humor, and the spirit of childhood is tough to capture on film. Jean Shepherd and director Bob Clark tried again with a 1994 sequel called It Runs in the Family, which featured a different cast. Despite some amusing scenes, it lacks that special spark. (If you can find it, a better sequel is the TV-movie Ollie Hopnoodle’s Haven of Bliss, which also features Ralphie’s family).

3. It’s a Wonderful Life

Repeated showings on television may have diminished its

6 | Now & Then

impact for many people…but I still remember its emotional wallop when I first saw Frank Capra‘s holiday classic. Certainly, except for Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, no Christmas tale has maintained such an enduring appeal and influenced popular culture. Hey, even Dallas did an episode in which J.R. Ewing was shown what would have happened to others if he had never existed. While there is much to admire in It’s a Wonderful Life, what always draws me to the film is James Stewart in his first great post-World War II performance.

4. White Christmas and Holiday Inn OK, I’m cheating by listing two films in one slot, but it’s hard to separate these two Bing Crosby musicals that featured his biggest hit song. When I was young, I preferred Holiday Inn because it wasn’t shown frequently on television and contained a rare Crosby-Astaire pairing. As a adult, my preference shifted solidly to White Christmas. Its detractors harp about the flimsy plot, but with such an incredible cast and Irving Berlin’s songs, who cares? Danny Kaye is at the top of his game and has probably his best dance number with The Best Things Happen While You’re Dancing with the underrated Vera-Ellen. Plus, Bing duets with Rosemary Clooney (who never sounded better) on Count Your Blessings. It’s worth mentioning that versatile Michael Curtiz directed– the one who helmed Casablanca, The Adventures of Robin Hood, and many other memorable movies.

5. Christmas in Connecticut

Barbara Stanwyck so excelled playing “bad girls” in classics like Double Indemnity that her comedic skills are sometimes overlooked. She is simply marvelous in this fine example of a “snowball comedy” in which a simple situation quickly gets out of control. In Christmas in Connecticut, Ms. Stanwyck plays a food and style critic for a popular magazine–the only problem being she has no actual experience. When she’s required to play the part, she convinces friends to help out pull off the deception, to include getting a fake husband and baby. The supporting cast includes scene-stealing character actors such as Sydney Greenstreet, S.Z. “Cuddles” Sakall, and Una O’Connor. Honorable mentions: Miracle on 34th Street; A Christmas Carol (the Alastair Sim version is my favorite); The Shop Around the Corner and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. What’s your favorite Christmas movie?

ecovering from incidents that can impact mobility and range of motion takes time, but physical therapy can help the body acclimate to regular activity once more. Physical therapy also can help healthy people as well. Those who have suffered a sprain or a broken bone or even spent a duration of time immobile in the hospital due to an illness are often prescribed physical therapy as part of their follow-up treatment. Physical therapy programs try to progressively increase strength, improve mobility and help the body return to a state where it can function as best as possible. In many cases, a person can regain his or her original capabilities. According to the American Physical Therapy Association, a physical therapist is a trained and licensed medical professional who has the experience

to diagnose physical abnormalities, restore physical function and mobility, maintain that function, and promote proper form for future activity. Physical therapy sessions can take place in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, fitness settings, private practices, and much more. Not only can physical therapists react to and treat an injury, but they can also teach exercises, stretches and techniques to help prevent problems in the first place. Experts at Bay State Physical Therapy indicate that physical therapy extends beyond disabled or injured people. Physical therapists can educate a person on weaknesses in the body and can guide correction on poor body mechanics that cause pain. This way a person can make changes to prevent future pain and injury. Rather than being reactionary, healthy individuals can take a proactive approach to avoiding pain and injury.

While physical therapy can be used for recovery from strokes or paralysis, injuries, trauma, and musculoskeletal conditions, it also benefits healthy people. For example, women can use physical therapy to learn exercises that may prevent pelvic floor dysfunction. In addition, physical therapy can teach people how to improve their balance and prevent falls. When people hear about physical therapy, they tend to think it is for people with injuries.

Special Feature

Anderson does the research,

leads campaign for statue of man for whom city is named

by TAMI MOSSER Local columnist

WOOSTER — How well do you know Wooster? Not the city, but rather the man for whom it is named. At first glance, General David Wooster would seem forgotten and far removed from Ohio’s 52nd largest city and seat of the state’s 24th largest county. But Wooster, a Connecticut native who died before the United States won its independence, was a Yale graduate, an entrepreneur and a Revolutionary War hero whose contributions to a new nation may well have been largely forgotten were it not for a local history teacher determined to give Wooster his due. And now, Jason Anderson wants to make sure that every resident of Wooster gets a good look at the man behind the name. Anderson, a Wooster native who chairs the social studies department at Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, recently completed a master’s thesis on Wooster and now is leading the campaign to have a bronze statue of him placed on the front lawn of the Wayne County Public Library in downtown Wooster. He recalled seeing a portrait of Wooster hanging in a local coffee shop when he was a kid, right alongside a portrait of Chief Killbuck. Anderson was intrigued and as an adult learned some basic facts about the man, even portraying him in the 2008 Wooster Bicentennial Chautauqua. But in the past few years, Anderson — who has a master’s degree in education — needed a master’s in history in order to teach College Credit Plus courses at Hoban. And what better subject but a seemingly forgotten American revolutionary? Piecing together Wooster’s story turned into a dogged period of research that took Anderson everywhere from Connecticut to Mount Vernon. Because Wooster’s letters were lost when the British burned New Haven during the American Revolution, Anderson had to go

14 | Now & Then

elsewhere in search of source material. What he found was letters written by Wooster that had been kept by the recipients and later went to libraries and museums. And he was impressed by Wooster, a man who lost everything — including his life — in the fight for America’s independence. He was a disciplinarian military leader with no taste for the politics of war but a true love of freedom. “I do a lot with (George) Washington,” in roles of both teacher and historian, said Anderson, who has a portrait of America’s first president hanging over the fireplace of his Wooster home. “But Wooster? He’s neck and neck.” There was another master’s thesis on Wooster, written in the early 1900s and sitting on a shelf in the Wayne County Public Library’s genealogy department. But children and teenagers aren’t disposed to reading scholarly works, so Anderson decided to turn his thesis into a student- and teacherfriendly website — https://sites.google.com/hoban. org/generaldavidwooster/interactive-program-onthe-life-of-david-wooster — complete with period music, maps, timelines and even recordings of himself reading Wooster’s letters. Someone, Anderson said, told him, “You’re not going to make any money on this (website).” But, he countered, “I’m not trying to make money on this. I’m a teacher.” But he’s also a Wooster fan and he wants local residents to know Wooster the way he has come to know him. So when the subject of a statue came up, Anderson was referred to Zanesville-based sculptor Alan Cottrill, who has created bronzes of Thomas Edison, Woody Hayes and Jesse Owens. Cottrill, who also has become intrigued about Wooster, agreed. The project budget is $85,000, which Anderson said includes all materials, Cottrill’s time and labor, landscaping work at the library, the installation of the statue, several bronze educational boards that will be placed near the statue and the cost of yearly maintenance. And this general isn’t going to sit on a pedestal. Wooster will stand, sword drawn, on a simple slab, ready for photos. Contributors of $25,000 or more will receive an 18-inch scale bronze statue of Wooster, an exact replica of the one being commissioned. Donations may be sent to the Wayne County Community Foundation, 517 N. Market St., Wooster. The statue at the library, which Anderson hopes to see installed next summer, will be the only one in the U.S., as his Connecticut burial site is marked with a standard monument. “I hope somebody would have latched on” to researching Wooster, said Anderson. “But I’m that somebody, so I don’t have to worry about what might have been.” And he’s excited about giving the general the attention he’s due. Wooster, he said, “is all of ours. He’s not a mascot. He’s an American hero.”

So you think you know Wooster? General David Wooster

1. He was born in Connecticut in 1711, the youngest of six children of Abraham and Mary Wooster. All early records of his life were lost when the British burned New Haven in 1779. 2. His first military command was as the captain of the sloop Defense during The War of Jenkins’ Ear — a battle between the British and Spanish for the domination of the Caribbean Islands. The conflict during the 1740s took its name from the British merchant captain Robert Jenkins, who was believed to have his ear cut off by a Spaniard who attacked Jenkins’s ship while at sea. That is how wars sometimes begin. 3. The only known portrait of Wooster was made in London and shows him in his British uniform. Wooster had been received in London by King George II and rewarded with the position of Captain of the Regulars in the 51st Regiment of Foot for his heroics at the Siege of Louisbourg during the War of Jenkins’ Ear. His death is depicted in a painting by Constantino Brumidi which can be found in the Senate Appropriations Committee suite in the U.S. Capitol building. 4. Wooster also fought and commanded troops during the French and Indian War. 5. At the age of 65, he was the oldest American general in the Revolutionary War — 22 years older than George Washington. 6. He devised the strategy that allowed Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold to capture Fort Ticonderoga in 1775, though Allen an Arnold are typically given credit.

7. Wooster was shot through the spine while on horseback rallying his troops during the Battle of Ridgefield, Connecticut and died three days later in Danbury, his wife and son at his side. His last words were about his hopes for American independence. 8. Due to the urgency of the battle, Wooster was buried in haste and without a funeral. Nearly 80 years later, when the Connecticut General Assembly ordered a monument to placed at his gravesite, no one even knew where his final resting place was, except for the by-then elderly black man who had buried the body in 1777. 9. Because he’d used much of his own money to support his troops in the field, Wooster’s widow, Mary Wooster, was left financially strapped and sought President Washington’s assistance in securing a job for her son, which Washington said his position prevented him from doing. 10. American poet Phillis Wheatley composed “On the Death of General Wooster” in July 1778. 11. Though there are other “Woosters” — both incorporated and unincorporated — Wooster, Ohio is the only municipality to be named in honor of Wooster. 12.There was not one man, but likely many men, who suggested the Wayne County seat be named in Wooster’s memory. Wayne County was the final resting place of of 51 Revolutionary War veterans, 13 of whom were from Connecticut. One veteran, who is buried in Fredericksburg, also was Wooster’s former neighbor.
