BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO JUNE 8-14, 1934 • The opening of the new Route 86 between Hollister and Blue Eye creates a new scenic drive through this section of the Ozarks: Highway 60 from Monett to Marionville, Highway 13 from Marionville to the cut-off between U.S. 65 and Highway 13 near Reeds Spring, Highway 65 through Branson, Hollister and on to the junction of 65 and Highway 86, Highway 86 from the junction to Blue Eye, Highway 13 from Blue Eye to Route H, Route H to Viola and Shell Knob, Route A from Shell Knob to Cassville, and Highway 37 from Cassville back to Monett.

• A young man fled from the Center Point filling station on Highway 60 without paying for gasoline and oil. The proprietor fired shots at him, hitting the car.

Springfield police traced the bullet holes and arrested Leo Green of Tashmino, Okla. in a house raid.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO JUNE 8-14, 1944 • Jim Harrison, home service chairman of the North Barry County Red Cross, said “Our home service department is virtually on 24-hour duty, as important messages must be acted upon immediately regardless of time or inconveniences. That may mean a long drive into the country or perhaps half a dozen telephone calls at midnight.”

• In response to the fifth War Loan Drive, Monett’s war bond quota of $195,000 was oversubscibed by more than $10,000 at a city-wide meeting held June 12 at the Park Casino. This is the third time that Monett has gone over the top with its

quota the first day of the drive.

SIXTY YEARS AGO JUNE 8-14, 1954 • On June 10, the Monett Police Department activated a new radio equipment network, allowing contact with law enforcement agencies in a 50-mile radius and requiring the hiring of a night-shift man to put the radio on a 24-hour-a-day operation.

• The Pierce City Chamber of Commerce is conducting a survey to determine the feeling of telephone users toward extended area service, which would permit inter-city phone calls between Monett and Pierce City at no extra toll cost. So far, 122 are in favor and 138 are against out of the 619 letters mailed.

FIFTY YEARS AGO JUNE 8-14, 1964 • Fifty-one trophies were awarded to archers from three states during the archery meeting held on June 7 at the local range, sponsored by the Monett Lost Arrow Archery Club.

• Kay concrete Materials Company, located on Poplar Street in Monett, will open a new plant in Mt. Vernon in about two weeks.

The corporation is owned and operated by R.F. Kay and his sons, Bob, vice president, and Rex, secretary-treasurer.

FORTY YEARS AGO JUNE 8-14, 1974 • The Monett City Council has voted to codify its city ordinances for the first time in 42 years.

Michie City Publication Company of Charlottesville, Va., was hired for the job and to print 50 copies in book form for $6,000.

• A contract has been awarded to Dick Ruestman

Monettans gained a new place to relax in comfort in the second week of June 1954, when the coffee shop at the Broadway Hotel at Fifth and Broadway reopened after several weeks of remodeling, including the installation of a dining room and air conditioning. Pictured are Clint Suit (half hidden), E.E. Camp and C.W. Collier in the foreground, Mrs. Helen Sagar, Edna Taylor and Mrs. C.B. Main at right, and Walt Reynaud, W.T. Stocker and Mayor Lewis Skaggs at the coffee shop counter. File photo/The Monett Times Construction Company of Joplin to build a new jail for Barry Council on East Street in Cassville for a total cost of $100,541. The current jail, located just south of the courthouse square in Cassville, was erected in 1908. the new building will be erected through federal revenue sharing funds.

THIRTY YEARS AGO JUNE 8-14, 1984 • Stopping in Monett during a five-day tour of 28 cities in 24 counties was Attorney General John Ashcroft, who met with employees of the International Dehydrated Foods plant and at the Wells Aluminum plant.

• Monett’s new postmaster, Herbert L. Coggin

was sworn in on June 11

by Robert Hahn, sectional center postmaster in Springfield. Coggin succeeded Joe Bill Edwards, who retired on Dec. 29, 1983.

TWENTY YEARS AGO JUNE 8-14, 1994 • Blame it on rainy weather or poor planning or sheer luck, but the $1.3 million viaduct replacement project on Highway 37 in Monett is done, except for some painting. However, that lack of paint has left the intersection at Central and Broadway very vague, and quite confusing to motorists. The Monett Police Department put out stop signs on barrels on June 8 to clarify the situation.

• A funny thing hap-

pened on the way to installing a handicapped access ramp at the Monett Post Office. The contractor from Arkansas hired to add the ramp on the front of the 1937 structure has not been able to find a bricklayer. So not only has the job taken longer, but the as-yet unused bricks have been stacked, ironically enough, in the handicapped parking space, in front of the building.

TEN YEARS AGO JUNE 8-14, 2004 • Monett school patrons passed a tax levy increase of 31 cents for the operating

fund by a major of 799 to 417, almost 2 to 1. Verona school patrons approved a Proposition C rollback in the special election on June 8.

• Monett is seen as a key partner in the plan to develop a “rails to trails” recreation facility on the railroad line that is being abandoned from Pierce City west to the Kansas border.

Principal organizer Ron Bertalotto described how a combined effort could construct a 60-mile recreational trail that would approach the size of the popular Katy Trail in central Missouri.

Husband’s betrayal puts his wife’s health at risk

DEAR ABBY: I just found out my husband was arrested for being with a hooker. My in-laws (whom I love and adore) bailed him out of jail. No one said a word about it to me. I don’t know how to confront all of them with the fact that I know about this “dirty little secret.”

What should I do?— BETRAYED WIFE

DEAR BETRAYED: First, visit your gynecologist and ask to be treated for every STD known to man. Then invite your in-laws to a “family dinner,” tell them the cat is out of the bag and ask why this was kept from you. And while you’re at it, ask your mother-inlaw (whom you love and adore) how SHE would feel if your father-in-law had possibly exposed her to an STD and it had been kept from her. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

DEAR ABBY: I’ll bet this is an issue in many homes. When my son “Chet” graduated from high school, we gave him a very nice graduation party, which included his friends and family. He received many gifts.

I gave my son thankyou cards, stamps, and a detailed list of whom to send the cards to. So far, he has refused. Chet is normally thoughtful and considerate. I don’t know what to do. I’m embarrassed by his lack

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY of gratitude. I have told him we have received thank-yous from his friends and that the cards can be brief. Should I send the thank-you notes myself, or just let it go?—EMBARRASSED MOM IN CALIFORNIA DEAR MOM: If the amount of mail I receive from readers complaining that their gifts are not acknowledged is an accurate barometer, your problem is very common.

Without being confrontational, ask your son why he refuses to thank the people who gave him gifts. If the answer is he doesn’t know what to say and he’s embarrassed that he has procrastinated, offer to help him by making suggestions.

You’re right; the thankyous don’t have to be lengthy. But DO NOT write them for him.

Chet is a big boy and the responsibility is his.

DEAR ABBY: I am a divorced, single woman in my 50s. I love my grandchildren dearly but am faced with a dilemma. I work full-time and

take my grandchildren some nights and on the one day I have off—usually on weekends.

I can’t plan things on a weekend without feeling I have made it difficult for my son and his wife to find someone to watch their children. Her mom, a stay-at-home wife, watches them several days a week.

I want to continue spending time with my grandkids, but I also want the freedom to be there when I choose to be. I realize finding a sitter you can afford and trust to watch your children is a challenge.

I have tried talking to my son, but it doesn’t seem to get through to him. I know I need to do something, but what? I’m afraid I won’t see the kids at all if I take a stand.— LADY ON THE LAKE IN MICHIGAN

DEAR LADY: Check your calendar and plan some time for yourself—one or two weekends a month. Then tell your son and his wife which ones you will be AVAILABLE. Free baby-sitting services are hard to come by, and you are not giving yourself enough credit.

If the unspoken threat is that it’s “all or nothing,” then, frankly, you should step back further and let your son and daughterin-law shoulder even more responsibility for the children they brought into this world.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
