BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO JUNE 22-28, 1934 • Girls in sunback dresses slapping flies off their shoulder blades furnished most of the excitement on the streets of Monett on June 27 unless it was the thought that if it should rain we certainly have a fine location for a creek. Formerly girls developed arm action by spanking their wrists to make their watches run, but now they make speedy around-the-neck thrusts with their hands to shoo flies off their backs.

• The discovery of a car with a 1926 Oklahoma tag in the Sunshine mine east of Aurora appears connected to the murder of the car’s owner, J.O. LeGrande, whose body was thrown into the car after the murder. Attempts to remove the car from the mine have failed though the water level in the mine is falling, but in the attempt, a 1924 Chrysler touring car with a 1926 tag and a third as yet unidentified car have also been found, along with other stolen items.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO JUNE 22-28, 1944 • Shells from machine gun size up and varying from cutaway views to the finished product will be on display in Monett on June 23 and 24 in a combined ordnance show and war bond rally, set up in a roped off area east of the Gillioz Theatre.

• A plan is afoot to reopen the Barry County Hospital in Cassville under the auspices of a community group. Founded by Dr. George Newman in 1934, the hospital has been closed for the last two months.

SIXTY YEARS AGO JUNE 22-28, 1954 • The Temple Baptist

Church in Monett has closed a deal for the purchase of the lot and church building at 1200 E. Sycamore from Henry Olson. The church was established this spring and has been meeting at Tenth and Broadway.

• Anna Ruth Stewart, a 15-year-old twirler from Anderson who has been cartwheeling a baton since she was 7, on June 23 laid permanent claim to the Homer Lee Trophy by winning it for the second year in a row for her top showing in the fifth annual Missouri Baton Twirling contest in Monett.

FIFTY YEARS AGO JUNE 22-29, 1964 • More than 350 baton twirlers from 15 states and Canada competed in the 15th annual Missouri State and National Open Baton Twirling Contests held in the Monett High School gymnasium, sponsored by the Hobbs-Anderson American Legion Post.

• Monett’s new swimming pool is slated to open for the first time on July 15.

The new bathhouse, which is not slated for completion before the pool opens, is approximately 30 percent done. Voters approved a $125,000 bond issues for the project on Nov. 22, 1963.

FORTY YEARS AGO JUNE 22-29, 1974 • New metal signs, designating Monett as a Five Star City in the Missouri Community Betterment Program, have arrived and are ready to be installed at four locations leading to the city to replace signs, which have become outdated.

• Gayle Bruner has resigned as president of the Monett R-1 Board of Education. H.C. Beckwith

Four of the younger contestants in the fifth annual Missouri State Baton Twirling Contest, sponsored by the Monett American Legion, posed on June 23, 1954 while waiting to show their stuff before the judges who will decide whether they will go on to the finals competition. Pictured, from left, are: Joan Welhoelter, St. Louis; Donna Eden, Carthage; Billy Jean Shideler, Monett; and Linda Sheet, Carthage. File Photo/The Monett Times was elected to serve as president for the remainder of the 1974-75 year. The board appointed Rex Kay to fill the vacancy created by Bruner’s resignation.

THIRTY YEARS AGO JUNE 22-29, 1984 • H.C. Beckwith, executive vice president and general manager of Wells Aluminum Inc., has been elected to the board of directors of Wells Aluminum Corporation of South Bend, Ind. Beckwith has served Wells Aluminum for 31 years and came to Monett in 1964 to manage the startup of the local plant.

• Discharge from Monett’s wastewater treat-

ment plant into Clear Creek is improving daily.

Mayor Floyd Stewart feels confident the Missouri Department of Natural Resources will recognize the efforts. Mid-America Dairymen plans to return its trickling filter back into operation within 30 days to further help the situation.

TWENTY YEARS AGO JUNE 22-29, 1994 • Street and Sanitation Commissioner Kenneth “Red” Sharver resigned from the Monett City Council due to health reasons. Sharver served for 40 years as manager of the Monett terminal of Jones Truck Line and was elected

to the city council in 1988.

• Marking the event’s centennial, The Times published a full account from all extant records of the lynching in Monett on June 28, 1894, after which the African American population of the town departed.

TEN YEARS AGO JUNE 22-29, 2004 • Monett area National Guardsmen from the 203rd

Engineering Battalion moved out of Iraq at the end of June to a local in Kuwait before returning home, possibly by August. Local Guardsmen were called to active duty in March 2003.

• The Monett/Purdy affiliate of Habitat for Humanity has broken ground for its first home on the northwest corner of Sixth and Bond streets.

ON THE COVER: David Bass of D.B. Graphics moves a recent mock up of a political advertising sign in his workroom. Bass has designed a variety of political advertising items for local candidates in recent weeks.

“You can put your name on anything, from Band-Aid packets to yo-yos, to get your message out,” Bass said.

The business of politics: Getting the word out Candidates try to get the most bang for their buck in advertising

BY MELONIE ROBERTS reporter@monett-times.com

The business of advertising has changed over the decades, with fewer street-corner soapbox speeches and more hightech low-cost materials to spark name recognition at the ballot box.

David Bass, owner of D.B. Graphics, has seen his share of local election cycles.

“In politics, coverage is the name of the game,” he said. “Candidates are looking for the best way to optimize their campaign funds, which means getting as much name recognition as possible.”

Today, that task is easier than ever with the advancements in materials used in pre-election advertisements.

“In the past, we did all of the layout and painted all of these signs by hand,” Bass said. “Now, everything is digital. There’s very little painting. Most items these days are cut vinyl and screen printed.”

The most popular item used by candidates, by about 85 percent, is the yard sign, followed closely by the larger fence signs that line the highways within the candidate’s territory.

“With yard signs, you get a lot of coverage for a minimal amount,” Bass said. “With the poly bag signs, which are two sided and can be read by

motorists coming from either direction, you get 1,000 for about $270. The corrugated plastic, for one side, is 500 for about the same price. The corrugated signs are about 4-to-1 over anything else we do.”

And, according to Bass, appearance matters.

“A lot of people’s decisions are based on that first three-second impression,” he said. “With signs posted along the highway, you have to keep the information minimal, about seven words, just enough to get the message across.

Remember, people are driving by these signs at about 6 miles per hour and have anywhere from 3-5 seconds to absorb the message. I caution people they want the name, the office and the party. You want a clean, uncluttered CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

The first step for any project is the design element. Many political candidates prefer to use the colors red, white and blue, or any combination of those, to instill a sense of patriotic zeal to constituents. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

sign. Image is everything.

People form opinions very quickly, whether they realize it or not.”

Bass said advertisements can be put on everything from BandAid packets to yo-yos.

“People are finding out they can put their name on anything — from Frisbees to coffee mugs, stadium cups and banners,” he said.

For those who want name recognition, whether for a political office of a business office, Bass has one piece of advice: Think big.

“In sign placement, location and size are everything,” he said.

“Most fence signs along the highway are 4 by 8 feet. People don’t believe it, but you have to consider the 40-foot easement, placement over a fence and sometimes 10 feet up in the air. Even big signs get small pretty quickly.”

Most politicians prefer red, white or blue, or combinations of all three.

“It instills the sense of patriotism in their voters,” Bass said. “Other popular choices are red and white and dark blue and white.”

For businesses, logos are an important element of identification design.

“The same goes for

political advertising,” Bass said. “People identify with the elephant or the donkey on the signs.

We recommend the logo be used everywhere that is associated with their name.”

While Bass outsources some of his bigger jobs, he enjoys the creative process involved in making new designs and combining colors to make a stand-out sign, whether it is a magnetic sign adhered to a vehicle, or a towering industrial logo that is recognized worldwide.

“In that case, color-matching is the most important part of the process,” he said. “We used colors that have been set to industry standards to keep logos consistent from one item to the next.”

Bass is glad that he and his wife have been such an integral part of the Monett community over the years.

“Overall, our decision to do this has been wonderful,” he said. “It’s a good feeling to be able to drive down many streets in the city and see our work, whether it is the car wash sign or the directional signs for downtown Monett. We are proud of the confidence the community has instilled in us.”

Bass advises his customers to avoid laminated poster board for advertisement signs that are going to be placed for more than a few days, recommending corrugated plastic, pictured above. “Corrugated plastic is weather resistant and holds up better to the elements,” he said. “Most political clients prefer the corrugated plastic signs because of that, and their easy placement.” Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

Early cancer detection could have saved childhood friend

DEAR ABBY: A childhood friend of mine died from cervical cancer.

“Katy” died because she didn’t go to her OB/GYN for annual Pap smears.

She was a beautiful, intelligent, talented wife and mother who was responsible in every other way. Katy simply couldn’t face a pelvic exam because throughout her childhood she had been molested by her father. I know it’s true, because her father molested me, too.

Katy’s doctor told her that had it been caught in the early stages, her cancer would have been curable. She hadn’t been to see her OB/GYN since her last child was born nine years before.

Because of what her father did to her, she was unable to allow anyone other than her husband to touch her.

Abby, my friend suffered during the time between her diagnosis and her death. She fought to stay alive for her husband and children, whom she loved with all her heart. But in the end, cancer took her, and her family will suffer for years to come.

PLEASE remind every woman and sexually active teenage girl about the importance of a yearly exam. Those who feel they can’t deal with the exams should force themselves to talk to their OB/ GYN and explain their fear. Otherwise, the sexual predators win again.

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY I think they should be held accountable for the deaths for which they are ultimately responsible.— SICK OF MOLESTERS DEAR SICK OF MOLESTERS: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your friend. She won’t have died in vain if women of every age heed your message about the importance of regular pelvic examinations, which should start as soon as a girl becomes sexually active.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband, “Henry,” for 25 years, and he refuses to call me by name. He doesn’t call me anything— certainly no terms of endearment. He just calls out or starts talking. He addresses our daughter’s relatives, our neighbors and even our dog by name—but refuses to say mine.

I have mentioned to Henry many times how deeply hurt and resentful it makes me feel. He admits it’s a problem, but refuses to get help because “he doesn’t believe in counseling.”

I know things could be worse. I’m not abused physically, but I feel mentally abused. I find it hard living as a nobody. Can you give me an insight on how to cope with this?—NAMELESS IN SOUTH NEW JERSEY DEAR NAMELESS: What Henry has been doing is called “passive aggression.” It’s a pattern of behavior that can occur in a variety of contexts. In your case, it’s consistently failing to do something he knows would please you, the absence of which he is fully aware is hurtful.

He refuses counseling because he knows a counselor will call him on it.

This does not, however, mean that YOU shouldn’t have some counseling. Once you have recognized Henry’s behavior for exactly what it is, you must then ask yourself why you have tol-

erated it for a quarter of a century, whether there are other things wrong in your marriage and if this is the way you want to live the next 25 years of your life.

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