Back in the Good Old Days EIGHTY YEARS AGO Sept. 13-19, 1935 • For the first time, apples are being brought into Monett and placed in storage. Several hundred bushels have been received by the Railways Ice Company. This marks the first step in making Monett a marketing place for apples. The place where apples are stored usually becomes a place of much trading.

• Those who are assisting the aged in making application for assistance under the old-age pension plan, part of the new Social Security Act, have all they can do to keep from breaking under the strain of emotion. Dealing with the aged is unlike dealing with younger people who have health. The aged somehow never before have been separated and dealt with as a group. Many aged persons‘ hearts break at the thought of taking what they look upon as charity. Many have suffered many years in their efforts to hide their condition of privation. It now appears that between 600 and 1,000 aged persons in Barry County will apply for old-age pensions.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO Sept. 13-19, 1945 • After about two years of dickering and jockeying followed by blow-ups and disappointments, Monett is going to have a modern frozen food locker plant.

C.E. Potter of Carthage has signed a 10-year lease on the building now occupied by the Etherington Motor Company. The dealership will move to 210 Broadway.

H.A. Gardner purchased the Odd Fellows Building from E.H. Worm and will make improvements preparatory to the 500-unit locker plant moving in.

• Barry County schools opened to a good start, except Brock, near Shell Knob, which has no teacher. A total of 21 schools are transporting pupils to other schools. Talbert and Lee schools are transporting to Monett schools.

Others transporting students are Roach, Hudson, Cedar Mound, Archibald, Walnut Grove, Rock Springs, Carney, Willow Branch, Star, Central, Lone, Walnut, Corsicana, Green Ridge, Harrell, Union Valley, Black, Rock Creek, Van Zandt and Swindle College.

SIXTY YEARS AGO Sept. 13-19, 1955 • The First Baptist Church’s new 54-room, three-story church educational building at Fourth and Dunn was dedicated on Sept. 18. Constructed to match the new auditorium to the south, the addition is one of the finest educational plants of its kind in southwest Missouri.

• A beautiful statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was erected on the grounds of St. Vincent’s Hospital in Monett on Sept. 16.

Located on the southeast corner of the grounds, the statue faces east with the inscription “Come to Me” on the base.

FIFTY YEARS AGO Sept. 13-19, 1965 • Nearly 250 members of 40 garden clubs attended the Southwest District Garden Club convention in Monett on Sept. 14, held at the First Baptist Church.

Mayor V.B. Hall gave the welcome address.

• Monett dentist Dr. O.J. Brandt has announced plans to close his practice on Oct. 15 and retire. A charter member of the Monett Kiwanis Club, Dr. Brandt moved

immediately to Monett after graduating from St. Louis University and has practiced his entire tenure at 400 1/2 E. Broadway.

FORTY YEARS AGO Sept. 13-19, 1975 • The Monett Metropolitan Ministerial Alliance elected Rev. Grady Cockerham, pastor of the First Baptist Church, as president, succeeding Rev. Anna Hall, pastor of Christ United Methodist Church.

Rev. Roger Aker, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, is vice president and Rev. Lyman Firestone, pastor of the First United Methodist Church, is the secretary-treasurer.

• The Monett Lions Club has been busy preparing a memorial foundation for the scoreboard at Burl Fowler Stadium, incorporating brick from the old Monett High School building, the cornerstone from the 1905 high school, the dedication plaque from the old press box, two bronze plaques from the old Jaycee stadium and a tribute to Burl Fowler.

THIRTY YEARS AGO Sept. 13-19, 1985 • Inside activities for a large part of Monett came to a virtual standstill on Sept. 16 when the Empire transformer at the city’s substation at Seventh and Broadway burned out.

Utilities Superintendent Harlan Barekman said an insulator on a 12,500 volt buss went bad around 4 p.m. and backed up the power into the transformer, causing an explosion which sent oil and fire shooting some 50 feet into the air. The north and south substations picked up the load.

• The Barry County Shrine Trikers won their seventh first or second

Harvesting the crop of sorghum at the John Childress farm, five miles southwest of Monett, in September 1955 provided 175 gallons of sorghum an acre. The prevailing price at the W. H. Ferguson sorghum mill at Butterfield was $3 a gallon, producing $525 acre for his 160 acres. Childress got to keep 60 percent of that. The stalks pictured grew 12 to 14 feet in height. Pictured from left are: Childress; his son, Earl; Paul Weinzirl, a 50-50 partner in the sorghum project; and John’s son, Ronald Childress. File

place trophy at the annual Central States Shrine Association Convention in St. Louis, placing second in the obstacle course competition for motor units. The popular group previously claimed trophies in Shrine events at Orlando, New Orleans, Denver, Oklahoma City, Des Moines and St. Louis.

TWENTY YEARS AGO Sept. 13-19, 1995 • The long-anticipated closing of the National Weather Service’s research station southeast of Monett became official, permanently closing on Sept. 14 as the WSR-88D Doppler Weather Radar in Springfield went online.

The Monett weather station, located south of Monett, began collecting data in 1970. Its radar

unit became the primary weather scanner for southwest Missouri in 1971, supporting nine jobs at its peak.

• Moves are underway to get the Monett Fire Department into its new station in the Industrial Park. With the concrete pad for the driveway laid, Fire Chief Ken Smalley hoped to make the move by the end of the month.

TEN YEARS AGO Sept. 13-19, 2005 • Lt. James Vaughn, with the 203rd Missouri National Guard engineers in the New Orleans area, reported the locals were

generally very receptive to the Guard unit coming to assist. Lake Ponchartrain is receding at about 100 yards a day, leaving stench.

People are trying to return to check on their property, he added.

• The Monett Building Board met for the first time in a year and sorted through particularly troublesome problems, including the bank at Fifth and Broadway. Building Inspector George Rausch introduced the Monett Building Board Property Inspection Checklist so citizens can help identify problems in town.

The annual event includes demonstrations on making food and supplies necessary to live in the pioneering days of the frontier.

Organizers of the event say the purpose of is to keep old traditions alive.

“A lot of the old fashioned stuff is dying off,” said Sandy Schreiner, one of the event organizers. “You don’t see it anymore and you don’t hear about it.”

“It takes you back in time to the olden days, to see what things actually happened back then and how they were done,” said Edgar Schreiner.

One of the featured demonstrations will be the old fashioned sorghum press, used to make molasses, a labor Continued on Page 7

Murray’s top picks for the week

1

Vernon Blvd. This fun, relaxed event offers an easy way to get acquired with regional artists of all kinds, from painters to fiber artists, with live entertainment and concessions available. An art show will be held in the MARC hallway.

This is a great chance to discover new and different creative people and their works in a comfortable indoor setting.

3

Peter Shaffer’s musical “Amadeus,” loosely based on the life of W.A. Mozart, has shows at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m.

Sunday, with more shows Sept.

16, 17 through next weekend in the Studio Theater, 505 W. Spring St. This is a terrific show, great acting, different from the film on stage and variants in the finale, but a gripping production in an intimate theater setting. Shows sell out so buy early.

Daughters unite in resisting mom’s domineering demands

D

EAR ABBY: At what point does a parent no longer have the right to know who their child’s friends are?

I have three grown daughters, all on their own, living on the other side of the country.

During a recent visit home for their grandmother’s birthday, I asked each of them to give me all of their friends’ phone numbers, in case I couldn’t reach them.

I also wanted to know who they were exactly, how well they knew them, etc. I was simply thinking of their safety.

If I can’t reach my girls, I want to know who might have seen them last and, if need be, give that information to the police.

Abby, all three of them told me NO! They said they are grown women and can take care of themselves, and besides, if, God forbid, they didn’t want to answer their phone when I called, I sure as h—- didn’t need to be pestering their friends.

They say they are adults, and that we (their dad and I) no longer have the right to “dictate” who they are friends with. I say I’m their mother and no matter how old they get, I will ALWAYS have the right to know who they are friends with. I would appreciate your thoughts. — RENEE IN OREGON

heads and pray privately, which seems more appropriate. Is there a rule of etiquette about praying in a restaurant? — SILENTLY PRAYING FOR ADVICE

Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby DEAR RENEE: I agree that you are their mother, but you are not your daughters’ parole officer. They are self-supporting, self-sufficient adults. Perhaps if you were less overbearing, your daughters would be living closer, would answer their phones more often when you call and would open up to you about their friendships. Frankly, I think you should apologize for giving them such a heavy-handed third degree.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I had dinner with some other couples at an elegant, white linen tablecloth restaurant.

After the meals were brought to the table, someone said, “We need to pray.” In this quiet, candlelit setting, a “Bless us, oh Lord ...” was spoken aloud by most of the people in our party, causing heads to turn at a number of nearby tables.

Undoubtedly, the din sounded like chanting. I was embarrassed.

Please understand, we are religious and we pray aloud in church, but not in restaurants. I have seen people bow their

DEAR SILENTLY PRAYING: Yes, there is. In restaurants, praying should be done quietly and inconspicuously to avoid distracting other diners.

DEAR ABBY: I love my friends and enjoy going out to dinner, and attending plays and movies with them. However, something really annoys me. My husband and I are usually early, and when we go to the movies, our friends ask us to pick up the tickets if we arrive first. After the movie we’ll grab a bite to eat and at the end of the evening say goodbye.

The question is, how

do we ask them for the money we laid out for the tickets if they forget to offer it? This has happened three times with different friends and we’re out the money. — ANNOYED IN TEANECK DEAR ANNOYED: There are a couple of ways to do it: As you hand the tickets over, you might say, “That’ll be $20, please.” But if that’s uncomfortable for you, the following day, you or your husband should call these “forgetful” friends and ask them to send you a check.

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

“Because the People Must Know.”

Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved.

Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices.

From that inauspicious beginning to the publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.

Men and women sacrifice in service to their country for many reasons.

Secrecy in government is not one of them.

State law requires government entities at all levels, from water districts to city councils and school boards, to place notices of many of their activities in a legal newspaper. This is a legal newspaper.

A printed notice in this newspaper can’t be hacked into like a website. It’s permanent. The date in the corner proves it was printed when required. It can be trusted without question in these times when trust in government is so low.

Would a similar notice posted somewhere on the internet provide the same measure of transparency?

The answer to that is obvious.

No, it would not.
