Shirley Temple’s smile and spirit will be long remembered

BY PHILIP POTEMPA TIMES OF NORTHWEST INDIANA

S

hirley Temple’s smile and spirit will be long remembered In the 1955 TV episode of “I Love Lucy” titled “The Tour,” Lucy and Ethel are visiting Hollywood and eager to see “where the stars live.”

They take a bus tour of movie star homes, and the guide points out the home of Shirley Temple Black, mentioning a guesthouse, behind the main house, designed as a replica of the dollhouse she had a child.

Lucy quickly says to Ethel: “Shirley Temple is married to Mr. Black now.”

At the time this television episode was filmed, Temple had

already retired from acting at age 21 five years earlier, but her superstar name remained Hollywood royalty, as it does today.

Temple, whose trademarks were her dimples, curly hair and always sunny outlook, died Feb. 10. She was 85.

Born in Santa Monica, Calif., to an accountant and his wife, Temple was 3 when she made

her film debut in 1932 in the film short “Baby Burlesks.”

With her devoted mother Gertrude at her side on the movie set, her films “Bright Eyes” (1934) (when she sang the song “On the Good Ship Lollipop”), “Curly Top” (1935) (when she sang “Animal Crackers”), “Dimples” (1936) and “Heidi” (1937) were hailed as a tribute to the economic and inspirational power of movies, credited with helping to save 20th Century Fox from bankruptcy.

She also was praised by President Franklin Roosevelt as a bright spirit during a gloomy time. Everything from dolls and toys to clothes and dishes were marketed using her likeness.

Her fans came from demographics around the world, including notable names throughout the decades, from FBI head J. Edgar Hoover to pop star Michael Jackson.

“With Shirley, you’d just tell her once and she’d remember the rest of her life,” said director Allan Dwan, who died in 1981 at age 96 and directed her in “Heidi” and “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.” ‘’Whatever it was she was supposed to do — she’d do it. ... And if one of the actors got stuck, she’d tell him what his line was — she knew it better than he did.”

After trying a couple teenage roles, including opposite future President Ronald Reagan in “That Hagen Girl” (1947), she retired from the screen in 1949. At age 17 in 1945, she married for the first time to Army Air Corps Pvt.-turnedactor John Agar, who would appear with her in two movies just before she retired. Their five-year marriage produced daughter Susan in 1948. The actress filed for divorce the following year. She married Charles Black in 1950, and they had two more children, Lori and Charles. He died in 2005 at age 86.

In later years, she held diplomatic posts in Republican administrations, including ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the sudden collapse of communism in 1989 during the administration of President George H.W. Bush. And before that,

President Richard Nixon appointed her as a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations General Assembly. In the 1970s, she was U.S. ambassador to Ghana and later U.S. chief of protocol.

In her 1988 autobiography “Child Star,” she was candid about her early career and “the Hollywood machine,” which her parents worked to protect her from. She suggested that in some ways, she grew up too soon. For example, she said she stopped believing in Santa Claus at age 6, when “Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.”

“I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award: Start early,” she quipped in 2006 as she was honored by the Screen Actors Guild at one of her last public appearances. At age 6, she won a special Academy Award in 1935 and was presented with a miniature Oscar statuette for her “outstanding contribution to screen entertainment” in the previous year.

day, which at the time was as much as many men earned. It was while working for the railroad that Edison suffered permanent hearing loss.

In 1869, he was awarded his first patent for a legislative vote recorder. It was then he decided to be a full-time inventor.

Several inventions and patents later, Edison built a laboratory in Menlo Park, N.J. Probably Edison’s best known invention was the incandescent light bulb, developed in 1879.

In 1886, 39-year-old Edison married Mina Miller, a 20-year-old daughter of a wealthy Midwestern manufacturer. The couple settled into a lavish country estate in Llewellyn Park, a fashionable neighborhood in West Orange. In 1887 and 1888, Edison built his new lab complex not far from his home.

It became known as his “Invention Factory.” It was here that Edison improved his invention of the phonograph and the storage battery and did all his work on motion pictures.

Today, his lab and home are owned and operated by the National Park Service and are open to the public.

The first stop at the complex is the visitor’s center, where tour tickets are purchased. While in the center, visitors are encouraged to watch a short film about Edison’s life and his lab.

Park rangers take visitors on tours of several of the buildings, including the main laboratory which is the largest building in the complex and contains such things as a complete machine shop, drafting shop, photo studio and Edison’s personal lab. Also on the tour is the physics laboratory and the underground site of a climate controlled vault containing approximately 5 million pages of documents detailing Edison’s 60-year career as an inventor, manufacturer and businessman.

Visitors can also see the Black Maria, where Edison filmed many of his motion pictures. It was the first motion picture studio and was

a tar paper-covered building with a retractable roof to allow sunlight to illuminate the studio. The building could also be rotated to follow the sun.

Those first films were short segments of vaudeville performances featuring dancers and strongmen.

Later films were shot outside and included street scenes, police and firemen performing duties and such action shots as a speeding train.

When Edison built a new studio in New York City in 1901, the Black Maria was closed. The building was demolished two years later, but in 1954 the National Park Service constructed a reproduction of that first studio that remains at the park in West Orange.

Not far from the lab is Glenmont, Edison’s 29-room red brick and wood mansion. Tickets for the guided tour of the home are available at the visitors center. The mansion was built in 1880 by an office clerk who spared no expense in building the home with funds he embezzled from his employer. Once the crime was discovered, the house went up for sale and Edison purchased the estate that included spacious grounds with a greenhouse, barn and stables.

Thomas Edison died in 1931 and Mina died in 1947. They are buried side by side in a simple plot behind their beloved home.

The drafting room at the Thomas Edison National Historic Park contains the actual drafting tables where drawings of many of Edison’s most famous designs were made.

In 1890, Thomas Edison developed a talking doll 18 inches tall that had a very small phonograph in its body. The dolls said nursery rhymes and spoke in different languages.

The entrance to the Thomas Edison National Historic Park once welcomed workers to the Edison “Invention Factory.” The site is in New Jersey.

Terry’s Turn

Fond memories of a final scout trip

I saw a weather report the other day that showed scenes from Valley Forge, Pa. The snow and cold was reminiscent of the terrible winter of 1777-78, when George Washington and his gallant men came close to freezing to death. It reminded me of my own experience at that historic and beautiful site.

It was way back in 1957, when I had the Terry Turner opportunity tturner174@longlines.com to attend the National Boy Scout Jamboree.

And that year it was held at Valley Forge. By that time I had progressed through Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and into Explorer Scouts. I was a sophomore in high school and it was basically my last hurrah in the scouting program.

The Jamboree was in July and when I went back to school in September, I discovered something I’d been overlooking all those years: girls. And so ended my long association with the Boy Scouts, but during that July in Valley Forge, I had a great time, experienced one very embarrassing moment, made new friends and one enemy.

We left by train from the Union Station in Omaha and on our way to Valley Forge made stops at such places as New York City, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.

We saw the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall in Philadelphia, rode the subway to Coney Island and went to the Statue of Liberty in New York, then toured the sights in Washington, D. C., including the White House.

This was back before all the security measures that are now in place and as I recall we just got in line and walked right into the White House along with hundreds of other tourists. You sure can’t do that today.

When we finally arrived at Valley Forge, it was amazing. There were more than 52,000 Scouts camped there and pup tents as far as the eye could see.

Associated Press

This painting depicts Gen. George Washington and his troops on the march to Valley Forge during the American Revolutionary War. Our recent cold snap rekindled Terry Turner’s memories of a trip to the historic site.

Before getting to the East Coast, we stopped in Chicago to pick up Scouts from other troops. All were friendly and nice guys – with one glaring exception. And that exception had to sit next to me.

I believe it was my first real experience with a bully. For some reason he took great delight in picking on me. I let it go for as long as I could. Then at some point in the train trip he finally pushed me too far. I don’t recall what he did, but I remember after tormenting me for what seemed like hours, he got out of the seat he was sharing with me. When he came back, I had decided enough was enough.

I was in the aisle seat, so he had to cross in front of me to get to his window spot. He made some kind of derogatory remark as he slid past and hit me on the head. That was it. He had his legs spread apart in front of me, and I acted on instinct as I clenched my fists together and slammed them up as hard as I could and hit him right where no man or Boy Scout should ever be hit.

He doubled over in pain and fell in the aisle yelling at the top of his now squeaky voice. Because of my well-placed hit, he was now able to sing soprano in the choir. The two scoutmasters who were on the trip ran over to find out what was wrong. He told his side of the story and I told mine. My scoutmaster knew I wasn’t the type to start a fight and apparently the other scoutmaster knew all about the bully. The result was we were separated for the rest of the trip. The good news is he never bothered me again. As a matter of fact, I don’t remember even seeing him from that point on. I don’t recommend violence to solve problems, but it sure seemed to work in that case.

When we finally arrived at Valley Forge, it was amazing. There were more than 52,000 Scouts camped there and pup tents as far as the eye could see. And those tents all looked pretty much the same, which would prove to be a problem for me later on. During that week camping on the historic fields of

Valley Forge, we had lots of activities during the day and into the night to keep us busy and entertained. By the time we crawled into our sleeping bags at night we were exhausted, but apparently I wasn’t too tired to take a little nocturnal walk.

You see at that time in my life, I was a sleepwalker. Episodes of my nighttime wanderings were few and far between, but one happened while camping at Valley Forge. I woke up one night trying to crawl into an occupied sleeping bag. It took a couple of minutes for me to realize I was in the wrong tent. I quickly crawled out of the tent and tried to get my bearings. I could tell right away I wasn’t even in our campsite but had no idea where the right campsite was. I wandered around the maze of tents looking for something familiar when suddenly I saw my scoutmaster having a late night cup of coffee by the campfire.

I casually walked into camp, nodded at my scoutmaster and said, “Goodnight.” He didn’t seem to notice or care that I was in my underwear. I found my tent, crawled back into my sleeping bag and hoped I’d stay put. Fortunately that proved to be the last of my night time ramblings anywhere.

That trip to Valley Forge had its troubles and trials, but it became one of my favorite childhood memories, even though it signaled the end of my time with the Boy Scouts. I’ll never forget those great memories and I’m sure the guy from Chicago will never forget me either.

Maine program targets financial abuse of elders AUGUSTA, Maine | Maine officials rolled out a new program on Monday designed to bolster protections against the financial exploitation of the elderly by training staff at banks and credit unions to be aware of red flags and to properly report them.

The Senior$afe program, which will also make educational materials available at banks, aims to put more resources at the “frontline” to prevent financial abuse of seniors, which is often carried out by family members and caregivers or strangers through email and phone scams — a problem that officials said will only grow as Maine’s population continues to age.

“We want to make sure that we do everything possible to make sure that (the elderly) are not exploited and that their retirement funds are used specifically for that purpose and not for any other purpose,” said Anne Head, commissioner of the Maine Department of Professional and Financial Regulation.

Banks and Credit union staff will be trained on possible scenarios of financial exploitation, like irregularities in banking activity, and on ways they can help customers that are potentially being exploited, said Lynn Caswell, co-chair of the Maine Council for Elder Abuse Prevention.

Training sessions are scheduled to begin this month. – Associated Press
