TIDBITS® IS READING A FEW

MAGAZINES

by Kathy Wolfe

319.389.1999 · Cell Phone

Did you know that about 7,500 magazines are published in America? Some are very familiar titles, others not so much! Tidbits takes some time to look at the history of one of our favorite sources of information and reading material.

•Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea of publishing America’s first magazine in 1741. He put his plans in place, but just three days before his American Magazine came out in print, Andrew Bradford beat him to the punch with General Magazine.

Perhaps the nation wasn’t ready for such publications, because Bradford’s magazine lasted just three issues, and Franklin ceased printing his after six issues. A few others, including Christian History in 1743, tried their hand at publishing, but it wasn’t until 1821 that the first truly successful U.S. magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, hit the stands.

•The Saturday Evening Post was a weekly publication that quickly grew to become the most widely circulated weekly magazine in America, and the first to reach the 1,000,000 copies sold mark. The Post featured articles, human interest stories, cartoons, poetry, and features by well-known authors. It may be best remembered for its covers that featured paintings by artist Norman Rockwell. Rockwell’s first cover was in May, 1916, and over the next 50 years, he provided more than 300 paintings for the magazine’s cover. (cont'd next page)

yellow border has been published continuously since the first issue in 1888. Its articles about geography, history, and world culture are read by 8.3 million people in 36 languages around the world every month. National Geographic published its first wildlife photographs in 1906, and its first color photo appeared in 1914.

• Recently graduated from Yale in 1923, Henry Luce borrowed $86,000 from relatives to start up TIME magazine. TIME was designed with news summaries that “busy men” could read weekly in under an hour. The first issue’s cover featured retired Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Joseph G. Cannon. In July of that year, a woman was on the cover for the first time, a popular actress of the day, Italian Eleanora Duse. Starting out with 12,000 subscribers, by 1963, after 40 years of publication, TIME had a circulation of 3,600,000 in 150 countries. Today it has the world’s largest circulation for a weekly news magazine with over 25 million readers.

• In 1928, TIME began its famous “Man of the Year” issue, with Charles Lindbergh as the first person of distinction. This individual is chosen as the person who “for good or ill” has most affected the course of the year, with “ill” choices including Adolf Hitler. In 1936, the title became “Person of the Year,” when American socialite Wallis Simpson, the woman for whom King Edward VIII of England abdicated his throne, was chosen.

TIME’s December 31, 1999 issued named Albert Einstein as the Person of the Century.

• LIFE magazine debuted in 1936 and is credited with establishing photojournalism.

Publisher Henry Luce had already achieved great success with TIME, and wanted a publication that told the story in pictures.

LIFE’s first cover featured a photo of Montana’s Fort Peck Dam, and the issue sold 380,000 copies. Just four months later, circulation was up over one million copies a week. LIFE was published weekly for 37 years.

• The Lady’s Magazine is considered the first significant women’s magazine. First published in London in 1770, it contained essays on female virtues, fashion advice, hints for wives and mothers, medicinal recipes, and embroidery patterns.

Upwards of 150,000 American women were reading Godey’s Lady’s Book when the Civil War broke out, making it the most widely circulated magazine in the country.

• McCall’s was initially established as a women’s magazine called The Queen in 1873. It was renamed in 1897 and remained such until 2001 when Rosie O’Donnell became editorial director and changed the title to Rosie. Rosie lasted a little over a year. Female baby boomers may remember Betsy McCall paper dolls printed in McCall’s beginning in May, 1951.

Don’t be a Rocking Horse

WEDNESDAY NIGHT RAFFLE

Change Your Habits (Part 1)

Life is racing by and we are an extremely busy society.

We are burning up hours, days, months, and years without purpose while the cemeteries are being filled with unused potential. A rocking horse keeps moving, but doesn’t go anywhere while carving a rut. This week we focus on changing the habits in our lives that have carved ruts, and next week we will focus on letting go of the old habits and catapulting into God’s purpose and plan for your life. Paul sums up the struggle we all face in life’s bad habits that trip us: “I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong.”Romans 7:21 The Bible gives us “Rut Buster Habits.”

If we can change our old habits and apply these new ones we will find purpose and direction for our lives.

Get off your rocking horse by making a…

MAGAZINES (continued):

• Adolescent girls got their very own magazine in 1944, when Seventeen hit the stands, bringing fashion, beauty, and dating tips. Early cover girls included Carol Lynley, Twiggy, Cybil Shepherd, Olga Korbut, and a 13-year-old Brooke Shields.

• The first issue of TV Guide was released in April of 1953, a comprehensive listing of the week’s television programs, TVrelated news, celebrity interviews, program reviews, and crossword puzzles.

Actress Lucille Ball was on the cover holding her newborn son, Desi Arnaz, Jr., whose birth had been written into the storyline of the popular sitcom I Love Lucy.

• In March of 1974, you could have purchased the inaugural issue of People magazine for 35 cents. The beautiful 29-year-old Mia Farrow was on the cover, the star of the upcoming movie The Great Gatsby. In 1985, the magazine introduced their new feature “Sexiest Man Alive,” with 29-year-old Mel Gibson capturing the first title. Since then, People has created their “World’s Most Beautiful People” and “Best & Worst Dressed” special issues. About 47 million people read People every week.

• Although magazines derive about half of their income from advertising (the other half from subscriptions and single copy sales), a few magazines do not accept advertising. Consumer Reports does not want to give the impression that their product evaluations are influenced in any way by an advertiser, and have no paid advertising.

Know how you’re getting home.

If you’re going out with friends, you should know exactly how you’re getting home the night before. There are a few options: the easiest is to have a designated driver before you go out, so you have a person who will forgo alcohol that night and get you home safely. You can also get home by taking a bus or other forms of public transportation or just call a cab or walk if you’re close enough to the bar.

Any of these plans are fine.

ALEX TREBEK

January 7th 2014

December 22– January 19

Dreams do come true, Capricorn. Reach for the stars, and all that you hope for will be yours. An old friend drops by with an intriguing offer. Consider it.

January 20– February 18

Use it or lose it, Aquarius.

You’ve kept a talent hidden for far too long.

It is your turn to shine. A memo at work sets forth a long list of challenges.

February 19– March 20

Poor Pisces. You’ve been chomping at the bit to get started on a project, and there is yet another delay.

Be patient. Your time will come.

March 21– April 19

Awesome, Aries. The budget crunching pays off, and you begin to show a surplus. Stash a bit and spend the rest on whatever your heart desires.

April 20– May 20

Save it, Taurus. Nothing you say or do matters.

Your loved one has their mind made up. Turn your attention to an issue you can tackle.

May 21– June 21 Wealth and fame are not all that they are cracked up to be. Know the pitfalls before you sign on the dotted line, Gemini. A youngster makes a plea.

Be kind.

June 22– July 22

Ahoy, Cancer. Many challenges lie ahead, but as usual, you will be up to the task. A loved one could use some time away.

Arrange it for them.

July 23– August 22 Tsk-tsk, Leo. You suspect it won’t work, and you’re right.

A cause is worthy.

The answer is: “He has been the host of the game show Jeopardy! since 1984.” Who is Alex Trebek? Let’s take a closer look at this interesting “category”!

• Alex Trebek’s father immigrated from Ukraine as a young child, settling in Ontario with his family. His marriage to a FrenchCanadian woman produced Alex in 1940.

When Alex graduated from the University of Ottawa with a degree in philosophy in 1961, he used his experience from the college’s English Debating Society to land a job in broadcasting. The first step in his famous career was as a newscaster and sportscaster with the Canadian Broadcasting Company, Canada’s premier network at that time.

• In 1966, Trebek made a dramatic change from the journalism realm to hosting game shows. His first gig was the Canadian game show Reach for the Top, a position he held for seven years. In 1973, Trebek crossed the border to host his first U.S. game show, NBC’s The Wizard of Odds. The Wizard was short-lived, however, and the following year, Trebek became host of High Rollers. Between High Rollers and his selection as the new host of Jeopardy! in 1984, he had added Double Dare, The $128,000 Question, and Pitfall to his resume.

• After three years of hosting Jeopardy!, in 1987, Trebek added another game show to his schedule, Classic Concentration, hosting both shows simultaneously. In 1991, he made history by serving as the host to three game shows at once, when he took over as the host of To Tell the Truth. By the end of that year, Concentration and Truth had ended their series, and Trebek was back to one program.

• Jeopardy! has won 30 Emmy Awards, and Alex Trebek has been awarded five Emmys for Outstanding Game Show Host. During the 2004-2005 season, contestant Ken Jennings set the record for the most consecutive games, winning 74 games in a row, with earnings of more than $2.5 million. Speaking about Jennings’ streak, Alex said, “I spent more time with him than I did with my wife during that period.”

• Trebek films Jeopardy! two days a week, arriving at the studio around 6:30 AM. Five shows are taped each day, ending about 4:30 PM. About 25 million viewers tune into the program each week.

• This famous host’s life isn’t all about games!

Trebek also hosts the National Geographic Bee and the Great Canadian Geography Challenge. In 1996, he was an Olympic torchbearer in Jacksonville, Florida, along the journey to Atlanta, Georgia. Trebek became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1998.

You can find his star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame near that of Ann-Margret and Vincent Price. Canada’s Walk of Fame in Toronto features Trebek’s maple leaf.

• Trebek says he does a crossword puzzle every day in an attempt to stave off the dangers of Alzheimer’s Disease. Not surprisingly, he’s fluent in French, but he also speaks some German, Italian, Spanish, and Russian. He and his wife own a 700-acre thoroughbred horse farm, Creston Farms, near Templeton, California. It’s rumored that he will retire from Jeopardy! at the end of his 32nd season in 2016. Trebek offers this advice to others, “Take your job seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously.”

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel ● On Jan. 9, 1776, writer Thomas Paine publishes his pamphlet “Common Sense,” setting forth his arguments in favor of American independence.

Originally published anonymously, “Common Sense” is considered one of the most influential pamphlets in American history. ● On Jan. 12, 1926, the two-man radio comedy series “Sam ‘n’ Henry” (later named “Amos ‘n’ Andy”) debuts in Chicago.

Freeman Gosden and Charles Carrell, both white, played characters who were two black men from the Deep South. Over the next 22 years, the show would become the highest-rated comedy in radio history.

Senior News Line

by Matilda Charles

Scammers Never Stop It’s one thing to read about the scams that are aimed at seniors -- and quite another to know someone who has been a victim.

A good friend of mine recently learned that his very elderly mother had been giving money to scammers for a period of time. Needless to say, the whole family is in shock.

How it began, no one is certain, but somehow scammers contacted his mother with enough of a sob story that she gave them money. Soon they called back, and yes, she gave them more. Then the scammers apparently gave out her name and phone number, and very soon this elderly woman was being called day and night -- and giving money to multiple scammers.

I imagine that she became fearful because of all the constant phone calls, and at some point she stopped answering the phone. Unable to reach her, one of her children called the police who went by on a welfare check.

While the police were there, some of the scammers called. That’s when the whole story came out.

By the time they were cut off, scammers had taken nearly $200,000 from this senior. The family will never get the money back and the scammers likely will never be found.

It’s far too easy to become a victim of scammers who want your money. All you have to do is say “yes” one time.

If you give them money just once, hoping they’ll go away, the opposite will happen, and you’ll be called more frequently and the pressure to give more will increase. Your name will be given to others who will do the same.

If you’ve been pulled in by scammers, call the police now. Don’t wait.

Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Send email to columnreply2@gmail.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine.

Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

Q: My brother purchased new outdoor furniture for his deck this summer, some nice cedar chairs and end tables. But I’m astounded that he hasn’t yet taken in or covered his new furniture yet. Even though we haven’t had snow yet, the temperature change alone must be taking its toll.

Should I warn him about leaving his expensive furniture outside in winter?

-- Carey in Chicopee, Mass.

A: I think warning him is a bit strong, particularly in this case. Cedar furniture designed for outdoor use can be very resilient in most weather, something the dealer may have told your brother when he purchased the set.

You can bring it up as part of a conversation about the furniture by asking if it’s all-weather, and letting your brother tell you all about it.

Considering how much quality cedar furniture costs, he’s likely pretty proud of his purchase.

Cedar outdoor furniture is desirable to many people. It’s a durable wood, doesn’t easily warp or rot, and resists insects. Unfinished cedar furniture starts out as a natural reddish color, which over time fades to gray as wind and weather season the wood. Owners who prefer the warmer reddish color can apply a wood sealer, or enhance the color using a wood stain. Paint or finishing oils aren’t typically used with cedar furniture, since they can trap moisture, encouraging rot.

Your brother can clean his furniture a few times a year with soap and water, and should avoid using a pressure washer or harsh solvents.

If he’s concerned about temperature extremes or ice and snow building up on the furniture, he can cover it or store it during the winter.

Otherwise, don’t worry about warning him about his outdoor furniture care choices. It’s his property, after all, and he can leave the cedar furniture out if he wishes.

HOME TIP: Clean mildew from unfinished wood furniture using a very mild bleach and water solution; rinse well, and make sure the wood dries completely.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

● It might be hard to get motivated to exercise with winter’s shorter days and lower temperatures. Exercise is important to your health, so get it any way you can.

Did you know that a half-hour snowball fight can burn 100 calories? Get out there and enjoy the winter weather! -- JoAnn ● If you face frequent snow in your area, invest in a pair of running shoes that are designed for trail running. They have deeper cleats for better traction. Some are even waterproof. This will encourage you to run when it’s been snowing! ● “To help your sneakers dry faster, remove the laces and sock liner and hang separately. Stuff them with newspaper to draw out moisture. Hang them to dry on a sturdy hook or line, but not too close to a heater, as it’s possible to break down the support materials that way.” -- E.D. in Minnesota ● “If you are outdoors on freezing days, you know to dress in layers. When you exercise outside, you do that too, but be prepared to strip off a layer if you get overheated. I have a carabiner clip on my waistband, and I can clip my outer light jacket to it, or even my fleece through a buttonhole.” -- P.S. in Virginia ●“Here’s a tip about sledding in a pinch: A laundry basket can make a fine sled for a small, sturdy kid -- especially if you are blessed with surprise snow! If you attach a rope or belt to one side of the basket, it’s easy to pull the kids along.” -- M.B. in Missouri Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Its literal meaning is “peeled garlic,” but colloquially it was once used to describe a bald-headed person.
