ICE CREAM
by Janet Spencer In 1846, Nancy Johnson invented the first hand-cranked ice cream freezer. On May 30, 1848, William Young of Baltimore registered her invention with the Patent Office, naming it the Johnson Patent IceCream Freezer. Come along with Tidbits as we enjoy a few scoops!

• In 1851, Baltimore milk dealer Jacob Fussell sat down to figure out what he could do with all his surplus cream. Ice cream was his solution, and soon he was making more money dealing in ice cream than in milk. By 1856 he had become the nation’s first ice cream wholesaler. • Because he owned dairy herds, whereas other ice cream manufacturers had to buy their supply of cream, Fussell was able to undercut their prices, selling it for 25 cents a quart while competitors were selling it for 60 cents a quart. Even poor people could afford Fussell’s ice cream. When the local confectioner’s association insisted that he raise his price to an outrageous $1.25 per quart, he refused – and was nearly lynched by rival ice cream makers as a result. • He moved his factory to Boston. Soon his factories were popping up across the country, and he was later bought out by Borden. More than anyone else, Fussell brought ice cream to the masses. (Cont’d next page)

ICE CREAM INVENTIONS
• Robert Green was selling soda drinks made of cream, syrup, and carbonated water at a festival in 1874 in Philadelphia. When he ran out of cream, he substituted ice cream instead. Green averaged $6 a day with his original drink, but brought in $600 a day selling the world’s first ice cream sodas. • In 1890 many preachers considered drinking soda pop on Sundays to be sinful. Evanston, Illinois has the distinction of being the first town to pass a law against the “Sunday Soda Menace” which outlawed drinking soda on Sundays. According to the story, the local drug store, now unable to sell any of their popular ice cream sodas on Sunday, invented a new soda-free dish: ice cream, covered in syrup, and topped with a cherry. Because this new dish was available only on sodaless Sundays, they called it the ice cream sundae. • The ice cream cone is thought to have originated at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. Ernest Hamwi was a concessionaire selling a wafer-like pastry baked on a waffle iron, which sold poorly because of the heat. Next to his stand was an ice cream vendor selling scoops in small cardboard cups. When he ran out of containers, Hamwi came to the rescue by rolling his wafers into a cornucopia and putting a scoop of ice cream in its mouth. • Some ice cream novelties that never made it were ice cream in an aerosol can and the cone with a side-pocket for an extra scoop built in. The ice cream telegram flopped. It was a replica of a Western Union telegram, delivered to the home.
IT’S A FACT
It was over ice cream in Robinson’s Drugstore in Dayton, Tennessee on May 5, 1923, that a young teacher named John Scopes was persuaded to test the state’s ban on teaching ‘theories that deny the divine creation of man,’ the famed Scopes Monkey Trial.

COLD WAR
• During the Korean War, General Lewis Puller announced that it was ridiculous to pamper marines with ice cream and demanded that the Armed Forces serve troops beer and whiskey instead. The Women’s Christian Temperance Union howled, enlisted men howled, and the Pentagon announced that ice cream would be served in mess lines three times a week. • During World War II, escort destroyers were rewarded with 20 gallons of ice cream for every pilot they pulled out of the water. • When the aircraft carrier Lexington was damaged and the order was given to abandon ship, someone mentioned that the ship was carrying a lot of ice cream. Sailors ate their fill before leaping into the sea. • British airmen would put ice cream mixtures in cans in the rear compartments, where the plane’s vibration combined with the freezing temperatures at high altitudes would yield especially delicious ice cream.
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
In 1934 the movie Kid Millions starring Eddie Cantor was released. Moviegoers were treated to a color talking picture featuring an ice cream fantasy as a finale. The scene occurred in an ice cream factory where chorus girls carried chocolate and strawberries to a huge freezer while other scantily clad girls skated across the freezer and coasted around on large slabs of Neapolitan. Cantor meanwhile was treating hundreds of ragged children to an ice cream banquet, and a reformed gangster shot cherries into each kid’s dish from a machine gun.

In 1952 on the Yale campus, the police ordered a portable ice cream cart off the campus. The result was a riot involving 1,500 students that was quelled with hoses and clubs. The owner of the pushcart was ultimately allowed to return to the campus, and a victory rally was held in his honor.

• Irv’s father owned an ice cream store in Tacoma, Washington, and Irv often helped out. After World War II, he decided to open his own ice cream shop in Glendale, California. Meanwhile, Irv’s sister married a man named Burt, who was in the men’s clothing business. Irv convinced his brother-in-law that selling ice cream was a lot more fun than selling suits. So Burt opened an ice cream parlor in Pasadena. • Together they worked to invent new flavors, until they had one flavor for every day of the month. By 1948 Irv owned five ice cream shops and Burt owned three. By this time they realized they were paying less and less attention to each individual store, so they decided to combine their efforts and sell the shops to the store managers in a franchising operation. What should they name their franchise? • They decided to use their last names, so Irv and Burt flipped a coin to see whose name would be first. By 1949 they had 43 stores; there were more than 100 running by 1960; and in 1967 when they sold out to United Fruit Company for $12 million, they had around 500. Burt died six months later, but Irv remained involved in the company until he retired in 1978.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● It was Spanish philosopher George Santayana who made the following observation: “Sanity is a madness put to good uses.” ● On a per-pound basis, your brain uses 10 times the calories as any other part of your body. ● You might be surprised to learn that the U.S. state that is closest to Africa is Maine. ● If you listen to the radio for one hour, you will hear approximately 11,000 words spoken (or sung). ● It was beloved British author (and, of course, creator of Sherlock Holmes) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who introduced the sport of skiing to Switzerland, thereby transforming that snowy country into a premier tourist destination. ● Those who decide to go into goat farming should know that the group of goats they’re raising could be called a flock, a herd, a tribe or a trip.
● Those who purport to predict the future usually have pretty poor track records. You might be surprised to learn, then, that in 1900, a journalist named John Watkins successfully predicted a number of significant developments that came to pass in the 20th century. In an article in the Ladies’ Home Journal, Watkins wrote that within the following 100 years, “Man will see around the world. Persons and things of all kinds will be brought within focus of cameras connected electrically with screens at opposite ends of circuits, thousands of miles at a span.” Also, “Hot or cold air will be turned on from spigots to regulate the temperature of a house”; “ready-cooked meals will be bought from establishments similar to our bakeries of today, &É equipped with electric stoves, coffee-grinders, eggbeaters, stirrers, meat-saws, dishwashers and the like”; and “wireless telephone and telegraph circuits will span the world.” (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
• Colombian: This term means different things to different people, depending on how you get your “jones.” Narcotics dealers may refer to their products as Colombian, although the actual source is often unknown. Luckily, the majority of us prefer a bit of legal Colombian, as in the coffee grown in the South American nation. The prevalence of coffee shops throughout America is proof enough that many of us just can’t get along in the morning without a hot cup of Colombian. • Chinese: The generic term “chinese” now represents types of food that are very different from the meals that are (or ever were) served in China. That said, the same argument could be made about what we consider “American” food. Hamburgers? Ice cream? Hot Pizza? favorites Do you like dogs? reading this paper?Our If you national own a business, consider to have originated everywhere except all theseem other people reading this paper.

• In the 1890s Caleb Bradham opened a drugstore and soda fountain in North Carolina. He wanted to invent a drink that would soothe an upset stomach without using narcotics. Using kola nut, vanilla, and extracts, he whipped up a new concoction. He named it after a stomach enzyme that aids digestion, because he believed his drink would aid digestion just as the enzyme does. • The company expanded rapidly, but a major ingredient was sugar, and when sugar prices fluctuated during World War I, Bradham declared bankruptcy. Another entrepreneur bought the drink company from the bank, but declared bankruptcy during the Depression. • In 1931 Charles Guth bought the company for $10,500 out of sheer spite. He owned a chain of over 100 candy stores with soda fountains and was angry that Coca-Cola wouldn’t give him a price break on the enormous volumes of soda he sold. He wanted to give them some competition, but he too ran into financial problems and even offered to sell out to CocaCola, a deal they refused. • Then he began selling the drink in a 12 ounce bottle for a nickel, whereas CokaCola came in a 6-ounce bottle for a nickel. Customers flocked to his product. Today the firm does $39 billion in business annually and has 185,000 employees. What’s the name of the drink? (Answer on next paragraph) IT’S A FACT During Prohibition, the Women’s Christian Temperance union attacked soft drinks as being potentially addictive. This inspired an editor of a Kansas newspaper to write a satire in which he worried about “men returning home sodden with Coca-Cola” and men “caught in the grip of the Coca-Cola habit.” Answer: Pepsi, and pepsin. ANOTHER NEW SODA POP • Charles Grigg went to work for an advertising agency in St. Louis where one of his clients was a soft drink company. He became intrigued by the soft drink business and went to work for the manufacturer, tinkering with recipes and inventing a successful new soft drink called Whistle (as in ‘wet your’). After a falling-out with his boss, he went to work for a different soft drink maker and invented an orange-flavored soft drink called Howdy. Howdy was popular but it could not compete with Orange Crush which had the market sewn up tight. • Eventually Charles started his own firm, and in 1929 came out with a lemon-lime flavored soda called Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda. ‘Bib-Label’ was for the bottle’s label which was hung around the neck of the bottle like a bib, and ‘lithiated’ was for the lithium citrate (a mood enhancing substance) that the drink contained in trace amounts. • Charles had the bad luck to release his product mere weeks before the stock market crash of 1929. During the Great Depression that followed, he had a lot stacked against him: his product had a difficult name, it was priced higher than the competition, and he had a lot of competition. The one thing he could change was the name, so he changed it to something extremely simple. By the 1940s his re-named soft drink was the third best selling soda in the world. What’s the new name? (Answer at bottom of page) • A failed cola company in Ohio named their new pop Norka, advertising, “Remember— Norka spelled backwards is Akron.” Answer: 7-Up.

What’s in Your tank? My first experience of a Midwest small town parade was
“sweet”. Personal lawnmowers, tractors, wagons, etc. were traveling down a designated road throwing out candy. Picture your life being a transportation vehicle as you navigate your way through the roads of life with an opportunity to distribute “sweet” gifts. After several pot holes and barriers your vehicle breaks down. You trade in your earthly vehicle for a heavenly one (salvation). The new car needs fuel to get off the lot (Holy Spirit). If we keep our car Spirit fueled and filled we will see 9 fruits fill the inside of our vehicle; love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and selfcontrol. As we stay on our heavenly road we are given gifts to distribute that will benefit others. The scriptures are full of identifying the gifts of the Holy Spirit. If you want a vehicle that is heaven bound, full of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, and gifts that will benefit others it is time to trade the old one in for a new one and fuel it with heavenly power.

Cutting Disability Risk Is No Sweat
The British Medical Journal has reported some findings that will cheer quite a number of seniors: We don’t necessarily have to do strenuous workouts to lower our risk of becoming disabled. During the two-year study, 1,680 participants ages 49 to 83 in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island wore accelerometers to measure the intensity and duration of their daily living activities. Key activities included cooking, grocery shopping, making phone calls, walking across the room, bathing and getting dressed. All of the participants were free of disability but were either at risk for knee osteoarthritis or already had it. The outcome showed that the more time spent in light-intensity activities, the lower the association with disability, as well as reduced progression of existing disability. It appears that the crucial factor is the amount of time spent in activities, not the intensity of an activity. So spending more time during the day simply moving your body may reduce disability. Granted, previous research indicated that 2 1/2 hours a week of moderate to vigorous activity can reduce disability, but some of us just aren’t able to handle moderate exercise, much less vigorous. So, just how long do we need to engage in light activities to give us the edge in lowering our disability risk? That depends on how far you want to reduce your risk. Spending four hours a day will reduce your risk 43 percent. The more minutes, the greater the reduction in risk. But even light housework each day or getting up during TV commercials can cut your risk of becoming disabled by osteoarthritis. All you have to do is move!
