A NEW SODA POP
• 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 Coka-Cola 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 next paragraph)

“Standing Together”
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?

252 Broadway Street, Springville 319-854-7325 VETERANS POST by Freddy Groves
VA Stonewalls Congress Over Deaths of 40 Vets Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, has called for a complete investigation into the travesty of the 40 veterans who died while awaiting care at the Department of Veterans Affairs medical center in Phoenix. In his statement, Miller wrote of the “growing pattern of preventable veteran deaths and patient safety incidents at VA medical centers across the country,” and specifically mentions Atlanta; Columbia, S.C.; Augusta, Ga.; Pittsburgh; and Memphis. A week later, Miller wrote directly to VA chief Eric Shinseki about the delay in preserving evidence of “secret” wait lists at the Phoenix VA. He cited several witnesses to the fact that paper lists were shredded, and he had requested more specific information about the who, what and when of it. He got nada -- even though he’d made a request for the preservation of the documents as far back as April 9. It turns out the VA’s general counsel hadn’t passed along the request for eight days ... plenty of time to shred a lot of documents. Miller is someone to watch. A few months ago, he launched a program called the VA Honesty Project, which is “designed to highlight the Department of Veterans Affairs’ lack of transparency with the press, and by extension, with the public.” He pointed out that the VA has 54 full-time employees who are tasked with handling media requests ... or ignoring them, as the case may be. Miller’s project documents 70 cases so far in which the VA failed to respond to questions, saying that the VA’s “media avoidance strategy can’t be anything other than intentional.” The Veterans committee itself has been waiting on more than 100 information requests dating back to 2012. To view the evidence, see: http://veterans.house.gov/ VAHonestyProject.

BOOKS -Recommended Reading “The Eternal Nazi: From Mauthausen to Cairo, the Relentless Pursuit of SS Doctor Aribert Heim” by Nicholas Kulish and Souad Mekhennet (Doubleday, $27.98) Reviewed by Larry Cox Aribert Heim worked at the Nazi concentration camp in Mauthausen for only a few months in 1941, but he quickly became known as “Dr. Death.” The Austrian SS doctor’s experiments on Jews, such as injecting gasoline directly into their hearts and even removing organs from living prisoners without anesthesia, became notorious. At the end of World War II, Heim slipped out of Germany, evaded capture and eventually settled in a working-class neighborhood of Cairo. In his new homeland, he prayed in Arabic and remained hidden, even though a manhunt for him continued due to the testimony of survivors who told of the doctor’s atrocities. How Heim lived under the radar is the subject of a fascinating new book by Nicholas Kulich, former Berlin bureau chief of The New York Times, and Souad Mekhennet, a seasoned journalist and frequent contributor to both The Washington Post and Daily Beast. It reads more like a mystery novel than a work of nonfiction. According to the authors, Heim might never have been found if not for the efforts of a group of Germans who were unwilling to let Nazi war criminals go unpunished. Among them was a police investigator, Alfred Aedtner, who turned finding the former Nazi into an obsession. His quest took him across Europe, occupying several decades of his time, and became, in essence, nothing less than a powerful symbol of German’s evolving attitude toward the sins of its past. A desire to see justice done at almost any cost became paramount. As late as 2009, the mystery of Heim’s disappearance seemed almost unsolvable. This highly readable account reveals how historical detection, grit and determination finally illuminated a nation’s dramatic reckoning with the crimes of the Holocaust and one of the most shocking war criminals ever.

Clean out your closets, basement, attic, or garage and hold a garage sale during the Coggon Citywide Garage Sales on Friday and Saturday, June 6 & 7, 2014. In return for a nominal donation to cover expenses, Jen (319-435-2028) will include your location on the sale map and take care of the advertising. Call today to list your garage sale! For those individuals who have been heard saying, “I don’t have a garage.” “I live out of town.” “No one ever comes to my sale.” “I don’t know where to advertise.” — No more excuses! The asphalt quad at the Coggon Center (the former school building at 408 E Linn St) will be open for garage sale stations, which will be available both Friday and Saturday on a first-come, first-served basis. Sellers will be responsible for bringing their own tables and removing all leftover items from the premises at the close of each day’s sale. Email coggonaba@aol.com or leave a message at 435-2484 for more details. Contact Little Treasure mission shop [located inside the Coggon Center (319-3561-2790)] about donating unsold items.

Give Jars in Bloom to Thank a Teacher As the school year winds down, it’s time to show appreciation to a special teacher. Here’s a springy idea: Arrange a casual bouquet of flowers with offshoots of your child’s creativity. First, choose some flowers and greens, such as hosta leaves and herbs for fragrance from your garden, or purchase a bouquet at your market. Let your child trim the stems, loosely arrange the blooms and greens in his hand, and then head for the recycle bin. The perfect “vase” for the blooms just may be lurking between a milk carton and last Sunday’s newspaper. I’m thinking pint-size pasta-sauce jars, but any glass pickle, mayonnaise or fruit jar makes a casual and charming “jar in bloom.” Simply wash with soapy water, remove the label, tie twine around the rim, and set the bouquet

inside. Add some water and a card, and it’s ready to give. It’s also fun for kids to decorate and personalize the jars before adding the flowers. Here are some handmade arty ideas using nontoxic paint pens, ribbon, wire, beads or anything that catches your child’s attention in your craft box. Compose a jingle or rhyme about the teacher receiving the bouquet and write it on the jar with paint pens. Tie ribbon around the rim and thread a few small beads near the ends of the ribbon to dangle on the jar.
Use acrylic paints to paint designs or images of the teachers’ favorite things. Simply write a thank-you greeting directly on the jar with paint pens, and then finish it off with copper wire twisted around the neck of the bottle several times. Arrange a curly willow branch and two or three flowers in the modern vase. Extra idea: Painted and decorated jars make attractive containers for displaying kids’ summer camp and vacation nature finds. Write the place and date directly on the jar with paint pens and fill with pretty rocks from a lake in Wisconsin, mini pinecones from a woodland walk in Oregon, or sand from a beach in Florida. *** Donna Erickson’s awardwinning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.
