HISTORY’S MYSTERIES
by Kathy Wolfe The unexplained…the unresolved… the unanswered. This week, Tidbits investigates some baffling happenings whose endings haven’t yet been written. • On June 1, 1937, aviatrix Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan departed Miami on a 29,000 mile journey, attempting to circumnavigate the globe. Their last contact was on July 2 from the vicinity of Howland Island in the central Pacific Ocean, just 7,000 miles from completing their goal. Earhart stated in her last radio transmission that the plane was low on gas. Within an hour of that contact, searches had begun, including 60 planes launched from an aircraft carrier that stayed in the area until July 18. The plane had disappeared without a single trace. The official version of her disappearance is that she crashed and sank in the 18,000-foot-deep ocean. Another version claimed that the plane went down in the Marshall Islands and the pair were picked up by the Japanese, imprisoned in Saipan, and executed there. Yet, another theory states that they remained castaways and lived out their lives on a Pacific island. Scores of searches have been launched over the years, including the most recent in June, 2015, when a 14-member team scoured the uninhabited South Pacific island of Nikumaroro with no results.

One afternoon, a man was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the road side. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. "Why are you eating grass?" he asked one man. "We don't have any money for food.", The poor man replied. "Oh, come along with me then." "But sir, I have a wife with two children!" "Bring them along! And you, come with us too!", he said to the other man. "But sir, I have a wife with six children!" the second man answered. "Bring them as well!" They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the Limo. Once underway, one of the poor fellows says "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you." The rich man replied : "No, I appreciate you....... the grass at my home is about three feet tall !!!
• In November of 1971, Dan Cooper, having paid $18.52 for a ticket, boarded a Boeing 727 on Northwest Airlines Flight 305 in Portland, Oregon, along with 36 others, bound for Seattle. (A press communication later mislabeled the man as “D.B. Cooper.”) Shortly into the flight, Cooper passed a note to the flight attendant, advising her that his briefcase contained a bomb. Thinking he was giving her his phone number, she stuck the unopened note into her pocket. Her indifference caused Cooper to speak to her, “Miss, you’d better look at that note. I have a bomb.” The note listed a demand for $200,000 in unmarked $20 bills and four parachutes. He received his cash and parachutes when the plane landed in Seattle, he set the passengers free, and commanded the pilot to fly him to Mexico, flying “low and slow” and leaving the back door unlocked. Five Air Force fighter planes tailed the jet, but not a soul witnessed Cooper’s jump into the rainy night somewhere between Seattle and Reno, Nevada. And D.B. Cooper has never been seen again. Nine years later, a family vacation led to the discovery of some of D.B. Cooper’s ransom money. An eight-year-old boy was looking for firewood near the border between Washington and Oregon discovered $5,800 in decaying $20 bills along the banks of the Columbia River. The serial numbers confirmed it was the hijacker’s money. No other money has ever been found, and considering the rugged wilderness, the FBI has always maintained that Cooper could not have survived his caper. Cont'd next page!

HISTORY’S MYSTERIES (cont'd):
• In 1587, Englishman John White led 120 colonists to establish a settlement on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. Just a few weeks later, his daughter gave birth to the first English child born in the New World. Shortly afterward, a shortage of supplies sent White back to England. His return to North Carolina was drastically delayed for three years by a naval war with Spain. When White finally landed on Roanoke in 1590, the settlers had vanished without a trace. The buildings had collapsed and houses were dismantled. The only clue left to their whereabouts was the word “Croatoan” carved on a fence post and “CRO” on a tree. Some believe this referred to Croatoan Island (Hatteras Island today), 50 miles south. It was also the name of a small group of Native Americans in the area. Searches turned up no survivors, but it may well be that the settlers sought help from the tribes and were gradually assimilated. A 1709 publication quoted Croatans who claimed to have white ancestors, and early colonists reported encounters with gray-eyed Native Americans. • Experts have long debated whether the Lost City of Atlantis was real or fictional. Described in Plato’s dialogues written about 330 B.C., Plato described it as a powerful and advanced kingdom that fell from the gods’ favor and sank into the ocean around 9600 B.C. “in a single day and night of misfortune.” Supposedly, the kingdom was on an island larger than “Libya and Asia Minor put together,” located in the Atlantic just beyond the Pillars of Hercules, which is believed to be the Strait of Gibraltar. The location has been linked with the Greek island of Santorini, which was destroyed by a volcano around 1600 B.C. The philosopher Aristotle joked about “Plato’s ability to conjure nations out of thin air and then destroy them,” but the legend of the long-lost utopia still fascinates today. No trace of the city has ever been found. Cont'd next page!

• UFO or government cover-up? In the summer of 1947, 75 miles from Roswell, New Mexico, a sheep rancher discovered some unusual debris in his pasture – metal sticks, chunks of plastic, foil reflectors, and heavy paper-like material. It wasn’t long after the rancher contacted the authorities that soldiers invaded his property and quickly scooped the pieces into armored trucks. While the U.S. military assured the public that it was a crashed weather balloon, the pieces didn’t resemble that at all. Many insisted that the debris was a crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft, complete with alien passengers. The UFO supporters claimed that the craft and its occupants had been captured and covered up by the military. Fifty years later, the military issued a report declaring that the mysterious wreckage was part of a top-secret atomic espionage project called Project Mogul. The report stated that the fragments really were a weather balloon, but one whose real purpose was to carry classified information. Yet there are still those who subscribe to the UFO theory, as demonstrated by the hundreds of thousands of annual visitors to the Roswell site.

• In November of 1872 the ship Mary Celeste left New York harbor with Answer for Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below: Captain Briggs, his wife, daughter, and eight crew members, with a destination of Italy. A month later, the ship was discovered floating in the Atlantic with no one aboard. The captain’s log and the life boat were missing; otherwise, the undamaged ship was intact. None of the travelers were ever seen again. The ship had been renamed after numerous other mishaps had befallen the craft, including three captains dying aboard The Elves Need the ship and the breakout of supposedly accidental fires.

A Little Nugget of Knowledge: In 2013, a California couple unearthed 1,400 gold coins stored in tin cans buried in their backyard. It was later revealed that $30,000 worth of similar gold coins had been stolen from the U.S. Mint in San Francisco in 1901. No one was ever convicted of the crime. Today, the coins' estimated value is $10 million.

WHODUNIT?
Some of history’s mysteries include crimes that were never solved. Tidbits checks out some unsolved mysteries that have not been explained. • There’s been no sign of Teamsters’ Union president Jimmy Hoffa since July 30, 1975. That’s the day he told his wife he was meeting two men (reportedly Mafia leaders) at Detroit’s Red Fox Restaurant for lunch. Hoffa had been involved with organized crime for many years during his union work. He had been convicted of attempted bribery of a grand juror and fraud, and was sentenced to eight years, of which he served less than five. Shortly after his release from prison, he received a $1.7 million lump sum pension from the Teamsters. On the day of his disappearance, bystanders claim they saw Hoffa taken away in the back seat of a car. The mobsters denied having any scheduled meeting with Hoffa. Although several individuals have claimed responsibility for Hoffa’s death, no human remains have ever been found and the case remains open. One theory is that his body was buried under New Jersey’s Meadowlands stadium. Another is that it is in a Michigan gravel pit. Most theories involve his body being encased in cement. • Was Massachusetts Sunday School teacher Lizzie Borden really an ax murderer? Although she was acquitted of the murders of her father and stepmother, since 1892, she has remained the prime suspect, and no one else was ever charged. A hatchet was discovered in the basement of the family home, but the handle was broken off and the blade was clean. Lizzie’s father was extremely wealthy (almost $10 million in today’s money) and was very unpopular, having made many enemies through shady business dealings. However, Lizzie had frequently exhibited signs of mental instability and hostility toward her stepmother. • Although Bruno Hauptmann was executed in 1936 for the kidnapping and murder of the son of aviator Charles Lindbergh, there are many who believed Hauptmann was framed for the crime. He denied all accusations and claimed he had been beaten by the police. The 20-month-old child was taken from his bed in March of 1932 and a massive investigation was launched within less than an hour. A ransom note asking for $50,000 was found in the nursery, but after it was paid, the location given as to where the baby could be found proved false. Seventy-two days later, the body was found in the woods near the Lindbergh house. Money with serial numbers matching the ransom was found in the home of Hauptmann, who claimed he was keeping it for a friend, who had since died. He maintained his innocence to the end, and his final words included the statement, “I protest my innocence of the crime for which I was convicted.” Trial discrepancies and new evidence discovered in recent years have raised doubts about Hauptmann’s guilt. • More than 125 years after five London women were murdered in a killing spree, Jack the Ripper remains a mystery. Over 100 suspects have been named as the possible serial killer, including a mentally disturbed surgeon, a barber, a butcher, a bootmaker, and a poet. In 1992, the diary of a Liverpool cotton merchant named James Maybrick was discovered, containing descriptions of the crime only the killer could have known. However, the man who had uncovered the diary admitted to its forgery three years later.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE From the Root to the Fruit
There are over 23,000 types of trees…and every type has roots. The root system of a tree usually grows between two to four times the width of the tree, establishing a foundation for growth and fed by the water and minerals of the soil. The better the soil, the stronger the roots, the healthier the tree. You can’t see the roots, but they determine the health of that tree. And so it goes in our lives. We are fed by our unseen values and 18, 19, 20 cu ft. how we water them. If we have no values to water then our lives will bear no fruit. If we have a beautiful piece of fruit in our life and we pull it from the source that is fed by its values then the appearance begins to fade and the inside begins to MTIDBITS (IA) Size: 3.33” X 3.33” rot.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles
Computer Use Pays Mental Dividends
Using a computer just once a week can help seniors avoid memory and thinking declines by a whopping 42 percent. So says a recent Mayo clinic study. This wasn’t a small study. Nearly 2,000 seniors participated, and all were age 70 and over. Four years earlier they had filled out a questionnaire that covered playing games, making crafts, socializing, reading magazines and computer use. Researchers then tracked them over time. The results: Playing games dropped the risk of memory decline by 14 percent, making crafts lowered it 16 percent, socializing saw a 23 percent drop and reading cut it by 30 percent. Computer use had the greatest effect at 42 percent. What researchers don’t know, however, is exactly how it works -whether it’s because of the lifestyle that computers users have or because using a computer actually causes brain changes. Still to be determined: whether increased participation or computer use would yield an even bigger reduction in risk. What does this mean for us? It means we should stay engaged, learn new things, accept challenges, be active and go out and socialize. We could even combine activities: Take a computer class that meets at least once a week, and afterward go out for lunch and coffee with a group of students. Or use the Internet to look up craft and hobby instructions and get ideas for new projects, or meet with a group to create crafts together. Use the Internet to sign up for news feeds and stay up on current events, or join a current events meet-up and socialize at the same time. There are lots of possibilities, and all could have a positive outcome. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
