PEOPLE NAMED SMITH by Janet Spencer
The word “smith” comes from the Saxon word which means “to smite.” A smith was anyone who worked with a hammer, whether he was hammering wood, metal, or stone. Thus there were blacksmiths, clocksmiths, coppersmiths, goldsmiths, gunsmiths, locksmiths, silversmiths, arrowsmiths, and so on. And since all these smiths needed a hammer, there were also hammersmiths. Come along with Tidbits as we admire people named Smith!
SMITH FACTS
• The most common surnames in America are (in order) Smith, Johnson, Williams, Brown, Jones, Miller, Davis, Garcia, Rodriguez, Wilson, Martinez, Anderson, Taylor, Thomas, Hernandez, Moore, Martin, Jackson, Thompson, Lopez, Lee, Gonzalez. • There are about 2.5 million Smiths in the U.S. • It’s been estimated that half of the Smiths in the U.S. trace their ancestry to England. There are also many Smiths who originated in Germany, including Schmidts, Schmids, Schmitts, Smitts, and Smits. • Smith County, Kansas is the geographic center of the U.S., and the town of Smith Center is the county seat. They were both named for Major James Smith who was killed in a Civil War battle near Kansas City in 1864. (continued next page)

• In 1969 the Jim Smith Society was formed. You have to be named Jim Smith to be a member. • In the 1930s an organization called The Benevolent and Protective and Completely Universal Order of Fred Smiths of America had a convention in New York City, to which only people named Fred Smith were invited. A man named Smith Frederick sought admission but was only allowed to attend if he walked backwards and ate dinner with his back to the table. • In 1942 the National Society to Discourage Use of the Name Smith for Purposes of Hypothetical Illustration [TNSDUNSPHI] was formed at the University of Minnesota. The organization was formed by Glenn Smith, who was a student under Dale Yoder. During class, Yoder called every hypothetical character in his lectures “James Smith.” Glenn Smith took exception to this and dreamed up TNSDUNSPHI. He had letterhead made up and the printer, who was also named Smith, printed them up at a special rate in exchange for being named chairman of the board. Lowell Smith, a radio newscaster, drummed up publicity. The newspapers picked it up and the organization was on its way. Hundreds of people signed up. The motto was, “A guy named Smith / Must be reckoned with.” Members were required to carry their cards with them at all times and give them to anyone who used the name Smith for hypothetical illustration. Their battle cry was, “When you think of Smith, say John Doe!” • Mary Pickford’s real name was Gladys Smith, and her father’s name was John Smith. She once said, “I remember as a tiny girl hearing him say that he would never risk being arrested, for if the judge asked him his name and he replied, ‘John Smith’ he would surely be held in contempt of court.” (cont’d)

• In 1945, Warner Brothers wanted to call national attention to their latest female movie star, Alexis Smith. A publicity man came up with an idea. A few days later newspapers all over the country announced that Organized Smiths of America (OSA) had announced their achievement awards, and the award for acting went to Miss Alexis Smith. The following year another set of OSA awards was announced, including the award for military science which went to General Holland M. Smith. The next year, newspapers all over the country were requesting copies of the award results. There was no such organization.

• When founder of TNSDUNSPHI Glenn Smith was presented with the problem of what to name his firstborn son, he wanted something really distinctive. He christened the child “Smith” so he became Smith Smith. • In Pearson, Georgia, Frank Smith was tired of being mistaken for other Frank Smiths, so he named his son 5/8 Smith. 5/8’s wife called him Willie. • A child born during a Louisiana flood was named William McKinley Louisiana Levee Bust Smith. • In 1901 a boy born in Oklahoma was christened Loyal Lodge No. 296 Knights of Pythias Ponca City Oklahoma Smith. • Another Smith presented with a newborn boy wanted an unusual first name for the child and named him Euphonius Smith. The young boy was called “Phoney” for short throughout his childhood. • A newspaper photographer in San Francisco named Smith wanted to change his first name to something unusual, so he went to court and legally became Another Smith. • The Des Moines Register in Des Moines, Iowa had a article about joining various clubs and mention the TNDUNSPHI Society on page 51 of their Sunday January 31st, 1943 edition.

• Charles Emory Smith was Postmaster General under Presidents McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. He was scheduled to be the speaker at a dinner where important politics were to be discussed. When he arrived at the dinner, he was so drunk that when his name was called to present his speech, he was unable to arise from his chair. After a pause, the meeting continued without him. The following day, the newspaper reported, “Charles Emory Smith was called upon to speak and his remarks will be found on the following page.” The next page of the paper was totally blank, except for a small line at the bottom which said, “What else could he say?” • Some time later Charles Emory Smith was a speaker at another dinner where he was expounding on the problems of having such a common name. He said, “Sometimes I find myself wishing that I had lived in the time of Moses. It is written quite clearly in the Bible, I Samuel 13:19: ‘Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel.’ It must have been a happy land.”

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE
Are you Empty? One of my favorite life lessons in scripture is recorded by Dr. Luke in the 5th chapter. He recounts a story about the difficulty of working endlessly all day and night with no results. Jesus is in the boat with an exhausted Simon and fellow fisherman. He encourages them to try casting their nets one more time. “Master, we’ve worked hard all night but because you say so I will let the nets down. When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.” I, like Peter, have had times when I hit the end of my day with nothing in my tank except exhaustion, fatigue, and depression. Have you been there? Your outlook is bleak, you can’t dream anymore, and you’re afraid to do anything because nothing has worked. It’s disappointment after disappointment. It could be haunting memories, unemployment, addictions, financial failure, or sickness. You wrestle through sleepless nights and empty nets. There is a still small voice that is speaking in the depths of your struggles. The voice is saying, “Don’t give up,” and if you can respond there is a filling coming your way. Can you take what is left in you and say, like Simon, “Because you say so, I will let the nets down.” Invite the divine presence of our Lord and watch how your situation will change.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles
Many seniors get to a point in life where a big house is too much to manage. Maybe the weather is no longer tolerable. It’s then that the idea of a retirement community begins to look inviting. However, a new place to live might not be all you imagined. Before you pack up and move into a retirement community, consider the following: Will you have control of when and how you leave the community? If your health fails, does the fine print say that someone else gets to decide when you need a place with more care? Look carefully at the details of continuingcare communities and learn what they actually provide, versus independentliving communities. Find out what’s available at the closest hospital, just in case. If you already have a helper who does your shopping or cleaning, will that person be allowed to continue? Will your new home have a kitchen? If it doesn’t, you’ll be stuck with adhering to the eating schedules already established in the dining room. Is there a fee to bring your meals to you? You won’t automatically make new friends, or even be accepted by people. The groups have already formed before you arrive. Find out the ages, genders and single/couple ratios. What is the rate of staff turnover at any community you consider? High turnover can indicate unhappiness among the staff. Are your hobbies supported? If the slick brochures advertise pottery classes, do those actually take place? Are you allowed to sell your home to anyone, or does management have a say? What is the annual rate of increase of any monthly fees? If you make a large lump-sum payment when you move in, is the entrance fee refundable? Have an attorney review any documents before you sign them.
CAN YOU TRUST YOUR EYES? There are at least 6 differences in drawing details between the top & bottom panels. How quickly can you find them? See answers on page 12
