TIDBITS® KEEPS THE BEAT WITH by Patricia L. Cook This Tidbits examines where and when marching bands originated and other trivial matters to help us stay in step with the bands. • The first marching bands started many centuries ago with military organizations. The needs of military groups to get thousands of troops moving in the same direction quickly, without mishaps, were best met if everyone stayed in rows, the same distance apart. Orderly movement was easiest if it was done in an organized manner. Because many groups did not have musical instruments, chants of, “Left – left, left, right, left,” giving instruction on which foot should be down helped accomplish the tasks. As military troops grew around the world, choruses of encouragement and sometimes humor were added. • When available, drums were added to help troops stay together as they progressed along the way. Musical instruments were added through the years and melodies were great for keeping soldiers encouraged and giving them a sense of pride. • During the Revolutionary War in America, soldiers marched to fifes and drums. The Civil War brought the development of drum and bugle corps. During the big wars: World War I and II, full brass, percussion and woodwind bands formed. turn the page for more!

(continued): • Early military troops in Scotland and some places in Canada marched to drums and bagpipes. Some still use this style. • Military traditions are still used by modern marching bands. Bands usually march in formation and use orders of “attention”, “about face” and “forward march.” Most marching band uniforms resemble military uniforms. • The marching bands that most people think of are university, college, and high school bands that perform at football games and in parades. Halftime shows can be quite elaborate and require hours of training. • The marching band credited with the first modern halftime show at a football game was the Marching Illini of the University of Illinois in 1907. It occurred at a game against the University of Chicago. • The first band to break the tradition of military ranks and form a letter on the football field was Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The letter, of course, was the “Block P” for Purdue. The first time it was on the field was in 1907 under the direction of Paul Spotts Emrick who was the first band director and served the university band for 49 years, from 1905-1954. • Emrick came up with the plan for the “Block P” after seeing a flock of birds flying in a “V” formation. He decided that if birds could make a letter a band surely could replicate the action in a formation on a football field. The Purdue “All American” Marching Band still forms the P before every home game.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver ● It was former heavyweight champion and social activist Muhammad Ali who made the following observation: “A nation is only as good as its women.” ● During World War I, fully one-third of all men in England between the ages of 17 and 35 were killed. ● The 20th century saw some profound changes in society, and here is one of the more striking examples: Between 1900 and 1990, the lifespan of the average American man increased from less than 47 years to more than 72 years. ● You might be surprised to learn that 20 percent of American families don’t have bank accounts. ● It was in the late 1930s when Harry Reeves, a writer for the Donald Duck cartoon, decided that introducing three nephews would open up a lot of story lines. At a loss for names for the characters, Reeves asked Jim Carmichael, who also worked on the cartoons, for suggestions. Carmichael was busy with his own work, but in glancing down at the newspaper on his desk he noticed Thomas E. Dewey and Huey P. Long were both mentioned in headlines, so he suggested Huey and Dewey. A friend named Louie Schmitt stopped in to say hello at that moment, so he added Louie as the third nephew. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Purdue is also known for what is considered to be the “World’s Largest Bass Drum.” The original drum built by Leedy Corporation in Indianapolis in 1921 is still used today. • The large drum is about eight feet in diameter, nearly four feet wide between the drum heads and more than 10 feet high when mounted on the field carriage built for rolling it around. A crew of four bandsmen handling the drum must have accurate timing and placement for the two beaters to keep accurate time with the band. • Now, in case you have heard about “Big Bertha” and wonder where she fits in with the above story about the “World’s Largest Bass Drum,” read on. • Big Bertha is the large drum that belongs to the University of Texas. Created for the University of Chicago, Bertha’s first game was when Chicago played Princeton on October 23, 1922. When Chicago stopped its football program, band at the university was also discontinued. At that time, the large drum was put in storage. • Colonel D. Harold Byrd, a Texas Longhorn band supporter purchased Bertha from the University of Chicago in 1955. Bertha’s dimensions are eight feet (2.4 m) in diameter, 54 inches wide and more than 10 feet high when mounted on her trailer. Called the “sweetheart of the Longhorn band,” Big Bertha is escorted by the “Bertha Crew.” • Members of the Kappa Kappa Psi fraternity of Purdue challenged their Texas fraternity brothers to a drum showdown in 1961 to settle the question of which band had the largest bass drum. They planned the showdown at the fraternity’s national convention in Wichita, Kansas. Purdue kept its side of the promise and loaded their drum on a truck and headed west. They stopped in Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City and Topeka, pushing their drum through the streets showing off. A man and his wife were cleaning up the house. The man came across a box he didn’t recognize. His wife told him to leave it alone, it was personal. One day she was out and his curiosity got the best of him. He opened the box, and inside he found 3 eggs and $2000. When his wife came home, he admitted that he opened the box, and he asked her to explain the contents to him. She told him that every time he told a bad Joke, she would put an egg in the box. He interrupted, “In twenty years, only three bad jokes, that’s not bad.” His wife continued...”and every time I got a dozen eggs, I would sell them for $1.”

• When the Purdue students and their drum arrived in Wichita, they discovered that their Texas fraternity brothers didn’t bring their drum. By default, Purdue declared their drum as the “World’s Largest Drum.” Since then, the exact measurements of the Purdue Big Bass Drum have been kept secret, preserving the mystique of its existence.

•
Marching bands exist in universities, colleges, senior and junior high schools for more than just football games. They also perform at other school events and parades. Many large parades across the country are magnificent venues for marching bands.
• The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade is one of the famous parades that marching bands love to participate in. There are usually about a dozen bands that are chosen from entries received from the band directors. Having a unique feature helps a band get chosen. Participants have come from all 50 states and even as far away as Guatemala. A band that always performs and is a crowd favorite represents New York’s own police department (NYPD).
STUPID CROOKS Demand notes have been written on the back of a subpoena issued in the name of a bank robber in Pittsburgh... on an envelope bearing the name and address of another in Detroit. And in East Hartford, Connecticut, on the back of a withdrawal slip giving the robber’s signature and account number.
• Independence Day (Fourth of July) parades across the nation are filled with patriotic floats and marching bands playing patriotic music. One of the largest parades is, naturally, the National Independence Day Parade in Washington, D. C. The 2012 parade had 28 bands mostly from military units and high schools. There were also marching platoons from all of the military services: Army, Marine, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.
Tools 4 life
• Marching bands put in many hours of practice and training to get their steps and tunes right. Many dedicated musicians get as much of a thrill by participating in marching drills as they do in hearing the music.
By DR. Jim coyle GET OFF THE BENCH Life is going by at a hectic pace. You were designed and created for something much more than making a living. The time is now for you to stand up. The poet William Arthur Ward said: “I will do more than belong-I will participate. I will do more than care-I will help. I will do more than believe-I will practice. I will do more than be fair-I will be kind. I will do more than forgive-I will forget. I will do more than dream-I will work. I will do more than teach-I will inspire. I will do more than learn-I will enrich. I will do more than give-I will serve. I will do more than live-I will grow. I will do more than suffer-I will triumph.” You must believe in God, believe in yourself, and have the faith to do what you are called to do. It’s time to get off the bench. www.pastoralcarecentercr.com
Signs that you need to get away from the computer: You try to enter your password on the microwave. You email your son in his room to tell him that dinner is ready, and he emails you back, ‘What’s for dinner dad?’ Your daughter sets up a web site to sell Girl Scout Cookies. You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa, but you don’t know your next door neighbor yet.

When Eleanor’s mother died in 1892 she and her siblings went to live with their maternal grandmother. Her father died two years later in 1894. He was the younger brother of Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States from 1901-1909, • Eleanor was a very shy child but being of wealthy Roosevelt heritage she received an excellent education at Allenswood, a boarding school in London from 1899 to 1902. With the education and maturity, Eleanor developed self-confidence that lead her to become a leader among women of her era.
STUPID CROOKS
Avoid the sad fate of the thieves in Florida who took a wrong turn into the Homestead Air Force Base, drove up to a military police guardhouse and, thinking it was a tollbooth, offered the security men money.
• After her return from England, Eleanor met a handsome Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) in her affluent circle of friends. The distant cousins became engaged in 1903 and married in 1905. • According to genealogical records Eleanor and FDR were fifth cousins, once removed. The closest mutual ancestor was Nicholas Roosevelt. One of his sons was FDR’s greatgreat-great grandfather; another son was Eleanor’s great-great-great-great grandfather. • President Theodore Roosevelt, Eleanor’s uncle, walked her down the aisle and had the honor of “giving her away” in marriage.
Look for puzzle answers on page 8.
• Franklin and Eleanor had six children in the next eleven years; one son died as an infant. They also had to contend with Sara, FDR’s mother who tried to run their lives in their early years of married life! • With Eleanor’s encouragement and support FDR entered politics and served in the New York state senate from 1910-1913. It was in Albany, the state capital of New York, that Eleanor started her own rise to fame as an able political helpmate. • When FDR served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy from 1913-1920 during Woodrow Wilson’s presidency, Eleanor gained tremendous knowledge of Washington and national politics. • When her husband was stricken with polio in 1921, and lost the use of his legs for the remainder of his life. Mrs. Roosevelt devoted her time to caring for him. She also became active in the State Democratic Committee women’s division to keep FDR’s interest in politics piqued. • Eleanor encouraged and supported her husband as Governor of New York and later, in 1933, as President of the United States. She “became his eyes and ears” and the closest confidant for her husband, helping and understanding during the trying times of his presidency, which included the “Great Depression” and World War II. • Mrs. Roosevelt changed the role of First Lady. She greeted and entertained thousands with her charm. She expressed her opinions in a daily syndicated newspaper column entitled “My Day,” gave press conferences, travelled all around the country, gave lectures and participated in radio broadcasts. • After FDR’s death in 1945, Eleanor was selected as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly, serving from 1945 to 1953. She became the chair of the UN’s Human Rights Commission and helped write the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She considered this one of her greatest achievements.

The American Kennel Club groups them with other “Toy Dogs” like Pugs and Yorkshire Terriers. Feline aficionados also use the term Maltese to describe cats that have a similarly silky, grayblue coat. • 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? IfHot Barbie so popular, why favorites do you dogs?isPizza?

If you have a computer with Internet access, you can have your own account at Social Security, even if you’re not yet collecting benefits. You’ll be able to do a number of things with your account, including check your payment history, look at your earnings record, get your benefit verification letter and make changes to your direct-deposit information. The benefit letter can come in handy if you need to apply for other benefits or loans. There’s no waiting for the letter to be mailed. If you don’t receive benefits yet (but are age 18 or older), you can get information and estimates of benefits you’ll receive in the future, your earnings record and estimates of the Social Security and Medicare taxes you’ve paid in. Why would you want to do this? There’s the convenience, of course. But it also will save Social Security some money. Instead of having people send out the benefit verification letters, you’ll be able to print it immediately. To open an online account, click on the My Social Security tab at www.socialsecurity. gov. Be prepared to answer questions only you would know the answer to. You’ll set up a user name and password. The requirements are that you have an email address, a Social Security number, a mailing address in the U.S. and be at least 18 years old. First, though, make sure your computer’s virus program is up to date, including your firewall and WiFi settings, if you have a router. If you’ve had a My Social Security Account in the past and you already get benefits, your password will no longer work. They’ve revamped the website and you’ll need to create a new account.

Whether you spend hours seeking a four-leaf clover or have a favorite rabbit’s foot that you rub, you may wonder about the origins and realities of symbols of good luck. • The plant that is considered to be the original shamrock is the white clover, trifolium repens, plant. These true shamrocks sometimes produce four-leaf clovers. The way to know that these are the real thing is that the fourth leaf is smaller than the other three leaves. • According to the Free Online Encyclopedia, a shamrock is “a plant with leaves composed of three leaflets. According to legend it was used by St. Patrick in explaining the doctrine of the Trinity; it is now used as the emblem of Ireland.” • St. Patrick was actually born in Britain, kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave when he was only 16. He later escaped and then returned to Ireland as a missionary. He used the native clover to explain the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and is credited with bringing Christianity to the Irish people. • With four-leaf clovers it is said that the first leaf is for faith, the second for hope, the third for love and the fourth for luck. In Irish tradition, the regular shamrock or 3-leaf clover represents the Holy Trinity: one leaf for each person of the Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. When a fourth leaf exists on a shamrock it is said to represent God’s grace. • The native 3-leaf clover, called a Shamrock, is the most popular national symbol of Ireland. • According to age-old legend, Eve carried a four-leaf clover from the Garden of Eden. • Sir John Melton wrote in 1620, “If a man walking in the fields find any four-leaved grass, he shall in a small while after find some good thing.” • For people who look more to “luck” than spiritual symbolism from clover, the leaves of a four-leaf clover represents four lucky characteristics: love, health, respect and wealth. • In the Celtic religion of the Druids in early Irish history, three was a mystical number. They considered the shamrock a sacred plant because of its three leaves that formed a triad, also called a trifoliolate plant. •
Early Celts of Wales believed that white clover, held in high esteem, would protect against evil spirits.
• The “luck of the Irish” is spoken about as much in America as it is in Ireland. In fact, many Irish traditions are rooted more in American heritage than Irish. • St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland is a religious holiday. Many businesses close for the day so families can spend time together. St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in America are more American than Irish! • The Charitable Irish Society of Boston held the first St. Patrick’s Day celebration in America in 1737. • Shamrocks, the three-leaf varieties, are worn by many in America and Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day to celebrate Irish heritage. County Cork, Ireland, is known for its growth of shamrock plants. Several million plants are grown and shipped all over the world every St. Patrick’s Day from the area.

A proud father brought home a swing set he had just purchased for his children and immediately began to assemble it while all the neighborhood children anxiously waited to play on it. After several hours of reading the assembly instructions and trying to fit bolt A into slot B, etc., he gave up and called upon an old handyman working in a neighboring yard. The old-timer came over, tossed the directions away, and had the set completely assembled in a short period of time. “It’s beyond me,” the father said, “how you managed to get it all put together without even reading the directions.” To tell the truth,” replied the old-timer, “I can’t read, and when you can’t read, you’ve got to think.”
