CHEWING GUM (continued): • Remember the Alamo? Notorious Mexican dictator and general Antonio Santa Anna played a major role not only at the Alamo but also in bringing chewing gum to America. Living in exile on New York’s Staten Island in 1869, he made the acquaintance of Thomas Adams, whom he told about a gummy substance from the Sapodilla tree that his countrymen had been chewing for centuries. Santa Anna had a ton of chicle shipped to New York, with the intent of combining it with rubber to make cheaper tires and rainboots. When all the vulcanization experiments failed, Adams came up with a plan to manufacture chewing gum. He received a patent for a gum-making machine in 1871 and began producing unflavored chicle gum. He then added sarsaparilla flavoring and called it Adams New York No. 1. His next additive was licorice flavoring, and a long-time favorite, Black Jack, came into being, remaining in regular production from 1884 until the 1970s. • Chicle gum was a good replacement for the spruce and paraffin-based gums because it was smoother, softer and held its flavor. Over the years, chicle has been replaced by newer synthetic materials that are much less expensive, and there are very few companies still using natural chicle. Besides a gum base, gum ingredients are sweeteners, flavorings and softeners, such as glycerin or vegetable oil. A stick of sweetened gum contains about a half teaspoon of sugar. That white powder on a stick is a type of granulated sugar called “rolling powder.” A sugar substitute is dusted on sugar-free gums. • The first gum to be sold from a vending machine was one of Thomas Adams’ brands, Tutti-Fruitti. The machines were installed in New York City subway stations in 1888.

• When 29-year-old William Wrigley arrived in Chicago in 1891, he had $32 to his name. He got his start selling soap, offering free baking powder as an incentive to his customers. Before long, the baking powder was selling better than the soap, and he made a switch. As an incentive to buy more baking powder, doingum Wrigley offered free chewing can.

CHEWING GUM (continued): • Frank Fleer is credited with the invention of bubble gum in 1906, calling his formulation Blibber-Blubber. But his recipe never made it to market because it fell apart, was hard to chew and was too sticky. Fleer’s company didn’t give up its experiments, however, and in 1928, 23-year-old Walter Diemer, one of Fleer’s cost accountants with no chemical experience, perfected the process and named his creation Dubble-Bubble. As he worked on the mixture, the only food coloring on hand in the lab was pink, and bubble gum’s characteristic color was the result. Sad to say, Diemer didn’t patent his invention because he was afraid of revealing its secret, and it wasn’t long before the competition got into the act, most notably Bazooka. • The Topps Company began manufacturing Bazooka bubble gum shortly after World War II. They started adding comic strips featuring an eye patch-wearing Bazooka Joe to each piece in 1953. In the 1930s, a comedian named Bob Burns invented a tubular musical instrument using two pipes and a funnel. Burns called the contraption a bazooka, based on the sound it created. Bazooka Joe took his name from Burn’s invention, and stranger still, so did the rocket launcher known by the same name!

• On June 15, 1877, Henry Ossian Flipper, born a slave in Thomasville, Ga., in 1856, is the first black cadet to graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Flipper was appointed a second lieutenant in the all-black 10th Cavalry at Fort Sill in the Indian Territory. • On June 19, 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrives in New York Harbor as a symbol of Franco-American friendship. Nine years late in arriving, the 300-foot statue was a gift from the people of France as a celebration of the Declaration of Independence centenary in 1876. • On June 18, 1923, the first Checker Cab rolls off the line at the Checker Cab Manufacturing Company in Kalamazoo, Mich. The company then employed some 700 people. The last Checker Cab rolled off the line in Kalamazoo in 1982. • On June 20, 1941, after a long and bitter struggle on the part of Henry Ford against cooperation with organized labor unions, Ford Motor Company signs its first contract with the United Automobile Workers of America and Congress of Industrial Organizations (UAW-CIO). • On June 16, 1965, Bob Dylan records “Like a Rolling Stone.” The sales staff at Columbia Records did not like the song due to its length, 6 minutes 34 seconds. Two radio DJs heard a bootlegged song and demanded copies. Sales got its last dig in by chopping “Like a Rolling Stone” in half and putting it on separate sides of 45s, but a re-spliced full version was what radio stations played. ¥ On June 17, 1972, five men are arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. Senate investigations eventually revealed that President Richard Nixon had been personally involved

in the subsequent cover-up of the break-in.

CHEWING GUM (continued): • Although the Doublemint twins weren’t seen on television until 1960, the twins ad campaign began in 1939, and is one of the longest-enduring campaigns ever developed. Early Wrigley radio ads included double piano players and double violin players, which were followed by billboards featuring twins scattered across the American countryside. Indiana twins Jayne and Joan Boyd were the first on television, playing tennis and riding bicycle, as they urged gumchewers to “Double your pleasure, double your fun.” • If you’re a child of the 1960s, you may recall the hobby of making gum wrapper chains. Gary Duschl of Virginia Beach started folding wrappers in 1965, and his project now spans 62,000 feet, with nearly 1.5 million wrappers. That’s the height of about 40 Empire State Buildings! Gary only uses Wrigley brands and estimates his chain represents close to $96,000 worth of their products. • About half of the U.S. population chews gum, with average annual consumption of about 180 sticks per person. In the United Kingdom, that figure is 125, while Russians chew about 50. The average resident of China consumes only 20 sticks per year, and those in India, only four. • The machine used today by the Wrigley company to wrap pieces of gum is made up of more than 6,000 parts. • It requires about 53 square miles of farmland (that’s about 30,550 football fields) to grow the mint Wrigley uses to flavor its mint gums. • Although there are more than 1,000 varieties of gum sold in the U.S., it’s not the country with the most manufacturers. That distinction belongs to Turkey that boasts more than 60 different companies.

TIDBITS AND MUSIC:

Looking for quality entertainment?

NEIL DIAMOND

Singer, songwriter, actor and expert fencer – all these labels fit the well-known performer Neil Diamond. Follow along as Tidbits looks at the life of this music legend. • Descended from Polish and Russian immigrants, Neil Diamond was born in Brooklyn in 1941. While attending Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, he was a member of the school choir, along with his classmate Barbra Streisand. The two were not acquaintances at that time, but in 1978, more than 20 years later, they teamed up for a blockbuster duet, “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers.”

Cedar Rapids 1st and only Micro Brewery since Prohibition. We Offer these fine selections along with various seasonal beers. • Bees Knees Honey Ale • Red Rocket Amber Ale • Flying aces Pale Ale • Golden Hawk Wheat • Black Cobra Oatmeal Stout

• Diamond first became interested in music when he was given a $9 acoustic guitar for his birthday, and at age 15, composed his first song, “Hear Them Bells.” He and buddy Jack Packer formed a singing duo, appropriately named Neil & Jack, and did some gigs at Long Island’s Little Neck Country Club. They even recorded a single for Shell Records. But their association was short-lived when their song didn’t sell.

• An accomplished fencer during high school, Diamond received a fencing scholarship to attend New York University. At NYU, he studied pre-med with the dream of becoming a laboratory biologist and finding a cure for cancer. But a job offer with a $50-a-week salary from a music publishing company that came during his senior year led him to abandon those plans.

• In 1965, Diamond hit the Billboard Chart for the first time, not as a singer, but as a songwriter. “Sunday and Me” was performed by Jay & the Americans and made the Top 20. Diamond also composed four songs that contributed to the success of the Monkees, including “I’m a Believer,” popular music’s Song of the Year in 1966.

• Success as a singer came along in 1966 with “Solitary Man.” When the time came to consider using a stage name, the options of Noah Kaminsky and Eice Chary were presented. After mulling it over, Diamond opted to use his own name, in honor of his grandmother who had recently died of cancer. • A tumor on his spine was discovered in 1979, and its surgical removal resulted in Diamond being confined to a wheelchair for three months, followed by a walker and a cane. Chronic back pain has plagued him to this day. •

Diamond’s acting debut was 1980’s “The Jazz Singer,” a remake of an old Al Jolson film. The movie’s music, including “Love on the Rocks,” “Hello Again” and “America,” was highly acclaimed, but his acting ability was slammed. Diamond had the disappointing honor of being the first recipient of the Worst Actor Razzie Award, and has never acted in a movie role since, although he has written several music soundtrack scores, including those for “Pulp Fiction” and “Donnie Brasco.” Diamond’s compositions for the soundtrack of the 1973 movie “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” actually grossed more than the movie did.

• Although Diamond composed “Sweet Caroline” in 1969, it wasn’t until 2007 that he revealed that he had written it for Caroline Kennedy. Written in just one hour, he was inspired by a photo of her on the cover of Life magazine, dressed in equestrian riding garb. • If you’ve seen the 1991 film “What About Bob?,” you’ve heard Bill Murray utter profoundly, “There are two types of people in the world: those who like Neil Diamond and those who don’t.” Apparently, many do, as Diamond has sold over 92 million records,

A few years ago, seniors began receiving invitations in the mail to attend a free lunch at a nice location and hear about investment information. Experts would be in attendance to answer any questions. It wasn’t all on the level, however. The Securities and Exchange Commission got involved when it turned out that seniors were facing high-pressure sales tactics -- being pushed to sign documents they didn’t understand and being forced into investments that really didn’t exist. The SEC issued a report after doing a study that showed just how widespread the problem was. Things have changed. The newest incarnation of the “free lunch” scam is a bit more dangerous, as shown in an updated version of the study. Here’s how it works: You still get the same invitation in the mail.

This week, Tidbits THE looks at the history of this form of entertainment. • Camden, New Jersey, was home to the first drive-in theater in the U.S. It was the brainstorm of Richard Hollingshead, whose family owned a local chemical plant. Hollingshead experimented with the idea in his backyard, beginning with a sheet nailed to trees and a 1928 Kodak projector Serving fine food family style attached to the hood of his car. He positioned a for over 75 years! radio behind the sheet and began tests for sound, car angle and weather conditions. • Hollingshead obtained U.S. Patent 1,909,537 for his idea, and with a $30,000 investment, opened his drive-in on Camden’s Crescent Boulevard on June 6, 1933. His sound system, which he Open seven days a week, called “Directional Sound,” consisted of three main speakers mounted next to the screen. 7:00 a.m. till 8:00 p.m. Admission price was 25¢ for the car and 25¢ for each person ($4 maximum per carload) to see Banquets • Meetings • Special Occasions the feature comedy “Wives Beware.” He used 20 Minutes From Cedar Rapids and Iowa City the advertising slogan, “The whole family is Q: Why won't sharks attack lawyers? welcome, regardless of how noisy the children A: Professional courtesy. are.” • Although Hollingshead’s drive-in only operated for three years, he paved the way for the spread of a new industry. Within eight years, 27 states General contractor had drive-in theaters, and 15 years after the first For all phases of construction. one, there were more than 800 across America.

They added playgrounds! Some innovative owners offered miniature golf, pony rides and even fireworks. • Some of the most popular names for the drivein were the Starlite, the Moonlite, Sunset, SkyVue, Star-Vue and Motor-Vue. Two theaters set records for the number of cars that could be accommodated, one in Detroit, Michigan, and one in Lufkin, Texas, which could each park 3,000 cars. • With the introduction of color televisions in the 1960s, the popularity of drive-ins began to decline. Daylight Savings Time robbed viewers of an hour of viewing time. Weather conditions often had a negative effect on business. Because drive-ins were usually located on large tracts of land on the outskirts of town, as commercial development moved outward, owners found that Climate controlled and their property was worth more to shopping mall traditional self-storage unitsand subdivision developers.

• One of the most highly praised actresses of our time, Meryl Streep, holds the record for Academy Award nominations; she’s been awarded the Oscar twice, but has been nominated an impressive 16 times.

• It’s just common sense that people tend to behave better when they’re being watched, but it may come as a surprise that it doesn’t seem to matter whether or not the watcher is real. Researchers made this discovery in an experiment conducted at the University of Newcastle in Australia. In a coffee lounge where paying for the beverage was optional, a picture of a pair of eyes was placed next to the price list some times, and at other times a picture of flowers accompanied the list. On days when the eyes were posted, more than three times as much money was donated than on days when the flowers were in the same spot. • People magazine reportedly paid $6 million for photos of Jennifer Lopez’s twin babies, Emme and Max. • Between 1960 and 2006, the average American’s production of solid waste -- including everything from paper packaging to lawn clippings -- increased by 150 percent to 4.5 pounds every day.
