• Later, Leo Burnett was commissioned to design a fresh new corporate logo. After experimenting with green painted men and a green rubberskinned puppet, Burnett settled on a new advertising mascot he named the Jolly Green Giant. Sales of the pea product became so successful that the the Valley Canning Company renamed themselves the Green Giant Company. Today the Jolly Green Giant is one of the most recognizable figures in American advertising.

• It was Burnett’s rejection of slick, big-city ads that convinced him to use model talent who looked like ordinary people instead of glitzy movie stars. This led him to use manly cowboys-types in Marlboro cigarette ads. At the time, filtered cigarettes were not considered masculine, and only ladies smoked them. The Marlboro market share was then only a paltry one percent. Burnett created the character image of a tanned and rugged cowboy, which exuded masculinity. Sales skyrocketed and soon it was the number one cigarette brand in the U.S. • Burnett's unique approach to advertising led to many other successes. If you’re familiar with Tony the Tiger, Charlie the Tuna, the Maytag Repairman, the Pillsbury Doughboy, or the Keebler Elves, or if you ever “Fly the Friendly Skies” with United or find yourself in “Good Hands with Allstate” – you can give the credit to Leo Burnett.

• In 1917 he moved to Detroit to work for the Cadillac corporation, where he edited their publications, worked in their marketing department, and became the head of advertising. He later went to work for an advertising agency in Indianapolis, where he learned the difference between the “hard sell” and the “soft sell,” and decided that it was best to use the “warm sell.” When the Great Depression began in 1930, the agency was hit hard. By then, Burnett had a wife and a family to support.

Food Facts

strawberries is Valentine’s Day; the biggest time for selling corn is the 4th of July; the most popular time for selling turkeys and cranberry sauce is Thanksgiving. So when are the most avocados sold? Super Bowl Sunday.

cattle per day. • Cows used to take four years to grow to their optimal weight, but through controlled genetics and dietary methods they now achieve that weight in just 14 to 17 months FRUITS & VEGGIES

• American farmers did not start growing broccoli until the 1920s, and major production didn’t start until after World War II. In Italy, it had been grown for centuries. Today Americans eat an average of about six pounds of broccoli annually. • Of the 3.6 billion tons of lettuce harvested in the U.S. each year, 70% is grown in Salinas, California, and 20% is grown in Yuma, Arizona. The remaining ten percent is spread among various other places. • Head lettuce keeps longer than leaf lettuce and ships better as well. It was once put on railroad cars and surrounded by heaps of ice to keep it fresh, leading to its name “iceberg lettuce.” Other lettuces didn’t become popular until shipping methods improved in the 1980s. Today, bagged and pre-shredded salads outsell head lettuce purchases.

DAIRY PRODUCTS

• The cheese product called Velveeta was given the name because of it’s velvety texture. It was invented as a method of using the whey that was being discarded during the production of cheese. Velveeta has a longer shelf life than natural cheese, and has one third fewer calories than cheddar. It’s a “pasteurized processed cheese product” so it doesn’t need to be refrigerated before being opened.

• Size does matter, at least in a supermarket. It's been shown that when we are in a small and crowded shop we usually stress out, buy faster, b and end up buying less.

If you purchased your solar system for $33,000 this year, then you would receive a tax credit of $9,900 to use for next year’s taxes or for a few years, depending on how much you pay in taxes. However, if you want until next year, your tax credit would drop to $8,580. That’s a difference of $1,320.

Yes – there’s really no reason to wait. A local reputable company like Renova will help you figure out if it’s a good fit for you and will save you enough money to make it compelling without any pressure. The process is pretty quick and it’s free, so it’s worth it to take a little bit of time to find out. And if you decide to move forward, there are lots of options to choose from as far as how you finance it. A lease, for example, is no money down, free installation and then fixed payments for 20 years. Renova Energy is an award-winning local company founded a decade ago that designs and installs commercial and residential solar and advanced battery systems. Solar consultants will answer all your questions and help you decide if solar is right for you - not pressure you into buying a system.

Donna Gardner of Allentown, Pa., went out to run some errands and decided to bring her 11-year-old chocolate Lab, Max, along for the ride. When she arrived back home, she collected her bags, locked up her car and went inside to tackle the demands of a busy household. About an hour later, Gardner began hearing the persistent sound of a honking car horn. She went outside to check but saw nothing out of the ordinary, so she resumed her business inside. The beeping, however, continued. When she eventually peered out the window to take another look, she saw Max sitting in the driver’s seat of her car. Everything Gardner did from that point on was exactly right: She cooled down an extremely overheated Max with wet rags, gave him some water and rushed him to the vet. The vet told local media that Max was weak upon arrival but should make a full recovery. Gardner, the vet and everyone else are calling the incident a miracle. And there’s no doubt Max is one lucky Lab. But we don’t have to rely on miracles, luck or exceptionally intuitive canines to prevent our dogs from starring in the more prevalent version of this story, which doesn’t wrap with a happy ending. With summer comes heat: Sidewalks can make a barefoot boy dance a jig. Drop an egg into a bowl of water that’s been sitting in the sun for hours, give it five minutes and -- voila! -- breakfast is served. Slipping into your car suddenly makes you feel sympathy for anything labeled “oven roasted.” All of these examples affect your dog. Hot sidewalks are hard on his paws. Scalding water is undrinkable. And even a couple of minutes in a hot car can be enough to induce heat stroke or death. Yes, that’s how lucky Max was. To avoid a precarious reliance on Lady Luck, make the following steadfast summer practices: Dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors Casey's Corner: Turn to page 10

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Filing for Social Security Benefits I get lots of questions about the mechanics of filing for Social Security benefits. Some of the questions seem very basic to me. But then I remind myself that even though I’ve been doing this stuff for 45 years, for most of my readers, filing for Social Security is an overwhelming and once-in-alifetime experience. Here are some questions from overwhelmed people.

I am turning 62 in November and plan to start my Social Security benefits then. When and how should I file? Friends have told me I need to start the process at least six months ahead of time because it takes the government that long to get things right.

I know people like to think of the federal government as this inefficient monster bureaucracy that can’t do anything right. But handling Social Security claims doesn’t fall into that category. In fact, the Social Security Administration processes most retirement claims in just one or two weeks. So you could even wait until November to file for your retirement benefits and everything would be OK. But it’s probably best to start the ball rolling two or three months ahead of time. I’d suggest going online at www.socialsecurity.gov sometime in September to file your retirement claim.

Both my wife and I turn 66 in August. I called SSA’s 800 number to set up an appointment to file for our benefits. But I was told the first available appointment at our local Social Security office isn’t until November. They offered us an earlier appointment at another Social Security office 50 miles away. We don’t want to drive that far. What should we do?

I guess it’s a sign of the times that your local Social Security office is booked up six months in advance. This is what happens when 10,000 new retirees are signing up for Social Security every day, and at the same time, the powers-that-be in Washington have enforced a 15% cut in SSA’s staff. However, I guess we all just have to deal with that. In your case, I’m a little puzzled why you didn’t take that appointment at the other Social Security office. Gosh, I know people who would drive 50 miles to go shopping or to eat at a restaurant. So why not take a one-hour drive for a once-in-alifetime event like signing up for Social Security benefits? Anyway, if you don’t want to drive, you could file online at www.socialsecurity.gov. However, since both you and your wife are turning 66 this year, I suppose there is a chance you might want to employ the soon-to-be-eliminated strategy called file and restrict. That means one of you would file for retirement benefits while the other files a spousal claim with plans to save his or her own retirement application until age 70 to get a 32% “delayed retirement” bonus. I’ve been told by many readers that the online claims process isn’t conducive to the file and restrict strategy. So if you want to file and restrict, I’d gas up the car and take that 50-mile drive.

the end of September, the rules say you are due a full retirement age benefit for the entire month. So you should say you want September to be the month you want your benefits to begin. (And that September payment will be sent to you in October.)

I signed up for Social Security when I was 62 years old. I got checks for about 18 months. Then I returned to work full time, so my benefits were stopped. I am about to turn 66 and the earnings penalties will no longer apply to me, so I need to file a new claim to start things up again. I tried doing it online, but it wouldn’t let me. What should I do?

I tried several times to get through to SSA at the 800 number. Both times, I was on hold for more than 30 minutes, and then I just hung up. I need to file for my Social Security. What should I do? See my prior answer about ever-in creasing workloads and ever-decreasing staff at SSA. All I can tell you is that patience is a virtue. To test the system, I tried calling SSA at 800-7721213 several times. Twice, I experienced the long wait times you did. But another time, I got through almost right away. So you can keep trying to call. Or go online at www.socialsecurity.gov.

Taking Antibiotics Before Dental Work DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a stent, but also a knee replacement, for which I take four 500-mg capsules of amoxicillin each time I go to the dentist, including just for cleaning. This is per my surgeon’s orders. Do you have any information that would question the necessity of this? -- M.W.

are not recommended prior to dental procedures to prevent prosthetic joint infection.” However, any given person may have underlying surgical or medical issues that may supersede these general recommendations. What remains important is maintaining good oral hygiene and promptly treating any dental infections. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a healthy 79-year-old who takes the blood thinner Xarelto for occasional atrial fibrillation. I hear it can be dangerous. I have had rectal bleeding in the past, which wasn’t serious but was scary. I can’t take aspirin, so when I accidently took it in an over-the-counter cold medication, I threw up blood. Should I be worried about being on Xarelto? -- E.H. ANSWER: Xarelto has the same or somewhat lower risk of bleeding than warfarin (Coumadin), but it cannot be reversed in an emergency. Aspirin significantly increases bleeding risk when added to Xarelto (or warfarin, or any of the other newer anticoagulants). Throwing up blood is potentially a medical emergency, and you should at least talk to, if not see, your doctor that same day. If you threw up more than just a little blood, you should be on your way to the emergency room. The decision to take anticoagulation to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation is based on your benefits weighed against your risks. Given a history of vomiting blood and rectal bleeding, I would have a long talk with your doctor before making a decision. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer

Where to Get Help Paying Your Medicare Costs DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: Are there any sources you know of that can help me save on my Medicare coverage? I am 65, living primarily on my Social Security, and am having a hard time paying my Medicare outof-pocket costs. -- Needs Some Help Dear Needs: There are several financial assistance programs that can help lower-income Medicare beneficiaries who are having a difficult time paying their out-of-pocket health care costs. Here’s what’s available, along with the eligibility requirements and how to apply: Medicare Savings Programs Let’s start with a program that helps pay premiums and out-of-pocket costs for Medicare Parts A and B. It’s called the Medicare Savings Program (MSP), and it has several different benefit levels for people based on their income and asset level. At its most generous the program will pay your Part A and B premiums and pretty much all your Medicare deductibles, coinsurance and copayments. At its least generous the program will pay just your Part B premium. ADVERTISING PROOF

But some states have made their MSP programs a lot more generous, with much higher income limits and in some cases no asset tests at all. And the program may be called something else in your state. To find out if you qualify or to apply, contact your state Medicaid program. Visit Medicare.gov/contacts or call all 800-633-4227 for contact information.

To help you find out what types of assistance programs you may be eligible for, and learn how to apply for them, go to BenefitsCheckUp.org. This is a free, confidential Web tool designed for people age 55 and older that contains more than 2,500 programs.

Depending on how low your income is, this program will pay part or all of your Part D prescription drug plan’s monthly premiums, annual deductibles and prescription copayments. In 2019, individuals with a yearly income below $18,735 ($25,365 for a married couple), and assets under $14,390 ($28,720 for a married couple) can qualify for Extra Help.

We aren’t sure how old it is, but do know it has been in the family for generations. I can remember holiday dinners at my grandmother’s, and she always placed it on the middle of the table. The tureen is decorated with multicolored flowers, garlands and trimmed in gold. It is in perfect condition. I plan to pass it along to my daughter and would like to know more about its histor y. Also, I’m thinking about having it insured and would like to know what its value is.

Antique Picture Reveals Clues to Victorian Era Q:

Enclosed you will find an antique picture of some relatives of mine, probably taken in Switzerland around 1870. This picture has been in my family for a long time and has been passed down from my great-grandmother. The last name of one of the persons in the picture is Zwingli. He is a descendant of Ulrich Zwingli, who was known as the “Martin Luther of Switzerland” in the 1500s. He was stoned to death for his beliefs. Since I’m not sure how old the picture is, I would like to know if it is possible to date a picture by the clothes the people wore. Is the picture of any value, other than sentimental? Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Tureen was made by Maddock’s Works in Trenton, New Jersey.

Maddock’s Works, located in Trenton, New Jersey, made your tureen. They were in business from 1893 to 1929. The mark you provided was used on their fine-quality semi-porcelain. Your tureen was made around 1900 and should be insured for $100 to $150. * * *

Address your questions to Anne McCollam, P. O. Box 247, Notre Dame, IN 46556. Items of a general interest will be answered in this column.

Antique pictures can be a view into a past era.

The clothes, hairstyles, beards and furniture are clues to the time the picture was made. Your estimate of the timeframe is accurate. Ulrich Zwingli was a scholar of Renaissance humanism and a leader of the Reformation in Switzerland in the 1500s. He and Martin Luther met at one time to discuss the issues they had with the Catholic Church. Zwingli was killed in the battle of Kappel in Switzerland in 1531. If you can document which person in the picture is a Zwingli descendant and your connection to him, it could make the picture more valuable. Victorian era pictures provide a good view of the times. The Bentwood style chairs and tables were typical of the 1870s to the 1900s. Your circa 1870 picture would probably be

The gross domestic product of the U.S. is $16 trillion, including all goods from shoes to cars. • People tend to get sick more often if they live in rural areas or urban “food deserts” where there are no grocery stores nearby.

Opening the clubface of a sand wedge or lob wedge can be a visually daunting challenge to many golfers when hitting pitch shots. The most common misunderstanding is that open equals right when it comes to shot direction. The loft of the club plays an important role in solving this short game puzzle. With a three iron (21-24 degrees of loft), the openness of the face will aim the leading edge to the right as well as the face itself. Because the loft is small the face angle and leading edge are similarly aligned. But when lob wedge (60 degrees of loft) is opened, the leading edge does aim right, but the face angle just points more skyward (or more lofted). Yes, there is a slight misalignment to the right, but the clubface is now a 70-80 degree tool more than anything. Trust that open equals high not right!
