• At age 16, Bell had already accepted a teaching position at the Weston House Academy, teaching elocution and music. The family moved to Canada in 1870 when Bell was 23, and two years later, he moved to Boston to open a school for the deaf as well as privately tutor the hearing-impaired. One of his first students was Helen Keller.

• Bell spent his evenings working on a device that would transmit the human voice over wires. He hired a skilled electrician Thomas Watson, to help him. When the wealthy father of one of his deaf students heard of the experiments, he offered to support Bell’s work financially. After 2 years of laboring, in 1876, his assistant heard Bell’s voice through the wire from another room speak the famous sentence, “Mr. Watson, come here - I want to see you,” in what is considered the first telephone call. • At age 29, Bell was issued Patent No. 175,465, for “the method of, and apparatus for, transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically by causing electrical undulations, similar in form to the vibrations of the air accompanying the said vocal or other sound.” • The following year the Bell Telephone Company was created, and Alexander married the deaf daughter of his wealthy patron. Less than nine years later, 150,000 people in the U.S. owned telephones. • In 1915, Bell phoned Watson once again, this time for the first ceremonial transcontinental call. Bell called from New York City and Watson answered in San Francisco. • In addition to the telephone, Bell held 17 other patents, including hydrofoil boats, aerial vehicles, selenium cells, a metal jacket to assist in breathing, a device to locate icebergs, and the audiometer to detect minor hearing problems. He is also credited with the metal detector, an invention he came up with quickly in an attempt to locate a bullet in the body of President James Garfield after he had been shot by an assassin. • One hundred and nine years ago, this gifted man with a vision said in 1906, “The day will come when the person at the telephone will be able to see the distant one to whom he is speaking.” • Although he was a talented inventor throughout his life with many credits to his genius, Bell always referred to himself as “a teacher of the deaf.” When he passed away in 1922, the entire telephone system was shut down for one minute as a tribute of respect for the man. ‪

• In his younger years, Bell was educated at home, then attended private and public schools for three years. Even as a youngster, his curious mind was busy with thoughts of inventions. At age 12, while visiting a friend’s family’s grain mill, Bell observed the slow process of husking the wheat grain. Within days he had created a device that combined rotating paddles and sets of nail brushes that dehusked the wheat. He also came up with a talking doll that said, “Mama.”

• A native Scotsman born in Edinburgh in 1847, Alexander Graham Bell came from a line of teachers of diction and elocution. His grandfather was noted for his treatment of speech impediments as well as authoring books on the principles of correct speech. Bell’s father had developed “Visible Speech,” a method of teaching the deaf to talk by studying the anatomical position of the speaking organs while making different sounds. Bell’s mother was deaf; however, she was able to become a pianist, a skill she passed on to Alexander.

Dollars $and $en$e$ by David Uffington

By Samantha Weaver

● Though they seemingly have little in common, early 20th-century American politician William Jennings Bryan and 19th-century French author Honore de Balzac seemed to share a distrust of great wealth. Bryan observed, “No one can earn a million dollars honestly,” and Balzac, echoing that sentiment, stated, “Behind every great fortune there is a crime.” ● A single speck of blood contains around 5 million red blood cells. ● You might be surprised to learn that ebooks are not a recent phenomenon; back in 1971 a man named Michael S. Hart began to digitize printed works, typing them in by hand. His first project -- The Declaration of Independence. ● Woodrow Wilson is the only U.S. president who held a Ph.D. ● With a height of 321 feet, the Memphis Pyramid, completed in 1991, is the largest pyramid in the Americas, and the sixth-largest in the world.

● The Dalai Lama likes to repair watches as a way to relax. ● Before modern medical techniques became common, it was not unusual for people to be inadvertently buried alive. In 1819, the Doctor Regent of the Faculty of Medicine in Paris estimated that one-third to one-half of people who died in bed were, in fact, still alive when they were interred. This led to the invention of the “security coffin,” which was connected to a monitoring station by a long tube. If the presumed corpse did regain consciousness, food and drink could be transported through the tube while the coffin was exhumed. ● In ancient China, snail shells were used as currency. *** Thought for the Day: “Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.” -- Grenville Klieser

SENIOR NEWS LINE by Matilda Charles © King Features Synd., Inc.

Looking for Love Online? Beware If you’re considering whether you should look for someone to date by going online, be sure you know the signs of a scam. The Better Business Bureau has some suggestions which I recommend that you read and heed: ‪ Find out if the dating site does background checks. Most of them don’t. Anyone can sign up, and the dating site is more than happy to take their money. ‪ The minute your matched mate asks you for money, stop communicating immediately. It doesn’t matter what the reason ... never give so much as one cent. Beware if the person claims to be overseas, in the military or recently widowed. Many states have sex offenders databases. You would be wise to do a thorough check. ‪ Do a search online (use Google) to hunt for the person under the screen name and the “real” name. You can even put in snippets of text from your email communications to see if a pattern shows up. Put in the name and click “Images” to see if you spot familiar pictures. If you’re sent a photo, be aware that it might be fake. ‪ Beware suitors who are too quick to declare love or seem to want to rush into marriage. Take a close look at the person’s social-media page. Does it look real? Be diligent to check the dating site’s scam forums to see if you recognize any names or photos. ‪ Always take someone with you if you decide to meet, even if you feel you can trust the person. ‪ Be wary of those who want to communicate outside of the dating site. You need the protection of the site. Many sites monitor communications to watch for telltale patterns of scams.

Which Blood Pressure Reading Is Right? DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 70-year-old man with high blood pressure. I take a calciumchannel blocker and a diuretic to control it. I am concerned about systolic readings that can vary 10-12 points when I take my blood pressure five-10 minutes apart. A recent example: readings of 132, 143, 140 and 133, taken five to six minutes apart. My diastolic readings don’t vary more than a point or two in the mid-70s. Should I be concerned about these variations in systolic pressure? -- J.S. ANSWER: Having a patient who gets multiple values, thinks about what it means and cares enough to ask is a real pleasure for a physician. This degree in blood pressure variation is well within the expected norm. Your systolic pressure (the top number, and the peak blood pressure while the heart is expelling blood from the left ventricle into the aorta) is about 136, plus or minus seven points. Having multiple readings increases the precision of the measurement and allows your physician to make better decisions about the effectiveness of your treatment regimen. Your systolic number, however, is in the range of prehypertension, so your doctor will be keeping an eye on that. During the course of the day, systolic blood pressure readings can vary as much as 30 points. Even in the few minutes you took these, I often see variation as much or more than this. *** DEAR DR.

than about your dad’s happiness? Loneliness and lack of companionship can be major problems in the lives of widowed seniors. Being warm and cordial to his new partner may be one of the most thoughtful and unselfish things you and your siblings could ever do for your dad. Be patient and understanding. After all, this is his life you’re talking about and you need to let him work out his own decisions for his own best interests!

Dad Has Right to His Own Decisions

Tues., 12/9/14

Doug Mayberry makes the most of life in a Southern California retirement community. Contact him at deardoug@msn.com.

Our dad has always been our strong family leader. However, at age 73 and widowed, he doesn’t offer us any real answers when we ask about his future plans. He is financially secure and is dating, and we even suspect he may want to remarry. I have no problem with that possibility, but my brother and sister absolutely oppose it. What do you feel our position should be in the matter?

First of all, why are your siblings opposed to dad’s remarrying? In cases like this it is usually either about the money, personal inheritances, or simply choosing to dislike his new partner. Do you know if he and your mother set up a trust with a designated a power of attorney for health care, or TUES., MAR. 15 his signed any other binding documents?

King Edward Coronation Memorabilia Collectible Q:

I enjoy reading your column, and I wonder if you have any idea what several items in my collection are worth. This is a picture of one of the commemorative pieces that I have. My parents bought quite a number of “royal” souvenir items that were made to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VIII. My parents must have been quick off the mark because the commemorative items were withdrawn from sales almost immediately when it was announced he was going to abdicate. He gave up the crown to marr y the divorced American, Wallace Simpson. I believe my collection might be worth something to collectors and would like to know what your opinion is.

Enclosed is the mark that is on the bottom of a pink ironstone teapot that was my grandmother’s. It was a wedding gift that she received in 1946. She kept it in her china cabinet, and it is in perfect condition. I always admired it, and she wanted me to have it. Anything you can tell me about its histor y will be greatly appreciated.
