TIDBITS® INVESTIGATES

CHEWING GUM!by Kathy Wolfe

From blowing bubbles to freshening your breath to relieving stress – folks chew gum for a variety of reasons. This week, Tidbits looks at its inter-esting origins and commercial success.

•Gum-chewing has been around since thecaveman days, when these prehistorics chewed onlumpsoftreeresin.AncientGreekscheweda resin from the Mastic tree, known as mastiche, while the Mayans of Central America chomped on chicle, a natural gum from the Sapodilla tree. The American Indians cut up the bark of spruce trees to obtain the sap they chewed. They shared this with early European settlers, who added beeswax to make the concoction easier to chew.

• John Curtis was probably the first to sellchewing gum commercially. In 1848, he cooked up spruce tree resin on his Franklin stove, called it State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum,andsoldtwopiecesforapenny.

• An Ohio dentist came up with an idea toexercise the jaws and stimulate the gums of his patients, and in 1869, William Semple receivedthefirstpatentforchewinggum.Henever marketed his product (made mostly of rubber) commercially.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

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 NewYork’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 ofchicleshippedtoNewYork,withtheintentof combining it with rubber to make cheaper tires and rainboots. When all the vulcanization experiments failed, Adams came up with a plan tomanufacture chewing gum.He received apatent for a gum-making machine in 1871 and began producing unflavored chicle gum. HethenaddedsarsaparillaflavoringandcalleditAdamsNewYorkNo.1.Hisnextadditivewaslicorice flavoring, and a long-time favorite,Black Jack, came into being, remaining inregular production from 1884 until the 1970s.

• Chiclegumwasagood replacement for thespruce and paraffin-based gums becauseit was smoother, softer and held its flavor.Over the years, chicle has been replaced bynewer 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, flavoringsand 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 substituted is dusted on sugar-free gums.

• The first gum to be sold from a vendingmachinewasoneofThomasAdams’brands,Tutti-Fruitti. The machines were installed in NewYorkCitysubwaystationsin1888.



CHEWING GUM (continued):• FrankFleer is creditedwith 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 companydidn’t give up its experiments, however, andin 1928, 23-year-old Walter Diemer, one of Fleer’s cost accountants with no chemicalexperience, perfected the process and named his creation Dubble-Bubble. As he worked on the mixture, the only food coloring on hand in the labwas pink, and bubble gum’scharacteristic color was the result. Sad to say, Diemerdidn’tpatenthisinventionbecausehewasafraidofrevealingitssecret,anditwasn’tlong before the competition got into the act, most notably Bazooka.

• The Topps Company beganmanufacturingBazooka bubble gum shortly after World War II. They started adding comic strips featuring an eye patch-wearing Bazooka Joe to eachpiece 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 tookhisnamefromBurn’sinvention,andstrangerstill,sodidthe rocket launcher known by the same name!

In 1923, the Fleer company began adding trading cards with their products. These included athletes such as Babe Ruth, but also stars of the screen Gloria Swanson and Mary Pickford. In later years, the Topps Company had contracts with nearly all the major league baseball players for their trading cards and even sponsored bubble gum-blowing contests among the players.

Do you know the difference between a train and a teacher? The teacher says, “Spit out your gum,” but the train says, “Chew! Chew!”

In the late 1800s, an Ohio physician developed a gum he felt would aid digestion. He used chicle and an enzyme that breaks down proteins, pepsin. Dr. Edward Beeman named his product after himself, and Beeman’s gum was produced until 1978.

From Dreary To DazzlingBy Tresa Erickson

Temperatures drop, skies turn gray, snow falls, and suddenly, the world out-side your window is devoid of color. Ev-erything is covered in white, and while lovely, the snow will eventually melt, leaving your lawn and garden in a dull state. Fortunately, there are ways you can infuse it with color, even during the wintertime.

Although most plants are dormant in the winter, there are some that continue to grow and thrive. Holly is an excellent example and comes in several variet-ies, many of which feature red, orange, yellow, black, white or cream-colored berries. Evergreens are another option. These come in many shapes, sizes and colors ranging from green to blue with all shades in-between. Garden climbers, like weeping winter jasmine, clematis and winter honeysuckle, will also add a myriad of colors to your lawn and gar-den.

Even plants that go dormant can pro-vide color in your garden in the winter. Ornamental grasses will stop growing in the winter, but their dried plumes will remain, as will the flower heads on many shrubs. Although they won’t have any leaves, birch trees and paperback maples will continue to provide color through their peeling bark.

You can create further color in your lawn and garden with accessories and

furniture. A deep red bench will add an instant pop of color to a dreary land-scape. Throw in some bronze urns and copper-colored lanterns, and you will re-ally liven up the space.

To direct the eye to the more colorful areas of your lawn and garden, lighting is a must. You will find a number of ex-terior lighting options, which you may use to highlight whatever areas you de-sire.

With some diligent research and care-

ful planning, you can in-fuse your gar-den with col-or long into the winter months. Vis-it your local nursery or garden center and find out what plants suitable to your area will continue to bloom into winter or provide some color when the days get gray.

“Al’s Way”, The Walking Path

Al’s Way was named after the Glenrock High School coach, Al Finch. Al’s Way is the old Chicago North Western Railroad Right of Way. It was purchased by the town in November 1990 and constructed in September 1994 with many added improvements since then. Some of the features of Al’s Way are a centennial bench and a petrified wood arrangement donated by the Honadel family. The trestle was built in 1911 by the American Bridge Company of New York. There are numerous newly planted and established trees along the 2.5 miles of pathway. Al’s Way has undergone several changes this year. There have been the addition of lights along the pathway, the addition of a drip watering system to care for the trees, new benches and the addition of the geological monument donated by the

Honadel family. This wonderous arrangement of petrified wood is an amazing work of nature. The Town of Glenrock, along with it’s community members, continually work to enhance the parks system. For the summer of 2006, Al’s Way received another facelift in the addition of twenty-eight new trees: nine Patmore Ash, nine American Autumn Purple Ash and ten Spring Snow Flowering Crab. The Glenrock Public Works Department laid out the holes for the trees, dug the trenches for the drip watering system and had the topsoil waiting next to each tree site for the volunteers. Then they brought the trees to the site from storage. The cooperative efforts of the volunteers and the Public Works Department made quick work out of the tree planting. They were able to actually plant the trees in less than two hours, not counting the preparation time.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation awarded a Transportation Enhancement Activities - Local Program Grant (TEAL) to the Town of Glenrock for an extension of the pathway from the trestle running parallel along Deer Creek through the Glenrock Town Park in 2005. It will be an instructional pathway displaying plaques depicting the water crossings of the historical trails and of the beginnings

Welcome to Glenrock WyomingA town that works together for the betterment of their community

of the town when it was named Mercedes. There will also be plaques identifying the local flora and fauna. The pathway has been completed except for the placement of a few more plaques. Lighting has been installed and there are several benches placed along the pathway.




DRIVE-IN THEATERSJune6marksthe77thanniversaryoftheopeningofAmerica’s first drive-in theater. This week,Tidbits looks at the history of this form of enter-tainment. • Camden,New Jersey,was home to the firstdrive-intheaterintheU.S.Itwasthebrainstormof Richard Hollingshead, whose familyowned a local chemical plant. Hollingsheadexperimented with the idea in his backyard, beginning with a sheet nailed to trees and a 1928 Kodak projector attached to the hoodof his car. He positioned a radio behind thesheet and began tests for sound, car angle and weather conditions.

•HollingsheadobtainedU.S.Patent1,909,537for his idea, and with a $30,000 investment, opened his drive-in on Camden’s CrescentBoulevard on June 6, 1933. His soundsystem, which he called “Directional Sound,” consisted of three main speakers mounted next to the screen. Admission price was 25¢ for the car and 25¢ for each person ($4 maximum per carload) to see the feature comedy “Wives Beware.”Heusedtheadvertisingslogan,“Thewhole family is welcome, regardless of how noisy the children are.”

•AlthoughHollingshead’sdrive-inonlyoperatedfor three years, he paved the way for the spread of a new industry. Within eight years, 27 states had drive-in theaters, and 15 years after thefirst one, thereweremore than 800across America. By their peak in the 1960s, that number was close to 4,000. Improved sound techniques brought poles to the lot with individual speakers for patrons to hang on their car windows. These were later replaced with a broadcast system that used a vehicle’s radio,eliminating damage to speakers and poles caused by cars. 100 Boxelder Road • Glenrock • 307-436-2742

DRIVE-IN THEATERSJune6marksthe77thanniversaryoftheopeningofAmerica’s first drive-in theater. This week,Tidbits looks at the history of this form of enter-tainment. • Camden,New Jersey,was home to the firstdrive-intheaterintheU.S.Itwasthebrainstormof Richard Hollingshead, whose familyowned a local chemical plant. Hollingsheadexperimented with the idea in his backyard, beginning with a sheet nailed to trees and a 1928 Kodak projector attached to the hoodof his car. He positioned a radio behind thesheet and began tests for sound, car angle and weather conditions.

•HollingsheadobtainedU.S.Patent1,909,537for his idea, and with a $30,000 investment, opened his drive-in on Camden’s CrescentBoulevard on June 6, 1933. His soundsystem, which he called “Directional Sound,” consisted of three main speakers mounted next to the screen. Admission price was 25¢ for the car and 25¢ for each person ($4 maximum per carload) to see the feature comedy “Wives Beware.”Heusedtheadvertisingslogan,“Thewhole family is welcome, regardless of how noisy the children are.”

•AlthoughHollingshead’sdrive-inonlyoperatedfor three years, he paved the way for the spread of a new industry. Within eight years, 27 states had drive-in theaters, and 15 years after thefirst one, thereweremore than 800across America. By their peak in the 1960s, that number was close to 4,000. Improved sound techniques brought poles to the lot with individual speakers for patrons to hang on their car windows. These were later replaced with a broadcast system that used a vehicle’s radio,eliminating damage to speakers and poles caused by cars.
