"And there, son, you have the story of your dad during World War II."
"Yes, Dad, but why did they need all the other soldiers?"

"Mr. Congressman," said an American major, "I always observe that those persons who have a great deal to say about being ready to shed their last drop of blood, are amazingly particular about the first drop."

INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.

Changes in Officers.

The war excitement, and the approaching state encampment in Carthage are giving the Sons of Veterans quite a boom. At their meeting last night several applications for membership were received. The resignation of James Hill as captain, on account of his absence with Company "A," was accepted and First Lieut. Joseph Milnes was promoted to fill the vacancy. Second Lieut. O. P. Grissom was promoted to first and W. A. Wilkins elected second.

An Interesting Relic.

J. W. McKee, a veteran of U. S. Army and 31st Ohio Veteran Battery, tramped into town today from his home in Cedar county. He is hunting work as a blacksmith. He has in his possession a relic of the Revolution. It is a belt plate of brass, bearing date 1776, with a palmetto tree embossed thereon; also two shields on which are inscribed the words "While we live there is hope," and "With bravery sufficient we are endowed."

Maple Leaf Kickoff at
artCentral was a Success!

By Lee Sours, artCentral

The Maple Leaf Kickoff held last weekend was a great help in raising funds for continuing the operation of artCentral. The proceeds will go toward operating expenses for the three gallery spaces, the stone carving workshop, and the artCamp for kids ages 8-14. Thanks to Shellie’s fine selection of wines, we had pleasant taste sampling and conversations.

Then things got rough when the silent auction competition heated up. A major bidding war ensued for Bill Snow’s alabaster sculpture and then for Jack Sours’s hand carved pottery storage jar. Fortunately no bouncers were needed. The pastel paintings of Julie Mayser and M.E. Pitts as well as the music provided by Mary Anne Andrews and Keith Garber made a lovely atmosphere for the event. The pastel exhibit ends today.

The next opening will be Friday, Oct.24. We will have an architectural show with various artists’ renderings of structures within 75 miles of Carthage! So plan on coming to this exhibit and seeing how many spots you can identify. We also will be showing the pottery of Jim Reed. This Kansas artist has pottery, sculpture and ceramic tiles. His work is richly decorated with organic drawings and carvings.

At Shellie’s restaurant, a new exhibit will feature the watercolors of Marilyn York. She has done some fabulous landscapes including some southwestern scenes.

A big thanks to all those who donated their time, hard work, auction items and money for the Maple Leaf Kickoff !

HOURS: Tue. – Fri. 11 - 5

Maple Leaf celebration...just love this time of year and all the festivities. If you are just visiting...welcome.

What is....

DMAE- DMAE is a natural substance that is found in minute quanities in the brain. It is a precursor to choline, a B-vitamin your brain needs to produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in nerve signal transmission and healthy brain function. Through this metabolic pathway, DMAE may support learning and memory functions, which decline as we age. DMAE is also an effective free radical scavenger that may help combat the effects of oxidative damage, which are implicated in the aging process.

CARNOSINE- L-Carnosine is actually a combination of two amino acids, alanine and histidine. This naturally -occurring substance has multiple functions in the body, the most remarkable of which is its ability to rejuvenate cells. L-Carnosine is also a potent antioxicant that is able to protect proteins from breaking down. Research shows that destructive changes to proteins contribute to signs of aging such as wrinkled skin and decreased cognitive function. Which means Carnosine may help to maintain youthful vigor and appearance.
