The benefits of
Omega-3 fatty acids are well established as a
food supplement.
Some conditions
which may be improved with consistent use of
these oils include:
? high cholesterol
levels
? prevention of
strokes and
heart attacks
? angina
? psoriasis and
eczema
? rheumatoid
arthritis
FLAX SEED OIL is
nature’s richest source of Omega-3 oils.
Though the taste is unique and the oil is not to
be heated the benefits are worth your developing
a taste.

ART NOTES from Hyde House
by Sally Armstrong,
Director of artCentral
We are mid-way
through our first show of 2008, and I hope folks
will continue to visit this exhibition of
interesting photography by Linda Teeter of
Joplin. Five pieces have been sold from this
show, and I thank those who have chosen those
pieces and encouraged the artist by buying a
piece of her "self". We had a great
response from our guests that evening at the
artist verbally describing her art to the crowd,
and some felt this was an excellent way for
future artists to reach the viewers in a more
personal way, so we may explore monologue in
future exhibitions. This show continues through
the 24th. I want to thank those who have already
responded to our membership campaign by sending
in their responses and membership fee. One area
of membership is use of our nice art library. I
took the time last week to clear the shelves of
the library and catalog all the books, adding a
number of new donations and arranging them back
on the shelves in order of subject. We currently
have over 225 volumes ranging from watercolor and
oil painting instruction, ceramics, silk
painting, quilting, and photography. We have
various art histories and collections and a
particular group of nice volumes on
Impressionism. There is also a nice group of art
periodicals and reference books, including
multiple issues of ARTIST’S MAGAZINE which
has instructional step-by-step artist procedures
pictured in each issue. I hope that people will
begin browsing through this library, and remember
us as you run across un- used art or artist books
in your own library as we always appreciate
donations. I will begin next week telling you
about our next show that is scheduled with three
of our member artists! Come and see us!

Cruisin’
By Greg Zyla
Chrysler Hemi
Q: Greg, a 1956
Chrysler Windsor 331 cubic-inch is a wedge
engine, not a Hemi (as mentioned in a previous
column). The 1956 New Yorker, 300 and Imperial
had a 354 cubic-inch Hemi. -- Dennis C. Spokane,
Wash.
A: Dennis, you are
correct. The 331 V-8 in the ‘56 Windsor was
not a true Hemi, but a "poly" V-8 that
used the same Hemi block but different,
wedge-style heads.
Hemi engines came
in many different varieties and sizes, beginning
with the first hemispherical-shaped combustion
chamber design in the 1951. The early Hemis came
in 301, 331, 354 and 392 cubic-inch sizes and
shared nothing with the 426 that came out in
1965, except for spark-plug location and basic
valve-train arrangement.
As for Hemi
engines, there were many smaller versions built
by Chrysler Corp. companies. DeSoto released its
version of the Hemi in 1952 at just 276 inches
with 160 horsepower, and later bored it to 291
inches putting out 200 horsepower.
Over at Dodge, its
1952 and 1953 Hemi (I had one) sized in at 241
cubic inches and put out 140 horsepower. It was
then bored to a 270-inch Hemi putting out 193
horses. Dodge grew its Hemi to 315 inches and
then 325 before offering the Chrysler-built 354
as an option. The final year for the
first-generation Hemi was 1959, when the 392
powered the Imperial.
So, to make a long
answer short, there were many Hemi engines out
there, and I love talking about them. I also want
to thank Chuck Taylor out in California (e-mail
him at hemiengineparts@sbcglobal.net) for his
expert help, as he’s a Hemi pro. Readers who
need Hemi parts or information can contact him at

Woestman on
Odor Complaints.
Carthage Mayor Jim
Woestman commented this week on the continuing
discussions in Jefferson City about odor emission
regulations. Woestman said he had been invited to
attend two recent events. Those events included
Senator Gary Nodler’s presentation of a bill
that would increase penalties for persistent
industrial odor violators, which was made before
the Missouri Agriculture, Conservation, Parks and
Natural Resources Committee, and a meeting of the
Missouri Air Conservation Commission concerning a
proposal to lower the dilution rate of odor
detecting technology. That proposal was made
during a series of odor workgroup meetings, which
Mayor Woestman attended along with several other
concerned Carthage citizens.
Woestman said that
he had heard comments in Jefferson City pointing
out that the complaints stemming from Carthage
were all made by "the same people."
Woestman
encouraged those who report complaints of
excessive odor emissions to continue calling the
Department of Natural Resources.
"I would ask
the people who have been complaining to continue,
and also maybe call one more person to complain
as well, and double up on them," said
Woestman. "They’re getting more
complaints out of this little town than they do
out of the rest of the state – and
there’s a reason for that."
The phone number
for the Missouri Department of Natural Resources
is 417-891-4300.
