Dad: With a bill?
Son: No. His nose is just like yours.
Mal: Why couldn’t the bicycle
stand up?
Sal: Because it was two-tired.

INTERESTING MELANGE.

Events as they have Transpired in the City and County
since our last Issue.
YOUNG
PEOPLE’S SOCIETIES.
Charade Contest at
the Christian Church Last Night.
The Christian Endeavor societies of the
Congregational and Christian churches met in the latter
church last night and enjoyed a social gathering which
was enlivened by a charade contest.
Each society presented six charades,
and judges were chosen to decide upon the merits. These
judges were Miss Esther Pratt, Miss Mary Denny, and Mrs.
J. H. Dryden. The decision was in favor of the
Congregational church.
Aside from the charades, there were a
number of very entertaining specialties, among which were
a song sung backwards by several members of the
Congregational society, a recitation of Rev. Toomay, a
recitation by Miss Lottie Putnam and Miss Ida Beatty.
Light refreshments were served. There were about
seventy-five present.

Art Exhibit
Opens Tonight.
By Lee Sours, artCentral
Tonight will be the opening for
the works of Verneil Roper and Mary Ellen Pitts.
This event is free and open to the public. The
door will be open and hors d’oeuvres will be
served from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Verneil Roper’s works are
primarily watercolor paintings of still lifes,
florals, and architectural subjects. She is a
Sarcoxie artist who has moved relatively recently
from Texas.
Mary Ellen Pitts of Neosho is a
pastel artist. She studied commercial art at
Southern Methodist University and worked as a
commercial artist. She is a signature member of
the Pastel Society of America and the Ozark
Pastel Society. Ms. Pitts prefers to paint
landscapes.
This week has been a fun week
at artCentral. We were visited by a weaver,
potters and a guitar player. Also putting up a
new show is always exciting.
This year will finish out with
a group exhibit by the Ozark Artists Colony. The
year 2003 is quickly filling up. The Main Gallery
is booked and the Members Gallery is beginning to
fill up also. This Sunday I have a wedding to
attend so the gallery will be open from 2pm to
5pm instead of the usual noon to 5pm. Be sure to
stop in and see this new exhibit which will
continue through November 15.

Just Jake
Talkin'
Mornin',
I’ve
never quite understood the national
significance of Columbus Day. I suppose
makin’ a national holiday
celebratin’ an accidental discovery of
an island pretty close to what is now the
United States was a pretty big deal at the
time, but in the scheme of things, it was
just a matter of time.
Now if they wanted to
celebrate the adventuresome nature of those
who set out to discover or the inventive
nature of the technology that led to the
discovery, that would prob’ly make more
sense.
I suppose that Columbus is
a handy reference to the
"discovery" of the new world, of
which we are a significant part, but renaming
the holiday would make more sense.
Suggestions; "Don’t Ask Directions
Day," "Take a Wrong Turn Day,"
"Take a Short Cut Day," all
positive lessons taught by Columbus.
This is some fact, but
mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

Weekly Column
Natural
Nutrition
By Mari An Willis
We have discussed the usage of
fats before, but let me reiterate that there are
good fats and bad fats and you cannot maintain
good health if you eliminate the good fats.
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids function as
necessary building blocks for the entire body.
The also produce an important class of hormones
called prostaglandins. These help regulate
cholesterol levels, energy production, and a
healthy immune system. According to Dr. Michael
Murphy, one can deplete theses essentials just by
living in the environment of today. They are
depleted by the use of caffeine, drugs
(prescription), alcohol, stress, etc. He even
makes the statement that with continued use of
flax seed oil, one will eventually lose all
unnecessary weight.
Some sources of the EFA’s
are flax seed oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil,
pumpkin oil, borage oil and evening primrose oil.
Flax seed is extremely high in Omega-3
(alpha-linolenic acid). The usage of flaxseed oil
will eventually take care of most any dry skin
condition and is very beneficial for the immune
system and tissue inflammation. Sunflower is high
in Omega-6 (linoleic acid) and is also rich in
Vit E. It has been shown to be beneficial in
circulatory problems. Pumpkin seed is
historically used by both males and females for
maintaining sexual health. Borage oil is also
effective with skin conditions, allergies and
PMS.
Do not cook with these oils.
They are nutritionally more beneficial in the
cold pressed form either taken encapsulated or in
dressings: or for those who just "want to
get it over with" straight from the spoon is
not all that bad. Try a blend on a baked potato
or cole slaw. The recommended dosage as stated by
Mark Swanson, N. D. is six months to two years
... 1/2 teaspoon:
2 yrs. to 5 yrs. 1 tsp.
5 yrs. to 12 yrs. 1 - 2 tsps.
13 yrs. and up 3 - 4 tsps.
Pregnant, lactating mothers 3 -
6 tsp.
