The Marion Star from Marion, Ohio • 6

Page 6 The Marion Star. Monday. August 22. 1988 The Marion Star Historical society registers growth memhors that a grandfather clock with excellent chimes has been received by the society from the estate of the late Geneva Switzer and is in use at the Historical Center. The next program of the society, "The Wyandot Indians Past and Present," is scheduled for Aug.

31 at OSUM Morrill Hall and will be presented by Thelma Marsh, curator of the Old Indian Mission, Upper Sandusky, and noted researcher of the Wyandot Indians. The program starts at 7:30 p.m. and is open to the public by the association as a fund-raiser, and there is a great demand for them by collectors all over the U.S., Bard stated. Members discussed the possibility of compiling and publishing a biography of Edward Huber, as well as a list of all his inventions, and machinery built. It was also proposed to look into having a collection of postcards printed of Marion places of significance.

Among correspondence received was an inquiry about Leader Manufacturing and Marion Manufacturing companies, and inquiry about a family for genealogical research. A thank you note from Marion County Fair Board expressed appreciation for Pioneer Green activities. Members were updated on the planned Fall Fair by Helen Kaufman, chairperson of the event. Some planned activities have not been confirmed as yet, but most have been definitely scheduled, Kaufman stated. Great care has been given to have demonstrations, entertainment and displays in tune with the 'turn of the century' theme of the event.

The Fall Fair committee will meet again tonight. President Charlie Evers informed quick settlement, and things still look promising, it was stated. Several individuals have expressed a desire to help financially. A generous donation from Trella Romine, to be held in escrow, to be used for the acquisition of the building, was gratefully accepted by the board. A recent tour of the Claridon Prairie was a success, reported Romine." Despite the very hot and humid weather, many people came to view the prairie plants in bloom, with Romine and Kensel Clutter as tour guides.

One participant, a former student of Professor Larry Yoder, who promoted the prairie and established a prairie at The Ohio State University Marion, came all the way from Pennsylvania, president Charlie Evers stated. Due to a fire in the spring, the plants were not as big or thick as usual, yet growth should be vigorous by next year, Romine noted. Harry Bard, who is also a member of the Huber Association, stated that members of the association promote their organization as well as the Historical Society, as interest in Edward Huber and his machinery leads to interest in Marion, and many inquiries are directed to the society. Scale models of Huber machinery are sold Discussion focused on upcoming events as well as past achievements during the recent board of trustees meeting of Marion County Historical Society. Among yearly reports given was one on membership which has increased considerably.

It was noted that visibility of the society has been good through the year with much attention paid to Pioneer Green activities at the Marion County Fair; tour of the Claridon Prairie; programs dealing with the area's history, presented at OSUM Morrill Hall; support of the society to the Huber Memorial Association, which eventually became a separate body and self-sustaining; and efforts by the society to purchase the old Post Office building. Concerning the Post Office purchase, it was stated that Trella Romine had resigned from the committe dealing with the acquisition and John Hickson has replaced her. Negotiations still are going on, but 'wheels are turning slowly' and assistance from the County Commissioners has apparently been put on hold, due to their involvement in the landfill issue.

There was never an enter- "This is the fifth Dear Ann Landers: I have been hearing several late-night radio hosts say they believe Elvis Presley is alive. for one, am convinced that he is. I hope that through your column I can get people to respect his privacy. "The King" deserves to be left alone. It is perfectly reasonable, as one radio person pointed out, that Elvis got so fed up with people following him around and pestering him, and writing all those awful stories because he had put on a few pounds.

His worshipers have proven to be a phenomenal source of revenue. The people who surrounded Elvis during his life have increased his $4.9 million estate to something close to $50 million with no sign of slowing down. Much of what you have just read is from a new book by Malcolm Forbes.

It is a compelling collection of stories about how the rich and famous died, dutifully reporting their last words and the family fights that followed. I was up until the wee hours reading Forbes' book. Here's another vignette: Mata Hari put on her best dress and a straw hat with a veil before she was driven to the French military compound to be executed. The famous spy refused to be tied to a pole nor would she allow herself to be blindfolded. As the executors raised their rifles she winked at them and blew kisses.

He put up with a lot of nonsense because he didn't want to disappoint his worshipers. Now that the truth is leaking out, I hope people will let the man have a private life. He has earned the right to live like a normal citizen. Please put your weight behind this, Ann. You could be a great help.

True Blue Fan in Tennessee Dear True Blue: I hate to upset you, but there's some pretty convincing evidence that Elvis Presley died on Aug. 16, 1977. An autopsy snowed that although the cause of death was a heart attack, he had 10 different drugs in his blood, including codeine, morphine and Quaaludes. His funeral was one of the most spectacular displays of hero worship this country has ever seen. Within hours of his death thousands of people crowded around the gates of Graceland.

After Presley's body was prepared for viewing, more than 80,000 mourners filed by the casket to pay their last respects. Hundreds fainted, one man had a heart attack, a woman went into labor, and the National Guard was called out. The near-riot crowds were comparable only to those that stormed the chapel when Rudolph Valentino, star of the silent films, was laid to rest in the 1920s. The commercial value of this great entertainer, a decade after his Dear Ann Landers: The statement that had the greatest impact on me when I decided to shape up was this one: "Just because you had a lousy childhood is no excuse to be a lousy adult." You can overcome a bad beginning if you make up your mind to. I know this is true because I did it.

1 Cheney, Alabama. I Great-grandfather is Hillard Smith, Marion. Heloise the toy and sent it to them. This turned out to be a great way to show everyone that I really appreciated their thoughts and gifts. Kate Johnson, Durango, Colo.

What a nice personal touch. I'm sure your family and friends really appreciated the photo. Heloise POTLUCK DINNERS Dear Heloise: Love your hints! I have one that is very healthy. When I go to a potluck dinner, I always write the ingredients on an index card. This is helpful to people with food allergies and you don't have people always asking "What's in it?" SOUR CREAM Dear Heloise: What can I use as a substitute for sour cream? Any suggestions? Katrina Trumpo, Gunnison, Colo.

The following is a recipe to try. As with many on-the-spot substitutions, the texture and flavor is not the same as the real thing, but in a pinch will work: Combine 6 ounces of cottage cheese with 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Mix it in a food processor or in a blender until smooth. Heloise DEAR HELOISE: I recently had a baby, and was it ever hectic for a while! There seemed to be more things to do and less time to accomplish them. My first concern above care for the baby was sending out thank-you cards to family and friends who had sent gifts.

I decided to compile a list of the items that different families bought the baby. Then I got the camera out and took pictures of the baby with each gift. Many relatives sent clothes, so 1 would dress the baby in the items they sent and take a picture and send it to them. If the family sent a toy, then I took a picture of the baby with Also, making a few index cards with the recipe to put beside your dish is a nice way to share good food. Kelly Turnao, Clovis, N.M.

BATHROOM KEY Dear Heloise: In our home we have a bathroom door that has a lock and key. Since I have small children, I placed the key to the door on top of the outside of the door frame. A couple of times the kids have locked themselves in and I was able to easily open the door with the key. Sure helps us! A.T5., Columbus, Ohio.
