Some of this and Some of That about Pennsylvania Pennsylvania had three U.S. Capitols: Philadelphia, Lancaster on Sept. 27, 1777, and York from Sept. 30, 1777, until July of 1778. In 1800, the U.S. Capitol was in Washington, D.C.
On Sept. 30, 1908, PGER John K. Tener of the Charleroi Lodge umpired a spirited baseball game between a team from Greensburg Lodge No. 511 and the Boston Red Sox, led by Cy Young; the Elks won by 2 - 0.
Born in County Tyrone, Ireland, John Kinley Tener was Pennsylvania's only foreign-born governor, serving from 1911 until 1915. During the same period Tener was also the National League President.
The U.S. Army's oldest active unit, the famed 28th Division of Pennsylvania, was founded by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia in 1774.
On Sept. 1, 1752, the Liberty Bell arrived in Philadelphia from the Whitechapel foundry in England.
General George C. Marshall, a native of Uniontown, became the Army Chief-Of-Staff on Sept. 1, 1942, and on that day in 1928, the BSA placed road markers along U.S. Route 30 all across Pennsylvania.
At 12:01 AM on Oct. 1, 1940, the Pennsylvania Turnpike opened a 160 mile stretch from Carlisle to Irwin; with half a dozen of its tunnels and forty miles of road being built on the abandoned right-of-way of the South Pennsylvania Railroad.

A Long History of Tobacco
IN THE BEGINNING . . . Huron Indian myth has it that in ancient times, when the land was barren and the people were starving, the Great Spirit sent forth a woman to save humanity. As she traveled over the world, everywhere her right hand touched the soil, there grew potatoes. And everywhere her left hand touched the soil, there grew corn. And when the world was rich and fertile, she sat down and rested. When she arose, there grew tobacco . . .
TOBACCO TIMELINE - A Fascinating Journey
The sacred origin of tobacco and the first pipe......
  • c. 6000 BC: Experts believe the tobacco plant, as we know it today, begins growing in the Americas. c. 1 BC: Experts believe American inhabitants begin finding ways to use tobacco, including smoking ( via a number of variations ) and in enemas. 600-1000 AD: UAXACTUN, GUATEMALA. First pictorial record of smoking: A pottery vessel found here dates from before the 11th century. On it, a Maya is depicted smoking a roll of tobacco leaves tied with a string. The Mayan term for smoking was sik'ar.

The History of Tobacco Part III by Gene Borio Twentieth CenturyThe Rise of the Cigarette
1900-1950: Growing Pains
• 1900: US Supreme Court uphold's Tennessee's ban on cigarette sales. One Justice, repeating a popular notion of the day, says, "there are many [cigarettes] whose tobacco has been mixed with opium or some other drug, and whose wrapper has been saturated in a solution of arsenic.".
• 1901: ENGLAND: END OF AN AGE: QUEEN VICTORIA DIES. Edward VII, the tobacco-hating queen's son and successor, gathers friends together in a large drawing room at Buckingham Palace. He enters the room with a lit cigar in his hand and announces, "Gentlemen, you may smoke."
• 1902: Philip Morris sets up a corporation in New York to sell its British brands, including one named "Marlboro."
• 1902: USA: Sears, Roebuck and Co catalogue (page 441) sells "Sure Cure for the Tobacco Habit". Slogan "Tobacco to the Dogs". The product "will destroy the effects of nicotine". (LB)
• 1903-08: The August Harpers Weekly says, "A great many thoughtful and intelligent men who smoke don't know if it does them good or harm. They notice bad effects when they smoke too much. They know that having once acquired the habit, it bothers them . . . to have their allowance of tobacco cut off."

Last issue, I picked nine not-so-arbitrary television faces who passed on in 1998 but once again, readers rallied with their own suggestions, starting with Michael S. , who said... Okay, okay, maybe it was harder than I thought to figger out which one of your nine faces I didn't think belonged on the list, but how could you leave out everybody's favorite police chief of Hawaii Five-O Jack Lord
Book her, Dan-o. Michael S.
Jack Lord died almost a year ago of heart failure at age 77 after playing Steve McGarrett on Hawaii Five-O , TV's longest-running crime drama. I lived in Honolulu for a while and he seemed like kind of a buttwipe when I'd see him at various functions. My ex-husband once threw him out of his tattoo shop. Great PR for Hawaii, though. Sonny Bono

The problem is, you folks want me to say something nice about some of these people just because they died. Bono smacked into a tree while skiing last January, thereby creating the battle of the widows. Bono's wife Mary grabbed the press first but the first ex-Mrs. Bono

A Rival Rises
British-born Philip Morris emerges from years of obscurity on the shoulders of a macho man named Marlboro By Frank Tursi, Susan E. White and Steve McQuilkin
JOURNAL REPORTERS
The R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. was once the largest cigarette company in the United States with a powerhouse of best-selling brands: Winston, Salem and Camel. But times changed, and as the case against smoking became more pronounced in the 1960s, RJR failed to adapt to the marketplace. Its rivals would eventually rush past it, and RJR's efforts to catch up would have a profound impact on the company and the cigarette industry.
Gray
fetched one of the Marlboros out of the box, lit it and took a few drags. ''Gentlemen,'' he said to those in his office, ''Philip Morris will have to be watched closely from here on in.''
No one in the U.S. tobacco industry had paid much attention to Philip Morris before. In a business where size did matter, the English import had never commanded enough market share to win anyone's respect. At the time it reissued Marlboro, Philip Morris was fifth among the six major U.S. tobacco companies. Its sales were plummeting, though, and it seemed forever destined to being a small fish swimming among predators. So with little to lose, Philip Morris executives bet the company's future on the Big Idea the total transformation of an obscure woman's cigarette into a rugged, macho man's smoke. In doing so, the company's chieftains showed that they were willing to throw away the rule book.

It was moored in the Creek in front of the Civic Club (now the Docksider for those who have been awayup the river or down). The boat was EVA R, and it was named for his wife. This is where I came in and met a wonderful lady by name of Helen Olson. She knew Johnny's surname, (Robetteli?). My father's sister and my great-aunt were named Edith, so way back in time my favorite boat in Gerritsen Beach was named EDITH. [This message has been edited by George R.

Radio still has magic, but
it's really hard to find
By GERALD NACHMAN
of TheColumnists.com E
There are fewer and fewer varieties of programs to choose from. Even jazz and classical stations have been all but pushed off the far ends of the dial, leaving AM and FM radio to the talk and schlock-music programmers and to the relentless music/news/sports/weather/commute-casting that now passes for radio in America.
The raging argument over whether radio is turning right wing is the wrong discussion to be having, a distraction from what really matters. Real radio, of the sort that once thrived in the United States and still survives in Great Britain, has been almost totally shut down on both commercial and public radio, with a very few highly visible and popular exceptions.
Surely they are out there somewhere in the silent, unheard air, but with new names, just waiting for radio to tune them in. ©2003 by Gerald Nachman. The Nachman caricature is ©2000 by Jim Hummel. The cartoon radio is from IMSI's Master Clip Collection, 1895 Francisco Blvd. E., San Rafael, CA, 94901-5506, USA.

Events

1629 - Horses were first imported into the colonies by the Massachusetts Bay Colony on this day. 1704 - John Campbell, known by many as America’s first news vendor, published what would eventually become the first successful American newspaper, the "Boston News-Letter". 1810 - Pineapple cheese was patented by Lewis M. Norton. Mr. Norton lived nowhere near pineapples. He was from Troy, PA. Pineapple cheese... Yummy! 1860 - New Yorkers learned of a new law. It required fire escapes to be provided for tenement houses. 1916 - The American Academy of Arts and Letters obtained its charter from Congress. 1933 - Backed by the "On the Trail" portion of the magnificent "Grand Canyon Suite", Johnny Roventini, pillbox hat and all, uttered the words “Call for Philip Morris” for the first time on radio. The famous phrase was said in perfect B flat pitch and tone to perfectly match the accompanying music. This “Call for Philip Morris” phrase became one of the most famous in all of advertising. Here are a few other classics from advertising’s golden age to jog your brain’s memory cells: “See the U.S.A. in your Chevrolet,” “Pepsi Cola hits the spot, 12 full ounces and that’s a lot,” “When better cars are built, Buick will build them,” “Aren’t you glad you use Dial? Don’t you wish everybody did?” 1935 - People gathered around the radio to listen for the first time to what would become the ultimate horror show on NBC Radio. "Lights Out" remained on radio until 1946.
