TIDBITS® LOOKS AT THE HISTORY OF THE WHITE HOUSE

by Kathy Wolfe

It’s not just the home of the U.S. Presi-dent; the White House has also been the site of diplomatic decisions, weddings, births and Easter egg hunts. This week, Tidbits goes behind the scenes at the Executive Mansion.

Because the First Continental Con-•gress met in Philadelphia in 1774, that citywasconsideredthefirstU.S.capi-tal. Since several other cities were the meeting place for Congress over the next 26 years, they were all technically regarded as the capital city. These cit-ies included Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland, Lancaster and York, Penn-sylvania, Princeton and Trenton, New Jersey and New York City, New York. While most meeting places were a court house, state house, or city hall, home to Congress in Trenton for seven weeks was the French Arms Tavern.The U.S. Constitution authorized a •100-square-mile plot of land for the seat of U.S. government. In 1791, George Washington chose the land in Mary-land and a smaller section in Virginia. He and the city planner Pierre L’Enfant selected the site for the president’s res-idence, the site known today as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.L’Enfant called the area the Capital •City. To Thomas Jefferson it was Fed-eral Town, while Washington referred to it as Federal City. The commission-ers who were appointed to obtain the property gave the name of Washington to the city.

four dining rooms and 35 bathrooms, as well as a fully equipped hair salon.The six levels of the White House are acces-•sible via three elevators or eight staircases, and contain 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms. There are 412 doors, 147 windows and 28 fireplacesinits55,000squarefeetoffloorspace. It sits on just over 18 acres, and has its own tennis court, running track, pool and movie theater. Richard Nixon added a single-lane bowling alley during his term. A painter needs about 570 gallons of paint to cover the exterior.

THE WHITE HOUSE (continued)The name of James Hoban is not a well-•known one, but his accomplishment lives on. When Thomas Jefferson organized a competition to obtain the best design for the President’s House, a striking entry was submitted by this Irish immigrant. Jefferson himself presented his own design; howev-er, he and seven others were outdone by Hoban, who went on to design many other public buildings on the Eastern seaboard.Thefirstcornerstoneofthehousewaslaidin•the fall of 1792, and it took until late 1798 to complete the exterior. While George Wash-ington supervised the construction, he nev-er lived in it. John Adams was elected presi-dent in 1797, and he and his wife Abigail werethefirstresidents,movinginwhenthehome was nearly complete in 1800. They only lived there four months before Adams’ successor, Jefferson, took residence.Only one U.S. president has had his wedding •in the White House. In 1886, Grover Cleve-land married 21-year-old Frances Folsom in the Blue Room, and made her the youngest F i r s t L a d y in U.S. history. Seven y e a r s l a t e r , s h e g a v e birth to daughter Esther, the only child of a presi-dent ever to be born in the house. But Es-therwasn’tthefirstbabytobebornthere.That honor belonged to Thomas Jefferson’s grandson, born to Jefferson’s daughter dur-inghistermofoffice.The East Room has served many different •purposes during its history. Abigail Adams used it as a laundry room. During the Civil War, it served as quarters for Union troops. Years later, Jackie Kennedy used it as a theater for the performing arts. It was also where the bodies of both Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy lay in state following their assassinations.Over the years, presidents have added what •were deemed necessities to their home. Millard Fillmore established a permanent library during his term in the mid-1850s. He was also responsible for the installation of thefirstbathtubwithrunningwater.WilliamHoward Taft, portly at nearly 350 pounds, had a custom-made bathtub installed, large enough to hold four average men. Electric lights were put in during the term of Ben-jamin Harrison, but neither he nor his wife ever touched the switches. They were both afraid of being shocked and called their ser-

vants when they wanted the lights turned on or off.Teddy Roosevelt moved in with six children •and found the home too small to contain them. He ordered the construction of a tem-porary building for additional office spacefor the staff. The greenhouses and conser-vatories were torn down to make room for this temporary addition that turned out to be permanent. Today it is known as the West Wing.AChristmas Eve, 1929, electrical fire se-•verely damaged the West Wing during Her-bert Hoover’s administration. The roof had to be replaced and the charred interiors rebuilt, and in the restoration process, air-conditioning was added.William Howard Taft was responsible for the •firstOvalOfficein1909,theofficialofficeofthepresident.Prior to that time, theofficewas rectangular. It was later rebuilt follow-ing thedamageof the1929fire. In1934,FDRaddedasecondfloortotheWestWingandhadanewOvalOfficecreated,theonein use today. At one time, the present Oval Officewasfilledwithclotheslines!In 1933, a March of Dimes campaign fund-•ed the addition of a swimming pool at the White House for the therapy of polio-strick-en Franklin Roosevelt. The pool was built in the old laundry rooms. Today, this is the site of the White House Press Room, built over the top of the pool, which still exists underneaththefloor,accessiblethroughatrapdoor. The deep end is under the press secretary’s podium, while the camera crews stand atop the shallow end.Harry Truman spent much of his presiden-•cy renovating the majority of the building, which had been deemed in danger of col-lapse. While the living area was entirely gutted and refurbished from 1949 to 1951, Harry and Bess resided across the street at BlairHouse,theofficialguesthouseforthepresident. Expanded over the years, this “guest house” has 70,000 square feet and includes 119 rooms, 14 guest bedrooms,

Why 2 Hearing Aids Are Better Than 1: Better Sound Discrimination: similar sounds can often be distinguished when heard with two ears. Improved Understanding: information from two ears is blended in the brain to form a complete picture of sound, one ear alone is not capable of doing this. Sound Source Location: it takes two ears to effec-tively be able to locate where a sound comes from. Less Stressful Listening: Listening with two ears is less stressing and you don’t have to turn your “good ear” to sound.We were born with two ears for a reason. When com-pared to listening with one ear, with two we can hear from both sides, hear a variety of sounds, be able to locate sounds, and have better larity and understand-ing.Without two ears our brain is presented with an incomplete picture of sound making communication harder.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be upset about having to deal with problems that are no fault of your own. But you can turn the annoyance into an asset by showing how quickly and how well you can resolve them.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s fondness for tidiness pays off when you untan-gle a situation that seems hopelessly snarled. You might later be surprised to learn who will be expressing his or her gratitude.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you can tackle your assignment the way you pre-fer, it might be a good idea to at least ask for suggestions. Who knows? One or two might even turn out to be helpful.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Make all the changes in your plans or proposals that you feel are necessary before -- repeat, before -- you submit them to your colleagues. You’ll come off looking more decisive that way.LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might feel a mite intimidated in a new environment, be it a job, a classroom or meeting the future in-laws. But enter with a big smile, and everyone will see you as a real take-charge Cat.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This could be a romantic time for you if you can set aside your cynicism and let yourself believe that someone really cares. If you’re already in a relationship, expect your partner to be extra-loving.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) It’s a good time to shed any doubts about your abili-ties. You’ve proved yourself in the past, so why not accept that you’ll do just as well, or better, in dealing with the new challenge ahead?SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your suspicions might be on the mark, but unless you can prove what you assume, you need to exercise that Scorpion discretion and let events unfold without your assistance.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Be careful not to go over the top this week. Avoid overeating (especially of the wrong foods), or drinking too much, or working too hard. You can do it all, but in moderation.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A family matter is given to you to resolve be-cause you have the gift for bringing quarrel-some kinfolk together. But while you’re playing Dr. Phil, don’t neglect your career obligations.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Someone of importance shares your goals but disagrees with your plan to achieve them. Never mind. Defending your methods with logic and facts earns you admiration and re-spect.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Consider getting away, perhaps for the weekend, de-spite all the demands made on your time and energies. You’ll return refreshed and ready to tackleitallwithyourusualfinesse.BORN THIS WEEK: You have a sense of honesty that makes people believe and trust in you.

It was Benjamin Disraeli, 19th-century •BritishPrimeMinisterandthefirstEarlofBeaconsfield,whomadethefollow-ing sage observation: “The most dan-gerous strategy is to jump a chasm in two leaps.” You’ve probably never heard of Hur-•ley, Wisc., but if you lived in the area, you’d know that the town is home to a 15-foot-tall corkscrew. It can be found, appropriately enough, outside Cork-screw Liquors.Except for the queens, all wasps die in •the autumn.The Japanese ruling family is the old-•est continuing hereditary monarchy in the world. The current emperor, Akihito, is the 125th holder of the title. Interest-ingly, he’s also a marine biologist and has published papers on ichthyology in both English and Japanese scholarly journals. For reasons that aren’t quite clear, in •Sweden, it’s illegal to train a seal to bal-ance a ball on the tip of its nose.It was March 15, 1952, when the larg-•est amount of rainfall in a single 24-hour period was recorded. It was the island of Reunion, in the Indian Ocean, that had the misfortune to receive a whop-ping 73.62 inches of rain on that Ides of March. That’s more than 6 feet of rain in asingleday!Feel like you have a lot more stuff than •you used to? You’re not imagining things -- and you’re not the only one. According to the Self-Storage Associa-tion, the number of businesses offering on-premises storage of all those things youcan’tfindroomforathomehasin-creased nearly 10 times since 1964.

Thought for the Day: “I no longer worry about being a brilliant conversationalist. I simply try to be a good listener. I notice that people who do that are usually welcome wherever they go.”

In a rush to work one morning, I pulled up to the drive-through window at a fast-food restaurant and ordered some coffee. Because I was in a hurry, I asked them to put a couple of ice cubes in the coffee so it would cool down more quickly and I could drink it faster. I sat there at the pick-up win-dow for a few minutes, wondering where they had to go to get my coffee, when a frustrated teenager finally came up andsaid, “I’m sorry for the delay, but the ice youwantedinyourcoffeekeepsmelting!”

A couple months ago, I entered a con-test and ended up winning a few acres of swamplandbelowthefloodplaneinMis-sissippi. Before I knew it, I won a $250,000 house, so naturally I built it on my new land. Last week, I won enough money in the lot-tery to quit my job and move down there for good. And just last night, as sat on my new porch watching the rain and listening to the thunder, it all started to sink in.

My son, Ken, was married yesterday. I heard him tell his bride, Caryn, that his ring was so tight it was cutting off his circu-lation. She replied, “That’s what it is sup-posed to do.”

Have you heard about the pharmaceuti-cal company that developed a new drug which, when administered to women, com-pels them to go join a convent? The FDA refused to license it. Seems it was habit forming.

A naive young lass was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. She rolled the dice and landed on “Science & Nature.” Her question was, “If you are in

a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?” She thought for a minute or two and then asked, “Is it on or off?”

The patient is adamant. “Doc, I need a liver transplant, a kidney transplant, a heart transplant, a cornea transplant, a spleen transplant, a pancreas trans...” “What makes you think you need all these?” “Well,” replied the patient, “my boss said if I wanted to keep my job, I needed to get reorganized.”

The policeman couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw a woman drive past him on the freeway, busily knitting. Quick-ly he pulled alongside the vehicle, rolled downhiswindow,andshouted,“Pullover!”“No,” the women yelled back cheerfully. “Socks!”

I was in the waiting room of my doctor’s officetheotherdaywhenthedoctorstart-edyelling,“Typhoid!Tetanus!Measles!” Iwent up to the nurse and asked her what was going on. She told me that the doctor liked to call the shots around here.

The chef at a family-run restaurant had broken her leg and came into our insur-ance office to file a disability claim.As Iscanned the claim form, I did a double take. Under “Reason unable to work,” she wrote: “Can’t stand to cook.”

I saw some strange goings on in the city today. A group of sterile monks in white robes were circling a large urn containing flowers,chanting,raisingtheirhands,bow-ing to the urn, and performing some kind of ritual on one young member of the group. It appeared to be a vase sect to me.

This guy is walking with his friend. He says to this friend, “You know, Benny’s a walking economy.” His friend replies, “How so?” “His hair line is in recession, his stomachisavictimofinflation,andbothofthese together are putting him into a deep depression.”

I noticed the neighbor down the street was home every day, so after a few weeks I asked him what was going on. He re-plied, “I left my job because of illness and fatigue.” A few weeks later, his wife gave me the real truth of what happened. Turns out my neighbor’s boss got sick and tired of him.

What is Clinical Research?Why Participate in Clinical

Research?Why be a Volunteer in

Research? By Bill Arnold

If I am not mistaken the readers of Tidbits are like most people in this country which would mean that a full 75% of you would claim that you have little to no knowledge about clinical research. This is according to a recent poll conducted by CenterWatch, the global center for research trial information. I would like to improve upon that percentage by explaining a little about research and moreimportantlyaboutthepotentialbenefitsthat participating in a research study can provide.As you might guess, the many new medications that are constantly being developed must all go through a considerable process of testing before they are made available to the public. New drug research begins with years of laboratory experiments, then extensive testing in animals, and finally, if approved by the Food and DrugAdministration (FDA), testing in people. The FDA is responsible for ensuring the safety of those people who volunteer to participate in research. To accomplish

that it has imposed mandatory safeguards and regulations, in addition to requiring that each clinical research study follow a carefully constructed protocol. This protocol must be approved by the FDA before a study can be initiated and then followed with strict adherence by those who conduct the research. Once a new drug is approved for clinical testing it will go through three initial phases of investigation by research sites carefully selected by the pharmaceutical company to conduct the study. It is only after this required testing has been completed that a drug is submitted to the FDA for approval. Even after a drug has been FDA approved it may go through further post-market testing. These phase IV studies are very common andinfactconstituteasignificantportionofthe studies we conduct at Horizons Clinical Research Center, LLC, here in Denver.You may wonder why people volunteer to participate in research and really there are a number of reasons. Many simply would like to help advance modern medicine, and their participation is vital in obtaining the knowledge to improve the health care for countless people. Others may be frustrated with existing medications and hope to find greater success with investigationaltreatments not available to the general

public. For some people, perhaps without health insurance, participating in research is a means of obtaining more and better medical attention for their health condition than they would otherwise receive. Volunteers also receive all of their clinic visits, lab assessments, medical exams and study medication free of charge. Typically volunteers also receive compensation for their time and travel, so not only may therebehealthbenefitsforparticipatinginresearch,butfinancialonesaswell.This is a very short discourse on clinical research but you can now consider yourself more knowledgeable about the subject than three quarters of the country.
