TIDBITS® LOOKS AT THE
THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYby Kathy Wolfe
This week, Tidbits focuses on one of the nation’s favorite holidays, declared a national holiday by Abraham Lincoln in 1863.• A fortune-telling chicken gave us the start
to the tradition of breaking the wishbone atThanksgiving. Over 2,400 years ago, theEtruscan people inhabited the Italian peninsula, and believed a strange superstition related totheir 20-letter alphabet. Drawing a circle inthe dirt, these early Italians divided it into 20wedges, and placed a kernel of grain in eachwedge, depicting each letter.As a hen nibbledat the pieces, a holy man was transcribing thelettersinorder.Thehighpriestwascalledupontointerpretthechicken’speckingorder.Adeadchicken’s collarbone was revered as sacred, and after drying out in the sun, the unbroken bonewas held by the superstitious Etruscans as they madeawish.WhentheRomansbeganpracticingthis unusual custom, they came to blows over the bones,breakingthem.Thepracticeevolvedintotheholderofthelargerpiecebeinggrantedtheirwish.Traditionstates thatoursaying“Ineedaluckybreak”or“Inevergetabreak”were theresultofthisritual.TheRomanspassedalongthesuperstitiontotheEnglish,whobroughtittotheNew World, and, with the abundance of turkeys in the area, transferred the practice to the native fowl.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT
NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond
Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in
1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.
• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.
• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

Classics, Comfort Rule Holiday Shopping
Stores have to decide far in advance what items they’ll push for the holidays. Given the economy and the belt tightening that shoppers have been doing all year, retailers aren’t going to take many chances with the holiday merchandise they’ll offer. They already know that consumer wallets will be closed more than they’re open, so they need to cash in on what buyers appear to want.This year think “traditional” and “comfort.” Expect few fad items to grace the shelves. Decorations will tend to be the classics we grew up with: regular green Christmas trees with decorations in standard colors of gold and red. Look for toys with good play value. Watch for hands-on, do-it-yourself items like crafts, kits and building sets. Look for kitchen items that make it easier to cook (and eat) at home. Keep an eye out for warm comforters (because the thermostat is notched down a bit more this year) and one-person size quilts (so you’ll stay warm watching television because you’re not going out to movies as often). You’ll have luck finding electronicsat good prices. Again, consumers are staying home more, and retailers want to cash in on the desire for at-home entertainment. They’re hoping buyers will spring for computers that have Windows 7 and maybe even modestly priced big-screen televisions.Look for accessories to update an existing wardrobe. (If you buy clothing, look for items that will last through many seasons. The hot color this year is purple. Can you live with that for three years?) Certain brand-name jeans likely will be on sale -- a back-to-basics move. Before you shop, plan your spending. Stick to cash where possible (or at least have a plan to pay off credit cards within three months.) Decide on must-have gifts, but leave yourself some leeway for surprise bargains that you discover. Compare pricing between stores and online companies. Many online chains will have coupon codes for discounts if you buy online, but most will have quick expiration dates. Shop discount stores where you can, but beware the quality of the merchandise. Look for new items in charity shops.Hint:Afteryourfirstdayofholidayshopping,review your purchases and ask yourself if you really need to go out and buy more.

passenger registered as Dan Cooper, havingpaid $18.52 for a ticket, boarded NorthwestAirlinesflight305inPortland,Oregon,alongwith 36 others, bound for Seattle. (A presscommunication later mislabeled the man as “D.B.Cooper.”) Dressed inadarksuitandblackraincoat,hiswhite-collaredshirtsportedablacknecktieandamother-of-pearlstickpin.Black sunglasses covered his eyes. Shortlyinto the flight, Cooper passed a note to theflightattendant,advisingherthathisbriefcasecontained a bomb. Thinking he was givingher his phone number, she stuck the unopened note into her pocket. Her indifference caused Cooper to speak to her, “Miss, you’d betterlook at that note. I have a bomb.”
• D.B. Cooper’s hijack note listed his demandfor$200,000 inunmarked$20bills and fourparachutes – two main back chutes and two chest chutes. He received his cash and parachutes when the plane landed in Seattle, where he set thepassengersfreeandcommandedthepilottofly him to Mexico,flying “low and slow”andleavingthebackdoorunlocked.

EVERY WEEK!
By Samantha Weaver
• It was Serbian electrical engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla who made the following sage observation: “One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.” • You may be surprised to learn that in 1980, the mayor of Detroit gave the key to the city to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. • If you’re planning a trip to Minnesota anytime soon, you might want to stop in the town of Pipestone to see its claim to roadside-attraction fame: a 30-foot-long peace pipe. • If you think postage rates are getting high now, consider this: To send mail by Pony Express originally cost $5 per ounce -- and that was when a dollar was worth a whole lot more than it is today. • The World Health Organization does not include cockroaches on its list of insects hazardous to human health. • It was in 2006 at a
Christian youth conference in Atlanta that the world’s largest recorded pillow fight tookplace, with some 10,000 t e e n a g e r s
taking part in the festivities. • American author Ken Kesey is best known for his novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” which is set in a veterans’ hospital. He got the inspiration for the novel from work he did with patients while working the night shift at Menlo Park Veterans Hospital -- a job from which he was later fired. • If you’re ever vacationing in Denmark’s capital city, you might want to keep in mind this unusual statute: It is against the law in Copenhagen for an unmarried couple wearing bathing suits to kiss on the beach.***Thought for the Day: “I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporarily out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.” -- Mitch Hedberg

I had a real good experience atConverse County Motors.
Andy was very nice and polite and I felt no pressure from him. It is
just a real honest place.
