I think the donkey baseball games were mostly held in Kidron.??? That's the way I remember it.??? I only remember one game being held in Dalton at the park.??? I remember the carnivals at the baseball park.??? I really liked those.
?
Does your neighbor still "whitewash" his trees, Pat????? I don't think I have seen a white tree trunk in years, not even in Dalton.??
?
Did any of you go to the Wooster Armory to see wrestling matches???? Glenn and I went a few times; it was quite entertaining.??
?
Does anyone remember the radio station WWST??? You could request songs dedicated to someone you had a crush on at that moment.??? I remember as a Freshman I had a crush on?Louella Shane's cousin and I was constantly requesting songs on that station.??? Did anyone else do that??

Scott's drugstore comic books and magazines
jhdouglas59
Remember the magazine rack at the drugstore? I liked to look at the
comic books and occasionally buy one for 10 cents. Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny & Elmer Fudd, Superman, Batman, Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers, and other classics I don't much remember now. Time marched on and then I remember buying Mad Magazine with Alfred E. Newman (What, Me Worry?), Cracked Magazine and countless other imitations of Mad Magazine. I think they cost a quarter back then. I don't think you were allowed to spend much time looking at the comic books if you weren't buying them. Remember: this is not a library. I still have some of those old comic books squirreled away somewhere around my house. Anyone else recall Scott's drugstore magazine selections? I guess they probably also had Life, Look, Collier's, Saturday Evening Post, along with other mundane selections. However, in my mind, comic books ruled. Now the comics in the paper are pretty much worthless. Not much to look at now in the Sunday comics. I'm not sure if the rugrats these days even know what comics are. They probably don't even know what a newspaper is. Progress, I guess. The Weaselmeister |

Re: Who remembers Cleveland TV stations in the 50's?
Addie & Dave Yoder
Yes, Riceland golf course is still there. Remember the Sohio gas station across from it? It's gone. Can't remember what has been built in the same place. Could just be an empty building. At the intersection of Route 30 at Riceland where the road coming out of Orrville and dead ends into the golf course, in that same northwest corner,just north of the Riceland Inn (corner building), Smucker's Jams and Jellies has built an outlet store. It is accessed from the road going into Orrville - the one that changed numbers.

Hi Everybody: Linda Fahrney/Freeland here! I want to repsond to this memory about the party where a bunch of us played "Post Office." Mentioned by both Pat and Lanny and here's Lanny's comments about it below... ========= I remember we had get togethers at a large two story house on Main east side of Dalton, north side, and I think it was the Bodager or Meisner home. I'm not sure how many times we played that goofy game I only know there were several of us there. Lanny ====== You all may have had another "Kissing" party at the Meisner home (don't remember where that was), but I went to the party at Connie and Dick Bodager's house and there were gobs of guys and girls there. (would be interesting if everybody would reveal if they were there or not). And yes, we played "Post Office" and must have been the first time for that game for me! Cause I've never forgot it. That's the memory I have when I drive by Connie's house even today. I want to confirm Pat's stories about a lot of girls doing and learning to do acrobats in the old school house in the basement girl's bathroom. I remember doing that too! I know one time I did a flip with no hands and don't how I did that to this day. It's a wonder we didn't crack our heads on the cement floor and kill ourselves. Pat says we used a big rubber cushioned pad. I don't remember that - but maybe so. I remember that Karen, Connie, and Nancy W. were the best and were featured later on in some kind of a talent show (or maybe a side act to one of our operettas that we had. By the way everybody, I got a call about two weeks ago on a Sat. morning and it was Karen Eckard Baer. We had a good visit on the phone and I told her about all the Yahoo group and how much fun it was. She said to say "Hi" to everybody. I asked her if she was not on line and she informed me that she was not a computer person. I usually see Karen or at least talk to her when I go home as she was my childhood friend (both her and Jeff Eckard) as we just lived across the field from their houses and we did some serious playing as young children. She is well and has a wonderful family and grandchildren that her and Mike visit often. She retired a couple of years ago from her beauty salon that she had in her house. Speaking of operetta's - does anybody remember one we did when we were about 9 or 10 years old? I don't remember what grade that would have been. I had a pretty big part in it and I was a "Teakettle." Gwen, I remember you were in this one and was either a broom or a "Teapot." I had to sing a song and it started out "A teakettle's life is a merry one (and then I forgot the words) and just sang La, la, la, la, la, la, the rest of the song! I know the song of "I'm a Little Teapot- short and stout" was also sang. Don't remember any of the boy's parts. Also anybody remember the operetta - "The Pied Piper of Hamlin" with all the rats following. Let's hear from you if you do and who was in that one????? More later from me...

Ok you guys are killing me. I'm starting to flow with the memories, now comes the things we used to do that was not exactly good. I remember on halloween night time when we used to cruise the back country roads looking for corn shocks farmers put up. We used to practice our tackling by running thru fields and knocking them down. I remember one smart farmer who put stakes in the middle of the shocks, OUCH! Do you remember when the amish buggy was disassembled and reassembled on the roof of a downtown business? I remember the sheriff coming to school asking questions about the incident. How about Lanny Rossiter? I remember the name. He dated a girl (?) in school and I remember everyone used to tease her about dating a jailbird because he spent time in jail. I believe that girl eventually dated Emer (Els) Royer from East Greenville who was my cousin. He served time in the Army as a helicopter mechanic and liked to hang out with the Dalton school kids. Any memories of him or her? I remember parties where we used to place our hands over our mouths and noses and blow out emitting no air causing ourselves to pass out.

Kate Smith died physically in 1986 but her rendition of "God Bless America" will always continue. I remember when ever I was sick and had to stay home, I would watch TV, Arthur Godfrey, Tennessee Ernie Ford (sp) and many other shows and she appeared on them as well and the weekly variety shows, Ed Sullivan, Milton Burle, etc. We usually had a conflict on Sunday evenings as I wanted to watch "The Comedy Hour" and others wanted Ed Sullivan. That was then followed by "The Sid Cesar Show". Someone earlier mentioned The Ted Mack Amateur Hour. My sister Bonnie appeared live on that show from New York on May 21, 1961 playing the Marimba.

I want to confirm Pat's stories about a lot of girls doing and learning to do acrobats in the old school house in the basement girl's bathroom. I remember doing that too! I know one time I did a flip with no hands and don't how I did that to this day. It's a wonder we didn't crack our heads on the cement floor and kill ourselves. Pat says we used a big rubber cushioned pad. I don't remember that - but maybe so. I remember that Karen, Connie, and Nancy W. were the best and were featured later on in some kind of a talent show (or maybe a side act to one of our operettas that we had. By the way everybody, I got a call about two weeks ago on a Sat. morning and it was Karen Eckard Baer. We had a good visit on the phone and I told her about all the Yahoo group and how much fun it was. She said to say "Hi" to everybody. I asked her if she was not on line and she informed me that she was not a computer person. I usually see Karen or at least talk to her when I go home as she was my childhood friend (both her and Jeff Eckard) as we just lived across the field from their houses and we did some serious playing as young children. She is well and has a wonderful family and grandchildren that her and Mike visit often. She retired a couple of years ago from her beauty salon that she had in her house. Speaking of operetta's - does anybody remember one we did when we were about 9 or 10 years old? I don't remember what grade that would have been. I had a pretty big part in it and I was a "Teakettle." Gwen, I remember you were in this one and was either a broom or a "Teapot." I had to sing a song and it started out "A teakettle's life is a merry one (and then I forgot the words) and just sang La, la, la, la, la, la, the rest of the song! I know the song of "I'm a Little Teapot- short and stout" was also sang. Don't remember any of the boy's parts. Also anybody remember the operetta - "The Pied Piper of Hamlin" with all the rats following. Let's hear from you if you do and who was in that one????? More later from me...

Ok you guys are killing me. I'm starting to flow with the memories, now comes the things we used to do that was not exactly good. I remember on halloween night time when we used to cruise the back country roads looking for corn shocks farmers put up. We used to practice our tackling by running thru fields and knocking them down. I remember one smart farmer who put stakes in the middle of the shocks, OUCH! Do you remember when the amish buggy was disassembled and reassembled on the roof of a downtown business? I remember the sheriff coming to school asking questions about the incident. How about Lanny Rossiter? I remember the name. He dated a girl (?) in school and I remember everyone used to tease her about dating a jailbird because he spent time in jail. I believe that girl eventually dated Emer (Els) Royer from East Greenville who was my cousin. He served time in the Army as a helicopter mechanic and liked to hang out with the Dalton school kids. Any memories of him or her? I remember parties where we used to place our hands over our mouths and noses and blow out emitting no air causing ourselves to pass out. That is why some of us are now brainless and lucky to be alive.

Kate Smith died physically in 1986 but her rendition of "God Bless America" will always continue. I remember when ever I was sick and had to stay home, I would watch TV, Arthur Godfrey, Tennessee Ernie Ford (sp) and many other shows and she appeared on them as well and the weekly variety shows, Ed Sullivan, Milton Burle, etc. We usually had a conflict on Sunday evenings as I wanted to watch "The Comedy Hour" and others wanted Ed Sullivan. That was then followed by "The Sid Cesar Show". Someone earlier mentioned The Ted Mack Amateur Hour. My sister Bonnie appeared live on that show from New York on May 21, 1961 playing the Marimba. She was 18 at the time. Someone recently found an archive tape of the show and made a CD for her and I now have a copy. Have a GREAT DAY!

Chuck: I think it's kind of funny that all we remember about the trip to Pittsburgh is the name of the driver and a song on the radio. Were we lost in space or what? I guess the Latin purpose of the trip was secondary to the trip itself. As far as Spanish is concerned, I remember Spanish as well as I remember Latin. Si, Senor. Que pasa? The Weaselmeister In dalton59@..., "Chuck Meier" <charlesmeier01@...> wrote: that it involved Latin somehow. I think we took a test. It was at the Buhl Planetarium, and Homer Gerber drove us. My impression of the city was that it was very black - all of the buildings were black from the smoke of the steel mills. buildings have been cleaned, as well as new buildings have been built. My wife, Priscilla, grew up in the area, up the Allegheny in New Kensington, although it has been years since we have been there. Her parents moved away in the late '70s, and, except to bury their ashes after her Mother passes - not imminent, by the way, as she is in very good health and will turn 90 in September - there is no reason to go there. None of Priscilla's family is there anymore. The closest one is her sister who lives a couple hours away in Indiana, PA. for Spanish. Have you learned Spanish, living in Texas? ?Como esta usted? |

Home Delivery
jhdouglas59
I'm in a reflective mood tonight trying to recall the various items we
had delivered to our home on East Main Street back in the 40's/50's. Some of the stuff I remember: Sterling bread (from Canton?). I remember the cracked wheat bread that came in the waxy wrapper (which you could use to wax the runners on your sleds). I think occasionally the delivery guy would attach a Peter Wheat comic book to the bread. I think the Peter Wheat character was pretty dorky, but at the time he seemed neato. Ideal milk (from Massillon?). The milk was full stregth with that layer of cream on top. I think the bottle was sealed with some kind of cardboard top that kind of flipped up. Returnable bottles. Imagine that would be considered eco friendly recyling today. A good idea at the time but now too labor intensive. Grit weekly newspaper. I think I tried delivering those papers weekly using my balloon tire orange Schwinn bike with the wire baskets on the sides to hold the papers. I believe the full retail price was 10 cents; the goofy delivery boy got to keep four cents (which really was a pretty good profit margin). The only problem was you had to send in the six cents to Grit headquarters every week, even though you had a problem collecting the full 10 cents from the customers (many old tightwads around town who enjoyed stiffing the paperboy). That old bike was a cool bike. It had a horn button with a battery operated horn on it. Charles potato chips in the big metal can. I still have the empty can. Various door to door salesmen who sold: Electrolux horizontal vacuum cleaners and Kirby upright vacuum cleaners. Encyclopedias Fuller brushes and Better brushes. What other stuff do you remember that was delivered to your house or that some pesky door to door salesman tried to sell back then? The Weaselmeister |

As far as I know, Riceland is still there, although it has been twenty or more years since I played there.? I never played there when we were in high school, because I thought then that golf was such a stupid game.? Later, it became an obsession; then I gave it up for ten years.? Now, it has gotten to the point where it is just fun to go out and play a few holes and I don't really care about the score.? We belong to a club where they have a nine-hole course where the tees are different for the back nine, but it is essentially playing the same nine holes all over again;? so, playing only nine holes is best and playing eighteen is too much, unless it is a tournament or something.? I played nine this afternoon and it was fun, the air was great and it was a good 2-mile walk.
