Pliney Dancey, Retired Grocer, Recalls Happenings of Boyhood

but the storekeeper did sell home made country butter. Eggs varied in price. Mr. Dancey recalled hav­ing sold them a t one time, three dozen for a quarte r and for $1.20 a dozen during World W ar L

Mr. Dancey iwas asked if flour didn’t som etimes get "buggLe.” He said noy they sold large quan­tities and th e turn-over was too rapid.

Householders some times had trouble w ith insects, but most people couldn't afford to throw the d o u r away, bo they sifted out the “varm ints" and used the flour anyway. Dried fruits sometimes became "iwebby” also and the housewife p u t them in the oven to heat and destroy the insect pests.

TH ERE W ERE five groceries in Chatsworth in early days, now th ere are only three. The stores today hold a much greater varie­ty of foods. There are the pack­aged goods, frozen foods and bak­ed items th a t were unheard of then.

Pepperdinea ran a restauran t and bakery where Bob Stephen­son is now. No baked goods were sold in the stores. Charles Land- wehr opened his own bakery in the small building back of Jimmy Baldwin’s store. Bread was not introduced into the grocery until about 1914, then it was shipped in. L a te r A1 Gerbracht started a bakery in th e present location of the Coral Cup.

S trange things (to us) were sold in grocery stores in those days, such as kerosene, lamp wicks, lamp chimneys, candles and lanterns.

In early days brown paper came in reams and the grocers made their own sacks, funnel shaped affairs, they tied w ith a string. Balls of string were kept to tie packages before the days of paper bags and Scotch tape.

MR. DANCEY was a real artist In th e preparation of fru it bas­kets. In m ore recent years at Christmas tim e he prepared many beautiful b a s t e d intended as gifts. He and a helper worked far into the night to fill the orders and not disappoint the customers. His finished product was a truly m asterful creation.

Mr. Dancey’s store was a real paragon of neatness. He handled only the best quality of goods. A helper once told the w riter tha t it was his employer’s policy to send out nothing of questionable quality, but operate on the prin­ciple that each item was going to appear on the president’s din­ner table. A policy of that kind, to which he always adhered, in­sured a fine product to his cus­tomer.

I t is a little difficult for Mr. Dancey since his retirem ent to get used to the idea of doing his own shopping in someone else’s store. He says he sometimes for­gets things, necessitating another trip to the store.

F lin ty Dancey, a long time business m an in Chatsworth, re ­tired recently from th e grocery business. He worked 89 y e a n In his last location and about 60 y e a n altogether on Main s t re e t

Mr. Dancey started as a boy working in a drug sto re for J. F. Sullivan, in the building more recently occupied by the late Will Quinn. His next employment was w<th Cording Brothers’ Grocery, the location now held by th e Citi­zens Bank, then he worked for Carney B rothers’ Livery Stable, located where today W ard Col­lins operates a repair shop.

Mr. Dancey was quite versatile. He next found employment with Tom Burns, running a pool parior ln the place now operated by T er­ry Thompson, as a grocery. The grocery business seemed to have held the greatest fascination for Mr. Dancey so for ten y e a n he worked for A rthur Cording in the location of the present Culkin Food Mart.

In 1914 he had a serious illness. When he was able to re tu rn to work he had employment with Joe Miller in the clothing store in the building now occupied by Collins Implement Store.

IT WAS IN April 1918 when Mr. Dancey opened his own store a t the location he maintained in the east business block until his retirem ent. He recalled Chats­worth from his boyhood days. Main street then was equipped with wooden sidewalks on piers and hitching racks for horses were found all up and down main street.

Stores were heated with old fashioned pot-belly stoves. There were no central heating systems. Everything was handled in bulk, either in barrels or boxes. Molas­ses. sauerkraut, even ginger snaps came in barrels. Crackers were put up in 20 and 25 pound boxes. Oatmeal, the only cereal, arrived in bags as did commeal and hom­iny.

Rice came In 100 sound sacks and potatoes in 2 bushel bags. S alt was mt d th i ta r r e l for 90c to $1.10. The firf t packaged cereals were "M ultivitf’ and ‘‘Force.’’

F ru it was ail of the dried va­riety, dried apples, peaches, prunes and raisins.

There weren’t so many brands of coffee then, only "Arbuckle’s” and ‘ McLaughlin’s 4X.” Coffee came In bulk and’ had to be ground. Of course many couldn’t afford coffee so they used barley or chlceory. I t could be made to tas te like coffee by adding coffee essence which came in a stick looking like shoe polish and was shaved Into the brew. Tea and rioe were shipped In bulk; beans came in two bushel bags.

Sugar arrived in 300 o r 350 pound barrels. Flour too was sold by the barrel. The grocery store handled no milk. The customers went directly to the cow for that.

Chatsworth a t that time had wide concrete sidewalks on two levels w ith a step from the stree t. A steel awning extended out over the sidewalk supported by m etal posts. H ie awn­ing ran from the front of the Cording store (now owned by Francis Culkin) to the W alter building on the corner (now owned by Joe

Conibear).

This is a picture of the A rt Cording store in 1907, where Pliney Dancey was a clerk.

The people from left to right are William Hallam, A rthur Cording, Pliney Dancey, Miss Jessie Law, Mrs. Emma Wienand and Miss Lillie Law.

During Intermission the Lions treated hand members to pie and coffee at the Coral Cup.

In addition to the audience be­ing entertained by a fine band concert, two youngsters showed their musical talents w ith exhibi­tions of marching and directing.

Once there was a m an who hated holiday*, hated week-ends, and particularly hated vacations —because they kept him from going to work! He was the only one. The rest of us feel the op­posite. We talk despondently about “getting back to the old grind.” As the suntan fades, we fade with i t

We don’t have to fade. I t ’s true th a t roost of us feel b e tte r in the summer and get sick leas often. But it’s not Just because of long week-ends and vacations. I t ’s be­cause we get outdoor exercises, as nature m eant us to. The end of summer need not, and should n o t mean the end of regular exercise.

Exercise improves the circula­tion of the blood. And good cir­culation makes us b e tte r able to withstand an illness, accident or operation. Exercise helps us di­gest our food and improves bowel function. Taken before bedtime, exercise can do a b e tte r job of j giving the insomniac a good night’s sleep than any pill. Prob­ably most im portant in this mod­ern age, exercise is the best anti- j dote for nervous strain and ten- j sion.

Most housewives, of course, fe e l! that they get plenty of exercise just keeping up with the children and the housework. But it’s not the kind of exercise th a t fills your lungs with good fresh air and brings all your muscles into play. Find time for a half hour’s brisk walk every day—you’ll feel | the difference.

Instead of singing the blues be­cause summer is over, remember there’s a blue sky outside. Get out and get under it!

FROM CONGRESSMANL C . "U E S " AREN DS *

..SESSION ENDS

At long last the first session of the 85th Congress has come to an end. During the next few weeks we will be reading in the news­paper and magazine columns var­ious evaluations of w hat was and w hat was not accomplished, with the “why’s" and the “where­fore’s.” I t being a Democrat con­trolled Congress and a Republi- can adm inistration program pre­sented to it, we may expect two distinct points of view expressed by each w ith respect to the rec­ord of the session. That is the way of politics. But whatever the partisans m ay contend, in the fi­nal analysis it is the people rep­resented by the Congress who really make the decision.

For the successful functioning of our representative form of government It Is of vital import­ance tha t the representative in Congress know the views of the people he represents. I t is equally im portant tha t the people know what their representative in Con­gress did and said in their behalf, and why. In this respect the in­numerable letters and telegrams received during the course of the session expressing views on leg­islative issues as they arise are extremely helpful. They, together with the newspapers from back home, help one determ ine the “pulse of the people’’ for whom he speaks and acts.

But nothing can take the place of seeing and talking to the peo­ple themselves. Only in this way can one really learn their wants and wishes, and only in this way can one give to them an adequate accounting of his stewardship over their interests. We are ac­cordingly spending this adjourn­ment period back home in the District.

During this all too short ad­journment period m any members of Congress—all too many—are making officially authorized trips to various parts of the world. As the senior Republican member on the Armed Services committee, we have been repeatedly urged by the Defense Departm ent to make such ? trip for an official inspec­tion of our a ir bases and other military establishm ents abroad. They are a vital part of our na­tional defense on which our Arm­ed Services committee must reg­ularly make decisions.

To be sure, to see for yourself what Is being done, how and why, in connection with our global de­fense organization gives one a better insight into these problems than just listening to a verbal explanation in testimony before ♦be committee by some official of the Departm ent of Defense or some high military strategist. Perhaps some day we shall make such a trip, and doubtless we should, but. from our point of view, particularly when a session of Congress is so prolonged, it is much more important to talk with people in our home District for an exchange of opinions and ideas tuan to talk with the people of France, Germany, Italy. Spain, Japan, or wherever, to learn their reaction to what has been trans­piring.

As im portant as national de­fense is to our security and the maintenance of peace, and as helpful as it would be ^to see lor one’s s e lf ’ in making* our deci­sions on defense m atters , it seems to us much more im portant that we spend w hat little time there is during this adjournm ent to learn “first hand” w hat the peo­ple a t home a re thinking and want done ra th e r than seeing ‘‘first hand" w hat the thinking is and w hat is being done in other parts at the world. There are more questions to be resolved than just national defense.

CM! TOPAYf

By Ted Ketfmg(Editor, Spo»t « A fi eld M agazine)

Once you've brought down a wild goose, says Jimmy Robin­son, T rap and Skeet Editor of Sports Afield magazine, you de­serve him. He comes hard, agonizingly hard. But even if the birds never come in, you don’t go home empty-handed. You can take home that sound of the wild; you can take home that thrilling sight of them.

Each flock chooses one of the older, more experienced birds as leader — the watch gander, although it isn’t always a gan­der. Feeding or resting, this bird or one of his delegates re­mains on watch to look for dan­ger and warn the flock of its ap ­proach.

You can’t be too painstaking to be sure of fooling the wild goose. Down along the Chesa­peake, one of the country's finest goose shooting areas, shooters build permanent blinds. Brush blinds built along the point of winding rivers a re so cunningly Interwoven w ith the surround­ing thickets th a t they are prac­tically impossible to spot from a few feet away. But the wise geese can spot them.

Blues and snows w inter by the thousands on the Gulf coast delta area. The western Canada and lesser Canada provide West Coast gunnners with the same excite­ment that E ast Coast gunners en­joy. The only difference is that the southern California gunner may be literally sweating it out among the tules in a khaki shirt, while the Chesapeake gunner is freezing slowly but surely in a windy stake blind.

The American brant of the A t­lantic seaboard and the black brant of the B adfic are smaller geese whose relatively diminutive size by no means decreases their sportiness on the ewing. At the beginning of the season, A tlantic brant is firm and sweet to the taste, but as the season progress­es and they gorge themselves or rank eel grass, the flavor of the bird assumes the characteristics of a sea gull. This is not the case with the Canada which, gen­erally speaking, is considered the best eating of all waterfowl.

One species or another of Canada geese Is found in every s ta te of the Urikm. He’s the same wise, unpredictable crea­ture. whether you take him in the mountain passes of the West, along the shores of Oregon’s Kla­m ath Lake, or wing him over the palmettos scattered around the St. M ark’s Refuge near T alla­hassee, Florid* Horseshoes Lake Refuge, near C airo, Illinois, is probably the country’s greatest concentration of geese and goose hunters As many as 50,000 geese at a time have made this refuge their headquarters. When the Canadas rise from Horseshoe Lake to venture out for feed, the noise sounds like a thunder­ing freight train. Along the East Coast, goose shooting means only one thing — the Chesapeake and that Valhalle of goose shooters. Mattnmuskeet

Remarkable New Chemical, Diphacin,Produces Faster, M o re Effective Kill

Like many who live in areas where rats are a problem, you may doubt th a t rodent, can be controlled, much lees elimi­nated, with poiaoned ra t bait.

But Diphacin (pronounced "Dio-Faa-In”) is not juat an­other anticoagulant ra t bait. It's a new, scientific approach to the entire problem of rodent control. I t ’s made with a po­tent new chemical discovery called Diphacin—completely clean, odorless and tasteless— it’s vacuum packed to stay fresh. And i t ’s a product of Niagara Chemical, an old and respected formula tor of insect­icides and other pesticides used sro u n d th e farm and home.

How D lphadn Works So Fast

Sim ply s ta ted , D iphacin kill* rats and mice by inducing a degenerative effect into the rodent’s blood stream. This weakens the pest and causes death in short order.

U n lik e o th e r r a t b a i t s , Diphacin requires Cower suc­cessive feedings so there is no tendency toward bait shyness. I t gets even the hardy rate—

the hard-bo-kill rats—without arousing their suspicions.

Vacuum Pack Insures Freshness

When you open a Hn of Dlphadn there's a reassuring "whosh" to tell you that this bait Is vacuum packed to stay fresh. Research has shown that much of today's prepared rat bait goes stale before it Is used. Rats are smart—they won't ea t stale or randd food. So, unless you use a fresh bait, such as Dlphadn, you can't and won’t get the results you expect, no matter how effec­tive the poison.

M ade with Choice Wholesome Foods

With s vacuum pack to in­sure freshness, choicer food­stuffs are used in D iphacin than is possible in ordinary packaged baits. Diphacin has a taste lure tha t particularly appeals to rodents yet it is ap­proved safe to use around your buildings.

Package A lso Servos a* Bait Station (Sea above and below)

There’s no fuss, muss or hazard when you bait your premises with Diphacin— no need to handle, no need to build special feeding stations. Each vacuum packed can of Diphacin, when opened (see illus­tration) becomes a self service belt station. Just place several of these tine adjacent to feed bins, chicken houses or other areas

where rets and mice travel, and watch results. •

_ ,^ J n Store* NowIf yon have s ra t or mouse problem, get

new Diphacin (say "Die-Fas-In”) from your nearby store today. Use it with con­fidence. See what a relief it is to have your farm or boms free from nasty, costly rats

One of the most exciting events was the roadster pony race. Af­ter exhibiting these classy min­iature horses at ’a walk and s’ trot the driven turned them loose and let them run, which they did quite willingly.

The five gal ted bones were the most showy with the Blow-gait; rack, canter, tro t and walk. An unusual feature for most horse shows was the pony teams hitch­ed to wagons. The little animals stepped along a t a lively pace, drawing their tiny vehicles as they competed for prize*.

A little planning can avert this potential disaster. When highways are being routed, be sure an ample strip of land runs totwesa railroad and highway. Then you can offer industry the choicest sites with ready ac-

ita lines. The next decade ought to best this record. Your community should be prepared to share in Mid-America's growth.

sometimes with the aid of "our gang." You can hardly w ait tn get back to see the old place and m eet old friends.

You approach the old neighbor­hood w ith a bit of expectation, but somehow it doesn't look fa­miliar. Remember tha t row of fine trees, beautiful shrubs and peony bushes th a t lined the park­way? Surely this is the right s tree t and the right block, but th a t big ranch house is a new ad­dition and the old home place is gone. They've cut down all the trees and plowed up the shrub­bery and flowers. Wonder why? “Modem progress” someone says, but destroying just for the sake of destruction is asinine,, no m at­te r w hether it's a valuable oak tree or a prized volume of Shakes-

L pea re th a t gets the axe.

Someone volunteers the infor­mation the house was moved, so you hunt the new location, oh yes, there it is, but the white cot­tage Is no longer white, it’s paint­ed bright yellow (a color you ab­hor) and the distinctive green shutters are gone, so is, the pick­et fence. The porch has been

• tom off, too, and a little stoop ' built; it Just doesn’t ’ look the

same somehow.

Oh well, you'll look up some of your old friends. Let’s see, you have been away 19 years now or

. Is It 15? There’s Bill Hippen, he was president of your class was­n’t he? I t will be nice to talk to him. "Hello Bill!” I guess he didn’t see you or maye he didn’t know you, guess you’ve changed some. Who hasn’t? Well there's May Brown, surely sh e ll ta lk to you. She was your next door neighbor, bu t she seems occupied, seems she doesn’t remember you either.

How about going back to the old horn* church? New minister, new ushers, new janitor, no one you know and no one knows you.

You want to visit the old office where you used to work? Re­member your desk and chair? You alm ost seemed a p art of them and they were p art of you, and those file cabinets where you kept

i so many Interesting bits of infor- \ m at Ion th a t you had been collect- l ing for years.! No, please don’t go In! I t would ; break your heart to see what ! they've done to your office. They have moved the desk and chair down to the jan itor’s departm ent, and your file? Oh, they burned th a t about a year ago. I guess it w asn 't im portant anyway. Nothing's im portant, but think­ing makes it so. I t ’s a chapter in a closed book th a t is best forgot­ten. If you get any foolish ideas like returning and finding every­thing the same, DON’T. It s all different now. The door is clos­ed and It is better to leave it closed.

"He appears to have been a bad m anager as he received $6,000 with bis wife when be married, but loat It all in Woodford Coun­ty in attem pts a t wheat raising and in speculating so th a t when he came here he was «H1 nigh penniless. He Is said to have been a m an of high intelligence, but of a disposition to render him un­popular and a character to some extent questionable.

“His family often suffered for the necessaries of life, sometimes living on potatoes alone, some­times grinding com in a coffee mill for bread. He Tawed’ the county for sixteen years for some imaginary title to land in Char­lo tte township, b u t w ithout profit to himself or anyone else, aside from the lawyers engaged in i t He left town in 1876, without a dollar and as we are now inform­ed without reputation and went to the Indian territory, where he now is if he has not loat his scalp.”

Generally speaking, to be eli­gible to vote in a community elec­tion a person must be either an owner or operator of a farm. O ther eligibility requirements are:

1. If farm is owned or operated by a minor, he or she is eligible to vote.

2. Even though farming inter-1 ests a re located In more than one community, you may vote in only one community election.

3. If you participate in anycalled ‘Charlotte’—the name, j Price Support Program or receive

it is said, of a girl courted in Ver­mont in his bachelor days and for whom he still seemed to re­tain a warm feeling."

So th a t is how Charlotte got its name. (We wonder how his $5,000 wife felt about It. Wives are prone to take a dim view of their husband’s form er sweethearts, ( even if they do have pretty j names.)

TH E HISTORY of Charlotte mentions several who came, stay­ed for a short time, were dissat­isfied or starved out and moved on. I t spoke of one family living on frozen potatoes.

Names of a more permanent nature tha t appeared in the sketch were Lawrence F arrell, Owen Finnegan, Owen Murtaugh. F arre ll built the f irs t fram e dwell­ing in the township. Finnegan made a permanent settlem ent in Charlotte.

P atrick Monahan’s first resi­dence, the small cabin he occu­pied until he got his land paid for, presented a striking contrast to his la ter elegant dwelling which was one of the finest coun­try residences in Livingston coun­ty and cost $5,860 exclusive of his own work. This home is now occupied by M rs. Charles Hubly.

TIMES WI31E sometimes bard. Mr. Monahan told th a t hunger often stared them in the face. He recalled living a week on potatoes and beans. Meal was sometimes alm ost wholly unobtainable. He heard of some m eal to be had a t a certain place beyond ih e river and a fte r crossing the river on the Ice, breaking through and nearly drowning as well as freez­ing, found the place, but the meal was all gone.

“H ie firs t child bom in Char­lo tte Township w as Julia A. Mon­ahan, a daughter of Patrick Mon­ahan! O c t 8, 1889. Her father took h er to M orris with an ox team, a distance of fifty miles, to have h e r baptized.

However he made the trip in perfect safety.'’

“P rairie wolves were plenty and disagreeably familiar some­times. M r Farrell was nearly sur­rounded by the wolves one day; he was on horseback and was forced to run his horse for his life. However, they w ere not often so vicious.” Deer were also plenty. They sometimes drank from w at­ering troughs. The Mpnahans re ­ported seeing a herd near their home, so large they were unable to count them.

Eagle Grove was one of the little groves on the prairie near the Vermilion river, and was so called because eagles built their nests and reared their young there.
