My dear departed uncle was a circus clown before he died … I remember all his friends came to the funeral in one car.

It happened at the World’s Fair! Some will recognize this as the title of a 1963 movie starring Elvis Presley, filmed on the site of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. Let’s look at the history of these expositions that have been staged for more than 160 years.

• The World’s Fair, officially known as the Universal Exposition or Great Exhibition, made its debut in Lon-don’s Hyde Park in 1851. It was designed as a way for nations to present their scientific innovations. The entire London exhibition was contained inside the Crystal Pal-ace, an enormous greenhouse structure made from cast iron and glass.

Perfect Pumpkin BreadA warm, comforting aroma of the

season will waft throughout your home when you bake this delicious and moist pumpkin bread that my neighbor passed on to me years ago. It never disappoints. It must be the smooth canned pumpkin that provides the consistent results.

Get your kids involved in the planning and shop-ping. Before you head for the grocery store, let them investigate and see if the spices and baking powder hiding in the back of your cupboard are out of date. Fresh is always best.

When it’s time to bake, gather the ingredients and basic tools you’ll need, and set out them out on the counter. Preheat the oven, put on aprons and get started. Measure, sniff, stir and talk together as you make and bake this spicy bread.

Serve slices warm with mugs of cider, and relax together as you experi-ence a new fall memory and one of the simple joys of family and home.

PERFECT PUMPKIN BREAD 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1½ cups sugar 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup canned pumpkin 1¾ cups flour 1/2 teaspoon each: ground cin- namon, cloves, allspice, nut- meg 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup raisins or coarsely chopped nuts, such as pecans or wal-nuts (optional)

1. Heat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour one 1-1/2-pound loaf pan. (Place parchment paper or waxed paper on the bottom of the pan for easy removal.)

2. In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugar, eggs and pumpkin until well-blended.

3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, spices, salt, baking soda and baking powder.

4. Stir dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture alternately with water. Fold in raisins or nuts, if you wish.

Pour into pan. Bake about 1 hour, or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan. Cool thoroughly before slicing. Makes one loaf.

TIP: While all the ingredients are out, make an extra loaf or two to give to others.

were used as a tool for nations to improve their image through their national pavilion displays. • The first World’s Fair held in the United States was the Centennial International Exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in that city. Close to 10 million visitors attended the fair, which was equal to about 20% of the U.S. population at that time. Several notable items made their debut at the fair, including Alexander Graham Bell’s tele-phone, Heinz ketchup, Hires root beer, a Remington typewriter, and a 1500-horsepower Corliss steam en-gine, which provided power for all the exhibits. Four buildings from the Exhibition still remain at the site. • The entrance arch to the 1889 World’s Fair was highly criticized as an eyesore, yet it has become one of the most recognizable structures in the world. Paris’ Eiffel Tower was built as part of the exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The designer, Gustave Eiffel, had a per-mit for the Tower to stand for 20 years and it was set for demolition in 1909. However, the Tower proved valuable for purposes of communications and the City

of Paris allowed it to remain. Upon its completion in 1889, at 1,063 feet tall (324 m), it was the tallest man-made structure in the world, an honor it held for 41 years. Today, it is the most-visited paid monument in the world, with 25,000 visitors daily, about 7 million annually. • St. Louis was chosen as the site of the 1904 World’s Fair to celebrate the centennial of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. The 1904 Summer Olympics were held there in conjunction with the fair, the first time they were held in the U.S. The field used for the track events is still in use today on the campus of Washington University. • Scientific innovations making their debut at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition included the X-ray machine, baby incubator, electric typewriter, and telephone answering machine.

• New York City has hosted three World’s Fairs – 1853, 1939, and 1964. At the 1853 exhibition, Elisha Otis demonstrated his elevator equipped with a safety brake. Three years later, America’s first passenger el-evator was installed by Otis in a five-story New York department store. Flushing Meadows Corona Park in the borough of Queens was the site of both the 1939 and 1964 fairs. The park was built on a site known as the Corona Ash Dumps, where ashes from coal-burn-ing furnaces were dumped, along with horse manure and garbage. Some of the buildings from the 1939 fair were used from 1946 to 1951 as the United Nations’ first headquarters before their move to permanent of-fices in Manhattan. • The Ford Motor Company presented its Mustang to the world for the first time at the 1964 New York fair. Shea Stadium home of the New York Mets, opened in conjunction with the exposition across from the fairgrounds. The Unisphere was the focal point of the 1964 exposition, a 12-story, 140-ft. (43-m) tall, 700,000-lb. (320,000-kg) stainless steel Earth, a land-mark that remains in the park today. The fair featured a special tribute to John F. Kennedy, who had broken ground for the pavilion in 1962, but was assassinated five months before the fair’s opening. • The Century 21 Exposition opened in April, 1962 in Seattle, with the spotlight on the newly-construct-ed Space Needle. At 605 feet (184 m), at the time it was the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River. Built to withstand earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitude and winds up to 200 mph (89 m/s), the foundation was laid in a 30-ft. deep (9.1 m) hole 120 feet (37 m) across. It took 467 cement trucks an entire day to fill the cavity. The elevator travels up the side of the Space Needle at 10 mph (4.5 m/s), a trip that takes about 41 seconds. The monorail and Key Arena (then known as Washington State Coliseum), and Pacific Science Center were also constructed to mark the opening of the exposition. • Seattle’s 1962 fair wasn’t the first held there.

The fairgrounds later became the campus of the University of Washington. • Montreal’s Expo 67 was one of the most success-ful World’s Fairs, with more than 50.3 million attend-ees. The former Major League Baseball team, the Montreal Expos, was named for the fair. • Expo 86, held in Vancouver, British Colum-bia, was the latest World’s Fair to be held in North America. It was officially opened by Prince Charles and Princess Diana, along with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Over 22 million people attend the Expo, yet it suffered a $311 million deficit. The Expo Cen-ter’s southeastern section was redeveloped for use as part of the Olympic Village at the Winter Olympics held in the city in 2010. • Eleven fairs have been held since Vancouver, in-cluding Expo 15, hosted by Milan, Italy, until this

October. Kazakhstan will host the 2017 exposition, and Dubai will be home to the 2020 fair.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

OTTO ROHWEDDERWhat’s the greatest thing since sliced bread? How about sliced bread itself? Here’s the scoop on one of the most beneficial inventions of the 20th century. • At age 20, Davenport, Iowa native Otto Rohwed-der moved to Chicago to pursue a degree in optom-etry at a college of ophthalmology in the Windy City. After a year in the profession, Otto made a drastic career change and began an apprenticeship with a lo-cal jeweler. At 25, he settled in St. Joseph, Missouri, and by 32, he had acquired three jewelry shops. In his spare time, he began tinkering with new inventions. • At 36, Rohwedder got out of the jewelry business and set out to solve a common household complaint.

• On Nov. 28, 1582, William Shakespeare, 18, and Anne Hathaway, 26, pay a 40-pound bond for their marriage license

in Stratford-upon-Avon. Six months later, Anne gives birth to their daughter, Susanna, and two years later, to twins.

• On Nov. 27, 1703, an unusual freak storm finally dissipates over England after wreaking havoc for two weeks. Packing hurri-cane-strength winds, the storm killed between 10,000 and 30,000 people, and sank hundreds of Royal Navy ships.

• On Nov. 29, 1929, American explorer Richard Byrd and three companions make the first flight over the South Pole. In 1996, a

diary of Byrd’s was found that seemed to suggest his plane had turned back 150 miles short of its goal because of an oil leak.

• On Nov. 23, 1936, the first issue of Life magazine is pub-lished, featuring a cover photo of the Fort Peck Dam. When it folded during the Great Depression, publisher Henry Luce bought the name and re-launched Life as a picture-based peri-odical.

• On Nov. 26, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs a bill officially establishing the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day. In 1789, President George Washington had proclaimed a holiday of national thanksgiving for the U.S. Con-stitution.

• On Nov. 24, 1971, a hijacker calling himself D.B. Cooper -- wearing only wraparound sunglasses, a thin suit and a raincoat -- parachutes from an airplane into a thunderstorm with 100-mph winds and temperatures well below zero over Washington state. Despite a massive search, no trace of Cooper or the $200,000 in ransom money he carried was ever found.

• On Nov. 25, 1990, after a howling wind- and rainstorm on Thanksgiving Day, Washington state’s historic floating Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge breaks apart and sinks to the bottom of Lake Washington. The bridge had been made of 22 floating pontoons.

In a fascinating book called “The Psychology of Birds,” shrink-turned-birdwatcher Harold Burtt applies the powers of psychoanalysis to our inscrutable feathered friends, e.g., “There’s no point in asking a bluejay why he is screaming.”

But, in a major scholastic oversight, Burtt forgot the turkey.

Modern Farmer has picked up where the book left off. After all, Americans wolf down 46 million of these birds each November; shouldn’t we at least try to relate? Using the combined wisdom of an Ohio turkey farmer named Bill Karcher, a poultry researcher named John Anderson and some 4H essays written for children, let us provide you with some armchair insight into tomorrow’s dinner.

LonelinessIt’s well-documented: Domesti-

cated turkeys always want to hang out. Even if they have lots of space to roam, they’ll stick tight; Anderson calls it “flocking up.” Remove a turkey from his friends, he’ll squawk and make a scene. They’re not real choosy -- Anderson has seen turkeys latch onto dogs or sheep in a pinch. He even has a turkey at home that trails him like a trained pooch.

Fear of DeathIn the poultry industry, stories make the rounds about

turkeys suffering heart attacks when their brethren head to slaughter. True or not, Karcher says that when a turkey dies in front of its flock, everyone else gets spooked. They all mope for a while, eating less and avoiding

the death site. Luckily they get over it after a few days. “They’re either really resilient, or they’ve got bad short-term memory,” Karcher says.

Growing PainsRight around the age of adoles-

cence, male turkeys start acting like punks. They seek attention in the most desperate ways, shoving each other around and generally being obnoxious. “It’s like teen humans,” says Karcher. “They don’t have the

good judgment that comes with maturity.”

Motherly LoveTurkey hens are like most mothers in nature -- mess

with their babies and they’ll totally freak. Karcher says it can be no easy task to collect eggs during laying sea-son. Typically docile hens have no problem rearing up and attacking a human. He says the male turkeys (toms)

also will get in on the action. “You take an egg, they’re going to flog the crap out of you with their wings,” he says.

A Need to Be HeardDo not mock the comical-sounding gobble -- it’s

a basic form of self-expression. It’s also only one of the noises turkeys make in a fairly complex arsenal of turkey commu-nication. Turkeys possess a vast range of gobbles, clucks and yelps, with meanings ranging from “I’ll take you on, big boy” (Acker’s words) to “I’m lost” or “I’m just waking up for the day.”

A Tidy MindYou’ve surely heard this one before -- in

a rainstorm, turkeys will supposedly crane their necks up and drown. This myth has been roundly disproven, yet it endures. Some claim it is the necessary folklore we use to justify mass turkey slaughter (i.e., it’s OK to kill dumb things). Dr. Karl Nestor suggests that turkeys aren’t dumb, but they do like a good rainstorm. It’s like a natural shower to wash them clean. He may just be speculating, but turkeys are always preening and tamping down their feathers, a not-quite-OCD display of hygiene.

Loaves of bread were sold whole, and housewives didn’t like slicing it! Rohwedder devised a brief questionnaire to determine the thickness of a slice that housewives would like to see. He placed ads in several large news-papers and within a few months had received 30,000 responses. • Work began on a prototype of a bread-slicing machine in 1916 in an abandoned warehouse. Rohwedder drew hundreds of blueprints with differing specifications. Tragedy struck in 1917 when his prototype and all of his blueprints were destroyed in a fire. • It was 10 years before Rohwedder had another machine

completed, but this one was much better. While his first machine had used long metal pins to hold the sliced loaf together, the new machine tightly wrapped the loaves in waxed paper. The contraption was 5 feet wide (1.5 m), 3 feet high (.9 m), and 6 feet (1.8 m) deep. After be-ing awarded a patent for the slicer, Rohwedder began searching for buyers and received mostly ridicule.• He finally persuaded a friend whose bakery was on the verge of bankruptcy to give it a try. Frank Bench, owner of Chillicothe Baking Company produced the first slices in July, 1928, and put it on the shelves as “Kleen Maid Sliced Bread.” Within two weeks, his bread sales had increased by 2,000%. The public loved sliced bread and the machine’s success was launched. • A 1928 issue of Modern Mechanics explained how the machine worked: “Two banks of thin sharp steel blades are utilized…While one blade moves upward, its immediate neighbor moves downward. As the blades pass through the soft bread, the loaf closes immediately behind the blades and keeps the air out… thus retaining the freshness of the loaf.” • Full-page ads declared that sliced bread was “the great-est forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped.” Before long, the slogan had been modified to include every new exceptional invention, referring to in-novations as “the greatest thing since sliced bread.” • Two years after the launch of the bread slicer, Con-tinental Baking Company introduced Wonder Bread in its bright, balloon-imprinted wrapper, with the word “Sliced” emblazoned in large letters. Their ad was a hap-py picture of families packing sandwiches for picnics. • In 1933, Rohwedder sold his rights to Iowa’s Micro-Westco Company and became vice-president and sales manager of the bakery machine division.

• In 1960, a beer bottler bought the building that had formerly housed the Chillicothe Baking Company. In the storage area was a pile of metal the owner thought was junk, which he promptly disposed of. He later learned it was Rohwedder’s original slicer. The Smithsonian is home to one of Rohwedder’s second design machines.

COLUMBIAN EXPOSITIONThe 1893 World’s Fair, held in Chicago, was offi-cially known as the World’s Columbian Exposition, commemorating 400 years since the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus to the Americas. More than 28 million people paid the admission price to tour the exhibits of 46 nations, built at a cost of more than $28 million. • The fairgrounds were referred to as the “White City,” because all buildings were covered with white stucco in order to resemble carved marble, and illu-minated with 100,000 electric lights. • Several commercial products were introduced at the fair, including Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, Cream of Wheat cereal, Juicy Fruit gum, Aunt Jemima pancake mix, and Cracker Jacks. Early versions of the dish-washer, fluorescent light bulbs, a milk sterilization machine, and the zipper also made their debut. • One of the main attractions was the world’s first Fer-ris Wheel, the invention of Pittsburgh bridge builder and steel magnate George Ferris, Jr. Towering 264 feet (804 m) in the air, the wheel had 36 cars that could accommodate 60 people each, allowing a to-tal of 2,160 riders at a time. Each paid 50 cents for the nine-minute ride, providing a boost to the fair’s shaky financial status, generating $395,000 in profit. The Ferris Wheel proved so popular that, after the conclusion of the fair, it was moved to Chicago’s North Side, where it operated for another 10 years. It was then dismantled and moved to St. Louis for their World’s Fair, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904. After its tenure there, the wheel was dyna-mited with 300 lbs. (136 kg) of explosives and sold for scrap in 1906. • In addition to its financial struggles, the fair ex-perienced several other tragedies. A smallpox epi-demic originated on the grounds in the summer of 1893 and had spread throughout Chicago by Autumn. Two days before the closing ceremonies, the city’s Mayor Carter Harrison was assassinated in his home.

• It was 20th-century American journalist Walter Lippmann who made the following observation: “Our conscience is not the ves-

sel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in con-science.”

• According to a recent analysis of data from the on-line music streaming service Spotify and artist populari-ty data from a website called The Echo Nest, Americans tend to stop listening to new music at the age of 33.

• John Tyler, born March 29, 1790, was the 10th presi-dent of the United States. He was married twice and had a total of 15 children. These children, collectively, were witness to a surprisingly large swath of American history. The oldest, Mary Tyler Jones, was born in 1815, the year that saw the end of the War of 1812; the young-est, Pearl Tyler Ellis, survived until 1947, two years after the end of World War II. President Tyler even has two grandsons who are still alive today.

The ceremonies were cancelled and replaced with a public memorial service for the mayor. Shortly after the close of the fair, many of the buildings were de-stroyed by fire. Seventeen people were killed in the blaze including 14 firefighters. The fire broke out in the Cold Storage Building, one of the fair’s largest structures. It was used to store perishable food used by the vendors, as well as housing an ice skating rink. The building was constructed with a 200-foot (61-m) iron chimney to run the refrigeration units. In keeping with the theme of the “White City,” builders added a decorative wooden cupola around the chimney. A serious fire hazard was created by placing the wood base just 30 inches (76 cm) above the chimney. • Of the more than 200 buildings constructed for the exposition, only one remains. Known as the Palace of Fine Arts in 1893, today it houses Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. • Most folks have seen a machine that flattens a penny, embossing it with a picture of various tour-

ist attractions. That machine was first seen at the Co-lumbian Exposition, and featured seven different let-tering designs for fairgoers to choose from for their souvenir.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been having weird spells for about six months. They occur only occasionally and last a couple of days and nights. They awaken me out of sleep and are a little frightening.

It starts with a burning sensation on the right side of my nose. I feel as if I have to remember something, and a wave of warmth floods over my upper torso, down to my arms. I feel my heart fluttering, and am a little sick to my stomach. I also have funny sensations in my right ear. It lasts a few seconds, and I just have to ride it out. When it’s over, I feel weak for a while.

I saw a neurologist, who mentioned that it might be anxiety, which made me mad -- being awakened out of a sound sleep doesn’t seem to me that I am anxious, as I have no trouble sleeping! He wanted to put me on a medication with a lot of side effects, such as dizziness and hallucinations. I do not want to be on medication, but I also don’t want to have a grand mal seizure. He could not tell me if I could have one or not. I only want affirmation that I am not crazy! -- L.G.

ANSWER: You aren’t crazy. Your neurologist may be right -- this can be related to anxiety -- but I wouldn’t jump to that diagnosis without considering a few things first.

A warm sensation over different parts of your body should make your doctor think of conditions like carcinoid syndrome and pheochromocytoma. These are tumors that secrete hormone-like substances that can cause odd feelings, such as flushing or warmth, in different parts of the body. They can be screened for with simple urine and blood tests. I agree with you that being awakened with this sensation makes anxiety or panic attack less likely. It does not sound like a seizure disorder to me.

Sometimes, people notice sensations that defy medical explanation. In that case, we generally just try to make sure it isn’t something that doesn’t threaten life or health and help people minimize and live with the symptoms.

Strange Spells May be Due to Anxiety

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We’re going to adopt a dog now that I’m 10 years old. I saw a pit bull puppy that I liked at the shelter, but my mom said no, because they’re vicious. My friend said that’s not true. What can I do to persuade her to adopt this dog? -- Braedon in Alpharetta, Ga.

DEAR BRAEDON: Before I answer, I do want to tell you that your mom has your best interests and safety in mind. And because of the many publicized incidents about pit bull attacks and aggressive behavior, her first reaction is to keep you from getting hurt.

Ultimately, she will be the one to approve the type of dog to adopt. But you can try to sway her opinion with a few myth-busting facts, courtesy of the American Pit Bull Association (americanpitbullfoundation.com/pit-bull-myths-debunked):

• Pit bulls’ temperament is often better than that of other breeds. In temperament testing (atts.org/breed-statistics/

Should Mom Let Boy Adopt Pit Bull?

By Sam Mazzotta

statistics-page1), American pit bull terriers had a passing rate of 86.8 percent, and other pit bull breeds scored above 82 percent -- well above the general dog population’s aver-age of 77 percent.

• Pit bulls originally were bred as working dogs and are typically energetic, intelligent and stubborn. Like other working breeds, they do best when socialized early with other dogs and humans, and with lots of training and attention.

• Pit bulls’ jaws are not stronger than other dogs, nor do they “lock” when they bite.

You and your mom should look for certain traits in every dog you’re considering. Each dog’s temperament

is unique; ask the shelter about current and past behavior. Meet a potential dog with as many family members as possible. And research each breed before deciding which dog to adopt.
