‘Hey... get your ash here,
from the mountain hole’
CAMP BAKER, Wash. (AP) — It took Mediterranean merchants
more than 1,500 years to get in the souvenir business after Mount
Vesuvius dumped on Pompeii Entrepreneurs in the vicinity of
Mount St. Helens were much quicker off the mark.
Within a few weeks after the mountain blew its lid with a fury of
500 Hiroshimas on Ash Sunday on May 18. 1980, the volcano
shlockmeisters were behind their counters
They peddled an amazing fallout of trivia ranging from Frisbees
and funny hats with the crown missing to before-and-after place
mats
The thought of Pompeii and its belated tourist trade is un
avoidable while flying around the Mount St. Helens crater
Vesuvius came to life August 29 in the year 79. burying Pompeii
under 15 feet of ash and Herculaneum under 60 feet of mud
Pompeii lay buried and forgotten until 1672, when a local land
owner named Count Sarno Muzio Tuttavilla decided to build an
irrigation canal at the edge of his vineyards The first thing you know
the laborers were digging up gold coins, bronze statues, lovely pots
called amphora, precious gems, even the skeleton of a Roman
centurion still in the stirrups of his skeleton horse The souvenir
business came to life and soon the palace of the Bourbon King of
the Two Sicilies and the homes of rich men all over Europe were
filled with knick knacks from the city A chap named Johann
Joachim Winckelman, who is now regarded as the father of
archaeology, got the authorities to call a halt to this robbing of
history's richest grave
They're finally getting the hang of it in Pompeii — you could buy
pumice stone jewelry and an ash wine flask guaranteed to blow off
the top of your head Some T-shirts were on sale, inscribed with the
graffiti found on Pompeii's walls, the famous "Romula Amat (loves)
Staphclus" and the even more famous (in translation) "Everyone
Writes on Walls, Except Me."
84-year-old’s obscene calls
might land her in the slammer
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP)
— A man who says that an
84-year-old woman has re
sumed harassing telephone
calls to him asked a state pro
secutor Monday to try to get the
woman's suspended jail sen
tence revoked
A Douglas Thompson, 58, a
retired painting and sandblast
ing contractor, said that Ger
trude Jamieson had been har
assing him with calls for at least
35 years He said his family had
six months of peace after
Criminal Court Judge Russell
Hinson gave her a suspended
six-month jail term last March,
but added that she had resumed
the calls last week
On Monday, Thompson asked
Assistant District Attorney Gen

asking Hinson to consider
revoking the suspended sen
tence If that were done, the
judge would have the option to
send her to jail.
