Opinion* surely differ about which month it the moat hectic, the busiest
month of the year Some persons may find for various reasons that a winter
month swamp* them most, but many who have any connection with school*
or who are interested in Hardening, who belong to a few organizations that
have spring meetings or who are eager to gel certain tasks done before
summer heat sets in probably vote for May as the busiest of months
In Morrow ( ounty this month when the lilacs are so pretty saw much
activity
On Tuesday. May It. f red Toombs led a SOth Anniversary celebration of
the KF.A at the Chamber of Commerce meeting He invited Harold Peck to
give a talk about the good old days before rural electrification That talk
was so interesting and thought provoking that I wanted to do some checking
on several things Harold began by asking if anyone present happened to
have a wooden match, and he was really surprised when County
Commissioner Irvin Kaueh produced one from his pocket
I looked up the history of match making not the romantic typo but the
industry that made Sweden s Ivar Krueger a millionaire well over 70 years
ago Matches were first being developed about 1852 after many years of
struggling with various types of fire lighters The Knglish and the Trench
began using phophorus tips on their lighters and some of these tips caused
severe health problems, particularly a disease named necrosis Matches
were beginning to be internationally markrted early in this century They
were heavily taxed by the C S until a young navel architect. William
Fairburn. solved the problem by adapting a formula for sexquisulfide of
phosphorus for the tips which ended the threat of necrosis
After "Shorty s amusing, first hand account of pre KKA farm life Fred
Toombs showed a dandy film about the birth and growth of rural
electrification which caused me to review more history and to lear a lew
facts about that form of energy which we know by what it does It was
surprising to read that man tiegan to learn about electricity hundreds of
years before the birth of Christ Thales of Miletus a Greek philosopher who
lived about «xi B C . rubbed a piece of amber with a cloth and observed that
the amtier then attracted bits of feathers and the pith of plants Our word for
electricity comes from "elektron" the Greek word for amber From the
Middle Ages on many scientists in many places worked at developing
practical applications for this wonderful form of energy which has mi
improved all our lives
Although summer doesn't officially arrive until June 21, Morrow County
has already had a taste of it as May draws to its close
