delcodude.......I had totally forgotten about the Mystery Theater....I think it was "CBS Mystery Theater" hosted by E.G. Marshall... I loved it...I would lay in bed in total darkness and listen to it. It was so amazing how your mind would imagine what each character looked like... And even some of the scary ones would give me goose-bumps. It is amazing what your mind can do.

I had the biggest crush on Tim Considine! I tried to watch anything he was in.
marty52 I don't know if it is the clothes that drive the attitude or the other way around, but I do know that when dressing up meant more than flip flops and shorts people were a lot more respectful toward others.

I can remember watching "Death Valley Days" with the host ..The Old Ranger. The Old Ranger was deemed too old to continue and was replaced with a young whipper-snapper named Ronald Reagan. The sponsor was "Twenty Mule Team Borax".
Curt, If I may stray for a minute... God bless the people that were killed, injured, lost friends and family in the horrific tornado outbreak a few days ago...Such a terrible heartbreaking disaster

Back in the 60's there was an local academic game show that pitted local high schools against one another. Maybe it was called "It's Academic" or maybe it wasn't..... The name Ted Ryan keeps popping in my head as the host. It was kind of a Jeopary contest . Anyone remember?

Bill68.....Thanks for the link to Applegate's Treasure. I'm 58 years old and I've been trying to remember that song for many years. All I could remember were the words gold dabloons. After watching the video I remembered how I used to love to imagine finding a treasure chest full of coins and jewels.
Do you know why all pirates are handsome?
They just Arrrrrrrrrrr.
Thanks for the memories.

Just read that James Arness AKA Matt Dillon has died at age 88. Gunsmoke (1955- 75)was a true quality TV show.
Just a side note - the article stated that this older person announced to his family that Matt Dillon died. The younger ones were all upset because they thought it was Matt Dillon the actor; the older person had never heard of Matt Dillon the actor. Generation gap!

Keugene... It seems like one of our childhood heroes passes every week... When we get older we realize that we are not immortal. When I was young I always had a crush on Miss Kitty. God bless all of our heroes from the 50's, 60's and 70's

Gunsmoke was indeed a great show. The show started on CBS radio where William Conrad, later to play a detective on the TV series Cannon played the part of Matt Dillon. Conrad was considered for the job of Matt Dillon on the TV show, as were Denver Plye (best known as "Briscoe Darling" the father of a family of hillbillies on the Andy Griffith show and as "Uncle Jesse Duke" on the show The Dukes of Hazzard) and Raymond Burr (most famous as Perry Mason and the handicapped detective on Ironsides).
My personnel favorite character was Milburn Stone as "Doc" Adams. I always wondered why he didn't get an office on the first floor. Whenever anyone got shot, they had to carry the injured person up a set of stairs on the side of the building!
"Chester Goode" was played by Dennis Weaver, who later played "Tom Wedloe" in the series Gentle Ben and the title character in the police spoof McCloud.
Chester served as Matt's side-kick and sometimes deputy. He always walked with a limp but if you watch his limp changes from one leg to the other a few times in the earliest shows.
He was later replaced as side kick by Burt Reynolds who played a blacksmith and finally by Ken Curtis who played "Festus Haggen", who later became Matt Dillon's only "official" full-time deputy. He always acted like he had a few too many drinks and rode a mule instead of a horse like the other characters. Supposedly, Curtis disliked horses and would not ride them in real life, so part of the character was built around his refusal to ride any horse.

Uncle Orrie - now, there was a truly intelligent guy. I was lucky enough to do a couple dozen Friday Uncle Orrie shows with my friend, Ted Center, who was a Junior Curator from the Dayton Museum Of Natural History. On Fridays Ted would bring home one of the animals and we'd walk up to the WHIO station in time to show the animal to the TV audience and to the kids at the show.
Uncle Orrie knew more about the animals than we did. And, as was said in the newspaper article posted earlier, he was very good with the kids - especially off camera. They don't make them like that one any more.

Music by Gus Edwards; Lyrics by Will D. Cobb, 1907
School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate
"I love you, so"
When we were a couple of kids
Nothing to do, Nellie Darling
Nothing to do you say
Let's take a trip on memory's ship
Back to the bygone days
Sail to the old village school house
Anchor outside the school door
Look in and see
There's you and there's me
A couple of kids once more
School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate
"I love you, so"
When we were a couple of kids
'Member the hill
Nellie Darling
And the oak tree
That grew on its brow
They've built forty storeys
Upon that old hill
And the oak's an old chestnut now
'Member the meadows
So green, dear
So fragrant with clover and maize
Into new city lots
And preferred business plots
They've cut them up
Since those days
School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days.
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate
"I love you, so"
When we were a couple of kids

As kids we'd sing the first verse, never knew any more and also we'd sing, "roll out the barrel, 'roll out the barrel of fun' which was all about drinking.
The advertisers had a glorious field day, ads for Coke Cola on billboards all over town and on TV after they invented and sold enough sets.
Also frequent ads for cigarettes and beer, none for pills or lawyers though. lol
Those who controlled these dangerous substances knew they were addictive, that was the idea, get us hooked and rake in the dough.
Coke and sugar were the original gateway drugs for kids, start them early, keep them addicts and move them up to alcohol and smokes as they grow. Born in summer of 42.

I have been pill free since the winter of 2004, I have decided that I'd rather not be a human than to take pills. The pills I was given after my aneurysm, I've researched and it seems that any one of them have fatal side effects, I know that Dilantin does, I took them for 4 months, bad stuff.
As a child the doctor would come to our place and treat us, give shots and stuff. We were quarantined once along with a lot of other families around 1948 - 49 but I forget what the cause was.
In the Forties and early Fifties Parkside was a good place to live and grow up, we not only had a gigantic field to play in along with the Miami river, Triangle Park, Island Park but we had hundreds of kids to play with. We didn't have fights nor anyone carry a weapon, no need.
In the summertime we had the shallow pool, sand boxes that were later cemented over, big huge swings, small swings, lots of trees, baseball fields, outdoor movies where our mom made giant bags of popcorn. I learned to play checkers.
There were never any threats or serious crimes that I knew of. The last time I visited there was in the early Seventies, didn't know anyone.
For any chemist who can invent a substance that is addictive and cheap to produce, riches await. All the major addictive substances have long been controlled by big business, Coke wasn't too happy about the upstart Pepsi, cut into their action and just as addictive, maybe more so. lol

Rodat6, you mentioned that Dilantin was bad stuff? What do you mean? Did you have side effects? I have a friend who has been on it for years and am a little worried about her.

Sorry, I just realized that I forgot to give the second question I asked Dr. Spetzler. It was, "does hard work cause strokes?" He immediately without hesitation said, "No, not at all, nothing to do with it."
Had the doctor said, yes, that they did, I would have been crushed.
I quit taking pills altogether and am eating healtier than before, I work up no longer physically addicted to tobacco and never started again. I no longer drink Coke or Pepsi during the day, high fructose corn syrup is blah, I drink water during the day only, I eat brown rice, no white as white happened to solve an early storage problem, remove the nutrients and the rodents won't eat it. Fact is when the Chinese went from brown, whole grain to white, stripping the rice and selling it to us, it was more common for children to have Rickets, weak bone mass, vitamin deficiency.
Rice with bean, equals a good protein, 1 without the other is a half.
I allow myself 1 hamburger per year (orbit) and to date averaging 1 every 5.

Rod, I did Google Dilantin and learned that normally someone should be weaned off it by gradually cutting down the dossage. Re nicotine, I have never smoked in my life, but have a twin brother who used to smoke like a chimney. I was reading something recently and learned that the tobacco companies sent millions of packs of cigarettes to the troops overseas for free during WWII....their so-called "tobacco ration." What a platform for addicting and selling a product when the troops return home. Any other time such a marketing plan would have seemed brilliant. Instead it proved deadly and heartless. It still amazes me that thinking human beings continue to take up this habit - what with all that is known today about tobacco. And for Curt, did you ever think that www.daytonhistorybooks.com might one day possibly save a life?

'save a life' - Doug68
That's not save a life but life longer as a human would be more correct,lol, as it is natural and necessary that we shed our body of flesh and bone. Totally natural.
Also could being a species of animal on a planet (glob of space compost) be the zenith of life? No way Man, not even close.
I work problems out in binary which is simple logic. I have been studying what it is to be a human on a planet that's orbiting a large star then counting how many times we have made a complete orbit in relation to ourselves in order to figure out our age. Funny really, kind of backwards but hey, when the powers push constantly all these substances which have dangerous side effects plus highly addicting, you begin to wonder just where we are?
Then a plant that absorbs healthy sunshine and nutrients from the earth with little earthworms crawling around, totally natural, not physically addicting, anyone could grow it and make it a felony, does not compute or make sense unless we will agree that we are fairly new life, not particularly intelligent as evidenced by no world or neighborhood peace, rank, destructive piggish capitalism making it difficult for someone to have a home-site where they can feel secure from eviction, then we are on our way to a better, more children friendly world.
Sorry Doug, lost my sentence... Perhaps Curt could rename this thread, Philosophers of Dayton... for down the road people.
I was saying that if we agree that we each are in a character generator and whether by design or happenstance, that is where we are. We pay a high price emotionally for figuring out a piece of the eternal puzzle and you remember it, it becomes a part of us, maybe that's a bad example... here is a better one:
New Orleans 1969, May, French Quarter, after the party, no alcohol, in VW van and a feeling comes over me that I am going to die. I fought it best I could, took like forever to find a parking place in the Quarter, lay down in the back, death is waiting for me. I feel like I am dying for real and I had never entertained the thought before, figuring others die, not me. I was freaking out from this very real feeling that death was close, my body was shutting down, I was scared, almost panicked. What I went through in that experience and other off the wall happenings that helped me understand the right way, helped me see love and understand hate. That's my character, we are the sum of our experiences. The point being, if those experiences were eliminated form my being, from memory including the brain aneurysm, I'd be a shell of my former self, I would be lacking in understanding that I have gained. Important understanding.
In reality I don't believe that anything can really hurt us, Mother Nature is there always.
Thus far I have had 3 death experiences and it's not that I am afraid to chuck off my body and vibrate at a frequency that human or any species of animal can see, well maybe the dolphin, not sure but vibrate out of human range from the sudden weight loss. lol Easy to do.
I have been into philosophy since I was a kid sitting on McCook Street just outside the side entrance to the theater, on the curb and eating a Baby Ruth, about 1949 vintage. Thinking that for every problem there was a solution, maybe it was the candy bar rush?
On Google street I can see almost where I was sitting but in the Poor Dayton Youtube series there is a Parkside video that spots it. I remember that moment and my thought. I have a hard time stopping... sorry. I don't take pills or use alcohol, I can go weeks with no coffee but like the taste of Colombian Whole Bean in a burr grinder with spring water from time to time.

@ Doug, also in addition to giving out free smokes to our service personnel, some were no doubt killed from the hot ash of the cigarette, soldiers on all sides who became addicts. Why did they purposely addict us? Was it for the gold and silver which today are only numbers?
Coke Cola was also a major addiction, the U.S. built Coke plants in Europe, soldiers who were addicts could not wake up and feel normal with out their cola syrup and pure cane sugar, not to forget the caffeine which replaced the cocaine that Tom Edison, Sigmund Freud, the Pope and notable others used. Smoke a cigarette with the Coke, now you are in heaven.
Processing left barrels of a rich gooey syrup that could not continue being dumped by the New Jersey boys where the South American Coca leaf was sent for processing. They couldn't keep dumping in the woods or in streams so they hired a chemist from Atlanta to come up with the solution. He did, add sugar, caffeine, chill and sell for a nickle. Solved a dumping problem. Imagine what NJ would be like now if they had continued dumping it, lol.
Round-Up is toxic waste that is sold for $8.88 a gallon to spray on plants that you don't like rather than pulling them and poisoning the environment even more. It's marketed like Coca Cola, they could not keep dumping it so they advertise and sell it to consumers, use females in tight shorts to say how fun it is, twice as expensive as gasoline.

Does anyone remember the late night movie with Ignotz Hammerslob? I used to watch it on Friday night back in the mid 50's. I don't remember his real name. He was a real funny guy. At the end of the movie there was always a movie played of all the people at the studio chasing him out into the parking lot. I think it was on chanel 7.

"School Days" was on Uncle Al, by the way.
As for Uncle Orrie, I remember visiting his farm for our 1st grade field trip. Only things I remember are the smell (I'd never smelled a farm before) and that he had dyed all the baby chicks in various colors -- green, red, blue. We thought it was great then, but now it seem pretty sick.

Perry401, Chuck was chief videographer when I was at 7. He, Tamaska and the other photographers used to all shoot 16 mm film until video cameras became portable enough to take into the field. Nearly every videographer I worked with are still at Ch. 7. Byron Stirsman, Dee Moorman, Larry Moore, Mike Campbell, James Robinson who is the current chief videographer.
