[Summit] Winter 2014 edition of Summit News: Full-color edition!

[Hope for Health]

Denise,

There are some problems with many of the products we use, but rock salt is not on the top of my list of concerns.  You don't want your kids or dogs to be licking it up, and it does have environmental shortcomings, but there are many worse things - and it is used in a limited time span and purpose.  

I took a look at some info on the web, and the best short comments that came up were at;  www.ehow.com/info_12025840_can-use-instead-rock-salt-ice-driveways.html.

Blessings,

Liberty G

I saw the bundles of the Berkeley Daily Gazette hit the streets every day when I was a paper boy back in the '50s in Berkeley -- each bundle hit the sidewalk with a distinctive big muffled thud!  You knew when and where your bundle would be dropped from the truck, you went there ahead of time with your canvas shoulder bag (with the paper's name printed on it) and your simple wire cutter, you cut the wire on your bundle, you folded each paper in the special way that was good for throwing, and you set out walking your route.  You threw each folded paper from the sidewalk to the front door, and when you had thrown them all, you went home.  Each week you walked your route to collect the fee from each home, gave the paper representative the specified percentage of the total due, and kept the rest (plus any tips) as your pay for the work.  If anyone refused to pay, you could cut their subscription off for the following week, but the missing money had to be
 paid to the newspaper anyway, so it came out of your own profit for the route that week.

>Actually, it is an old newspaper saying. After the papers were printed, they were bundled and loaded on trucks which took them to news stands. The truckers tossed the bundles onto street corners for newsboys to pick up, thereby "hitting the streets." So think of yourselves as carrying on a fine old tradition with the proper jargon, rather than taking a swan dive into a snowbank.
