nnually, Hopatcong schools host an open house for

students and parents prior to the first day of school.

This is a time to calm students nerves about thenew school year, their teacher, the school, etc. To make stu-

dents and parents feel extra welcomed the superintendent

and board of education hosted an ice cream social for every-

one. Not only was the event a huge success but it was a time

for the superintendent, Cynthia Randina, to meet and greet

the school community for the first time. Mrs. Randinas

expertise, approachability, and passion are the underlying

forces to improve the district. She has ignited a strategic

overhaul in the districts vision, instruction, and curriculum

initiatives. Mrs. Randina is strategically putting Hopatcong

Schools back in the game.

It was a bright, warm, and vibrant filled morning onSeptember 3, 2013 when the staff began the first day of the

start of the 2013-14 school year for Hopatcong Borough

Schools. Teachers, counselors, and administrators, all gath-

ered together as one district; one family; with one commit-

ment to their profession and to the students of Hopatcong

Schools. The superintendent, Cynthia Randina, welcomed

everyone back from a rejuvenating summer and presented a

motivational welcome back speech. She provided an

overview of the districts vision, instructional plan, and cur-

riculum initiatives, in conjunction with an inspirational

New Superintendent = New Hopatcong!

speech which depicted her outlook and plans for the upcom-

ing school year.

Mrs. Randina stated that she is certain the staff can be

the change they want to see in the world, but more impor-

tantly, in Hopatcong Schools. She advised staff to stay pos-

itive and spread that positivity in each aspect of their being.

Hopatcong Schools have much to be proud of and changing

perception is the first step. The superintendent is committed

to supporting teachers, students, and parents in providing

the tools they need to progress student learning. Her mes-

sage is clear: educators have a tough job, but together we

can achieve our goals because we believe Hopatcong

Schools offers a world class education. The goal is to have

everyone believe it and then make it happen. What you put

out in the world is what you receive, so Hopatcong is on the

brink of reaching their highest potential.

n an effort to rein in Medicare spending,

several Washington lawmakers are con-

sidering some harmful cost-cutting

plans. Of significant concern is the propos-al to trim Medicare Part B's spending by

slashing physician reimbursement rates for

Part B drugs. This could cause patients to

lose access to much-needed care.

Part B covers drug treatments for serious

illnesses that must be administered in doc-

tors offices. Under the Part B system,

physicians purchase the required medicines

and then are reimbursed by Medicare

according to a standard "average sales

price" (ASP), plus an additional fee to cover

the shipping, storage, and administrativeexpenses associated with the medicines.

That add-on is set at 6 percent.

But under the federal budget cuts known

as sequestration, which kicked in on April 1,

doctors saw ASP +6 percent payment effec-

tively reduced to ASP +4 percent due to an

across the board 2 percent payment cut. And

that may not be the end of the cuts.

Lawmakers previously have discussed cut-

ting the Part B drug add-on to a mere 3 per-

cent -- and amid continuing fiscal debates,

Congress may consider this additionalreduction again later this year.

The trouble is, lower reimbursement

rates will be simply unsustainable for doc-

tors, and patients will suffer the conse-

quences.

The latest squeeze comes at a time whencommunity-based cancer centers are

already under strain. Eighty percent of can-

cer patients are treated in the community

setting, but during the past four and a half

years, nearly 250 oncology clinics have

closed nationwide and another 400 report

facing financial difficulties.

More cuts will inevitably lead to more

closures.

If doctors stop offering certain types of

drugs or close up shop altogether, patients

will be left in a bind. Some may have totravel further to get treatment, racking up

transport and lodging charges. Others may

have to seek care in a hospital setting,

which may be a more costly alternative for

patients and taxpayers alike.

A 2011 study from the consulting group

Milliman found that Medicare cancer

patients who receive chemotherapy at hos-

pitals saw expenses 14 percent higher than

did those chemotherapy patients who got

treatment at doctors' offices.

Our leaders must resist lowering the PartB drug reimbursement rate.

The Most Painful Medicare CutFortunately, two New Jersey representa-

tives -- Republican Leonard Lance and

Democrat Bill Pascrell -- are already doing

just that. Their joint effort proves this is not

a partisan issue, but one that affects ourfriends and neighbors.

Approximately 50,000 New Jersey resi-

dents receive a cancer diagnosis each year.

They need high-quality, accessible, afford-

able care. Others should join

Representatives Lance and Pascrell's stance

to protect the healthcare they deserve.

For the last decade, Part B has worked

well. Any more cuts to doctor reimburse-

ment rates will hurt patients in the name of

savings that may never be realized. For thesafety of patients, our lawmakers and lead-

ers should fight to keep Medicare Part B off

the budget chopping block.

pples! They are a symbol of the fall.

And what better way to usher in the

season than with the Annual Apple

Festival at the United Presbyterian Churchin Flanders. Held on Saturday, September

28th from 10am 4pm, the festival

includes a live auction, bake sale, bounce

house, hayrides, and much more. The

church is located at 58 Drakesdale Road in

Flanders. Raindate for the festival is

Saturday, October 5th.

If you are looking for a great, totally

safe place to spend a day with your family

and have some fun, good food and great

company, the United Presbyterian Church

in Flanders is the place to be on September28th, said church member Tom Speer

Speer explained that the Apple festival

has been held annually for about the past 13

years. The idea for the festivals name came

about because of the apple-related baked

goods sold. However, the festival has a vari-

ety of other offerings as well.

A live auction will be held from 1pm to

4pm. The auctioneer is congregation mem-

ber, Lisa Fassett. Speer noted that they are

still collecting items, but to date, there are

free night stays and breakfast at a couplelocal hotels good for a year, multiple pizza

shop pizzas, tickets to sporting events,

signed sports autographs, and more. We

usually end up with nearly 75 items to auc-

tion off.

There will be a variety of goodies anditems to buy. We have a baked goods

table, hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, cold

drinks and more to keep you fed, said

Speer. He noted that there will be vendors

selling things including farm produce, jew-

elry, bird houses, and fishing equipment. At

the book sale table, people will be able to

find both hard and softcover books. Also,

there is a just two bucks table where

people will find many new and maybe

slightly used articles selling for just a cou-

ple of bucks.The fun includes demonstrations and

childrens games. We are planning on hav-

ing both a local martial arts studio and an

Irish step dance group perform a demonstra-

tion. Demonstrations will be from 10 am

until 1pm, said Speer. In addition, there

will be childrens toss games, hayrides, and

a bounce house.

In the spirit of giving, a bloodmobile will

be on site.

Speers shared , All proceeds [of the fes-

tival] are retained by the church for use inspecial unbudgeted projects throughout the

(L to R) Cindy Peach and Lisa Silkowski man last year's homemade baked goods table at

the Apple Festival.

Macculloch Hall. The Museum has a rich history, and contin-

ues to be a cornerstone of our community. This is an honor for

me.""Passion," "skill," "mastery" and even "genius" are terms

regularly used to describe Mr. Forster's talents. Mr. Forster

moved to the United States in 2005, embarking on a major

recording career which includes 17 albums, and a life-time

project: recording the 32 complete piano sonatas ofBeethoven, available as Beethoven: Magnificent Obsession.

"I breathe and experience Beethoven's every emotion, which

spans love, drama, passion, desperation, beauty, and dark-

ness," said Forster. His prolific career includes tours as a

soloist, performing with major symphony orchestras through-

out the world, recording, and teaching children at the Piano

School of New York City. Born in Buenos Aires in 1975, Mr.

O

n May 13, 2013, after successfully

completing a rigorous two-day

examination in Chicago, Dr. IraGoldberg, DDS, FAGD, MICOI, joined

only 411 dentists in the world as a

Diplomate of the American Board of Oral

Implantology / Implant Dentistry, becoming

one of the nations leading experts in

implant care.

Dr. Goldberg, founder of Morris County

Dental Associates, LLC in Succasunna, hasbeen placing and restoring implants for over

16 years. He holds various degrees in

implant associations, but this latest award is

a true sign of his skill and knowledge in the

field of implant dentistry. To earn the title

Local Dentist, Dr. Ira Goldberg, One of 414 in the WorldAwarded Diplomate Status

of Diplomate, Dr. Goldberg faced a compre-

hensive written and oral examination,

including presenting cases for review by anexpert panel of implant dentists. During the

oral portion, Dr. Goldberg had to defend his

treatment of complex cases covering topics

such as alternate options, decision making,

complications and maintenance. The writ-

ten exam consisted of 400 questions,

answered over an 8 hour period. The exam-

ination process measured the in-depth

knowledge, proficient skills and abilities

required for practitioners to provide com-

prehensive, safe and effective oral implant

care for the public.This was by far the most difficult exam

Ive ever participated in, but I understand

why it is so extensive, says Dr. Goldberg.

Implant dentistry is not a recognized spe-

cialty, which means any dentist can place

and restore implants, regardless of their

training. ABOI wants to ensure candidates

that pass this comprehensive exam, are truly

experts in implant dentistry and can present

appropriate solutions based on a patients

needs and well-being. In addition, they

want to ensure we complete continued edu-

cation, are versed in the latest technologies

and can excel in implant complications and

maintenance.Dr. Goldberg routinely performs all three

disciplines of implant dentistry: bone regen-

eration (grafting), implant placement and

implant restoration, all in his office. Some

uses of implants include: single tooth

replacement, multiple teeth replacement,

denture stabilization, denture replacement,

and failing teeth solutions. This last cate-

gory has become an extremely viable option

for people who suffer from an endless cycle

of tooth pain, failing root canals, constant

tooth fracture, and cavities, explains Dr.Goldberg.

The ABOI/ID was founded in 1969 and

conducts examinations to determine the

qualifications and competence of dentists

who voluntarily apply to the Board for cer-

tification. The Board is sponsored by the

American Academy of Implant Dentistry.

Dr. Goldberg holds a private practice in

Succasunna in the Roxbury Mall and offers

free consultations to patients.

Grooming Industry leader European Wax Center,

which provides luxury services at an affordable

price has opened its 30th location in the State of

New Jersey. The new wax center is located at 275 Rt 10E in

the Roxbury Mall, next to Panera Bread and will bring itsquality services to residents and local businesses in the

northwest New Jersey.

European Wax Center delivers the most effective and

painless wax experience possible. Their unique COM-

FORT WAX, a hard wax made from 100% natural

beeswax, was designed to optimize the guest's comfort and

has revolutionized the grooming experience. Additionally,

European Wax Centers wax specialists perform each wax

using their exclusive 4 Steps to Gorgeous skincare

process, which is packed with antioxidants and vitamins.

These specially designed products are not only great for

your skin, but they make waxing less painful and last

longer. European Wax Center prides itself on providing an

efficient, sanitary, luxurious waxing experience.

Jessica Coba, co-founder of European Wax Center,

explains, Modern waxing is about feeling confident, sexy,

and pampered. However, this practice is often believed to

be for the 'privileged' leaving consumers with two unap-

pealing options: the cheap, corner nail salon with question-

able sanitary practices or the elegant, but over priced spa.

We needed to rally women and men around a new option

thats for everyone: European Wax Center is that option.

We are thrilled to be expanding the European Wax

Center experience throughout New Jersey says Judy Cook,

Franchisee partner of European Wax Centers Roxbury

European Wax Center Opens New Succasunna Location

Mall location. We believe that high quality waxing should

be accessible to everyone and can be incorporated into

everyone's regular routine and skincare regime.

With the great success of Denville, European Wax

Center, Judy Cook of Mountain Lakes was offered this

dynamic location on Route 10 East to develop yet another

center. She partnered with her long time friends, Frank and

Diane Lupo of Randolph. It took two years to complete and

open. Upon opening in the end of July, they see this center

being another top center in the nation.

Today, European Wax Center is recognized as the leader

in comfortable and hygienic waxing. With the addition of

the Roxbury Mall location, luxurious waxing can be incor-

porated into the regular routine and skincare regime.

According to AutoGuide.com, the

Toyota Corolla is the number one

selling vehicle of all time. Since pro-

duction on the Corolla began in 1966, the

Japanese automaker's beloved sedan has sold

more than 37.5 million units. While its rela-

tively low price tag and reputation for fuel

efficiency likely played a role in propelling

the Corolla to its status as the most popular

automobile of all time, the vehicle that is sec-

ond fiddle to the Corolla might come as a sur-

prise. With roughly 35 million units sold

since its introduction in 1948, the Ford F-

Series truck line is the second best selling

vehicle of all time. The popularity of the F-

Series line of pickup trucks is perhaps a

byproduct of its various incarnations, such as

the smaller F-150 and the much larger and

more powerful F-450. Rounding out the topfive are the Volkswagon Golf, which has sold

27.5 million units since it was first introduced

as the Rabbit in 1974; its older sibling, the

Volkswagon Beetle, which has sold 23.5mil-

lion units since its introduction 80 years ago;

and the Ford Escort, which has sold 20 mil-

lion units despite being discontinued in 2000.

any pairs are fea-

tured on the

Amazing Race, a

reality TV show where twopeople with a form of per-

sonal relationship take part

in a competition that travels

around the world. Typical

pairs include parent/child

teams, best friends, co-

workers, and family mem-

bers. This fall, a team of

exes from Morristown will

add a bit of drama and

uncertainty to the mix.

The team consists of 32-year-old sports marketer

Timothy Sweeny and 29-

year-old fitness trainer

Marie Mazzochi. Together,

the ex-couple will be one of

11 teams who are compet-

ing in an adventure around

the globe for $1 million dol-

lars. The newest seasons of

the Amazing Race will pre-

miere on Sunday,

September 29, at 8 pm on

CBS.

With an event that is

already full of stress and

tension, where competitors

are often pushed to theirlimits and forced to face

less-than-ideal situations,

the pairing of Sweeny and

Mazzochi may seem odd to

the majority of viewers. The

team members agree that

their situation is not opti-

mal.

One issue that they must

face during their time on the

show is an apparent lack of

communication. Mazzochinotes that neither she nor

Sweeny listens to one

another, yet both insist that

they are right. She observes,

We both just yell at the

same time, and adds that

this behavior often leads to

unresolved issues.

Sweeny then offers his

opinion on his partner, stat-

ing that she frequently

loses perspective and

tends to forget the bigger

picture. Complicating the

matter, he continues, is the

fact that she becomes

obsessed with being right,rather than solving the prob-

lem.

A pre-competition Q &

A session on the CBS web-

site provides more insight

into the teams character

and their differences. When

asked to name a famous per-

son who reminds him of his

teammate, Sweeny picks a

blend between Jillian

Michaels and Paris Hilton,since she is aggressive, a

socialite, likes Chihuahuas,

Starbucks, and is manipula-

tive. The same question

was asked of Mazzochi,

who notes that her team-

mate is similar to Ryan

Lochte because hes in

love with himself.

Both teammates agree

that their ultimate goal is to

win the competition, with

Exes Pair Up for This Fall's Amazing RaceSweeny stating that he

would like to learn how to

effectively work together

throughout the process. The

teammates have decidedthat one of the biggest chal-

lenges for them during the

competition will be the

issue of listening to one

another.

Throughout the Q & A

session, Sweeny and

Mazzochi shared more

about their personal lives.

Sweeny is excited to travel

because it makes you

smarter, more cultured and

allows for an opportunity to

experience a different cul-

ture. Mazzochi responds to

the same question by saying

that she is excited to see dif-ferent cultures and places,

and that she has never

before traveled outside of

the U.S.

Several other teams join

Mazzochi and Sweeny for

this season of the Amazing

Race. Some of the fellow

competitors include former

NFL teammates, a pair of

baseball wives, married ER

doctors, and best friends.

During this season, the

teams will travel throughout

four continents and nine

countries, covering more

than 35,000 miles of ground

in the process.

According to the most recent infor-

mation from forecaster

TrueCar.com, the average price for

a new car or light truck is $30,303. This fig-

ure represents a roughly $1,200 increase

from 2011. People looking to get a deal by

purchasing a used car won't find much

relief, as even used car prices have

increased. But people trading in a used car

for a new one may be able to get more

money on the trade-in or sale of a used car

than in the past, which should help to defray

some of the cost of the more pricey newer

model.

Aloha Mind Math

presents parents with

5 essential education

and life principles to help

children excel as they pre-pare to go back to school.

Teach Your Child to

Reach for the Stars

Have them write down

their hopes and visions each

year. Throughout life we

have the tendency to let go of

our lofty goals because of

fear. Lead them to talk open-

ly about their hopes and

dreams. Be supportive.

Encourage your child to not

give up, especially during

challenging times and, espe-

cially when obstacles get in

the way. Support your chil-

dren to dream big. Parents

can create a book of their

vision. Ask them to draw

what they want to be, write a

brief paragraph explaining

what they would do, and

what it would mean to them

to achieve their dream. By

them putting their ambitions

on paper helps the child visu-

alize their aspiration.

Allow and Teach Your

Child to be Inquisitive

Inventors like Ben

Franklin and Steve Jobs were

innately curious about why

and how things worked.Provide your kids opportuni-

ties to think outside the box.

Take them to a Science and

Industry Museum or a

Childrens Discovery

Museum. Provide options

where active learning can

take place up close in differ-

ent environments.

Teach Your Child the

Importance of Education

Obtaining a college edu-

cation and buying a house

are some of the American

dreams. Attending college

may seem like a lifetime

away to children or an

unachievable dream, but

once achieved no one can

take away your diploma or

degree.

Children need to be self-

assured in who they are to

ask probing questions. In

order for a child to be inquis-

itive it is also important he or

she feels comfortable asking

and answering questions

either in class, after class,

after school, and at home.

Teach Your Child to

Accept Mistakes and Learn

from ThemThey are starting a new

school year which means

new teachers, friends, and

new concepts. They may

meet many challenges in the

school year. Teach your child

to allow themselves to

accept, but learn from their

mistakes. The next step is to

instruct them on how to solve

their own problems.

Teach Your Child to

Realize They Can Do

Anything They Put Their

Mind to Do

The mind is miraculous.

Parents usually see the capa-

bilities and talents of their

children long before they do.

This is likely why some chil-

dren may by surprised of

their own successes when

others knew they had the

ability all along. Give them

nudges of encouragement.

Provide constructive feed-

back. Most of all consistently

tell your children they can be

whatever they want to be and

achieve whatever they want.

How did Howard Schultz,

founder of Starbucks, who

grew up in the projects in

Brooklyn achieve success

and build a household name?

In his own words, "I wasn't

afraid to create a company

that no one initially believed

in Dream more than others

think practical. Expect more

than others think possible.

Care more than others think

wise."

Astrong cover letter may not guarantee you land a

good job, but a poor cover letter may guarantee you

won't. On its own, an effective cover letter can

catch the eye of hiring managers tasked with finding wor-

thy candidates among stacks of applications, while a poor

cover letter may ensure hiring managers never even glanceat an applicant's resume.

An effective cover letter should be concise, conveying

an applicant's work history and goals in a few paragraphs or

less. The following are some additional ways men and

women can craft effective cover letters.

* Address a specific person when possible. When

responding to a job posting that listed a specific contact,

address your cover letter to that person rather than begin-

ning the letter with, "Dear Sir or Madam" or "To Whom It

May Concern." Personalize each cover letter you write so

the hiring manager does not get the feeling that you are

sending out cover letters en masse. Make sure names are

spelled correctly and job titles are accurate.* State your purpose early on. The purpose of your let-

ter, which is to state the job you're seeking, should be made

clear early on. Hiring managers often handle the vetting

process for a host of positions at their companies, so the

earlier the hiring manager knows which position you're

applying for the better. Hiring managers may become frus-

trated when applicants don't make their intentions clear or

Crafting An Effective Cover Letter

Welcome to Morris County! Thats how the staff at

the Morris County Tourism Bureau, located at 6

Court Street in Morristown, greet walk-in visi-

tors to our area from around the world. People visit the

office from every continent. In just one recent week people

on holiday from France, England and New Zealand came

into the office seeking maps, brochures and advice on

things to do locally. In fact, nearly 2,500 people visit the

Tourism Bureau each year and tourism to Morris County is

a $1.8 billion dollar industry benefitting local historical and

cultural attractions, restaurants and hotels.

The Tourism Bureau was begun in 1997 with a small

staff of one, Leslie Bensleythe current executive director.

Over the years the staff and its responsibilities have grown.

The office has biennially produced the official Morris

County Visitors Guide and the latest version is due out this

fall. It will be a Special Edition in honor of two events of

historic proportion: the 2014 Super Bowl set to be played

on February 2nd in MetLife Stadium and a celebration of

New Jerseys 350th anniversary (New Jersey was settled in

1664).

The NFL has estimated that the economic benefit to the

metropolitan area due to the Super Bowl will reach $500

do so in the final paragraph instead of the first.

* Explain why you are a qualified candidate. While it's

good to note your work history, your resume will do the

bulk of that legwork. A cover letter is your opportunity to

show how your work history makes you a qualified candi-

date for a specific position. Remember to be concise butrelate a specific example that illustrates how your work his-

tory would help you thrive in the position for which you're

applying.

* Exhibit some knowledge about the company to which

you're applying. An effective cover letter should help you

stand out among your fellow applicants, and expressing

some knowledge about the organization can do just that.

The goal here is to illustrate how you and the organization

are a good fit, so you don't need to go overboard or be too

specific. But hiring managers are likely to be more

impressed by applicants who do their homework and show

a knowledge of the company than applicants who submit aform cover letter where the company is scarcely mentioned.

* Be cordial in your closing. A cover letter should close

with a cordial request for an interview or a friendly way of

indicating you look forward to a company's response to

your application. In addition, thank the reader for his or her

time and mention you would be delighted to answer any

questions he or she may have.

An effective cover letter can go a long way toward mak-

ing a strong first impression on a prospective employer.

Men and women should look at their cover letters as their

first opportunities to connect with a company and write

their letters accordingly.

Fall brings with it beautiful weather,cool breezes and colorful foliage.

Celebrate all of the beauty, fun and

flavors of the season with your family. Take

a hike, visit a pumpkin patch, plan a party or

spend the afternoon baking autumn-inspired

treats.

Here are a few fun ideas to enjoy fall

with your family:

One traditional fall favorite is apple

butter. Crisp apples are cooked slowly until

the sugars caramelize into a deep, rich fla-

vor. Thats also the way Musselmansmakes it. Spread it on toast, pancakes or

other baked goods. It is also a great way to

add a new flavor to your favorite, familiar

dishes. For tips and recipes, such as apple or

pumpkin dips, visit www.musselmans.com.

Take your family to the pumpkin patch.

Pick a pumpkin or enjoy playgrounds, hay

rides, corn mazes, petting zoos, hay forts

and farm tours found at many patches. Take

a picnic and enjoy the day.

Celebrate autumn with a potluck.

Encourage guests to bring dishes made with

classic fall flavors like caramel, pumpkin,apples and warm spices. Simply adding

apple butter to favorite family recipes will

give a cinnamon apple flavor to much loved

dishes.

Those lucky enough to live in an area

where leaves turn breathtaking shades of

bronze, yellow, orange and red should take

advantage of the natural beauty with a fam-

ily hike or slow drive through the country.

Every autumn, nature puts on a brilliant

color show in many parts of the country.

The beautiful weather, colorful backgroundand traditional activities are the perfect

excuse to embrace fall fun with your fami-

ly.

Edison claimed When I got to the first sta-

tion on the run I found the device had

worked beyond my expectations. The plat-

form literally was crowded with men andwomen anxious to buy newspapers.

Thomas Edison gave further praise of his

deafness to Edward Marshall I have no

doubt that my nerves are stronger and better

today than they would have been if I had

heard all the foolish conversation and other

meaningless sounds that normal people

hear. The things that I have needed to hear I

have heard. ..Most nerve strain of our mod-

ern life, I fancy, comes to us through our

ears.

Edison claimed it was his deafness thathelped make improvements to the sound

quality of Bells telephone and helped him

to improve on his own phonograph inven-

tions. He claims his deafness made him

acutely aware of the noise in sound. He

depended on the purity of sound to hear it.

His deafness helped isolate the noise and he

set off to banish the clatter he found - both

the audible and proverbial kind. In Edison

words People with good hearing have

become so accustomed to the uproar of civ-

ilization that the uproar has become neces-

sary to their lives.

When we think of Thomas Edison,

we never think of him as an

inventor challenged with physi-cal disabilities. Edison was deaf most of

this life. Edisons hearing loss was a culmi-

nation of contracting childhood scarlet

fever and further hearing loss at the age of

12 years from a head trauma incident.

Edison spent his entire adult life with

almost total hearing loss.

Thomas Edison gave a very personal

interview about his deafness to journalist

Edward Marshall for Hearsts International

COSMOPOLITAN in April of 1925. He

stated my deafness has not been a handicapbut a help to me. Edison claimed his deaf-

ness aided his learning in his youth I read

Burtons Anatomy of Melancholy - pretty

heavy reading for a youngster. It might

have been, if I hadnt been taught by my

deafness that almost any book will supply

entertainment or instruction.

Thomas Edison spent his youth getting

the typed Headline News before the rest of

the country. He was the newspaper boy for

the passengers of the Grand Trunk railroad

during the Civil War. He learned to parlay

his railroad station access to the only head-

line news medium the newspapers. It was

these stations that had the pulse on transmit-

ting the news. Newspaper companies print-ed the news provided by the telegraph com-

munications stations that transmitted battle

report messages from telegraph wires

across the railroad lines. Here Edison states

..I had a chance to learn that money can be

made out of little careful thought and, being

poor, I already knew that money is a valu-

able thing. Boys who dont know that are

under a disadvantage greater than deafness.

..I was already very deaf. In my isolation

(insulation would be a better term) I had

time to think things out. I decided that if Icould send ahead to outlaying stations a hint

of the big war news which I, there in

Detroit, had learned was coming, I could do

better than normal business when I reached

them. Young Edison convinced the

Detroit Free Press to supply him the just-

off- the -press newspapers on a promise he

would sell them all. Then, Edison had sta-

tion agents who were also the telegraphers

give advance notice to the passengers that a

big headline news story was in the newspa-

per when they arrived at their next station.
