 __**President Harding-Stupid or Genius?** __ By Collin Best  President Warren G. Harding has declared that the nation should go back to “normalcy.” First off, what is normalcy? Normalcy, to the big cheese, is returning back to the era when there wasn’t any war or any other nations to have breathing on our backs. He wants isolation once more because that last time, we were doing dandy. No major economic problems and no wars; just peace. Let someone else be the bull. Let’s have us wary about us. It sounds great, but what’s the truth. Well that is the truth. America should be in isolation because then we can work on improving us and that will go a lot faster than when we are fighting in wars and paying other nations. America has needs that aren’t meant for heroes. What we need are healers. We shouldn’t delve into the world and war just because of are greedy desired. Peace at home is worth so much more. What we need is tranquility. President Harding believes all of this and he says that he has a plan of “normalcy” that will turn us back onto the direction that we were facing before we got involved with war; the right direction. Our new president believes that what his rule is to a leader of the United States, not the world. He wants to make the country better and that is many times easier than trying to make the world better. He wants to make us stronger. His whole focus is on us. We are his number 1 priority and he will go backwards to correct what we did wrong so we can move forward. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy http://www.etsu.edu/cas/history/docs/normalcy.htm

** Band-Aid Script ** Person (injured): OW! Another cut agh! This is my fifth cut this week! Person (with band-aids): Don’t worry I have a band-aid. Person (injured): what’s a band-aid? Earl Dickson: I’m glad you asked you see without that band –aid there you might bleed to death. Person (injured): Is that the case? Earl: Yes, you see when I worked for Johnson and Johnson my wife kept cutting her self on her knife. Person (injured): no way! Earl: Yes way so I made a product that took some gauze I had laying around and put it on glued adhesive tape so that when she needed she could cut a strip the length of her cuts. Person (with band – aids): So that’s how they came to be. Earl: yep sad thing is they didn’t catch on real fast. Both people: NO WAY! Earl: yea they were only selling for about $3000 a unit. Person (injured): wow surprising for all the people who use them now. Earl: isn’t it though? Person (injured): *happy tone* wow thanks band-aid Narrator: shame if that’d happen to you wouldn’t it. Just remember if it wasn’t for Earl you might be bleeding a lot by now. Just don’t forget our friends and to grab, rip, and stick a band aid!

 

__**Ihttp://mrsschidinghistorywiki.wikispaces.com/2-5+african+penguinsNFO ON BANDAIDS GOES HERE**:__ Have you ever wondered what the history of the bandaid is? Earle Dickson was the inventor of the Bandaid. In 1920 when he was working for a company called johnson and johnson, his wife would continually cut herself while cooking. At the time you used gauze and a separate piece of adhesive tape for wound care. But he thought that something was needed to protect smaller wounds, so he cut a small piece of gauze and attach it to adhesive tape and covered it with crinoline to keep sterile, thus the first bandaid. During the 1920's it wasn't a very popular invention, they only sold about $3000.00 worth of bandaids. Earl died sept. 22nd 196. At the time of his death band-aids were selling over $30,000,000. Today millions of bandaids are sold worldwide. You find them in all first aid kits, or any store that sells medical supplies. There are too many types of band aids to choose from: There are those made especially for children that have different types of clip art on them, so that kids find them more interesting to those that are made for special wound care in surgical procedures. Bandaid have become a basic supply for all household first aid kit, not to mention a basic necessity in hospitals medical supplies. Where would we be today if the good old bandaid had not been invented? http://www.canadatop.com/article/Bandaid http://www.sjmv.org/Campus/Class/scinventors/bandaid/bandaid.html http://inventors.about.com/od/bstartinventions/a/bandaid.htm
