Did you know?
In 1926, in the year that Walter Benning was born, on October 31st, Harry Houdini died in Michigan. Houdini was the most famed magician of his time and perhaps of all time, especially for his acts involving escapes - from handcuffs, straitjackets, chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, and more. He was president of the Society of American Magicians and stringently upheld professional ethics. He died of complications from a ruptured appendix. Although he had received a blow to the area a couple of days previously, the connection between the blow and his appendicitis is disputed.
Did you know?
In 1930, at the age of merely 4 years old, Walter was alive when as head of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, William Hays established a code of decency that outlined what was acceptable in films. The public - and government - had felt that films in the '20's had become increasingly risque and that the behavior of its stars was becoming scandalous. Laws were being passed. In response, the heads of the movie studios adopted a voluntary "code", hoping to head off legislation. The first part of the code prohibited "lowering the moral standards of those who see it", called for depictions of the "correct standards of life", and forbade a picture from showing any sort of ridicule towards a law or "creating sympathy for its violation". The second part dealt with particular behavior in film such as homosexuality, the use of specific curse words, and miscegenation.

Our Grandparents' Pharmacy - Heroin, Cocaine, Rattlesnake Oil, Electricity
Drug overdose deaths in the US are estimated to have been around 59,000 in 2016 and addiction is on the rise. But drug addiction and resulting deaths have always been a part of our history... Cocaine, heroin, opium, alcohol, marijuana . . . our grandparents used all of these to cure their illnesses - often unknowingly. Addiction isn't new: medicines weren't usually patented (no one wanted to share the ingredients) - and they weren't regulated, either. Seeing is believing - take a look at some of these "cures" and where they were sold!
