CMI War chow
September 25, St. Mi­
chael School eighth grad­
ers experienced the foods
from the Civil War times.
The Social Studies pro­
gram begins at the Civil
War and moves towards
present history. Mrs. DeCook’s and Mrs. McKechney’s children researched
and purchased ingredients
that were regionally cor­
rect and prepared a menu
including; com bread, po­
tato soup, hard tac, bean
soup, bread, com chow­
der, cabbage and ham,
and Sally Lunn bread.
In 15 languages
In 1933 the times were hard for most Americans.
Charles Darrow was no different. He was an unem­
ployed heating engineer, 42 years old, with a wife and
family to care for.
Charles started inventing tilings to stay occupied. He
came up with some game score pads, jigsaw puzzles,
and a combination ball and bat beach toy. But none of
those ideas proved profitable.
Then Darrow came up with a real estate game as a
family diversion for empty evenings. A round piece of
oilcloth colored with free paint samples made the play­
ing board. He drew some-funny money, cut up shoe­
boxes for property deeds, and used colored buttons for
playing pieces.
Friends began requesting copies after spending an
evening arourid the oilcloth, and soon he was turning
out two homemade sets a day. In 1934 he took his
idea to Parker Brothers, the world's largest producer of
games, but they turned him down. It seems that
Charles broke 52 golden rules for successful games.
Darrow returned home to Pennsylvania and had 5,000 sets made, and by Christmas, stores were ordering
so many that he was working 14 hours a day to keep
up. Parker Brothers watched the sales and reconsider­
ed in 1935.
,
• And now Chades Darrow’s game is the most popu­
lar in the world; it is published in 15 languages.
MONOPOLY came to exist just because a dad want­
ed something for his children to do with their evenings.
