An Itasca city ordinance requires a 6 foot fence with a lockable gate for any pool over 24” in depth.

ITASCA Ex-Students Schol- arship Fund It is that time of year again when the Ex-Students Association of Itasca high School will determine who among the graduating Seniors at HIS will receive the Itasca Ex-Students Scholarship. The Ex– Students Association voted in October 2016 to limit the scholarship to students who have family members that have graduated from Itasca High School. The scholarship fund was developed by the Ex- Students Association in 1990 when James Cammack contacted the President if the Association suggesting a raffle to collect the initial funds. The Scholarship Fund started that first year with $250.00 and the initial scholarship of $50.00. The fund has continued to grow and numerous graduating seniors have benefited from the generosity of the Itasca High School Ex-Students. Should you wish to help these students pursue a sec- ondary education you can mail your check made out to The Ex-Students’ Scholarship Fund to P.O. Box 324, Public Notice Itasca, Texas76055.

Don’t keep your dog chained all the time

In many parts of the country, fenced yards are uncommon, so some people keep their dogs on chains. Tether- ing a dog for a short while is fine but should never be a dog’s 24/7 existence.

Dogs who spend their lives on chains are more likely to become dangerous, biting anyone who comes onto their turf.

That’s because a dog who spends his life on a chain is isolated and frustrated, and he’ll sometimes lash out to protect his pitiful bit of territory.

Chaining can be dangerous for the dog, too: There are countless cases where a dog tried to jump a fence, did- n’t have enough chain to clear it and ended up hanging himself from his collar on the other side of the fence.

Dogs have also wrapped their chains around trees and died because they were unable to get water on hot days.

Dogs who are chained using choke collars can end up dead as well.

If you don’t have a fenced yard, walking your dog or buying a kennel run for him to hang out in when you can’t be with him is better than chaining him outside. Page 8 June 14, 2019 Paw Print Press Do You Remember…?-”The Sun-”

When we hear the word bonnet, it brings back memories of the time when our mothers and grandmothers wore what was actually a sun-bonnet. It covered the la- dies’ heads and necks to prevent sunburn. Webster describes it as a that is held in place by a ribbon, tied under the chin. The bonnet in our country was worn mostly by farm women when they were in the fields or doing weekly wash. However, there were dress bonnets and also. The old work bonnets were made at home on the old Treadle Sewing Machine. They were made from flour or feed sacks, or gingham. The bonnet, like the apron, had other uses as well. It was used to gather eggs, berries, or vegetables from the garden. The bonnet was hot and uncomfortable in the summer and it ruined your curls or hairdo, if you had one. The curls one had made by sticking the curling irons down a coal oil lamp and made the dangling curls. It seems ironic that back then we did everything we could prevent sunburn, now we deliberately jump into the tanning bed to get one. In the past the hat or sunbonnet was worn for many reasons and had many different names and uses. The hats have been called , , a , , cloche, pillbox, and others. Some- times when thinking of women’s , the question of invariably arises: is it a necessity or a frivolous acces- sory? When we examine the history of the device it has obviously been both. The headgear for women began years ago when the church decided that it was proper to cover the heads of the distaff side. During the latter part of the 18th century the hat making process left the home, and was taken over by the milliners. At first, they were more like stylists than milliners. The term “Milliner” came from Milan, Italy, where fine hats were made from high quality straw. In 1780 the English black silk taffeta calash, and the white cotton bonnet were introduced. After the French Revolution, cotton was introduced as a fashion fabric. Turbans were introduced in the 1790’s by the English. In 1792 came a introduced as a fashion fabric. Turbans were introduced in the 1790’s by the English. In 1972 came a hat with a sharp crown, similar to a witch’s hat. In 1800, the bonnet du jour was a woven . By 1830 the hats, bonnets, turbans, etc. came larger and sometimes with a . By the 1840s, the brim size decreased and a “Barolette” or ribbon frill was attached to cover the back of the neck. The neck being consid- ered erogenous. In the middle of the 1860s came the America sunbonnet, and the Canadian Franchon, also at this time came the parasol as an accessory. Some more styles or variations at that time were the Canadian “Three Story Flower Pots.” Then in the 1890s the trend became masculine, the “”, Trilbys, and the Ca- nadian mannish style sporting hat. In the early Edwardian period, 1901-1907, the ladies silhouette was dressed to take on an “S” shape. Also popular about this time was the Toque, or brimless hat. In 1911, the hats became larger, sometimes reaching to a woman’s shoulders. It was then that the hat pin became popular. Besides hold- ing on the hat, the long pin doubled as a weapon of defense for the ladies. During World War I, hairstyles became smaller and hats became simpler. It was considered unpatriotic to dwell on ones appearance more than the war effort. The American Fancy straw hat with flowers came along about 1912, also the black silk faille hat, and from 1920 to 1940, the “cloche”. We cannot name all of the hats and styles over the years, but some of the more interesting ones were the Ca- nadian Tyrolean, the Halo Halo, Canadian Pink Straw, 1942, the “V” for Victory with a rhinestone pin in 1945, the American Pancake Straw in 1950, also the “Coolie” in the 50’s and one of my favorites was the “Pillbox”. Then from the 1960s and beyond, the French black straw Bretton, Canadian blue satin, cocktail hat, and the American black leather helmet. I am sure today’s column has been for the men, but sometimes we must cater to the ladies. I thought the following poem was appropriate for today’s story. Grandma’s Old Sunbonnet by Francis Carter Grandma’s old sunbonnet She wore it in the garden She wore it to feed the chickens Hung on a nail by the kitchen When she was hoeing weeds, When the eggs she would gather, door.
