Crusader with a Drawing Pen
September 27 is the birthday of Thomas Nast, the father of
American political cartooning. Born in Germany in 1840,
Nast immigrated to America when he was six years old
and got his first job as an illustrator at age IS. From 1864 to
1884 every presidential candidate Nast supported was victori
ous He used his politically pointed caricatures to expose cor
ruption and to work for civil rights for immigrants and
minorities. It was Nast who gave us the Democratic donkey,
the Republican elephant, and our modern conception
of Uncle Sam and Santa Claus. In fact, Nast
j not only drew the Santa we all know and
ri/IEIE. love today, he also conceived and created
IjillißyiC Santa's North Pole home and workshop.

EARTHWISE
In many parts of the coun
try, the season of drying
laundry outside on a line is
coming to a close. Short,
dark, cold days make us glad
we’ve got an electric dryer to
turn to Keep these rules in
mind to keep energy use to a
minimum. When possible,
use the dryer during off-peak
hours. Aiwa;
a full load,
not stuffed fi
or the dryei
will have to
run longer
to dry the
clothes.
