The following is a brief overview of the type of resources and collections you can expect to find at societies and libraries. Items that are secured and managed are very specific to a community, county, region, and state. While some items may be duplicated across collections, many items are unique and can only be found in specific locations. It then becomes very important that you gain a comprehensive understanding of all the resources that are available to you collectively.
Audio-visual recordings are often valued for the authenticity and sense of closeness they bring to the speeches, sporting events, interviews, newscasts, and performances they document. One example you're probably familiar with is, Ken Burns's Baseball or Civil War documentaries. In many cases the media has been digitized and are made available to researchers.
Audio Recordings
Commonly encountered recording media include wax cylinder recordings, recordable disk records, recording wire, open reel-to-reel, cassettes and digital disks. Many of these recordings have been digitized and available for review. Subject matter ranges from music to speeches and presentations.
Bible Records
Bible Records are usually located in Manuscript Collections and include data such as birth, marriage, and death records, most of which were never recorded in official vital records and unavailable elsewhere.
Cemetery Records
Cemetery Records often come in the form of tombstone inscriptions which can often supply exact dates of birth and death, maiden names of women, and family relationships.
Census Records
A government sponsored enumeration of the population in a particular area; and contains a variety of information from names, heads of household or all household members, their ages, citizenship status, and ethnic background, etc.
Non-population Census Records
Agriculture, mortality, and social statistics schedules are available for the census years of 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. Manufacturing schedules are available for 1820, 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880. They are arranged by state, then by county, and then by political subdivision (township, city, etc.). These schedules can add "flesh" to the bones of ancestors and provide information about the communities in which they lived.
Church Records
Church registers are often the only way to determine birth and death dates in the years before states started to keep vital records. Most churches keep their own records, but libraries usually have a number of books, copies of church records, a few manuscript volumes of original records, and microfilmed church records. You can request a current list of the churches for which records are available.
Civil Vital Records (Birth, Death, Marriages, Divorcees)
Civil vital records—for births, deaths, and marriages—mark the milestones of our lives, and are the foundation of family history research. Chronicling the personal moments of our lives through the objective perspective of the public record, vital records can offer details often found through no other genealogical resource.
Diaries and Journals
Diaries and journals are used interchangeably today. No matter what you call them, these accounts are the autobiographies of ordinary people like your ancestors, and these may be the only existing records of their personal lives. Along with genealogical data, diaries give you a wonderful glimpse into someone's daily life, thoughts, and attitudes. A diarist may also record feelings on national events, such as a war or its impact on family, and the community. The following is an attempt to define meanings as used over the last several centuries.
Directories and member lists are the predecessors of the modern-day phone book. They listed the inhabitants of a locality, with their addresses and occupation (and sometimes business address).
Electronic Discussion Groups
Many societies and libraries sponsor electronic discussion groups. For example, Virginia History and Virginia Genealogy, that are open to interested researchers worldwide.
- VA-HIST (Virginia History)
- VA-HIST Monthly Archives
- VA-ROOTS (Virginia Genealogy)
- VA-ROOTS Monthly Archives
Electronic Recordings
Although the majority of archival materials are still paper-based, the amount of electronic records entering archives is increasing. Whether the electronic records are in the form of e-mail, databases, text documents, spreadsheets, digital images, or web pages, archives look for metadata, or information about the records, to help them better understand the content and context of the materials they have received. Since electronic records are, in most cases, simply an alternate format of evidence traditionally created in paper form, they can be either a primary or secondary source depending on when, how, and why they were created.
Ephemera are materials created for a specific, temporary purpose. Although these items are often saved by individuals for sentimental reasons or by chance, they can contain valuable information concerning people, places, and dates associated with events and the culture and economy of the time.
Genealogical Notes
Some researchers have donated research notes to libraries, which are often cataloged with Manuscript Collections.
Immigration Records
Naturalization Records. Naturalization is the legal procedure by which an alien becomes a citizen of a state or country. Records of naturalization were not required to be reported to the U.S. Government until the Basic Naturalization Act of 1906, naturalization forms became standardized and were sent to the U.S. Bureau of Immigration (later the Immigration and Naturalization Service [INS]). Prior to that, federal, state and local courts could naturalize citizens. The records are kept by each court, or, in some cases, sent to be stored elsewhere. Immigrants often filed their first application for naturalization as soon as they came off the boat or other places on their journey to their final destination.
The formalized process required that a prospective citizen file a declaration of intention in which he or she renounced allegiance to foreign sovereignties. Following a waiting period of five years, an immigrant could then petition a federal court for formal citizenship.
Land Records
There are many types of land records-title abstracts, land purchases, grant, and more. Land records are typically one of the records kept from the very early days of settlement in an area and may be available when other records are not. These records provide information on relationships between individuals, approximate relocation dates, and the financial state of a family. The types of land records you will find include:
- Tax Records. Tax records include assessment lists, which give the names of property owners and the value of each property; and tax lists, which record the taxes actually due and/or paid.
- Deeds. Deed books record the ownership and transfer of property, usually real estate.
- Bounty-land Records. The federal government offered land to those who would serve in the military during the Revolutionary War. Some states also offered their land as an enticement for military service. The federal government reserved tracts in the public lands, and most of the original thirteen states set aside tracts of bounty land in their western holdings.
- Donation Land Records. In 1850, in an attempt to lure settlers to the new western lands, the government gave lands to would-be settlers in Florida, New Mexico, and Oregon and Washington Territories, known as Donation Lands.
- Homestead Records. The first Homestead law was enacted in 1862 and was also intended to encourage settlement in the West. As with the Donation Lands, the only requirement was to live on and improve the land through cultivation. Only a small filing fee was required.
- Bureau of Land Management. The Bureau of Land Management-Eastern States Office supervises the public land states east of the Mississippi River and the states that border the western side of the river.
Local and Family Histories
The historical society is usually a great source for finding local and family histories which are invaluable as you discover the roots of your ancestors.
- Family History. A family history is a book or document that gives facts and information about one or more generations of a family.
- Local History. The overwhelming majority of local histories address how a particular region and its citizens handled and reacted to every major state and national happening.
- Biography. A biographical sketch can include almost any aspect of a person's life, but generally contains information about the individual's family, education, and occupation.
- Institutional Histories. Look for histories of the institutions that may have relevance to your family: churches, orphanages, charitable institutions, schools, hospitals and dispensaries, cultural institutions, cemeteries, businesses.
- Important: Look in the Notes. As a genealogist, the family and personal histories will provide clear documentation for statements made; footnotes and bibliographies can truly provide key data if one engages in a process known as citation analysis. This process involves taking a critical look at all notes and bibliographic references with an eye toward analyzing them for evidence of heretofore unknown record groups, publications, court records, and other papers which might document the life of an ancestor.
Maps & Gazetteers
The use of maps, gazetteers, atlases and related resources provide by the genealogist essential information about family and provides direction of where to continue your research. For example: You are looking for vital records of particular city. These records are usually kept in the county courthouse. Over time many counties have changed and subdivided. In most cases records have remained with the original courthouse. Maps can help you define what county your ancestor lived in at a specific time period. If the city was in multiple counties over time, you will gain clues of which courthouses to search given the original courthouse does not have the records you seek.
It also pays to study the area around that of your forebears. What was the region like? If there was a mountain, river, or some other topographical feature between them and the county seat, they may have chosen to take an easier route and create records in the next county. This is also true of areas with differing regulations. In states with less stringent marriage laws, "marriage mills" sprung up. Lake County, Indiana is a well-known example of this. Many couples from the Chicago area crossed the border into Indiana to get married.
Memorabilia are objects containing historical value that do not fit into any of the standard categories of special collections. These items often commemorate events or the achievements of an individual or group. Memorabilia collections frequently include badges, plaques, paintings, trophies, and coins but may also include items such as pens, name tags, office equipment, clothing, and even hair. In many cases, memorabilia are materials that would likely be found on display in a museum and thus are often used by archivists and curators for exhibits.
Military Records
Military records kept by the U.S. Government about soldiers and sailors who served their country are a major source of information about individuals. The four major wars of interest to genealogists are:
- American Revolution (1775-1783). Approximately one out of every seven Americans fought in the American Revolution.
- Civil War (1861-1865). Approximately one out of every ten Americans fought in the Civil War.
- World War I (1918-1919). Over 4.8 million served in World War I
- World War II (1942-1945). Over 16 million in World War II.
Newspapers and Periodicals
Newspapers can contain a multitude of genealogical information-obituaries; notices of births, marriages, and deaths; legal notices; estate transactions; biographies, military, immigration.
Through periodicals, the researcher can begin to gain access to data contained in vital records, court records, plat maps, family Bibles and day books, declarations of intention and naturalization certificates, local census and tax lists, church records and cemetery inscriptions, as well as the dozens of few-of-a-kind local items.
- Genealogical Society Publications. City, county, regional and state genealogy societies write and publish journals, newsletters, and quarterlies that focus on the area interest to the genealogical organization. They are published monthly, quarterly and annually. These range from a few pages to hundreds of pages. These publications tend to index, abstract, and transcribe the records of the region where they are published.
- Historical Society Publications. Society publications can be a significant aspect of immigrant research. Any local record may be the subject of publication by a local society. Whenever you contact a genealogical or ethnic society, be certain to inquire about their publications. Even when such publications do not identify an immigrant's home town, they may provide further identification about your immigrant, or may instruct you on additional sources specific to a locality or ethnic group.
- How to Locate Newspapers and Periodicals. There are thousands of local, county, regional, state, and national periodicals currently being published or having been published. The task of finding specific geographic and surname data may, at first, appear daunting. The following are several good and reliable sources.
- Worldcat http://www.worldcat.org/ .WorldCat, is a catalog of the holdings of thousands of libraries worldwide. Many of these libraries have cataloged their periodical holdingsandWorldCatcan be searched by family name or geographic location.
- Search many libraries at once for an item and then locate it in a library nearby
- Find books, music, and videos to check out
- Find research articles and digital items (like audio books) that can be directly viewed or downloaded
- Link to "Ask a Librarian" and other services at your library
- Post your review of an item, or contribute factual information about it
- PERSI http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=3165 andhttp://www.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy/persi.html. The Periodical Source Index, or PERSI, is the largest subject index to genealogical and historical periodical articles in the world. Created by the foundation and department staff of the Genealogy Center of the library in Fort Wayne, Indiana, PERSI is widely recognized as being a vital source for genealogical researchers. With more than 1.1 million entries, genealogists can search for articles about the United States, Canada, and overseas locations, about surnames, and about research methodology topics.
Oral Histories
Oral histories are recordings of people's memories. It is the living history of everyone's unique life experiences. They record people's experiences on sound and video tape. Oral histories enable people who have been hidden from history to be heard, and for those interested in their past to record personal experiences and those of their families and communities. It is a vital tool for our understanding of the recent past. Many societies and libraries have begun such projects in recent years.
Photo Collections
Photograph archives consist of collections which can range from a few to several million images. Depending on the collection, images will date back to the 1860's and track the expansion of the community, county, region, and state. You will see contributions of various ethnic groups, people and organizations to the geographical formations of the region. Decade after decade commercial, journalistic or family photographers have focused on familiar neighborhoods, geography, and buildings.
Photograph collections are important from a regional, national and international significance. From a national perspective it's a collection of what became of an area as it was settled. Issues relating to water in arid climates, Native Americans, air and automobile transportation, suburbanization, agriculture, and recreation are addressed and presented through the work of many late nineteenth and twentieth century photographers.
Probate Records
Probate Records are generated by county courts. Societies and libraries will have probate records for some counties; others can be obtained by contacting the county clerk in the county where the will was probated.
Rare Books
Although a common misconception holds that rare books are always old and that scarce books are always rare, there are in fact many factors that contribute to a book's rarity. In the broadest sense, a book is rare if its demand exceeds its supply. Demand for certain books is based on a number of intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics, such as the book's age, scarcity, association, condition, physical features, and popularity of author or subject.
Reference Guides/Brochures/Leaflets
Many state organizations provide reference guides, brochures or leaflets in print and on-line that discuss specific aspects of their collections and how to use or how to conduct research in a particular state, region, or locale. Look for guides such as:
- A Guide to Genealogical Research at the (State) Historical Society
- Population Census Records at the (State) Historical Society
- ndex to Naturalizations in (State)
- List of Basic Sources on (State) History
The scrapbook is one of the few types of archival materials created for the purpose of preserving the memory of an individual, organization, or event. Often comprised of photographs, newspaper clippings, and annotations, scrapbooks can offer valuable information about the past but are also susceptible to a loss of material caused by inadequate adhesive or items sticking together.
Subject Based Collections
Although archival materials often make up a large part of an institution's special collections, many published special collection materials are maintained together not only because of their rarity but also based on their subject matter, author, or some other unifying theme. Most subject-based collections consist of secondary materials that, brought together in one place, constitute a valuable and unique research collection. Subject-based collections attempt to collect exhaustively in their subject area and will often include primary source material in the form of official documents and archival and manuscript materials that has been published for wider dissemination.

Subscribe To The Dirty Dancing Remake Finds Its Penny Updates
I've already subscribed
Live musical adaptations have quickly become the thing to do. While NBC started this new trend and has produced 3 live musicals to date, it now appears that competing networks are trying to cash in on this new trend. FOX recently put on a spectacular version of Grease: Live, and ABC will be making its first foray into the growing genre with a live remake of the classic 1987 film Dirty Dancing. Casting announcements have slowly been coming to light and now it appears that another star is lined up to play one of the supporting roles in Dirty Dancing.
The Wrap is reporting that actress, singer, and former Pussycat Dolls leader Nicole Scherzinger has been cast as the role of Penny Johnson in the upcoming remake of Dirty Dancing. While Scherzinger might have a distinctly different look than the original Penny, played by Cynthia Rhodes, she definitely has the talent to step into those dancing shoes.
Some people may be originally confused about Nicole Scherzinger being cast in a live musical event like this, it actually makes perfect sense. Obviously Scherzinger is best known for being the lead singer in The Pussycat Dolls, but her performance credits extend far beyond that. The singer majored in musical theatre in college, and has done a handful of live stage performances since The Pussycat Dolls disbanded. She performed the lead role of Maureen (originated by Idina Menzel) in the Neil Patrick Harris directed version of RENT at the Hollywood Bowl. She also recently made her West End debut as Grizabella in Cats.
The role of Penny has one of the more serious storylines in Dirty Dancing. The original dancing partner of Patrick Swayze's Johnny, she ends up becoming accidentally pregnant. Baby steps up as a friend and confidante and gets the money for Penny's illegal abortion and volunteers to cover her performances as Penny recovers.
As Johnny's dance partner, Nicole Scherzinger will definitely be doing a fair amount of choreography, in which she can use her training and experience as a winner of Dancing With The Stars. Additionally her recent role in Cats surely included a fair amount of dance, in addition to the abundance of choreo she had to learn while she was still in The Pussycat Dolls.
Nicole Scherzinger is the latest in a rather star studded cast for the Dirty Dancing revival. The project was announced with Abigail Breslin as the leading role of Baby. We also recently learned that The Mysteries of Laura and former Will and Grace star Debra Messing will be playing Baby's mother. Conversely Colt Prattes, a relative unknown, will be taking Patrick Swayze's iconic role.
We'll continue to update you as more casting announcements for Dirty Dancing become public. No air date has been announced yet.

Choose Your Track
Track 1: Self-prep
No one wants to spend even a single minute more than absolutely necessary solving the ACT's trapezoid problems or learning to spot their hidden comma splices.
Working one-on-one with an expert ACT tutor is ideal. But some students may not be able to do that on a regular basis (for reasons of schedule, budget, convenience, etc.), so they often opt to prepare for the ACT on their own.
But even then, completely unguided ACT prep often proves inefficient: students spend too much time and effort in exchange for lackluster results.
That's why we designed Track 1. It allows students to meet with one of our ACT experts for a Strategy Session that provides concentrated advice and direction on what it takes to self-prep most effectively.
Track 2: Accelerated Prep
So much is at stake when it comes to your performance on the ACT: your two-digit score on just one standardized test determines college acceptance, scholarship awards, selective program admission, and even course placement.
That's a lot of pressure!
On top of that, many students are frustrated that their ACT scores don't reflect their true abilities, and it doesn't help that most students simply don't have the time or expertise needed to significantly raise those scores.
Let us help you tackle the anxiety with the perfect solution: Track 2. One of our ACT experts — a top-scoring tutor who's guided hundreds of students before you to success on the ACT — will work with you one-on-one until you reach the target score you deserve.
Track 1: Self-prepPrep on your own (with a bit of guidance from us)
- A 1-hour Strategy Session that includes the following:
- expert advice from a highly experienced, top-scoring ACT tutor
- how to determine whether a particular score gain is realistic
- which ACT test dates are most strategic given your situation
- an individualized game plan to reach your target score
- how to maneuver strengths and weaknesses to maximize their score
- which prep materials to buy and which to avoid
- a practice schedule based on your next exam date
Track 2: Accelerated PrepPrep with one of our ACT experts
- You'll meet regularly with one of our expert ACT tutors and receive all of the following:
- Everything included in Track 1, PLUS…
- Guidance according to a customized practice schedule that adjusts with your ongoing improvement
- Instruction geared to close your knowledge gaps on the English, Math, Reading, and Science sections

Businesses that sell perishable items such as baked goods, vegetables, fruits, or plants often feel that they want to get rid of their product at the end of the day and so they discount it in order to "get rid of it". While discounting your products will temporarily boost sales and bring in customers who may otherwise not buy your product, discounting too frequently will not help your profit or your product image. Some farmers markets do not allow end of day discounts, and there is a very good reason for this.
|Discounting too frequently will not help your profit or your image.
Grocery stores used to offer day old bread at a discounted price but they stopped this practice when they realized that they were losing money from their fresh bread sales. Their customers would continually purchase the day old bread at the discounted price instead of spending more for fresh bread. These stores eventually stopped selling day old bread because they found it was more profitable for them to donate old bread to food pantries than to sell it at a discount.
Niche marketing, or focusing marketing efforts on a specific segment of the population, is a recommended practice for small food businesses who sell directly to the customer. Small food businesses produce high quality food items with attributes that mass produced foods do not such as handmade or locally grown. Higher quality demands a higher price, and price is linked with product image. For example, when you buy an everyday item that is priced very low, you may think that something is wrong with the product. When an item is priced higher than normal, there is a perceived higher value in that product.
There are different types of customers in the market. In a previous blog post "Do YourProducts Meet Your Customers' Values?", we learned that not all customers are looking for the same product attributes. Some customers consider price more than other product qualities such as whether it is locally produced or not. Other customers consider the intrinsic value of the product, including where and how it was made and with what ingredients, before price.
Most food businesses know that when a price is too high, the product will not sell. When the price is too low too frequently, the business image and profits will suffer. Even with bargain shoppers, there is a point at which price will no longer influence demand. There are critical limits for pricing. For example, when the cost of a pint of heavy cream drops from $2 to $1, demand increases. But when the cost drops below $1, demand no longer increases (Perner, 2008).
Pricing is just one of many factors which influence a sale. Mark Hunter, the author of High-Profit Selling: Win the Sale Without Compromising on Price says, "Stop thinking the conversation is about price. It's about the customer and the solution you know you can provide to them"(Hunter, 2013). When the customer's needs are addressed, the issue of price doesn't come up as quickly. This statement also reminds business owners to listen to the customer and find out what their needs and wants are.
Keep the integrity of your high quality product. If you are concerned about wasting your products, find a food bank that will accept your old products, or find a way to turn the excess into compost. Today's customers want to know the story behind your business and they want to know about causes that your business supports (ConAgra Foods, 2014). Making food bank donations or making compost could be a behind the scenes story that you are proud to share with your customers without hurting your profits.

Note: Including this payday, there are just four military paydays until Christmas. Plan accordingly!
Payday is always a hot topic here at The Paycheck Chronicles, and this pay period is no different. The next regular, active duty pay day is Thursday, 15 October 2015. You will hear your friends, neighbors and workmates talking about receiving that pay at different times depending on which bank or credit union they use for their active duty pay. Don't assume that your pay will be deposited at the same time as someone else's pay. If you are not sure of your bank or credit union's policies about active duty pay deposits, call them, or ask me in the comments and I'll find out for you.
Deposited on the Actual PaydayMost military members will see their active duty military pay deposited in Thursday, 15 October 2015.
This includes Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) members who use any type of checking account that is NOT an Active Duty checking account for their pay. NFCU members who use a non-Active Duty checking account will have their pay available for use on the morning of 15 October 2015.
One Business Day EarlyThe most common early direct deposit offer is to deposit active duty military pay one business day early. Financial institutions that offer this include USAA and Pacific Marine Credit Union.
One business day early is also the deposit schedule for NFCU members who use an Active Duty checking account for their military direct deposit. NFCU Active Duty checking customers will have their pay available for use on the morning of Wednesday, 14 October 2015.
Two Business Days EarlyService Credit Union offers their active duty military customers the benefit of early direct deposit two business days prior to the actual military payday. For this pay period, that date will be Tuesday, 13 October 2015.
Other Banks??
There are a bjillion other banks and credit unions used by military members for their pay deposits. If you are not sure about your financial institution's pay deposit policies, call them or stop by a branch to ask questions. Or, leave a question in the comments. I'm always happy to learn more about military pay topics, and then I can share what I've learned with others.

From the moment Krystal Meyers' self-titled debut kicks off with "The Way to Begin," it's obvious she has no interest in releasing a shallow, overly programmed pop record. Rather, Meyers combines her guitar playing skills and meaningful lyrics to truly connect with listeners. Serving as the first single, the opening cut began making waves a few months ago when released to radio. Meyers follows that closely behind with the cool rock flavor of "My Savior," which most will find just as enjoyable as "The Way to Begin."
Throughout the record it's quite obvious this sixteen-year-old rocker has no intentions of conforming to fit in. This is particularly evident on "Anticonformity," an anthem of refusing to bow down to peer pressure and "stupid trends" but rather "going against the grain." "Fall to Pieces" is also a standout track with Meyers' voice at perhaps its most aggressive. While the record as a whole is very much angst-driven, she calms things down with "Reflections of You" and "Lovely Traces" which boast themselves as slow-tempo rock ballads. These songs aren't as exciting as some of Meyers' other work but are worth a listen. Eventually she concludes with "Can't Stay," a strong, guitar-heavy number that makes for a truly great closing track.
While Krystal Meyers' first offering is pretty impressive, it still holds a few seemingly minor weaknesses - primarily in some of the song's lyrics. The verses of "Fire" rhyme almost too well with "You make life from dark/ illuminate my heart/ it started with a spark" and "Let your fire on feed/ on all my disbelief/ cause You are all I need." Simplistic, even familiar, lyrics surface occasionally throughout the course of this ten-song record. As a result of this, listeners in search of something completely original may find themselves skipping this record altogether, despite its many highs.
Despite a few weaknesses, Krystal Meyers' self-titled effort is a great debut from this exciting up-and-coming teen rocker. While fans of Avril Lavigne's tunes may be particularly favorable towards Meyers (especially since she is a great alternative), fans of honest, driving Christian pop/rock should pick up this disc.- Review date: 6/3/05, written by Lauren Summerford

Poor Saddam
He surely must be the single best-treated prisoner the U.S. has abroad. Imagine what our other prisoners around the world would make of his complaint. They are probably a lot more likely to have their heads plunged in boiling fluids than to get anywhere near hot coffee in a cup.

I saw a picture once of a lady - but you could not tell the sex- that Saddam and his army had used some sort of chemical warfare in a village/town- the lady's face was melted (that is the nicest word I could find). She had no nose, no eyes- nothing really left but a hole for a mouth- everything else looked like candle wax. How she remained alive, I don't know. I have no remorse what so ever for Saddam.

Subscribe To Last Man Standing Poster Features Tim Allen As The Last Man... Standing Updates
I've already subscribed
ABC's keeping it simple with this latest bit of art for their upcoming new comedy series Last Man Standing. Set to bring Tim Allen back to the small screen in a starring role, this poster pretty much says everything that needs to be said.
Those of you who are excited to see the former Home Improvement star back on television, you'll appreciate this poster, which was originally posted at Entertainment Weekly. Tim Allen Returns.
The previously released art for the comedy features Allen, along with the rest of the cast, out on a camping trip. While that one works to showcase the family element, this new poster keeps it simple, focusing on big aspects of the show. Tim Allen is back on TV. And he's the last man standing (figuratively speaking in terms of the plot of the show, but quite literally speaking with regards to the poster). Also, Tim Allen's back on TV!
Last Man Standing premieres Tuesday, October 11th at 8/7c on ABC.

I take it that it was a color episode. That is quite a funky couch. Just a wild guess - "Taylor's in Hollywood"or "The Hollywood Party"?
If those are not correct, then I believe this might be "Barney Comes to Mayberry".
I should have been clearer, Mayor. This is just a random Google image intended as a clue to the episode in question.
Ok. Could you provide another picture or hint?
A Date for Gomer?
There is an episode where someone mentions "plastic covers" on furniture. I don't know off my head which episode that is.
Looks like you found something to help solve this mystery, Shorty!
Cept I don't recall such an episode.
Opie Steps Up in Class???
Looks like Shorty has a handle on it. The ep is 'Opie's Newspaper'. Barney is sharing some gossip about the Widow Saunders he overheard in the barbershop with Andy and says :
This is TAGS finest moment, imo, and one of the longest scenes, too. May even be the longest.
I'd say the Soup Nazi, but that's the wrong show. Is that soup or gravy?
It is gravy alright, no joke about it.
Auhhh Gravy it is, I thought it was soup...but, one should not mix cleaning chemicals with gravy. Gravy stains is not joke. Nor, is rows of buttons and taffeta.

WELCA Bible Study at Milwaukie Lutheran 2014 – 2015
Milwaukie Lutheran Church has four Women of the ELCA (WELCA) groups who gather monthly for fellowship and Bible study. We have a long tradition of calling ourselves "Circles" — circles of friendship and spiritual growth, even though we are being pushed to transform our name to "Gather Groups".
At Milwaukie Lutheran our Circles "Gather" the second week of the month for 1-2 hours depending on the group norm. We follow the Bible study found in "Gather Magazine" provided for us by WELCA. If you do not subscribe to Gather, copies of the upcoming month study can be obtained from the MLCW mail slot outside the church office. All four groups follow the same study.
We invite all women — members, non-members, former members, friends and sisters in Christ, to join any of our groups at any time. How better to strengthen your spiritual faith than to Gather, share, laugh and learn together? We meet at various times to fit busy schedules:
Naomi — 2nd Tuesday of the month at 10:00 a.m., in the church library
Elizabeth — 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m., sites vary
Peace — 2nd Friday of the month at 11:30 a.m., in the church library
Deborah — 2nd Saturday of the month 10:00-11:00 a.m., in the church library
Please join us to enrich our conversations. You will never be put on the spot to speak or read. Members, friends, sisters, you are all welcome!
(Women 18-30 yrs. of age, if traditional Bible study groups do not work for you, we are working to develop another spiritual and fellowship connection called Cafe. Watch for more information in the coming months.)

A new report analyzing obesity trends warns that health care costs will increase alongside U.S. waistlines if current rates are left unchecked. It calls for mobilizing public health efforts and expanding funding to help adults and children become leaner.
Mississippi, Louisiana and West Virginia have the highest adult obesity rates, but projections of health trends for 2030 weren't promising for other states either, according to "F as in Fat," a report released on Tuesday by the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
If the rates of obese and overweight children and adults continue on the current track, the authors said only the District of Columbia would have an obesity rate less than 40 percent by 2030. And the rising obesity levels will bring hefty health care bills to even those states that are relatively lean now for the treatment of weight-related illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension by 2030. For example, the report predicts New Jersey would see a possible 34.5 percent spike in spending during the time period.
If current trends hold, businesses also would face heavy price tags because of obese employees who have higher compensation claims and are more likely to be absent. The report projects a loss of economic productivity between $390 billion and $580 billion in two decades. The report called on obese individuals to cut their body mass index, or BMI, a metric that measures healthy body weight, by 5 percent in order to offset obesity-related illness and financial costs. For some people, this could mean a 10- to 15-pound weight loss.
"The disconnect is between information and action," said Martin Binks, a clinical psychologist, researcher and head of Binks Behavioral Health, a North Carolina-based clinic that often works with obesity. He said a behavioral and cultural shift was needed to make an impact.
"Everyone knows what to do, but they don't know why they aren't doing it."
Trends in obesity demographics and geography remained largely the same from the past decade, with states in the southeastern region and the Midwest faring the worst in national rankings. The trends were linked to the number of people who engaged in physical activity and ate greater amounts of fruits and vegetables in the state — with 36 percent of Mississippi adults reporting inactivity.
Among children, the risk of obesity was highest for African Americans and Hispanic populations. Among high school students, about 19 percent of black females, 18 percent of males and 19 percent of Hispanic males were obese and the numbers were similar for those who were overweight.
For lower-income families, the prevalence of obesity among children increased from 12.7 percent in 1999 to 14.4 percent in 2010.
"We have public health efforts, but it's rarely targeted at the lower educated, the people who aren't engaged in this conversation already," said Binks, who was not associated with the report.
The report highlights legislation and both state and community-driven programming that has been effective in preventing illness and curbing costs. Twenty states had guidelines for their school nutrition plans that were stricter than the U.S. Department of Agriculture's overall suggestions but those federal provisions were strengthened in 2010.
The city of Philadelphia has been able to reduce its obesity rate in school-going children from 21.5 percent to 20.5 percent through community-wide programs such as the Food Trust, a nonprofit organization that aims to improve access to healthy food in the city. With a focus on better nutrition in schools, Philadelphia has also moved toward closing the race gap in access to healthy foods, proven by successfully lowering the average BMIs of African American males and Hispanic females.
States like California and Colorado are also leading the way in making streets safer for pedestrians and bikers to get more people engaged in physical activity.
"This study shows us two futures for America's health," Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Founcation, said in a statement released with the report.. "At every level of government, we must pursue policies that preserve health, prevent disease and reduce health care costs. Nothing less is acceptable."
