Here's Another Chance to Purchase and Have Autographed a Copy of the Book - "Images of America - Tiffin"
On Sunday, March 8th, 2015, from 11 am to 2 pm, Keith Elchert will be at "Paper & Ink" at 98 S. Washington St. in Tiffin. This book has received so many wonderful comments and now'd be a great time to get your own copy autographed. The compilation of images was amassed by combing the Seneca County Museums extensive photographic archives in addition to personal collections. The result is a pictorial history that illustrates how, across nearly two centuries, Tiffin came to be the city it is today.
The Tiffin Book Signing Event a Wonderful Success for All!
On Saturday, February 28th, 2015, visitors began streaming into the Seneca County Museum 45 minutes before the official opening of the book launch, and they kept coming and many stayed for the whole afternoon. At several times the autograph line stretched the entire length of the room and some visitors purchased more than one book! During the afternoon, Keith Elchert shared his thoughts and experiences of authoring this book during a 20-minute question and answer period. Visitors also took the opportunity to tour the museum during the afternoon. Over 100 visitors enjoyed the book signing and over 70 books were sold! We also wish to thank Keith & Laura Elchert for their generous gift of the proceeds from the sale of this book will help support the museum! Many thanks!

Seneca County Museum Docent Fall Luncheon A "Bewitching" Success!
On Saturday, October 18th, the Seneca County Museum Docents held their Fall Luncheon and the event was completely sold out! Guests enjoyed a luncheon of autumn type foods followed by a wide variety of desserts and sweets! Tonia Hoffert gave the program called: "Seneca County Spooky Stories and Haunted History" and it consisted of local ghost stories and urban legends.
The Seneca County Museum had 2015 calendars printed to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Kids Homecomings. This calendar was duplicated from an original and actual 1939 calendar that was printed at the Junior Home print shop. These calendars are being sold as a fundraiser for the museum and are available for $10 each.
The Seneca County Museum and the Seneca County Historical Society helped with providing historical information for a display at this year's Heritage Festival. There were 8 boards located on the courthouse lawn and each one gave the history of a local industry from Tiffin. The photo above shows what one of those history boards looked like. The industries included were:
- American Standard
- The J J Fleck Co.
- The Economy Motor Car Co.
- The Loomis Machine Co.
- The Tiffin Manufacturing Co.
- The Tiffin Washboard Industry
- The Monarch Toy Co.
- The American Crayon Co.
These boards were printed by MLAD advertising and looked terrific. They were very popular and there are plans to do more next year.
The Seneca County Museum Brings Their Jr. Home Collection to the Jr Home Kids
The 2014 Labor Day Weekend brought the Jr Home Kids back to Tiffin and this year it was the 100th Anniversary of the Kids "Coming Home". Over 100 Kids and their family members registered for that weekend and on Sunday, August 31st they all enjoyed the museum's collection. Thanks to Tonia and Bill Hoffert and Brian Courtney for arranging this display!
Howard Smith - A true friend of local history and the Seneca County Museum!
On October 4th, 2013, Howard Smith passed away at the age of 93. Howard was a long time member of the Seneca County Historical Society and supporter of the Seneca County Museum. Even though his employment required him to live in places other than Tiffin and Seneca County, he was still an avid local historian. Once Howard retired, he returned to this area to pursue his passions of farming and historical research, especially covering the timeframe of the 1860's to the 1880's. More importantly, Howard shared his research findings with everyone, by publishing weekly articles in the Advertiser Tribune for several years, and then eventually combining these articles together in a book. He also published books on the efforts of the Civil War in Seneca County, and on the Sheidley family from Tiffin who became cattle barons. There are just a handful of great people that you'll meet in a lifetime, who give their lives to their community through their research of history and by sharing those findings with the public. Those are the true "historians", and Howard Smith was a great one! He will truly be missed!
Thanks to the generousity of Howard's estate, we have been given copies of Howard's books that we can sell to raise money for keeping the museum open.

Heritage Festival Weekend - 2013
After a rainy start on Friday evening, the skies cleared and the Heritage Festival weekend on Saturday and Sunday turned out to be beautiful weather days! There were good crowds for all of the programs including: the Dulcimer Group, the T's in Tiffin video and both 1913 Flood Programs. The Tiffin Heritage Quilt Club sold raffle tickets both days on quilts that were made and donated as a fundraiser for the museum. The 2013 Heritage Festival Princess Kirstin Egbert and her sister pulled the lucky quilt winners on Sunday and Kirstin performed her "History of Seneca County" speech from the festival pageant. There were some great antique autos on display outside on Clay Street while the front parlor had a beautiful display entitled: "Brides Gathering", where several elegant brides dresses both old and new were shown! In remembrance of the 1913 Flood, the museum hung 6 information plaques along the river walkway on Frost Parkway between Clay and Washington Streets at locations significant to the flood. All of these events brought the total attendance through the museum for the weekend to 361 visitors! Well done!
Char & Whitey Distel Celebrate Their 50th Wedding Anniversary with a Fundraiser!
Char and Whitey Distel celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in the Fort Ball Room on August 31st along with approximately 80 friends and family members! In lieu of anniversary gifts, they requested that guests instead give a donation to the Seneca County Historical Society as a fundraiser to help support the museum. Char's wedding dress was on display as well as other wedding memoribilia including a video taken the day of the wedding. Guests enjoyed cake and ice cream, punch and snacks and also took advantage of touring the museum. We would would like to whole-heartedly thank Char and Whitey for sharing this important celebration with us at the museum and for providing this fundraiser which will provide much needed financial help.
Visitors Enjoy Videos of Vintage Parades at "Sundays at the Museum"
The topic for the July version of "Sundays at the Museum" was "I Love a Parade". Visitors were shown some wonderful old parade movies from as early as 1942. These were scrap drive parades and were filmed going through downtown. There were also great videos of downtown Tiffin from the 1950's. The program ended with some slides and videos of the Sesquicentennial and Bicentennial parades.
Docent Summer Luncheon "Sunflowers and Sunbonnents" a Blooming Success!
Spring Luncheon - Wedding Traditions Through the Ages - A Wonderful Success
Over 30 visitors enjoyed the Seneca County Museum Docents spring luncheon on Saturday, June 15th at the Fort Ball Room of the Seneca County Museum. Jan Dundore not only provided a terrific program, but also made the fantastic wedding cake that set the theme for the afternoon! Jan started her program by answering the many questions of how the wedding ceremony and traditions have evolved over the centuries. She also brought men's and women's clothes and accessories related to weddings. The program was followed by a delicious lunch and wedding cake for dessert. Many thanks to everyone who helped make this a success including the museum docents, historical society members and especially Jan Dundore!
Seneca County Museum receives beautiful Secretary made by Johann Philip Seewald
After almost 6 months of discussions and planning, the museum received a wonderful gift on May 20th, 2013. It was the final wishes of Norma E. Battes that a secretary was be returned to the citizens of Seneca County because of its historical significance. Johann Philip Seewald (1799 – 1878) was the great grandfather of Norma E. Battes. More commonly known as "Philip", Mr. Seewald was a well known jeweler in Tiffin and we are still doing research to learn more about him. It was the belief of Mrs. Battes that this piece of furniture was made by Seewald and it has the beauty and details of someone with great artistic abilities! The efforts to match the wood grains, the unique "S" shaped key and the craftsmanship are all clearly evident in this beautiful masterpiece. This item was probably made in the 1850's and it has been located at the front entrance of the museum where it fits in perfectly with the surroundings. Many thanks to Mrs. Leda Linderman, who was the executer of the will, for all of her efforts to make this process go so smoothly! Make sure to stop by the museum in the near future to see this new acquisition!
Garden Lovers Enjoy "English Cottages & Gardens" Program featuring Janet del Turco
Over 30 visitors enjoyed the museum's open house and program on Sunday, May 19th.

Janet del Turco shared her experiences with gardening with the visitors and offered suggestions for improving our own gardens, including vegetable gardens!

War of 1812 Bicentennial Ceremony - June 18th, 2012
June 18th, 2012 marked the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the War of 1812. Because of Seneca County's direct involvement in this war, the Seneca County Historical Society volunteered to assist "The Ohio War of 1812 Bicentennial Commission" in a state-wide ceremony called: "Raise The Flag!". Each county in Ohio will receive a 15-star American flag, which will be presented and flown on June 18th. This flag will also fly on other important historical dates that are significant to the Bicentennial of the War of 1812.
Seneca County played an important role in the War of 1812. There were forts built in both Old Fort (Fort Seneca) and in Tiffin (Fort Ball). These 1812 forts were constructed as supply depots and offered provisions and security for the army route along the Sandusky River. Plus, this army supply road was a lifeline to the troops fighting in the thick wilderness of Northwest Ohio and along Lake Erie. Many soldiers died of disease and harsh weather conditions while serving at these forts and it's time that we honor these forgotten men.
A very nice turnout of patriotic citizens was present on a warm Monday morning, to help commemorate the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. The gathering took place at the gazebo along Frost Parkway, which was also the site of Fort Ball. Guest speakers included: Mayor Aaron Montz, City Administrator Deb Reamer and County Commissioner Jeff Wagner. Brian Courtney then spoke about the history of Fort Ball and Mark Steinmetz delivered the declaration of war on Great Britain from President Madison. Jim Roberts, the Master of Ceremony, kept the ceremony on track and on time, because just as his final words were spoken, the bells of area churches began to ring! Following the ceremony, approximately 50 visitors visited the Seneca County Museum and enjoyed punch and cookies.

Oak floor refinishing advice needed
The oak floors I need advice about are in my deceased parents' 1950s, split-level house. I don't know how they were originally finished (maybe shellac?), but I think my mother used to have them waxed. The flooring in the closets looks beautiful. Everywhere else, the wood feels smooth, but there are variations in color (especially between areas where furniture was and wasn't), maybe some water marks, and some black spots (they kind of look like burn marks, but I doubt that's what they are). I really like the look of the flooring in the closets and I'm pretty sure polyurethane was never used. I've been experimenting here and there with Wood Preen and with fine steel wool. The Wood Preen didn't seem to improve the appearance, though it did take up dirt -- but maybe I used it too sparingly. The steel wool improved the look. Advice welcome. Thx.
I doubt you can touch up the floor to your satisfaction. Usually a floor of that age will need to be resanded and finished for the best results. Heavy walk areas are often worn though, looking gray from absorbed moisture. Other areas are sun bleached etc. Most black spots are urine burns, some sand out others (the majority) do not. The worst of the lot can be patched out to return the floor to its original glory.
Start with mild soap and water on a damp cloth to get up the water-soluble stuff. Then do the same with mineral spirits and 0000 steel wool in any stuck spots to get the rest of the crud.
Then use the Wood Preen as a finishing wax unless you are seeing bare wood.
The dark and light spots are normal, and a waxing and buffing might be enough to get the floors into "cared for by a great housekeeper for half a century" look.
The black spots might be ink spots. I could tell where the first owner of one house had his drafting table set up from the way the ink spots landed.
A professional ought to be able to give you almost any look you want. There are many ways to finish wood and polyurethane is just one of those. If you finish with a film-forming product, such as polyurethane, then there is no need to add wax to the finishing film.

Since this is already at the top, for the zillionth time, I am going to comment.
THE BULLSHIT RELIGIOUS THREADS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GETTING RON PAUL ELECTED! Ugh! I only wish I could vote this down as often as it hits the top! It is beyond divisive and does nothing to welcome any new RP supporters other than to make us all look like a bunch of bickering fools. WHO THE HELL CARES WHAT RELIGION ANYONE FOLLOWS!!! Its freedom that counts here and freedom requires tolerance and the people on this thread are the most intolerant bunch I've ever seen since they continue to bicker among themselves over something that should remain a very personal, private choice and which frankly doesn't affect anyone but yourselves. Cut the crap already and get to work on the election. Foolish, useless arguments over mythology don't win elections!

Megan Fox in Siwy
How amazing does Megan Fox look here? This is probably the best, I think, we have seen her in a while. Changing her diet has really made a difference in her. I think she is one that looks a lot better with some weight on her.
She was caught during a trip to visit veterans on Veteran's Day in Los Angeles, California. She wore a pair of Siwy Rose jeans in Blacksand. Contrary to what everyone thinks about Megan, I do think that she is actually a really kind person. She doesn't look like someone who is in the business for fame and I think it is a great thing that she went to go visit the veterans. You can click here to purchase these jeans at the Siwy website for $193.
Emma Roberts in Diesel
Emma Roberts was caught arriving back in Los Angeles, California at LAX Airport. It also looks like she purchased some Diesel jeans during her trip to the store on Halloween day. She was wearing a pair of Livier 65Z jeans for her plane ride.
Looks like we are getting Diesel sightings more often. Which I am starting to like. When they have a great wash it is amazing, like these on Emma. I really like these jeans. The wash has such a nice medium tone to it. They go really well with the red velvet shoes (which need to be tied). You can click here to purchase Diesel at Ssense.
Shenae Grimes in JET Jeans
Shenae Grimes attended the first Express store opening in Canada. She wore a pair of JET Drip 'n' Patch Skinny jeans. We haven't seen these in a while. I love the way they look on Shenae. They fit her great and wash just looks amazing here. I have a feeling that she will be caught in JET more. The JET bug usually hits after the first pair you get.
This is probably one of Shenae's best looks in my opinion. It looks cohesive from head to toe. Usually she has a bit too much quirkiness in her looks, but this has just enough of that in it. You can click here to purchase JET Jeans at Singer22.
Perrey Reeves in Blank NYC
Entourage star, Perrey Reeves attended the ASTARS Event in West Hollywood, California. She wore a pair of the Blank NYC Spray On Cords in Dark Red with a George Gina & Lucy bag. I some how like this look. At first I thought the velvet and the corduroy was a bit too much together, but they actually work. I think if the blazer was unbuttoned it would look better.
I like that Blank brings a premium aesthetic denim at a lower price range. I think they make some of the greatest at their price points. They hold their shape and come in great washes. You can click here to purchase these pants at Shopbop for $80.

Blog Posts in Category: effects of smoking
March 17, 2014
Most people are aware of the physical health risks associated with smoking tobacco, but research shows that smoking can also have significant effects on an individual's mental health. Many people turn to tobacco for temporary stress relief, but recent findings prove that smoking has adverse long-term mental health effects. Nicotine only produces temporary feelings of pleasure. Once the feelings diminish, withdrawal symptoms rapidly set in. Anxiety, irritability, impatience and anger may develop... Read More

The Ross School's boys tennis team, which has only one senior, Felipe Reis, its number-one, is set, nevertheless, to challenge Westhampton Beach for the league championship. Ross and Westhampton are to play their first match tomorrow.
While the coach, Vinicius Carmo, expects the Cosmos to make the playoffs, he's not sure how deep this year's team, which includes two seventh graders who play singles and three freshmen, will go. Ross was the county runner-up to Half Hollow Hills East the past two years.
The East Hampton High School baseball team made the playoffs last year — for the first time since 2007 — and, despite the removal of one of its key pitchers, Maykell Guzman, to the Dominican Republic, the senior-heavy team can be expected to make them again this spring.
Ed Bahns, the head coach, and his assistant, Will Collins, are counting on their "core six," all senior returnees, to lead the way.
Lou Reale, East Hampton High's softball coach, spent much of Saturday morning's practice schooling his three new infielders in cutoff plays and the like.
As Matt Maloney had predicted, the East Hampton High School girls lacrosse team was well tuned for its league opener at Center Moriches Friday.
In high school tennis matches here Monday, Half Hollow Hills East, the defending county champion, bageled Ross 7-0 and Southampton edged East Hampton 4-3.
Ross's coach, Vinicius Carmo, who saw the rout coming, lamented the fact that his Ross Tennis Academy students were not allowed by Section XI to play in league matches. "With them," said Carmo, "we would have won."
In a nonleague match played at Ross Saturday, Northport prevailed 4-3.
We were marveling the other night at how the ancient Greeks knew everything when it occurred to me that they had nothing else to deflect their inquiries, no video games, no televised debates or movies to make demands on their time. No wonder they were so smart, they — and the Egyptians too! — had a lot of time to think and observe the heavens.
Young swimmers on the Y.M.C.A. East Hampton RECenter's Hurricanes team set four state records at the Y state meet at Erie Community College in Buffalo this past weekend.
Georgie Bogetti, a 12-year-old seventh grader who is expected to move up to East Hampton High School's girls team this fall, set three of them, two in the 11-to-12-year-old 200-yard freestyle — breaking her own record, set in Friday's preliminaries, in the finals the next day — and in the girls 11-12 200 individual medley.
The East Hampton High School girls lacrosse team, judging by its scrimmage here with William Floyd on March 14, looks as if it may well become the first in Bonac's 12-year-old program to make the playoffs.
Matt Maloney's team, which plays in a power-rated division, just missed them last year although finishing with a program-best 9-7 record.
When spring practice first began at the beginning of this month, Lou Reale's response on being asked how East Hampton High School's softball team looked was to roll his eyes.
He's not rolling them anymore.
East Hampton High's boys and girls track teams, each about 40 strong, began the season with a scrimmage here Friday with their Southampton peers.
Joe Vas, East Hampton's athletic director, saw to it, even though it was a scrimmage, that judges were provided.
East Hampton High School will celebrate this weekend, and it will mark the first homecoming where soccer, not football, will be the headliner.

Laminar flow occurs when air moves in parallel layers without disruption. Aura 95% tungsten darts have been designed to promote smooth laminar air flow, which minimises the turbulence that influences the trajectory of the dart. Blue Nitride is infused into the tungsten to produce a non-slip coating which is extremely durable, whilst creating a dart of unprecedented beauty.
[Read more]
To produce these super cool darts, the purest 90% tungsten powder is fused with nickel, iron and zinc, using an Isostatic Cold Extrusion process (I.C.E), to create a dart of unrivalled concentricity and uniform high density. Each laser marked barrel features reverse cut grooves, for extra thrust and ultimate control.

Tungsten, in its purest form, has the chemical name Wolfram. These darts are made from 97% Wolfram using a high pressure, super fine injection moulding process. This produces a uniform atomic structure for superior strength and perfectly balanced weight distribution.

Each barrel design increases in length by 1mm. This shifts the centre of balance and reacts to the differing velocity and angle of a player's throw, i.e. Model AX1 is 39mm in length and, at the other end of the scale, Model AX5 is 43mm, giving the player a logical choice to select a dart that suits their individual grip and throwing style.

Data shows Ramasubbu leads in Lok Sabha performance, Semmalai comes second
The road between Poolampatti in Salem district and the Salem Steel Plant along with the giant pipes bringing Cauvery water to the plant was laid in the 1970s.
For over 40 decades, the 38-km road was in a state of neglect and completely unmotorable. Now, the Steel Ministry has agreed to relay the road in three phases after AIADMK MP S. Semmalai representing Salem constituency raised the issue in the Parliament.
Mr. Semmalai, a former MLA and Minister in the AIADMK government, has secured the second place in the list of performing MPs from Tamil Nadu by participating in 112 debates. Besides he has moved 6 private member bills and raised 466 questions in the current Lok Sabha, the 15th.
"I was given two important portfolios – Health and Education – by our leader in her previous government and the experience comes in handy in Parliament," said Mr. Semmalai, who is also the deputy leader of the AIADMK in the Lok Sabha.
Salem, a second-tier city with less than 10 lakh population was brought under Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission (JNURRM) scheme, the credit should go to Mr. Semmalai. His attendance in the Lok Sabha is 86 per cent.
But the person who has participated in maximum number of debaters, raised more questions and recorded 97 per cent attendance is Congress member S.S. Ramasubbu, representing Tirunelveli.
Top performer
An assessment by the PRS Legislative Research (PRS) has adjudged him as the top performer going by his attendance and participation in debates and raising questions.
"You have to read a lot and fully prepare yourself before taking part in a debate or supplement a question in Lok Sabha. Moreover, a member has to be extremely attentive," said the Congress member, who says he succeeded in getting a broad-gauge line between Tirunelveli and Tenskasi and a slew of new railway schemes for his constituency.
It was Mr. Ramasubbu who drew the nation's attention to the dengue deaths in his districts and persuaded the Centre to send a medical team to study the situation.
According to him, he was also instrumental in the Centre taking efforts to link the southern grid with the north so that the excess power could be diverted to Tamil Nadu.
A two-time MLA and former bank employee, he has good knowledge of finance and banks related bills and issues.
Another person who had performed well in the current Lok Sabha is DMK's R. Thamaraiselvan (Dharmapuri). He has taken part in 100 debates, raised 584 questions and maintained 83 per cent attendance.
"Only a crying baby will get the mother's attention. You have to constantly raise issues concerning your constituency and political issues. I could get a railway line between Morappur and Dharmapuri, a project, that was secured even when the constituency was represented by the PMK and Minister of Sate for Railways was also from the PMK," he said.
DRDO project
He also secured a DRDO project at a cost of Rs. 4500 crore that would come up in 90 acres.
Mr. Semmalai said he would stay in the House till 6 p.m. so that he could participate in the zero hour and speak on important issues raised by his leader.
"I have suggested amendments to various bills. As regards the Food Security Bill, I have made it clear that it should not apply to Tamil Nadu, which is following universal public distribution system, while the Centre's bill aims at targeted PDS," he said.
Both Mr. Semmalai and Mr. Ramasubbu had spoken on education loan for students.
"I questioned the banks' decision to collect interest from students when they were still in college. The government accepted my argument and brought necessary changes," he said.
All these members agreed that the Centre was more responsive to the queries of the members, even if they could not get a positive response always.

I have a Remington Model 870 Wingmaster from 1963 that I need to improve its accuracy with slugs. It fires 2 3/4 in. shells. My gun has a 28 in. smoothbore barrel w/bead sight. I don't have the money to get a new barrel with iron sights. Any ideas?

Yes. Practice. You'll be amazed at how much better the gun gets...
Actually bead sights are really accurate and are preferred by alot of shotgunners. Practice is key, the more you shoot the better you will get,They are alot of fun too :-)
Semper paratus.....virtute et armis
Yes...The gun is 49 years old and still kicking, meaning I will continue to use it on my hunts. As for practice I will probably consider adding a recoil pad. It would be great to put a 3 in. group at 75 yds.
Slugs aren't cheap. Time you put in enough practice to shoot a 3" group with just a bead you can buy 2 slug barrels. You can get a rifled choke for the 870.
The only thing to say here is practice, practice, and some more practice.
If you think you are ready put another box of slugs down range
Most accurate smoothbore shotgun I have ever seen was a mid 60s 870 with a 28" modified barrel. And a bead sight. Was deadly all the way to 150 yards - was not mine. I did see the guy drop a deer at about 125 one afternoon. Try different slug brands. That one liked Winchesters best by a wide margin if I remember right.
What could have happened... did.
Anyone have a good link for that rifled choke?
I have a good link for discounted barrels http://www.aiptactical.com/Accessory_Sales.html

Thank you kindly.

Perhaps more than any other, 1965 was the year when the five Temptations were as one. When the impossibly pure harmony of their voices was fused with soul and style, with peerless choreography and some of the finest material created by Smokey Robinson, all to deliver the success and stardom for which these five young men yearned. All for one, and one for all.
"Everything seemed to happen in 1965," declares group founder Otis Williams in his autobiography, Temptations, "and things moved in a flash, so it's hard to find any benchmark. It was that year, though, when it struck me and, I'm sure, the rest of the guys, that we were bigger than we ever dared imagine."
Temptin' Temptations proves why, qualitatively and commercially. Released in November '65, it showcases not only the distinctive voices of tenor David Ruffin and high tenor Eddie Kendricks, but is also a reminder of baritone Paul Williams' underrated talent, all combined with six superior songs from Smokey, and another half-dozen sourced from Norman Whitfield, Eddie Holland, Mickey Stevenson and Ivy Jo Hunter.
The five singers opened 1965 in style. "My Girl" was a No. 1 R&B success in January, crossing in March to the peak of the pop charts alongside Zombies, Pacemakers and Beatles. After a more modest seller, "It's Growing," the Temptations' third hit of the year was this album's opening track – and arguably its most compelling. "Since I Lost My Baby" is almost three minutes of desolation, with Ruffin's haunting lead caught in an endless loop of loss, reinforced by ascending piano and bass lines, and a cascade of strings. Seamless harmonies – and Melvin Franklin's unmistakeable bass interjection ("Oh yeah") – double-down on David's dismay, while offering listeners the purest example of the Temptations' togetherness.
There is nothing else on Temptin' Temptations as lyrically downbeat as "Since I Lost My Baby," although "Just Another Lonely Night" comes close. The group coalesces around featured vocalist Paul to echo his sorrow, an effect also achieved by the band track's vibes and brass. The song was written and produced by Stevenson and Hunter, who were also responsible for "Born To Love You," a foot-stomper with a more optimistic outlook, fronted by Eddie Kendricks. Even so, listen out for David's second-half squall ("Don't you believe!") and the hint of another Ruffin – Jimmy – on the session.
The Temptations' fourth hit of '65 was "My Baby," an uptempo tune in which David Ruffin – thankfully – returns to happiness, extolling a lover's virtues with the help of stacked harmonies from his compadres. As a single, the flipside of "My Baby" was "Don't Look Back," an R&B hit in its own right and another of this album's enduring copyrights. Here, Paul Williams displays his formidable skill across a Smokey Robinson lyric that concurrently calls upon the rest of the group in back ("The past is behind you/Let nothing remind you"). Otis Williams remembers a part in their concert routine "where we all fanned out across the stage slick as water, leaving Paul in the center. At that point, he'd start breaking the song down and really milking it as only he could." Amen.
But if Paul could milk, Eddie could deliver. His exquisite falsetto takes centre stage on "I'll Be In Trouble" and "The Girl's Alright With Me," coupled to fine effect as a 1964 single. The latter track serves to spotlight Motown's studio crew, too, with a rollicking pianist (Earl Van Dyke, perhaps, or Johnny Griffith) and a drummer (if not Benny Benjamin, then Uriel Jones or Pistol Allen) pounding every corner of the kit. This was also producer Norman Whitfield's initial release with the Temptations, two years before "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" earned him first choice in that role.
Kendricks commands on still more material here, including "Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)," "You've Got To Earn It" and "I Gotta Know Now." He swings with "Everybody Needs Love," while throwing a catch to Melvin Franklin towards the tune's close, and takes a rather old-fashioned turn with "You're The One I Need."
But at this point in the Temptations' career, the lead vocalist on any particular number was only one of five siblings of song, untouched by the future's dissent and departures. Unity underpins Temptin' Temptations – that, and a record company still shaping "The Sound of Young America" into a force for civil harmony, too.
