A college educated coffee pot Yes, there is a coffee pot that was advertised as "The College Educat- ed Coffee Pot." It was designed and manufactured by Wear-Ever in the 1930’s -1940’s. The pot is alu- minum and is bell shaped. My Aunt Pauline Fields gave me one such coffee pot in year 1954, the year I became a married woman. The pot was in great condition although it belonged to her for a number of years. Aunt Polly had no children of her own; she married my mother’s brother Ralph Fields in Colorado. Uncle Ralph worked in the gold mines. My parents and these special aunt and uncle lived in the same boarding house apartments where I was born. Polly treated me as if I were her child as well as my moth- er’s. I was delighted to accept the coffee pot. We used the pot for quite a while in spite of it being prone to boiling over onto the stove if not watched diligently. When the new modern pots came out we treated ourselves to the newest electric pots. This month we found that our present electric pot was tempera- mental and we checked on the price of a new one. During the economi- cal situations that most of us are facing we bought a minimally priced "modern" coffee pot. Said coffee pot barely warmed the cof- fee. Not satisfactory for early morn- ing brew. We pulled out the "Col- lege Educated," bell shaped pot, the one my aunt gave me and a small bell shaped one that I had added to my collection. We filled the strainer basket and top, popped on the lid and turned on the gas range burner. We turned it high to start with, hav- ing forgotten the past temperament of the "College Educated Coffee Pot." By the way, the term College Office reopens Educated Coffee Pot was the adver- tising promotion board for these long ago pots. I have such a sign I picked up at one of my coffee pot collection visits to a mountain town. In a few minutes we realized that the bell shaped pot was over flowing, I rushed to the stove, turned off the flame and put the pot on another burner at a lower flame. I then set the timer for ten minutes and cleaned up the overflow mess on the first burner. Soon the aroma of old- fashioned coffee brew wafted into our nostrils. We grabbed our coffee mugs and filled them to the rim. As we sipped, we smiled; this was real coffee, the kind cowboys like when out on the range. Presently we have brewed a number of old fashioned, eye opening pots of coffee. Yes, it takes longer and more observation to brew coffee in an old-fashioned pot; however this may be a good way to stop trying to do everything so fast. My mouth is actually water- ing as I type this coffee conversa- tion. Excuse me for a minute while I grab my morning coffee. Speaking of a morning wakeup treat being important, Husband and I attended the Cowboy Poetry Pre- sentation held at the Library on Wed., April 13. During our local Round-Up celebration we heard the poetic plight or fun that a cowboy experiences. One area held high by cowboys out on the range is that ever important, morning coffee originally brewed on an open fire. All the cowboy and cowgirl poets were fantastic as usual. Bruce Bar- ron was honored; he was missed The Red Bluff Social Security Contact Station will resume normal busi- ness hours and be open April 20. District Manag- er Jennifer Cooper is apologizes for any incon- venience the April 13 clo- sure of the office due to budget cuts may have caused.

Awards were given to three Tehama County Stu- dents for their wonderful cowboy poetry contributions. Students will continue to be invited to the com- position of such poems in future years. As I sip my coffee from the mug I recall some excerpts from a poem by cowboy poet, Wallace McRae… "Coffee" coffee Carolyn Barber … From a bucket done in the camp fire, Or porcelain cup in town, It’s all good, but some of it’s bet- ter — A-steamin’ and velvety brown. … side up, …Some day when I turn hoofey- Joinin’ Hell’s (or St. Peter’s wing’d ranks), I’ll work the herd for coffee’s inventor, To give him a Howdy,…and Thanks. Mmm, College Educated Coffee brew seems to be a good as a cow- boy’s daily sip. How fortunate for me to have put Aunt Pauline’s pot back into circulation. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays. She can be contacted by e-mail at hur- car@yahoo.com.
