NOW HERE'S THE POINT!
March 30th is "National Pencil Day!"
The modern pencil was said to have been
invented by a scientist serving in Napoleon's
army in 1795/ Of course many years prior to
that graphite was being used as a writing
instrument. Where would be be without
a pencil? Especially when someone gives
you an address or message over the
telephone. That's when most of us find
ourselves searching to find one! I used a
pencil a lot through my school years. But
it was Hymen Lipman's improved pencil
design, patented on this very day in 1858,
that really helped me through school. He
invented the pencil with an eraser!! Thank
you Hymen! Hope your pencil's are all
sharpened and all your NEWS is good!
