The Scavo Community Center is a realized dream shared by many stakeholders, sponsors and partners. There are some 25 of them listed on the sign that marks the entrance to not only the dental clinic, but a medical clinic too.
Representatives from Delta Dental and Mid-Iowa Health Foundation, the principal benefactors that made the dental clinic possible, were on hand to wield the giant scissors that made it official. So was Gentry, the first African-American elected to the Des Moines School Board and a long-time member of the Delta Dental and Mid-Iowa Health Foundation boards of directors.
The secret passage from the mill, was rediscovered during the last war when a steam roller fell in to it, Mr Keightley who lived on Front St had the entrance in his cellar, but the passage is bricked up and partly destroyed, It was at one time a flour mill ,in 1873 Mr W Gleadell took over the mill, and flour was sent to the Crimean war, in more recent times it has been an engineering works, a pig farm, a cheese store, a shoe polish factory a laundry,and confectionery works.
On the bank side there was two arches that could have been for water wheels, also when they were digging the foundations for the new houses, they dug up broken mill wheels

From either a Brachychiton (Kapok) or Silk-floss tree. Sometimes there's a carpet of it at the arboretum with all these trees.

Flossing after you brush your teeth is important to your dental health. It helps keep your teeth clean, remove lingering foods particles and accumulated tartar. >> bit.ly/2YwjxwV
sweet floss maker really is easy to make use of. Connect that within, fill along with sweetener along with the nutrition colouring pens to your selection that you want that floss to get and transform about.
Because, you know, I always have problems with "all those hard to reach areas." Found in a store in Chinatown, San Francisco, California, USA.
My mom just recently told me that she remembers doing this when she was a kid.
Today, nature lovers treasure the common milkweed because it offers crucial habitat to the monarch butterfly. But back in 1944, military planners treasured the plant as a raw material in the war against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.
Milkweed seeds have white, wispy hairs referred to as "floss." When the seed pod cracks open, the seeds are distributed by the winds, an ingenious evolutionary adaptation employed by the dandelion, cottonwood tree and many other species.
In an era before the pervasive use of synthetic fibers, the value of milkweed floss lay in its buoyancy. The armed forces used it in the manufacture of life preservers needed for its airmen and sailors. Life preservers were critical to Allied success, since so much of the war was fought on or over the seas.
Milkweed, though, was not the first choice for life preserver stuffing. During World War II, the Japanese gained control of the Dutch East Indies (today Indonesia), cutting off the main U.S. supply of floss, which came from the tropical kapok tree. Like the common milkweed, kapok seeds are carried aloft by delicate strands of cotton-like fiber.
Luckily, milkweed proved an acceptable substitute. One problem, though, was that it would take upward of three years to produce a commercial crop. Thus the government had no choice but to make the unusual call for the collection of seed pods wherever the plant grew wild.
W.I. DeWees, an assistant professor of agriculture from Illinois State Normal University, was state superintendent for the floss collection program. With labor - both in the city and countryside - at a premium, schoolchildren were enlisted in the cause. This was a time before the complete mechanization of the farm and school consolidation, so there were many more children and many more schools in the Illinois countryside than today.
Therefore, it was schoolchildren who spent the untold hours walking fencerows, roadsides and railroad right of ways looking for milkweed, which before the war was considered little more than a weed.
Onion sacks were distributed to carry the collected pods, and children received 15 cents per bag, with an additional 5 cents if the pods were dried. Two bags of pods contained floss for one life jacket. The U.S. military called for the collection of 2 million pounds of floss nationally, enough to fill 1.2 million life jackets.
Harvesting the floss was simply a matter of picking the pods before they cracked open and released their seeds. Consequently, the pods doubled as handy storage units before the naturally buoyant fiber could be processed into lifejacket stuffing.
