Trouble Champagne is a bever- age that makes you see double and feel single. -Tribune, Chicago. (Ninth in a regional history series by Virginia Oifferding and Walter Wallace, prepared as a Bicentennial contribution from Northern Illinois university. -- Ed.) Like it or not, if you're from northern Illinois, you're a sucker. But hold it. Those aren't fighting words, just tradition. It's one of the more in­ teresting and perhaps painful facets of our region's rich folklore, which includes music, games, tall tales and even jokes passed from one generation to the next by word of mouth, in paintings, weavings, crocheted pictures or other means. Such "folksy" com­ munication arises from the hearts and minds of people without concern about copyright or mass productive potential. Such knowledge as methods of making chairs and pottery or recipes and canning secrets are passed to suc­ cessive generations within families or communities as part of our folklore tradition. "It all belongs to the people," as Win Stracke, dean of Chicago's Old Town style of folk music, once bellowed at a Sunday night hpotenanny, itself ^|fcmewhat of * folk tradition. ^"*St>ngs are, Of bourse, among »ihe most readily identifiable types of folk art and almost everyone knows such tunes as "Down in the Valley," "John Henry" or "Down by the Riverside." Usually, such songs represent the sorrows of the heart, of people against ' machines, relationships with God or just plain fun. Part of their vitality is that each generation may add or detract as they please so that "John Henry" exists in at least a dozen different versions. Or a black spiritual with origins lost in the past century can be revitalized in the 1960s as the civil rights anthem "We Shall Overcome." Sometimes they have morals, as did "Willy the Weeper," which Carl Sandburg included in his anthology The American Songbag. The tale of a chimney sweep who was a dope addict, Willy dreams a fantastic opium-induced vision of traveling to Europe with the Queen of Bulgaria, ending in New York penniless and without a snort to keep him going. Broken, he dies. Others were improvised for a particular occasion or political point and some grew out of commercial necessity, as the city rag man's chant, "Rags, anee ol' ragggsss," sung to the slow hoof beat pace of his horse. Or, this hawkers' song from 19th century Chicago: "I got vegetables today-So don't go away 'Stick aroun- d'And you'll hear me say'Buy 'em by the pound-Put 'em in a sack,-Hurry up and get 'em,'Cause I'm not comin' back..." After a recitation of the produce available, one such version ended: "I got yellow yams-From Birmingham-And if you want some-Here I am-And if you don't want none-1 don't give a- Yam, yam, yam!" a At the same time, rural folks had their own songs, such as one expressing fear of the very cities where those yam vendors flourished called "Chicago in Slices," it included the lines: "Some folks send by Adams express-And others put faith in old Fargo-But if you want to go to the devil direct-Just enter yourself for Chicago." Most of these songs, of course, are little more today than amusing curiosities. But other folk customs remain, though drastically altered for 20th century l ife. Consider the custom of honking car horns after wed­ dings, which has roots in many different European cultures going back to the Middle Ages. Called "Rough Music" in England or a "Chariveri" in France, the custom involed a town's or neighborhood's citizenry turning out to ridicule publicly a fellow citizen who had broken the bounds of the community's rules of morality. A suspected or proven tjiief, adulturer or other code breaker thus would be approached by a crowd drawing attention to the transgressions by banging pots and chanting doggerel that riduculed the aocused. A highly ritualized form of behavior, it could be violent or non-violent, and only symbolic or an actual banishment of the accused. At times, participants dressed as animals or superhuman creatures or the target of disdain was forced to dress in a bizarre costume. Alfred F. Young, a N1U history professor, notes that the custom was transported to 18th century America. During the American Revolution, he believes, the noisy, "mad mobs" who pillaged loyalist houses and tarred and f e a t h e r e d c o u n t e r ­ revolutionaries were not the m i n d l e s s , s c r e a m i n g , irrational crowds most historians have found them. Rather, says Young, the new colonists were practitioners of the ancient ritual of Chariveri. or Americanized "shivaree" or "chivaree", which all ap­ propriately come from Greek and Latin word stems meaning headache or head heaviness Eventaully, the practice changed and became associated almost exclusively with marriage. In northern Illinois, the custom was practiced for decades by both farmers and city slickers alike. Wedding guests would hide at the church or the newlyweds' planned planned home, and PAGE 13 - PLA1NDEALER-WEDNESPAY. OCTOBER 20, 19.C cans stringing from rear, bumpers often replaced pots; and pans and the human voice,1 though in " many farm com-! munities, the older shivareee! custom continues. ; New and added refinements- include such practices as! stuffing honeymoon suites with; newspapers, parachutes or rubber rafts, tying up bed-! clothes, stuffing cornflakes! between bedsheets or waiting; until the new couple has retired for the night and then loudly' banging on doors and windows, in hopes of catching them in their nightclothes or less. As to northern Illinois "suckers," the word was ap­ plied in the sense we accept today as someone who is easily bamboozled? Originally, it seems that early inhabitants of our region developed the practice of, taking "a long hollow reed, and when thirsty, thrusting it into natural artesians, and thus! supplying their thirst," ac-, cording to a "Sucker" from Joi Daviess County who wrote about it to the Providence, R.I.'! Journal in 1846. Apparently, Easterners* came to think of such "suckers" as synonymous with being a hick from the back-* woods, and therefore no match for city "slickers." Then again, the origin is so hazy, the same expression and tale explaining it also have been applied to those from southern Illinois, to Indianans, Tennesseeans, Kentuckians, Lousianans and probably others. when the couple arrived, the guests would jump out and bang pots and pans, sing songs and make loud noises while chasing after the new bride and groom. Sometimes, the bride and groom were paraded about as if a king and queen, and sometimes everyone would climb aboard a horse-drawn wagon (later, a flat-bed truck) to cruise a neighborhood or the countryside, noisily an­ nouncing to the world the emergence of yet another family in a sort of mock serenade.

Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Mental Health clinic staff. This initial article is "Coping with Death- Disbelief and Denial ") There is in our society, as in all societies primitive or modern, a ritual surrounding the death of a member of the community. The ritual, while seeming to some a tasteless and profitable industry, ac­ tually serves a useful and even necessary purpose: That of aiding the process of mourning for those who knew and loved the recently dead member of the community. Mourning is a necessary and ultimately healthy reaction to the loss through death of a close friend or relative. In a series of three articles, we will examine three aspects of the mourning process, and the consequences to those left behind if mourning' is not carried out in the normal manner. The first reactions to the loss of a loved one is disbelief and denial that the person is really dead. No matter how prolonged an illness, death is always somewhat of a surprise to the survivors. The attitude of denial says "Yes, this person is dying, but not today or this week, later on perhaps." Of course, in the case of ai^ unexpected death, such ast- accidents, sudden illness, or, suicide, the reaction of denial is • even more profound. The^ reaction is inevitable and', healthy. •• It is a period of psychological* adjustment in which the person* is able to become more;* gradually adjusted to the fact;4 that that person will never be!'» seen or talked to again. Usually!, the denial takes the form, "I'l can't believe that he-she isA dead." In extreme reactions Jj there can be a complete denial* of the fact, and the survivor will" go about living and planning as • if the person were really alive. ] Just as extreme is complete ̂ (seemingly) acceptance of the* fact of death, with no reaction! of surprise or disbelief. Both; the latter reactions are; u l t i m a t e l y u n h e a l t h y * ' responses, and may require professional help. * Gradually, the attitude of j disbelief and denial gives way,' and the reality of the loss becomes easier to deal with.J The denial has served its«' purpose, giving a period of time for psychological adjustment for the next step of mourning. * The Next week: The grief of-^ mourning.
