Shopping for groceries in Columbia, 1956

By Mike Watson

We are not living with rationing as did our parents and grandparents during the World War II era, nor serious shortages as we have seen in other decades, in times of geopolitical hardship, but some items have been hard to come by of late.

While researching other things, I came across the Adair County News advertisement of January 1956 and thought it might make some readers wonder about the 'good-old-days'.

Kroger, on the Square in Columbia, had the following offerings as per their ad of 18 January 1956:

February 2, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

The article below first appeared in the February 2, 1978 issue of the Daily Statesman. Topics included a(nother) rumored return of the Columbian Theater, Pete Walker's love of farm equipment, grocery shortages in Indiana, a Cumberland County memory from Sue Rowe, some cold weather hyperbole from Grover Gilpin, and some Cards of Thanks (which still run free on Columbia Magazine classifieds if you're moved to send one in). --Pen

The last true Methodist preacher
Whatever happened to the sidewalk preachers who used to line up on Saturdays on the courthouse lawn to take a turn at preaching?

I haven't seen one in Columbia for years. Maybe we've gotten more righteous. Or maybe we've gotten so bad that they've given up.

They were an interesting lot. I remember one who was here one Saturday in the Olden Days of the Fifties. He was preaching pretty much to a listless audience, and the few who were listening to him would frequently jeer or laugh at him.

"Yeah, go ahead and laugh," he rebuked them, "and see what happens to you! Just because I don't hold with churches and church membership don't mean I ain't got something to say!"

But the laughter didn't stop. "It ain't the first time that I, the last true Methodist preacher, God sent to save your collective souls from eternal damnation, was ever laughed at!"
