Late June - early July, 1936: Events around The Shire

As June segued into July 1936, the U.S. economy had recovered somewhat but unemployment remained high. A blistering heat wave held most of the nation in an unrelenting grip, and even hotter weather loomed on the (mercifully yet unseen) near event horizon. The Democratic party nominated Franklin Roosevelt & John Nance Garner to head the executive ticket in the general election, and Kentucky Governor A.B. Chandler raised the ire of the general populace by imposing a hefty luxury tax on soft drinks, sweets, chewing gum, and cosmetics.

But meanwhile, back in The Shire:

William Cheatham, then associated with Patteson & Stotts funeral home, had just received his embalmer's license, this coming six months after receiving his undertaker's license the previous December.

Columbia's homestanding American Legion baseball team roughed up Somerset pitcher C. Barlow for 18 hits and 18 runs. Ace Columbia twirler Stanley Rosenbaum allowed 13 hits but also struck out 13 batters, and solid defensive work by the Adair County nine held the Pulaskians to six trips across the plate.

Dr. N.A. Mercer, local Health Officer, issued a stern warning about the dangers of swimming and bathing in the local streams, noting the paucity of rainfall had brought the flow of water in Russell's Creek and the Green River to a virtual standstill. He pointed out the danger of typhoid and other diseases easily contracted through contact with stagnant water.

At Baldwin's Cash Market on the square in Columbia, 15 cents bought a pound of Pride of Adair brand coffee; 80 cents got a 24 pound bag of Elk brand flour; and 95 cents let shoppers take home five pounds of rolled oats, two cans of corn, three bars of O.K. brand laundry soap, and a gallon of pitted sour cherries.
