Christmas draws near, December 1933

In mid-December 1933, the Great Depression had just entered its fifth year, unemployment nationally had soared to almost twenty-five percent, and many prices were higher.

But meanwhile, back in The Shire...


By Jim

A casual glance through the Adair County News of eighty-five years ago -- mid-December 1933 -- might have given the casual reader just awaking from a long winter's nap the impression the worst of times has passed and the best of times had arrived.

A top-of-the-column page one article headlined "Christmas Draws Near" pointed out the holiday spirit had fallen upon the local merchants, that "Their windows are beautifully decorated in keeping with the approaching season and never have more attractive or more useful gifts been offered the public at prices so reasonable."

And, of course, behind the tempting displays arranged by skilled window dressers lay stockpiles of goodies -- an attractive array of toys for the wee folk, a wide selection of gifts for the grownups, and a variety of every-day as well as special Yuletide viands at the grocery stores.

Columbia Christmas Parade 2018

Click headline for photo album from this year's Christmas Parade.

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." It may be the unofficial creed of the US Postal Service, but it could also describe the hard-working volunteers and participants who helped Columbia's Christmas Parade officially kick off the Christmas season on Saturday.

The parade was originally scheduled for Saturday, December 1st, and had to be postponed when severe weather loomed. Yesterday's forecast gave early hope, but the weather never quite cooperated. That didn't stop onlookers and participants, however, and the Chamber of Commerce-sponsored event went on as planned.

First place in the float competition went to Damon's CTA and Froedge Trucking for "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer," with Tara Coomer as "Grandma." Second place was the Adair County High School FFA for their float re-creating the Polar Express. Third Place in the float division went to Great Oaks.
