JIM: Goings on in The Shire, early April 1939 In early April 1939, the world teetered a bit closer to war. During the first week of that long ago "cruelest month," both Great Britain and France pledged to help Poland in the event Germany invaded the latter-named country. At virtually the same time, Hitler directed the German military, via a top secret missive, to start preparations for that very invasion as early as September. But meanwhile, back in The Shire. . . Life continued apace in Adair County. Everybody who was anybody (and few who fell short of that lofty goal), announced candidacy for some office or another, subject, of course, to the will of the voters in the August primary. Among those in the running was Herschel Tate Baker, seeking the Republican nomination for the 36th District (Adair & Taylor counties) Representative seat in the Kentucky Legislature. Mr. Baker promised that if elected, he would "support a law to increase the old age pension." (He carried the primary and won the general election in November to serve his third. non-consecutive term.) A certain sign of spring came in the form of an announcement from well-known Columbian and local roller skating rink manager David Heskamp.
