80 years ago: basketball, electricity, water tower, and an amazing contest

As November 1938 eased toward December, many -- not all, not most, but many -- Americans began to see or at least sense an easing of a crushing double trough: the 1937-1938 recession within the Great Depression, the latter then in its tenth year. Unrest stirred in Europe, fomented in the main by Hitler, but war there remained some ten months in the future, and America's plunge into the global conflict lay almost exactly three years away.

But meanwhile, back in The Shire. . .


By Jim

In that late November eighty years ago, the Taylor County Rural Electric Cooperation reported power poles had been set from Campbellsville to the monument at Tebbs Bend. From that point then, the line would extend into Cane Valley, with completion slated before late winter.

In Green, Taylor, and Adair counties combined, 154 miles of line would bring electrical power to 427 farms. The project employed 50 men and would bring a total of nearly 25,000 much-needed hours "of direct labor alone" to the area.

Commentary: Am I the only one who mourns?

A building died this morning,
its remains disrespectfully consigned to the dump.

How many board feet of oak rafters and flooring were wasted?
How much metal could've been recycled?
Am I the only one who mourns?
