IARCHS NEWS - Fall 2005
The summer ’05 show in Waukee I RCHS Iowa Antique Radio Club and Historical Society IARCHS NEWS - Fall 2005 Usually by this time of year, I’d be remarking about “the frost on the pumpkin” and so on as I hunkered down to write the fall newsletter. But with the autumn we’ve had so far, I’ve been too busy soaking up rays while I finished cutting firewood – in a “T” shirt – to get serious about any indoor activities yet; including the newsletter. But, the tree color and the calendar finally convinced me that this can’t last, so it was time to pull together a quarterly report of club events…. We had another nice crowd for the show n conjunction with the Mid-Iowa Hawkeye antique power fair in Waukee again this I haven’t talked Dean into becoming a year. I didn’t manage to muster any other member just yet (he splits his time between members to help, but had a ball as usual Iowa & Colorado with frequent trips all over visiting with the crowd, young and old alike including a recent stint in Baghdad where he and on Saturday, to my surprise a friend was working to help restore their electrical from my high school days, a traveling grid), but he sure seemed to have fun talking engineer who is working in the Grimes area to the crowd and playing the old sets in the for the next year or so, wandered through display, so he’s still a potential member. and wound up taking a couple turns behind the display. -

Heat, Haze, and Heldorado: The First Encounter by Clark N. Nelson, Sr. 1 Roy Rogers Dale Evans George ‘Gabby’Hayes as himself as Carol Randall as ‘Gabby’ Whittaker 2 It was an evening in May of 1946 when my mother told my brother Larry, 12, and me, 9, to take a bath, then look forward to a trip to Las Vegas the following morning. Larry and I were excited, since we would be in Las Vegas for the annual Heldorado Days, a four-day event from Thursday through Saturday, featuring a carnival, parades down Fremont Street, and a rodeo. Even though Larry and I were excited, we were also upset by the fact that we’d be taking an extra bath that week, which didn’t seem fair. Larry and I took a bath on Saturday night, which was in those days, strange as it may seem, referred to as bath night. We were living within the northeastern rim of the Mojave Desert, and as most individuals from desert climates might recall, water, in most instances, had become a luxury; moreover, according to our parents this was the reason for bath night. However, I’ve yet to be convinced that our parents adhered to the agenda we knew as bath night. Nonetheless, one’s personal agenda toward cleanliness and personal hygiene for the remainder of the week was accomplished with a bathroom sink, warm water, a bar of soap, a wash cloth, and a bath towel. The following examples from that period are absolutely true and serving as benchmarks in time, from that period, with relevance to the value and luxury within a reliable water source: (1) Sometime around 1955, the syndicated newspaper entry in the Salt Lake Tribune, the popular Ripley’s Believe it or Not, featured St. -
ABSTRACT “Where East Texas Dances”: the Cooper Club Of
ABSTRACT “Where East Texas Dances”: The Cooper Club of Henderson, Rusk County, and Popular Dance Bands, 1932-1942 Michelle Linsey Holland, M.A. Mentor: Thomas L. Charlton, Ph.D. A historical study of the Cooper Club in Henderson, Texas, which was open from 1932 to 1942, uncovers an exciting period in both American and East Texas history. Nationally, dance orchestras embarked on tours of the United States, playing one-night stands in small towns. Locally, the nightclub existed during the great East Texas oil boom. Under the management of owner Hugh Cooper, the Cooper Club became a staple for music lovers in East Texas who appreciated its elegant atmosphere and high caliber of entertainment. Local, regional, and national dance bands played one-night stands and brought to the oil field the latest in popular sweet music, swing, and jazz. The Cooper Club has significance and is deserving of scholarly research, for it shines light on the social and cultural history of Henderson, Texas, from 1932 to 1942, as well as the excitement of famous orchestras coming to a small town.
