By Bob McMillian 1930’s (Compiled by Audrey J. Lambert) http://www.ajlambert.com 1930 (January 2, 1930) The E. P. Maxwell grocery store on West Main Street was destroyed by fire this week. The alarm was sounded too late for firemen to put out the blaze. The building, owned by Mrs. H. M. Mackie, was insured for $800. *Some 200 rural farm women, including some from this area, will meet at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville this week for UT’s annual “farm women’s short course” offered by the university’s home economics department. (January 9, 1930) Sheriff Warren and his deputies broke a ring of thieves this week. They arrested four young men at their homes after an intense investigation. The men were charged with a string of thefts, including this week’s robbery of the Bank of Algood. The sheriff tracked the four from the bank to where their getaway car was parked using bloodhounds and used the clues he found on the scene there to continue trailing them. The bloodhounds are owned and trained by the Pippin brothers from Double Springs. (January 16, 1930) County road supervisor H. D. Whitson gave his annual road report for 1929 this week. Operating on a $13,827 budget and using the labor of jail inmates and horse•drawn road graders, he reported that he graded a new road in Martins Creek, graveled the Buffalo Valley Road and Fisk Road, and did a considerable amount of work improving the Buck Mountain and Phifer Mountain Roads. (January 23, 1930) The Cookeville Bowling parlor is about to open on West Broad in the new building just completed there by R. S. Greenwood. Alvin Winfree and Joe Miller are to be the operators. They promise it will be “up to date and modern in every respect,” a place for the enjoyment of women and children as well as men. *Sheriff Marion Warren has appointed a new deputy to replace C. L. Brown, who did recently. The new lawman is W. B. (Brown) Minor, 26, a young married man who is popular around town. He was a salesman at his late father’s Swann Hat Co. until recently. His “beat” is to be west Cookeville, says the sheriff. (January 23, 1930: Putnam County Herald, Cookeville, TN) Bowling Parlor Opens in West Cookeville: A bowling parlor on West Broad Street is the new building owned by R. S. Greenwood, opened last Monday under the management of Tom Walker of McMinnville, and operated by Alvin Winfree and Joe Miller, both of Cookeville and experienced in bowling alley operation. The parlor is up•to•date and modern in every respect. It announces that it will be especially open to women who would like to engage in this healthy amusement. It will be known as the Cookeville Bowling Parlor. New Telephone System Soon To Be Completed By Gainesboro Co. The new equipment of the Gainesboro Telephone Co., is being installed rapidly under the direction of James Bennett, who is an engineer of the American Electric Co., Chicago, builders of the switchboard, and who is an expert in his line. The new system will be opened in about four weeks unless unforeseen trouble in the hook•up develops. Under the new system the Cookeville subscribers will have access to the best telephone service obtainable; with abundant reserve the telephone company expects to expand its city area which is now within the limit of the plant’s capacity, and long distance service will be improved to the extent of the city’s needs. The new switchboard embraces the newest and most up•to•date equipment the country has, excepting the dial system. The type is the flashlight signal, ensuring the apex of instant and satisfactory service. *A paper milk bottle has been devised of waxer spruce fibre. The paper milk bottle is used but once. (January 30, 1930) Dr. D. T. Pettross, a popular physician here, is moving to Nashville. He’s a chiropractor and has been physician to the football team at Tennessee Polytech here since 1927 in addition to his private practice in Nashville, he’ll work with Vanderbilt University’s football team. He leaves a number of friends in Cookeville, according to the newspaper. (February 6, 1930) The West Side Motor Co. advertises that it has the new Willy Six on its lot, a car that will go an incredible 72 miles per hour. It goes 48 mph in second gear. The car also boasts “rich broadcloth upholstery, “internal four•wheel brakes,” shock absorbers and costs only $850. *Meanwhile, over at Notie’s Beauty Parlor, $5 will get you “any method of permanent waving” you prefer, according to an ad in this week’s edition. (February 6, 1930: Putnam County Herald, Cookeville, TN): An Interesting Centenarian: Mrs. Betsy Gracey, who resides near Window Cliff, this county, was one hundred and four years old on January 12th.

  • The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy
    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

  • LOOKING BACK in HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville Area As Recorded in the Pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN
    WAY BACK WHEN: LOOKING BACK IN HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville area as recorded in the pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN. By Bob McMillian 1940’s (Compiled by Audrey J. Lambert) http://www.ajlambert.com 1940 (January 3, 1940) The Cookeville City Commission has intentionally allowed the airport’s lease to run out because its location — in a cornfield — did not qualify it for a $150,000 federal grant needed to build a new facility. (January 11, 1940) Members of the Putnam County Court vowed to do better and begin collecting past due property taxes after local attorney Worth Bryant blasted the magistrates. He said some long past due taxes are not uncollectible due to the statute of limitations. The magistrates asked County Judge B. C. Huddleston and County Attorney W. K. Crawford to begin filing suites against landowners whose taxes are overdue. (January 11, 1940) There is no Cookeville Airport this week. The city commission let the lease run out. It was intentional. The city has been leasing a corn field two miles north of Cookeville for an airport, but there’s a move afoot to get a federal grant of up to $150,000 to build a full•fledged air facility with a first class runway. But the corn field doesn’t qualify for the grant, so the city commission decided to let it go while looking for a better site. Cookeville has high hopes for its airport. The city lies under the intersection of east•west and north•south air mail routes. “Planes fly over the city at frequent intervals during the day and night,” says the newspaper.
