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. Getting them to land and refuel here could not only put Cookeville on a U.S. air mail route, supporters believe, but it might land passenger service too. (January 18, 1940) The American Legion Auxiliary here plans to host an evening of musical entertainment in the City School auditorium this week. Featured will be Roy Acuff and his Smoky Mountain Boys. They’re the opening act on WSM’s Grand Ole Opry now. (January 26, 1940) Now your family vacation doesn’t have to be just a memory, says Webb’s Pharmacy. You can film it with a new Bell and Howell personal home movie camera, the Filmo. Webb’s which announced this week that it’s selling the new Fimo, says it’s reliable. Bell and Howell has been in business 30 years now and has been making home movie cameras for the last 16 years. Come by and try one out, says Webb’s. The Cookeville Sewing and Garden Club celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. New officers are Mrs. H. T. Whitson, president; Mrs. Dillard Massa, vice president; and Mrs. Morrison Lowe, secretary•treasurer. In this weekly column, Sen. Albert Gore Sr. explains just why it is that most Southern legislators are opposing the proposed Anti•Lynching Act. Gore says that it’s not a case of the South favoring lynching. But Southern legislators say the federal act is a violation of the states’ rights. (January 28, 1940) Two Cookeville boys, both 14, have been sentenced to serve three years in the state reformatory. Cookeville Police Chief X. B. Hayes and patrolman Herman Judd caught them stealing chickens from various homes in the city this week. (February 1, 1940) Don’t be alarmed if you see some odd sights around the RPI campus this week. Twenty•three athletes are undergoing initiation rites for membership in the T Club. They’ll be carrying bricks and paddles all day, eating standing up and using knives only, and running from building to building on campus riding stick horses and shouting “Hi•Yo Silver and Away.” (February 8, 1940) Marchbank Drugs is having a Valentine’s Day sale. You can have a two•pound box of candy for $1, Rexall Cold Tablets for a quarter, and a sandwich toaster for $2.75. Fifty aspirin sell for 29 cents and a tube of Klenzo Dental Cream goes for 39 cents. (February 15, 1940) Cookeville is getting a new grocery store, Piggly Wiggly. It is opening in the Carlen Building on Broad Street next to Webb Pharmacy. Harry Kenton of Nashville is the manager. Bud Curley, a former Tennessee Tech football star, is his assistant. Lebanon’s Bill Goodall is manager of the meat department and Bill Dryman is his assistant. Other clerks include Fowler Judd, Mrs. Charlie Wilson of Cookeville and Mrs. John Puckett of McMinnville. Piggly Wiggly is supplied and owned by the Kroger Company. Cookeville Police Chief X.B. Haynie announced today that new one•hour parking spaces are being marked off from the Square to Westside as a way to get a handle on the town’s parking situation. Too many drivers are parking every•which•way and staying there as long as they like, Haynie explained. And, he added, the time limits will be enforced. Cookeville has a Piggly Wiggly store. It opened this week on Broad Street in the Carlen building next to Webb Pharmacy. Harry Keaton of Nashville is the manager. Bud Curley, former Tennessee Polytech football star, is his assistant. Bill Goodwin of Lebanon runs the meat department and Bill Dryman of Algood is his assistant. (February 21, 1940) Services were held this week for the man who once was superintendent of the Cookeville city school system, S. L. Gipson. Gipson, 60, died of a sudden illness at his home in Albertsville, Ala., where he was serving as superintendent of city schools. Gipson came to Cookeville in 1919 as director of the Federal Rehabilitation School for Disabled Veterans here, the school that taught new skills to soldiers disable in the World War. When that school closed in 1921, Gipson became the head of the city school system until 1933, when he was named the first administrator here of the Tennessee Emergency Relief Administration, which worked to help people here cope with the Depression. He went to Albertsville in 1935. *Last rites were held this week for John W. Braswell, a former Cookeville postmaster. He died at his son’s home in Davidson County. He was 86. Braswell was postmaster here from 1889•1893 during the administration of President Benjamin Harrison. During his lifetime, he also farmed and ran a grocery store. *When Princess Theater moviegoers see “In Old Monterey” this week on the silver screen they’ll see some familiar faces. All the film stars Gene Autry, who was here on Jan. 26, 1938, with his horse, Champion; Smiley Burnette, who was here the following year; and Saire and Sallie, a popular WSM Radio “hillbilly gossip team” who were here several times in recent years. (February 22, 1940) The newspaper says it has learned of the death of S. L. Gipson, 60, the former superintendent of the Cookeville City School. He died this week at his home in Albertsville, Ala. He first came here in 1919 as director of the Federal Rehabilitation School for Disabled World War Veterans. When that school closed here in 1921, he became the City School’s superintendent, a position in which he served for 12 years. He was later the first administrator the Tennessee Emergency Relief Administration here and charter member of the Lions Club. He went to Albertsville in 1935. Last rites were held this week for John W. Braswell, a former Cookeville postmaster. He died at his son’s home in Davidson County. He was 86. Braswell was postmaster here from 1889•1893 during the administration of President Benjamin Harrison. During his lifetime, he also farmed and ran a grocery store. When Princess Theater moviegoers see “In Old Monterey” this week on the silver screen, they’ll see some familiar faces. All the big stars of the shoot•em•up have appeared live on the stage at the Princess at various times. The film stars Gene Autry, who was here on Jan. 26, 1938, with his horse, Champion; Smiley Burnette, who was here the following year; and Sari and Sallie, a popular WSM Radio “hillbilly gossip team” who were here several times in recent years. (February 29, 1940) The federal WPA program in recent months has spent $98,180 building ‘ward’ schools here, 45 percent of the cost of 12 new school buildings. They included the Nash Chapel school, the Midway school on the Algood Road, and two new five•room schools in Cookeville. The WPA also in recent months has renovated theMonterey school and built a new auditorium for the Algood school. (February 29, 1940) Ground was broken this week onBaxter Seminary’s new Health House, a golden Jubille project of the Tennessee Daughters of the American Revolution. The DAR raised most of the funds to build the new two•story building and its two side wings. Speaking of DAR….Nancy Grace of Baxter, a Baxter Seminary senior, was named this year’s winner of the DAR Award for Good citizenship. *Putnam County’s federal program is wrapping up, says resident engineer C. W. Griscom, who’s been here for the past seven months building new schools and renovating existing ones. The new Nash’s Chapel School is the final school being built in the federal project. It’s due to be done April 1. In all, the project spent $98,000 to build 12 new schools here, with the federal government paying 45 percent of that cost. In the project, two new five•room schools were built in Cookeville, and new schools were also built at Midway on the Algood Road and at Shipley. Monterey’s school was repaired and renovated, Algood School got a brand new gymnasium, and the school at Silver Point was also renovated.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: LTC Chris Messina Dec. 22, 2020 OFFICE: 615.313.0662 20-42 [email protected] Tennessee State Guard Receiving New Commander NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Maj. Gen. Jeff Holmes, Tennessee’s Adjutant General, announced today that Brig. Gen. (Tenn.) Juan R. Santiago, from Memphis, is to become the new commander of the Tennessee State Guard. “Gen. Santiago is a committed Soldier and volunteer,” said Holmes. “He is a talented leader and I am looking forward to what he will bring to his new role in the State Guard.” For more than 30 years, Santiago has served in the military as a member of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Air Force Reserves, or the Tennessee State Guard. He is a veteran of Desert Storm and served as an Information Technology (Cyber) Officer for the Air Force. As a volunteer in the Tennessee State Guard, Santiago served in multiple leadership positions including Regimental Commander, Chief of Staff, and Deputy Commanding General for Operations. He is also the Executive Director of the State Guard Association of the United States. Santiago is scheduled to assume command from Brig. Gen. (Tenn.) Craig Johnson, who has been the commander of the State Guard since August 2016, in an official ceremony in February 2021. “Johnson has done a fantastic job for more than four-and-a-half years,” said Holmes. “It is a great loss to our State but his retirement is well deserved after spending more than 35 years in uniform.” The Tennessee State Guard is the all-volunteer arm of the Tennessee Military Department headquartered in Nashville.

  • Baker V. Carr in Context: 1946-1964
    BAKER V. CARR IN CONTEXT: 1946-1964 Stephen Ansolabehere and Samuel Issacharoff1 Introduction Occasionally in all walks of life, law included, there are breakthroughs that have the quality of truth revealed. Not only do such ideas have overwhelming force, but they alter the world in which they operate. In the wake of such breakthroughs, it is difficult to imagine what existed before. Such is the American conception of constitutional democracy before and after the “Reapportionment Revolution” of the 1960s. Although legislative redistricting today is not without its riddle of problems, it is difficult to imagine so bizarre an apportionment scheme as the way legislative power was rationed out in Tennessee, the setting for Baker v. Carr. Tennessee apportioned power through, in Justice Clark’s words, “a crazy quilt without rational basis.”2 Indeed, forty years after Baker, with “one person, one vote” a fundamental principle of our democracy, it may be hard to imagine what all the constitutional fuss was about. Yet the decision in Baker, which had striking immediate impact, marked a profound transformation in American democracy. The man who presided over this transformation, Chief Justice Earl Warren, called Baker “the most important case of [his] tenure on the Court.”3 Perhaps the simplest way to understand the problem is to imagine the role of the legislator faced with the command to reapportion legislative districts after each decennial Census. Shifts in population mean that new areas of a state are likely to emerge as the dominant forces of a legislature. But what if the power to stem the tide were as simple as refusing to reapportion? It happened at the national level when Congress, realizing that the swelling tide of immigrant and industrial workers had moved power to the Northeast and the Midwest, simply refused to reapportion after the 1920 Census.

It was on a double bill with Jacques Tourneur’s acknowledged film noir classic Out of the Past, which I liked a lot more than Hunter. The latter seemed over acted and strange to me, and I found it much easier to enjoy a film about a private detective who was lured into violence and crime by a beautiful femme fatale. Out of the Past seemed more realistic and cooler, because it had people smoking cigarettes in dimly lit rooms and because it was full of banter with sexual innuendo.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Hargett Jr., Adjutant General Brigadier General Terry Max Haston, Assistant Adjutant General, Army Major General William R. Cotney, Assistant Adjutant General, Air James H. Bassham, Director, Tennessee Emergency Management Agency The volunteer spirit and Tennessee, an inseparable combination since 1780 when Colonel John Sevier called for “100 good men”—and 200 answered—has been a source of pride for generations of Tennesseans. The name, “The Volunteer State,” later was sealed in history forever when a Tennessean, President James K. Polk, issued a nationwide call for a total of 50,000 volunteers to fight in the war with Mexico. Tennessee had a quota of 2,600, and 26,000 stepped forward. The number was so large that it required that “lots” be drawn to see who would be allowed to go. Today, that spirit is still alive and well with the Tennessee Military Depart- ment and the Tennessee National Guard. More than 14,000 Tennessee men and women are members of the Tennessee Army and Air National Guard. They serve as full partners with active duty American men and women worldwide to make up the “Total Force” of American defense. Nationwide, the Army National Guard contributes more than half of the Army’s total combat strength for about 9 percent of the total budget. The Air National Guard performs about 35 percent of the total Air Force missions for about 6 percent of the entire annual Air Force budget.
