Episode 8 - July of 1929

Welcome to July of 1929! In July, President Hoover tasked a committee of experts to study the health and protection of children. He was an orphan himself and the New York Times speculated that "it is not too early to predict that whatever else he does, he will be remembered above all for what he has done for the children of the world." The workers and residents were ready to celebrate the 4th of July. The clubs and organizations of Muscatine were always ready to make sure the children had special moments. In July, we share how the elderly residents pitch in to help and also the tragic story of Rev. Julius Doden.
