Season 2: July of 1930

from The Homes (Life at the Homes) · host Researched and hosted by Andrew Newell and Karen Thalacker. Sound edited by Robert Newell.

Welcome to July of 1930! It's summertime at the Homes and that means a 4th of July celebration and lots of visitors. You'll learn about a book that was used to plan outdoor activities and about the children's participation in a promotion from the Eastman-Kodak company. Even in the midst of all the fun, young and old are canning garden produce for the long winter. On a somber note, Muscatine is on the verge of a rabies outbreak and in a few months will be described by an official as "rotten with rabies." Dogs like Adolph (from our June of 1930 episode) will no longer be free to roam the streets of the city.
