TUESDAY TREASURES!

As we continue to move items into the new archive area, I'm seeing artifacts that I have never seen before. I know they were down there in the basement, but I have no idea where they were hiding.

One such item is this butter churn, which has been in the collection since 1966. It's believed to be from about 1925 to 1930. Here's the information that is save with it in the records:

Description: Dazey 6 gallon butter churn. It has a 6 gallon square container with a drain plug at the bottom. The container sits on a metal stand. The stand is connected to the upper assembly by two 1/2" diameter steel rods. There are four smaller diameter steel rods that angle from the edge to the center providing stabilization. The top assembly consists of a crank handle and a worm gear assembly to provide an increase in the rotation of the paddles when churning. The smaller worm gear is connected to the paddle shaft. There are four wooden paddles that churn the butter. There is a split wood cover that fits on top of the churn container.

Has anyone ever operated a butter church such as this one? ... See more

GOLDEN RULE DAYS!

In the archives of the Daily Globe, this photo is identified as being of the Worthington Junior College store. It is dated January 1948. However, there is no identification of the students in the photo, and it doesn't appear to have been published in the newspaper -- at least not that we can find in any issues close to that date.

At that time, the college was in the same building as Worthington High School, which in its later years was Worthington Junior High.

So the question is: Was the store the area in the back of Memorial Auditorium that was used as a concession stand? Or was this in a different area -- there does appear to be a locker right next to it?

Does anyone have any insight into the location of the college store? ... See more
