Millbrook – Then and Now According to an article in The Daily Record from November 1, 1946, the first seven houses in Millbrook were built sometime before 1838. The Millbrook Mill was built in 1816 and was, in 1946, the oldest business establishment in Wayne County. Nestling on a knoll half a mile off the Wooster-Shreve road, Millbrook was a quiet, rural village in the 1940s. There were fewer than 100 souls living there with a general store run by Roy Chase and the water-driven mill was still in operation at the time making cider. Also shown in the photos are Guy Kister (standing at right), who owned the mill at the time, with Dr. R. C. Paul (standing at left). Karl Troutman is also shown kneeling next to the culvert pipe at “Landis Spring” which powered the mill. Today you can still see the old mill building and several other historic sights in Millbrook.
Local News October 5, 1946 – Lee McAfee, who is 77 years old, cut 100 shocks of corn while working on the Ben Mykrantz farm east of Jefferson in eight hours one day this week. November 7, 1946 – The business of tabulating the vote in the election board office Tuesday night was eased up for a short time at one period. It was when John Nickes, operator of the Palace Restaurant, sent over sandwiches and coffee for the staff as a “refresher” when some felt they might be on the verge of “bogging down.” November 11, 1946 – Over 150 cakes were given away during the Freedlander birthday cake party. This represents the greatest number of sales ever recorded since the cake event started many years ago. Every time 31 transactions were made, someone received a cake. This figure is 2 • Now & Then
arrived at by giving two cakes for the total of 62 years in business. Cakes were made by Shank's Pastry Shop in chocolate and white. November 19, 1946 – A Wayne County FFA boy, Irvin Hostetler, associated with his father A.J. Hostetler, has reared approximately 1,000 turkeys which are going into the Thanksgiving and Christmas market. The Hostetler farm is located almost adjacent to Orr Park in Orrville. November 29, 1946 – Rittman's brown out was changed to an all-night complete blackout at 10:10 o'clock last night when an Erie freight train was wrecked, tearing down high tension wires and damaging the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Trent...The first notice Rittman people received of the wreck were tow blinding flashes...the the whole town was plunged into darkness.

Bank Nights
at the Movies
Article by RANDY WILSON NOW & THEN CONTRIBUTOR
D
o you remember Bank Night? Theatre ads in newspapers across the country would shout TONIGHT IS BANK NIGHT! on a given night of the week (it was Thursday in Wooster). Crowds would flock to the theatres clutching their tickets in hopes of winning a prize. Bank Night was a form of lottery used to promote the film industry in the 1930s, when the Great Depression made some consumers reluctant to spend money, especially on frivolities like movies. Although Bank Night was a short-lived tradition, some historians have suggested that it may have contributed significantly to the income of many movie theaters, allowing them to survive during the lean period of the Depression. By 1940, Bank Night had vanished entirely, thanks to Bank Night bans and shifting ideas about how to do business. On Bank Night, people could go to the theater and put their names in for a lottery of prizes. Technically, no purchase was necessary, but many people did buy movie tickets, especially since Bank Night events often took place during intermission. As names were pulled and called, people had to hustle up to the stage to claim their prizes, or risk forfeiting them. Prizes ranged from various consumer goods to cash.
4 • Now & Then
Some theatres even called it Dish Night or Cash Night. The concept was developed by Charles Yaeger, who held the first Bank Night in 1931 in Colorado. Recognizing a good thing when they saw it, many movie theaters tried to get in on the action, holding their own version. Yaeger established a franchise, however, allowing theaters to buy in to get official Bank Night equipment, swag, and films, and he protected his franchise aggressively, suing several theaters for holding Bank Nights of their own. Theatres often changed the name to avoid the lawsuits. Names included Prosperity Night, Treasure Night, Movie Sweepstakes Night and the most popular, Dish Night where a piece to a set of dishes was awarded each week to lucky winners who hoped to eventually end up with a complete set! In 1936, Bank Night was played at 5,000 of America's 15,000 active theaters, and copies of it were played at countless more. The popularity of Bank Night and similar schemes contributed to the resiliency of the film industry during the Great Depression more than any other single business tactic. The structure of Bank Night was designed to work around the strict restrictions against playing the lottery which were present in many states. Because people didn't need to purchase anything, Bank Night wasn't subject to regulation, even though it was obviously a form of lottery. However, some theaters began to resist the idea, and
Bank Night's popularity declined rapidly after its peak in 1936. The fad had all but disappeared by the end of the 30’s, first to competing games such as Screeno and other lottery-like games, but popularity further declined as cities such as Chicago and New York City took stances against Bank Night and similar games in 1936, and soon theater owners in many jurisdictions faced arrest or fines for running Bank Nights. The improving economy and World War II also contributed to changing consumer tastes. Bank Night was the plot of the 1936 Charley Chase short Neighborhood House. Bank Nights were jokingly referenced in the films After the Thin Man and Calling All Husbands (1940) . It is also mentioned in at least two Warner Brothers cartoons directed by Tex Avery: A Day at the Zoo and Thugs with Dirty Mugs (both released in 1939). Bank Nights were also humorously referenced in the Hope/Crosby film Road to Singapore (1940) and the 1939 film adaptation of the Rodgers and Hart musical On Your Toes. Today, Bank Night lives on primarily in the form of a side note to 1930s film history, explaining how some theaters survived when others struggled. For people in the troubled economic times of the 1930s, however, Bank Night would have been a very exciting event, especially in smaller towns, and it was often eagerly anticipated by residents. Sometimes the cash prizes could be quite large. The Bank Night concept is used today by nonprofits as a nostalgic fund raiser for audiences to catch a classic movie with hopes of winning that big prize and all for a good cause.
The top grossing movies for 1936 were San Francisco starring Clark Gable, Jeanette MacDonald and Spencer Tracy and The Great Ziegfeld starring Robert Powell, Myrna Loy and Luise Rainer. Both films were from MGM. During the 1930s, the animated short film series Felix the Cat was finishing its run in theaters, while Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies and Popeye were going strong. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, an hourly wage in 1935 would have been $0.58 for manufacturing jobs, $0.71 for communications and public utilities and $0.78 for finance, insurance and real estate jobs.
Here’$ looking at you kid. A Night At The Movies In The 1930s According to Box Office Mojo, the average price for a movie ticket in 1936 was $0.25.

Shoulder Pain or Shoulder
Weakness?
Article by DR. RODNEY MILLER, MD NOW & THEN CONTRIBUTOR
S
houlder pain is a very common problem for adults and active youth. The shoulder has the widest range of motion of any joint in the body. Great stresses at the joint increase its chance for injury. A rotator cuff tear is a common cause of pain and disability among adults. Approximately 2 million people in the United States visit their doctor each year because of rotator cuff problems. A rotator cuff tear can occur with or without a specific injury. It can be related to aging, or possibly just overuse. A tear may be partial or complete of one or more of the 4 tendons that compromise the rotator cuff. Rotator cuff muscles come together as tendons to form a covering around the head of the humerus, (arm bone). The rotator cuff attaches the humerus to the scapula (shoulder blade) and helps to lift and rotate the arm. The bursa is a lubricating sac above the rotator cuff and below the acromion, the top part of the scapula. The bursa allows the rotator cuff tendons to glide freely when the arm is moved. The bursa can be inflamed and painful with or

without associated rotator cuff tendon injury. The bursa and or rotator cuff tendons can also be impinged by a bone spur on the acromion, causing shoulder pain. Risk factors for rotator cuff tears include age greater than 40, repetitive lifting and or overhead activities. Athletes such as tennis players or baseball pitchers are at risk. Painters, carpenters, and other overhead work increase the risk of shoulder pain and rotator cuff injury. Tears in younger adults may be caused by traumatic injuries such as falling. Symptoms of rotator cuff tears can include pain at rest and at night, pain when lifting or lowering the arm, weakness with lifting or rotating the arm, and a grinding sensation with arm movement. A traumatic tear may occur from one specific incident and be very painful and cause immediate weakness. A degenerative tear that develops slowly may or may not cause as much pain and weakness. If you are having shoulder pain and/or shoulder weakness, an orthopaedic surgeon can evaluate and treat this problem. Early treatment can prevent symptoms from progressing. Delayed treatment can make a repair more difficult or sometimes impossible. A history and physical exam will be performed to check for neck and shoulder problems. A
"pinched nerve" in the neck can mimic shoulder problems. X-rays can be done to check for arthritis of the shoulder and to look for bone spurs. An MRI scan can be used to visualize the rotator cuff tendons, bursa, and other bone and soft tissues about the shoulder. This can show the extent of the rotator cuff damage and help determine the potential need for surgical intervention. Nonsurgical treatment such as rest, ice or heat, pain relieving ointments, physical therapy and/or chiropractic treatments, home exercise program, may be helpful for partial thickness tears, some full-thickness tears, bursitis, and or rotator cuff tendinitis. Over-the-counter pain medications can be utilized, but may have potential adverse side effects - so check with your physician or pharmacist before using them. Steroid pills or injections can also be used as an effective anti-inflammatory. Trying to regain shoulder motion in all directions as soon as possible actively and/ or passively is crucial to avoid permanent stiffness. Many patients can respond well to nonoperative treatment. Surgical treatment may be recommended if the pain does not improve with nonsurgical methods. Symptoms lasting
Celebra�ng 40 Years 1977 - 2017
more than 6 or 12 months, despite conservative measures, a large tear in a relatively young patient, significant weakness and/or loss of shoulder function, recent acute injury causing the tear may also be indications for surgical intervention. Rotator cuff surgery is often an arthroscopic procedure with possible removal of bone spurs, removal of painful bursal tissue, or possible mini-open incision for rotator cuff repair. The shoulder can also be treated for intra-articular biceps tendinitis, loose bodies, labrum tears etc. if needed. Recovery often involves 6 weeks of sling use with passive motion of the shoulder to avoid stiffness. Active motion of the shoulder is often resumed about 6 weeks after surgery. Strengthening of the rotator cuff repair begins typically about 12 weeks after surgery. Improvement in pain, weakness, and function is the goal of surgery, which is often very successful. The orthopaedic surgeons and physician assistants at Wooster Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center evaluate and treat patients with shoulder pain and all orthopedic needs.

Dan Raber's Vision For An Artisan's School
DAILY RECORD STAFF WRITER
f you’re going to dream, dream big. That way, when others share that dream, there is room for it to grow. Dan Raber’s dream of opening an artisan’s school, teaching skills of artisanal craftsmanship, has come to fruition with the help of a team of a dedicated group of individuals who share Raber’s vision. Deb Miller of Dublin serves as board president of the Colonial Homestead Artisans Guild, which is housed in the old laundromat at 181 W. Jackson St. in Millersburg. Mark Irvin of Smithville is the executive director. It is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), cultural-based learning environment, focused on the preservation of the country’s creative heritage. Board members include John Miller, Heather Miller, Raber, Caleb Miller, J.D. Plybon of Orrville, Andy Hyde and Charles Karn. These folks were on hand for an open house this past month at the Colonial Homestead Artisans Guild, along with several craftsman, including a blacksmith, reamer and rifling expert, woodcarvers, wood framers and much more. Colonial Homestead Artisans Guild began classes on Saturday, Oct. 14. A basic blacksmithing and introduction to hand tools class was the first day, with several other daylong classes in the following weeks. For information about class costs and requirements, contact Heather Miller at 330-4735532. “The majority of classes will be taught by longtime educators in the trades, who have spent time at places like Colonial Williamsburg, or the blacksmith shop in Roscoe Village,” Plybon said. “Dan came to me about two years ago with this idea,” Irvin said. “He told me to quit my job and come run his school. In

February, I met with Caleb (Miller), and we put our heads together and got the right people in place. “The building fell into our lap. I purchased the building and will be leasing it to the school,” he continued. “The location and layout of the building is perfect for what we want to do and what we need.” Caleb Miller said the building will be divided into two big rooms. “The front half will be a finished, fine joinery preservation, pottery; and the dirtier, gruffer trades, such as timber framing, blacksmithing, gun building, will be in the back half,” he said. Dan Raber's Dream “Dan’s vision is so big, that’s a necessary tool,” Caleb Miller added. “But what we’ve gathered since January is all the people who can get it done, do the marketing and fit all the pieces inside of that. From January, when it was an idea, to right now, we’re here and we have classes starting next week. It was Dan’s vision, but he talked to enough people who bought into it. Collectively, we put our heads together and Bill Hoover (in the red cap) decided to do it.” will be an instructor for It is through Raber’s the Reaming and Rifling networking skills that so class in November at Colonial Homestead many people have bought the Artisans Guild school in into his dream. Millersburg.
“He knows a lot of people. He knows so many people who do these trades,” said Deb Miller, President of the Colonial Homestead Artisans Guild. “I think his artisans’ gallery opened up a few doors.” She recalled meeting Raber through a Heritage Ohio project, “Retail is Detail.” She became friends with Raber, and he spoke with her about his dream of the school. “When I first started working with him, he just had the tool shop,” Miller said. “What I saw was an opportunity to expand what he was doing. And then he moved into the antiques and the art gallery. “At the time, he was talking about teaching people how to do things, and he was doing some teaching in his shop. One or two people would come in and he’d work with them, carving a gun stock or working on a piece of furniture. “I think a lot of this stems from his love of doing things he likes to do,” she continued. “He’s a pretty good businessman, and he saw this as an opportunity. I immediately latched onto this idea. If you look at Appalachia in general, there are a lot of artisans in this area. But there is really no one place to go to learn to be able to do those crafts.” An Impact On The Community Deb Miller works with the state and county municipalities and townships, helping revitalize downtowns to put new uses into them. There is nothing like this in Ohio, she said. “You have to go out of state to Wisconsin or Indiana, or Kentucky,” Miller said. “There are places that demonstrate, like Sauder Village or Ohio Village, where you can watch crafters, but they don’t teach. This is an enormous opportunity for Millersburg and the Holmes County area, to develop something like this. This could put Holmes County on the map in a very different way than tourism.” She added that the sustainability of crafts and trades has not been done in the state at all. Miller said as things develop in the future, she sees some accredited classes being taught through a trade school or a college offering a two-year historic preservation program they plan on expanding into a four-year program. “Hopefully, we can tie into Instructor Rod Hardy, a knife that,” Miller said. “There is maker and wood carver, was part of the open house in a lot of demand for people October. Also on hand were with highly skilled trades, Lt. Jeremiah Greensman and unfortunately they’re and his wife, mary Eddy Greensman, to talk about life not being taught in the in colonial times to visitors. traditional manner.”
But, for now, they are starting smaller. “What we envision happening here is, every weekend, Thursday through Saturday, this place is going to be full of upwards of four classes at a time,” she said. “That could bring anywhere from 25 to 40 people here on a weekend to take classes. “If you think about the potential impact on Millersburg, you’ve got lodging, food and beverage, entertainment, not to mention the other retail businesses,” Miller continued. “It can also help with recruitment of other businesses. This Blacksmith Rick could really have a huge economic Clay is one of the instructors who impact on the village.” The long-term vision includes the will be teaching the basics of fire purchase of 40 to 60 acres of land and building, tool use building a village format that would and basic skills host bigger classes, as well as events. of the blacksmith at the new Housing a museum dedicated to the trade school. pioneer tools used in this area and the products those tools created. Also on the drawing board, even more long term, would be the creation of an accredited apprenticeship program and a working artisan village where people could come to watch craftsmen making many items the old-fashioned way and selling their wares. “We’re starting small, but our vision is very big,” Miller added. “I see the vision. I know what this can do, because I’ve working in a lot of communities where things like this, initiatives have really spurred economic development. That’s what it’s all about.” Organizations such as The Ohio Arts Council, The Ohio Historic Connection, the Ohio Humanities, Ohio Mideastern Governement Association (OMEGA) and Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) are all interested in getting involved. “We’ve reached out to all of them,” Miller said. “ARC and OMEGA will help us with grant writing, and we’ll be able to get some grant funds from some of the Ohio organizations. Recently I met with a group called The Winding Road Initiative, that is all about bringing together tradespeople in Appalachia and promoting what they do.” Reporter Kevin Lynch can be reached at 330-674-5676 or klynch@the-daily-record.com.

Did You Know? Broadening one’s horizons through crafting can be a worthwhile pursuit. Crafting can serve as a relaxing pastime and provide an opportunity to learn rewarding skills. Learning to crochet is one way for men and women to combine creativity and practicality. Crochet is a form of handwork using yarn and a crochet hook. According to the Crochet Guild of America, there’s no way to know just how old the art of crochet is. However, crochet expert Annie Potter has said the modern form of the art originated in the 16th century, primarily in France and England. Others surmise crocheting traces its origins to Arabia before it spread westward through various Mediterranean trade routes.
