This month in history

On January 5th, 1960 the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that a trust fund, set up by Benjamin Franklin’s will in 1791 to assist “young married artificers”, could not be divided before its 1991 maturity date, despite the fact that there were no more artificers who would benefit. Started by Franklin with the deposit of 1,000 pounds sterling, the fund had grown to $1,578,098 by 1960. By the time it was split between Massachusetts and Pennsylvania in 1991, the Fund was worth more than $6.5 million.

On January 31st Joseph McNeill, a 17-year-old college freshman, was turned away by a waitress with the words, “We don’t serve Negroes,” when he tried to get something to eat at the bus terminal in Greensboro, North Carolina. When he talked about it with three friends at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College, the four African-American students decided that they would take a stand against segregation. The next day, the four would sit down at the Woolworth’s Department Store lunch counter and refuse to get up until they were served, and the “sit-in” was created as a form of civil disobedience.

What’d Sadie think?

It’s two weeks at number one for “El Paso” by Marty Robbins before Johnny Preston’s “Running Bear” takes it for the rest of the month.

This month in history

On the first of the month ” – “The Antarctic Treaty” was signed by all 12 nations that had stations in Antarctica. It came into force on June 23, 1961. Article I provides that “Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only.”

Meanwhile on the fifteenth Major Joseph W. Rogers became the first person to travel faster than 1,500 miles per hour, and almost reached 2,500 kilometers per hour, breaking the world speed record at 1,525.96 mph (2,455.79 km/h), in an F-106 Delta Dart jet fighter. (For some reason I can’t embed this video.)

Then on December 17th, “On the Beach”, the Stanley Kramer film adaptation of Nevil Shute’s novel about World War III, premiered in 18 cities around the world, including New York, London and Moscow.

What’d Sadie think?

One last week at number 1 for “Mack The Knife” before Guy Mitchell’s “Heartaches By The Number” takes the top for two. Then its a week for our only “leave ’em” song of the month – “Why” by Frankie Avalon. Sorry Frankie,

This month in history

On November 9th the first Ski-doo, a snowmobile with a new, light-weight (30 pound) engine, was manufactured in Valcourt, Quebec. The lighter engine made snowmobiling more practical, and within a decade, more than 200,000 Ski-doos were being sold annually in North America.

On the 16th “The Sound of Music”, premiered on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Mary Martin starred as Maria von Trapp.

Then on the 18th, another pop-cultural classic, “Ben-Hur”, which would go on to win a record 12 Academy Awards, debuted at New York’s Loews Theater in 70 mm Ultra Panavision, before nationwide and then worldwide release.

Finally on the 20th The Declaration of the Rights of the Child, a set of ten principles introduced by the resolution, “Whereas, mankind owes to the child the best it has to give”, was passed unanimously by the United Nations, as Resolution 1386 of the 14th Session.

What’d Sadie think?

Two more weeks at number 1 for “Mack The Knife” before “Mr. Blue” by Fleetwoods gets the spot, only to have Mack regain it for the last week.

This month in history

On October 2 “The Twilight Zone” debuted on CBS television starting with the episode “Where Is Everybody?”.

Then on October 5th the IBM 1401 computer and data processing system was introduced, providing the first fully transistorized computer intended for business use. The three piece system, which could be rented for $2,500 a month, had a memory ranging from 1.4 KB to 16K, could read 800 punchcards per minute and could print 600 lines per minute.

On the 21st The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, popularly referred to as “the Guggenheim”, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, opened in New York.

Then on October 24th Playboy’s Penthouse began a brief run on syndicated television. Broadcast live from Chicago, the program was in the format of a cocktail party hosted by Hugh Hefner.

Finally on October 26, 1959: Earth’s people see the other side of the Moon for the first time when the Soviet Union’s Luna 3 spacecraft took a photograph.

What’d Sadie think?

It’s nearly December here in 2022 and its starting to feel christmasy, perhaps because it seems Sadie has been learning Xmas tunes at nursery and is spontaneously bursting into song. Meanwhile, let’s hear what they were listening to in September, 1959…

This month in history

On September 6th the first jet airliner landed in Honolulu, a Pan American 707. With the advent of jet travel, a trip to Hawaii was less than five hours from the mainland, turning the islands into a prime tourist destination. The same plane landed in Tokyo at 8 pm, cutting flight time between the United States and Japan from 29 hours to 17 hours.

The on the 12th “Bonanza” appeared for the first time on American television. The Western, first to be broadcast in color, ran for 14 seasons and 440 episodes until January 16, 1973. I remember it still being on in NZ as a child in the ’80s.

Then in tech news, on the 16th, the first successful plain paper copying machine, the Xerox 914, was introduced at a show at the Sherry-Netherland Hotel in New York.

What’d Sadie think?

Three different number ones this month – two weeks at the top The Browns, “The Three Bells” then two for “Sleep Walk” by Santo And Johnny and finally a week with the crown for Fats Domino’s, “Lavender Blue”.

This month in history

On August 7 six city blocks in downtown Roseburg, Oregon, were levelled at 1:20 a.m. by the explosion of a dynamite truck. The blast killed 14 people and left a 50-foot-wide (15 m) crater.

Then on August the 10th four of the five singers for The Platters, who had hit No. 1 earlier in the year with “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”, were arrested in Cincinnati and charged with soliciting prostitutes and using drugs. The charges were eventually dismissed, but the group’s concert dates were cancelled, and disc jockeys refused to play their records, for several months… scandel!

And on the 17th Pope John XXIII was presented the third part of the “Three Secrets of Fatima” in a sealed envelope, but decided against reading it. Pope John Paul II would release the contents in 2000. It’s an interesting tale I’d not heard about until just now.

What’d Sadie think?

A mixed lot at the top this month. “Lonely Boy” by Paul Anka holds it for a week before “A Big Hunk O’ Love” by Elvis Presley takes it for a couple, rounded out by The Browns “The Three Bells” for the last two weeks of August, 1959.
