THURSDAY, JULY 29: RAINY DAYS

Profile America — Thursday, July 29th. Most of us can’t be certain what the weather is going to be on any given day, but the folks in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, southwest of Pittsburgh, are pretty certain it will rain today. According to local records, rain has fallen on this date 111 times in the last 135 years. This has inspired an annual Rain Day Festival in the town, with a street fair, entertainment and a beauty contest. The festival is silenced at one point to honor the 250 soldiers from Greene County in the 110th infantry — nearly half of whom were either killed or wounded in combat on July 29, 1918. Waynesburg is not among the rainiest cities in the U.S., that honor belongs to Juneau, Alaska, with 217 days of measurable precipitation annually. Profile America is in its 14th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

TUESDAY, JULY 27: INSULIN

Profile America — Tuesday, July 27th. On this date in 1921, two researchers at the University of Toronto, Dr. Frederick Banting and Charles Best, gave the first insulin shot in history to a dog. The next year, a dying young boy was injected and helped. The first commercial insulin was made available to a desperate public later in 1922. Banting and Best sold their patent for insulin to the University of Toronto for $1. Banting received the Nobel Prize for his work, and shared his prize money with Charles Best. Even with modern advancements, some 72,500 people die of the effects of diabetes each year in the U.S. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.

SUNDAY, JULY 25: TRANSATLANTIC TELEGRAPH

Profile America — Sunday, July 25th. Most of us think the ability to quickly communicate with someone on another continent is all part of the explosion in technology of the last few decades. But the first successful transatlantic telegraph cable was completed on this date in 1866, when the ship Great Eastern finished laying a cable from Ireland to Newfoundland, a distance of nearly 1,700 nautical miles. It cost $1 to send a letter — at a time when the average wage was about $20 a month. Now, in spite of satellites, international telephone service still largely depends on cables, but they are made of high-capacity fiber optics. Americans make more than 37 million international calls every day — both for personal conversation and to link computers. Profile America is in its 14th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

FRIDAY, JULY 23: LEARNING HOW TO SWIM

Profile America — Friday, July 23rd. All over the country, wherever there’s water — at pools, lakes, rivers and at the seashore — people are swimming and learning to swim. Even young infants take swimming lessons, in classes called “water babies.” The first swimming school in the U.S. opened on this date in 1827. It was on the Charles River in Boston, and students were suspended in a harness from a long pole. Among those first students were future President John Quincy Adams and naturalist and painter James Audubon. Today, more than 52 million people enjoy swimming on a regular basis — making it one of our favorite sporting activities, topped only by exercise walking and exercising with equipment.

TUESDAY, JULY 20: LOCUST PLAGUE

Profile America — Tuesday, July 20th. Beginning on this date in 1874, the largest swarm of Rocky Mountain locusts ever recorded blackened the skies from the Dakotas to Texas, and stripped farm fields in minutes. The swarm is estimated to have been 1,800 miles long and 110 miles wide. The locusts not only ate crops, but devoured leather saddles, and even brought trains to a halt. While not as large, similar swarms continued for several years. Then, in one of nature’s greatest mysteries, they simply disappeared, never to return. Today’s farmers don’t have to contend with such massive attacks, but still have a large variety of pests to contend with. To ward off such damage, U.S. farmers use $10 billion worth of pesticides each year. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.

MONDAY, JULY 19: CELL PHONES

Profile America — Monday, July 19th. We’ve all seen them and heard them. People on cell phones talking in heavy traffic while driving, or loudly discussing very private matters while shopping in the supermarket. Well, take hope — this is Cell Phone Courtesy Month — a time for those who just have to stay in touch, wherever they are, to pay more attention to the highway and to hold down the volume of their conversation if they’re in a public place. Cell phones exploded from a novelty to a necessity during the last decade. In 1990, there were some 5 million cell phone users. Now, that number is just over 270 million. That means that about nine-out-of-10 of all Americans have a cell phone. Our average bill for this convenience is just over $50 a month.

SUNDAY, JULY 18: STAYING COOL

Profile America — Sunday, July 18th. On these blistering hot summer days when we walk from the heat into a cool office, business, or home, we can thank a man many of us never heard of — Willis Carrier. Known as the “father of air conditioning,” Carrier patented what he called an “apparatus for treating air” in 1906. His idea has fundamentally changed the way most Americans live, work and play. A good example is the surging population growth in some of the nation’s warmest climates. Air conditioning came into widespread use following World War II. Even by 1960, only 12 percent of homes in the U.S. were equipped. Today, two-thirds of houses in the nation have central air conditioning. Of the remaining homes, six-out-of-10 have window units.

THURSDAY, JULY 15: WATER GARDENS

Profile America — Thursday, July 15th. Many homeowners have discovered the pleasure of having a garden pond in their backyard. That’s why this is National Water Gardening Month, featuring home tours, seminars, and festivities at garden centers around the nation. While the installation of a pond is hard work, the peaceful sounds of a fountain or waterfall, and the colorful water lilies and other plants are a source of lasting beauty and enjoyment. Many ponds are stocked with either Koi or goldfish, which can survive through the winter even in colder climates. Ten percent of U.S. households have a water feature as part of their gardens and they spend close to a billion dollars a year on their hobby.

TUESDAY, JULY 13: PARKING METERS

Profile America — Tuesday, July 13th. One of our least favorite inventions first appeared in Oklahoma City this week in 1935. It’s the one that must be fed coins, under threat of either fines or towing. What else, but the parking meter? Just as today, local governments were then straining to fund the roads and facilities needed to handle the dramatically increasing number of cars. Parking meters quickly spread to towns and cities across the nation and even created a new kind of job — the meter reader. At the same time, pay parking lots and garages began to spring up. Now a major business, there are more than 16,000 commercial parking facilities in the U.S., which take in more than $7 billion a year in parking fees.

SATURDAY, JULY 10: ARTHUR ASHE

Profile America — Saturday, July 10th. One of the more remarkable figures in U.S. sports was born 67 years ago today in Richmond, Virginia — Arthur Ashe. His exceptional abilities on the tennis court were evident in high school and he went on to compile a long list of firsts as an African- American player. During his playing career, Ashe won 33 titles, including the Wimbledon Men’s Singles. He was elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and helped create inner city tennis programs for youth. A blood transfusion during heart surgery infected him with the HIV virus, and he died of pneumonia at the age of 49. More than 12 million people in the U.S. play tennis each year, including three million aged 7 to 17.

FRIDAY, JULY 9: FIRST OPEN HEART SURGERY

Profile America — Friday, July 9th. This is the anniversary of the first successful open heart surgery. The year of this pioneering event may surprise you — it was 1893. The operation took place at Chicago’s Provident Hospital, and was performed by noted African-American Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, who sutured a heart wound suffered in a stabbing. Today, open heart procedures are common, assisted by devices such as heart and lung machines. Each year, close to 450,000 heart bypass operations are performed, and well as over a million obstructed arteries cleared. Even more sophisticated, there are some 2,200 heart transplants performed annually — operations undreamed of in Dr. Williams’ day.

TUESDAY, JULY 6: JOHN PAUL JONES

Profile America — Tuesday, July 6th. On Sunday, we celebrated our nation’s Declaration of Independence. Today, we honor the birthday of one of the heroes of the Revolutionary War — John Paul Jones. Born in Scotland in 1747, Jones is known as the father of the U.S. Navy. He is especially remembered for his response when asked if he wished to surrender during the battle between his ship, the Bonhomme Richard and the British frigate, Serapis. He said, “I have not yet begun to fight.” Today, the U.S. Navy stands ready to defend the country with a force of some 332,000 men and women, nearly one-third of them serving aboard ships, including aircraft carrier battle groups in strategic areas around the world.

MONDAY, JULY 5: ZIP CODES

Profile America — Monday, July 5th. This is a key week in postal history. The first stamps issued by the U.S. Post Office went on sale in 1847. A five cent stamp pictured Benjamin Franklin, while one costing 10 cents honored George Washington. Before then, there were no uniform stamps — a haphazard system of private postal services around the country had issued their own. And in 1963, the postal service introduced the five digit zip code to help speed mail to the proper destination. That year, Americans sent nearly 68 billion pieces of mail. Today, the postal service handles nearly 208 billion pieces of mail annually — which works out to about two items for each person in the country every day. Profile America is in its 14th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.
