    Genie a feral child is taken to Children's Hospital Los Angeles after her mother enters a welfare office in Temple City, California, to seek benefits for the blind. Genie had spent nearly all of the first thirteen years of her life locked in her bedroom. During the day, she was tied to a child's potty chair in diapers and at night, she was bound in a sleeping bag and placed in an enclosed crib with a cover made of metal screening. She was never allowed to talk as her father beat her every time she made any sounds. At 13 years of age her vocabulary consisted of about 20 words. The movie Mockingbird Don't Sing was based on this tragic true story .

    AUTO AC
    November 4, 1939 - Detroit Michigan, U.S.A.

    The first air-conditioned automobile was exhibited by its manufacturer, Packard Motor Co. of Detroit Michigan. The public exhibition at the 40th Automobile Show in Chicago, Illinois ran between 4-12 Nov. Air in the car was cooled, dehumidified, filtered and circulated. Heat was provided for use in the winter. The refrigerating coils were located behind the rear seat in an air duct, with heating coils in another compartment of the same duct. The capacity of the unit was equivalent to 1.5 tons of ice in 24 hours when the car was driven at 60 mph. Cadillac followed in 1941. The huge evaporator left little room for luggage in the trunk, and the only way to shut it off was to stop, raise the hood, and remove the compressor belt. Cadillac followed in 1941.

LISTING INFORMATION :

Website preview thumbnail for : Park City Magazine
Was the Lodestar Magazine’s first issue was published in 1977, named in reference to the silver mining heritage that still formed much of Park City, Utah’s identity. The mines had been in decline for decades and so with it the community. In those days, our first ski resort had only recently opened and a quaint historic home just off Main Street would only set you back a few thousand dollars. With the addition of two more ski resorts, however, winter recreation eventually became the new “lodestar,” generating the silver that revitalized our local economy. As our community grew and evolved, so did the magazine, and in 1989 we officially changed our name to Park City Magazine. Our website brings you interesting and informative articles on local arts and culture, dining, business, shopping, real estate, travel and recreation.
