One of the first of the city's foodhandlers to report of X-rays for tuberculosis in the basement of City Hall this morning was Mrs. Leverett H. Kelly of 1107 Oakland Ave., wife of the manager of Miller's Dairy Farm Store at 1219 S. University Ave. Mrs. Kelly qualified for classification as a foodhandler because she sometimes helps out her husband in the store. Approximately 800 to 1,000 foodhandlers are expected to be given the tests through Tuesday. It is the first time in the city that such a widespread check on the foodhandlers has been attempted. A State Health Department technician stands by as Mrs Kelly is given the X-rays.

A Day at the Dairy: Ann Arbor's Washtenaw Dairy

"A Day At The Dairy brings viewers though the spectrum of a full day at Washtenaw Dairy in the summer of 2024 — opening with coffee and donuts before sunrise until the final ice cream is served after sunset. Since its founding in 1934 as an outlet for dairy farmers to sell their milk, through expanding with ice cream and a donut enterprise reaching all over town, "The Dairy" has provided commodities and served as a community hub in Ann Arbor for 90 years. Owner and President Mary Jean Raab recounts its history alongside a cross section of a day's customers who share what's kept them coming back for a tasty treat, time and time again." - Filmmakers Donald Harrison & Isabel Ratner

In this episode, AADL Talks To Ken Burns. Ken is a documentary filmmaker known for his critically acclaimed films exploring all facets of American culture. Ken reflects on growing up and coming of age in Ann Arbor during the 1960s, and how this period of intense political and cultural activity mixed with family tragedy charted his journey. He takes us down the streets we remember -- past restaurants and theaters that have come and gone -- and through a back alleyway during the 1969 South University Street Riot. Along the way, he highlights the people, places, and vibrant musical and cinema culture that left its mark on his work.
