# Babb's Beach

Babb's Beach is a municipal public recreation area located at 435 Babbs Rd. in Suffield, Connecticut. It is the former site of what was known as Babb's Beach Amusement Park, a small amusement park that was active in the first half of the 20th century. At its height in the 1930s, the surviving dance hall hosted dances for up to 3,000 weekend patrons. The property, owned by the town since 1977, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

## Description and history

Babb's Beach is located in northwestern Suffield, on the eastern shore of the Middle Pond of the Congamond Lakes, which separate Suffield from Southwick, Massachusetts. The property is about 7 acres (2.8 ha) in size, and has 375 feet (114 m) of shoreline that is mostly beaches. The beach is separated from the balance of the property by a low bluff. The remainder of the property is an open grassy area, with the surviving buildings of the amusement park era on the northern edge. A split-rail fence separates the property from the road, with an opening and a short gravel drive leading to an informal parking area.
The most significant building is a large dance hall; other surviving buildings are an arcade, a shooting gallery, and a small generator shed. The dance hall is a single-story wood frame structure, with a central hip-roofed element ringed on three sides by extensions for services, and with a smaller projection on the north side for the stage area.
The Congamond Lakes began to develop as a leisure and recreational destination beginning in the 1850s, following the construction of the New Haven and Northampton Railroad along the former route of the Farmington Canal, which had used the lakes as part of its route. Curtis Babb capitalized on the increasing popularity of the lakes as a destination by building a series of small cabins on the lakefront, and offering steamship service to the train on the far shore. Babb's son Nelson took over the property in the 1910s, and expanded its facilities. He converted a horse barn into a dance hall, and also built a bathhouse and boathouse on the waterfront. Facing competition from other lakefront amusement operators, he also offered a variety of rides, including a merry-go-round that was built on a platform in the lake. The dance hall proved a major draw, and was eventually replaced by a larger structure. Performers at the venue included Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, and Kay Kaiser.
Business declined during the Great Depression, which Nelson Babb sought to counter by offering more amusements. He built an arcade, and adapted the dance hall to permit roller skating. The hall became known as one of the region's finest for that activity. Business declined after World War II, and was dealt a significant blow by Hurricane Diane, which destroyed the park's waterfront facilities in 1955. Babb turned the property over to the town in 1977, but continued to operate the dance hall as a roller skating facility until 1997.

# Ashleworth Court

Ashleworth Court is a grade I listed house close to the River Severn in Ashleworth, Gloucestershire, England.
The site has revealed pottery from Roman Britain. Ashleworth was donated to the church in the 12th century. The blue lias stone house was built around 1460 for Bristol Abbey. It has been revised several times including the division of the great hall with a new upper floor in the 17th century. The thatched roof has been replaced with tiles. The house is close to, and associated with Ashleworth Tithe Barn and the local Anglican church forming an example of an Augustinian rectorial manor.

## History

The estate was donated by the Earl of Berkeley in the 12th century. The house was completed around 1460 for Bristol Abbey while John Newland, (1481–1515) was the abbot.
The building was altered in the 16th and 17th centuries. The hall was revised and an upper floor created, and then in the 18th century internal partitions were added, although these have since been removed.
Excavations and trial pits during 2013 as part of the planning to turn the court into a wedding venue revealed 1st century Roman-British pottery. It is now used as a Bed and breakfast.

## Architecture

The blue lias stone building has a tiled roof, although it previously had a thatched roof with three chimney stacks. The house retains is great hall and cross passage, in the four-room main block, along with wings at either end of the rear of the building. There is an oriel with a stone spiral staircase.

# Hortobágy labor camps

The forced labor camps of Hortobágy were established by the communist regime in the eastern parts of Hungary in the early 1950s.
Between 1950 and 1953 about ten thousand people were taken here without a legal verdict. They worked under armed supervision and in inhumane conditions on the state farms in Hortobágy, Nagykunság and Hajdúság.
The deportations began on June 23, 1950. Thousands of families from the western and southern borders, deemed unsafe because of the Cold War by the government at the time (Dobi István, Rákosi Mátyas, Nagy Imre), were taken to the twelve labor camps on the Alföld. They had barely an hour to pack, their papers were taken and their beds were about half a meter wide. Their forced labor took place on nearby villages'state farms until the first Nagy Imre government declared an amnesty in July 1953.
The camps were closed that fall. The prisoners could not return to their homes and were employed as unskilled laborers. The state confiscated their real estate and money, which hoped to frighten the population. None were compensated.

# John Walson

John Walson, Sr. (born John Walsonavich; March 25, 1915 – March 27, 1983) was an American appliance store owner. Based in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania, Walson worked for Pennsylvania Power & Light before starting a General Electric franchise out of his home in 1945. He founded Service Electric in 1948; the family-owned cable television provider services Pennsylvania and northwestern New Jersey.
Walson is widely considered to have invented cable television in 1948. The popular account involves him solving problems receiving radio signals from Philadelphia television stations, which were blocked by mountaintops. His claim is recognized by the U.S. Congress and the National Cable Television Association and has been repeated by journalists and scholarly sources alike. However, it has also been contested; research arguing against Walson's claim was published in the Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media in 1996.

## Early life and education

John Walsonavich was born in Forest City, Pennsylvania on March 25, 1915, to Andrew and Anastasia Walsonavich. According to Service Electric, his family moved to Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania and he graduated from the local high school. He briefly attended Loyola University Chicago before moving to the Coyne Electrical School. Returning to Mahanoy City in 1934, Walsonavich began working as a lineman and occasional repairman for Pennsylvania Power & Light (PP&L). In 1945, PP&L left the appliances business, leading Walsonavich to begin running a General Electric franchise out of his home with the help of his newlywed wife, Margaret Walsonavich née Kowatch, while also continuing with PP&L. As an adult, Walsonavich legally changed his surname to Walson.

## Invention of cable television

Walson needed to solve problems receiving signals from Philadelphia television stations, which were blocked by the mountains surrounding the town. Walson erected an antenna on a utility pole on a local mountaintop that enabled him to demonstrate the televisions in his store with strong broadcasts coming from the three Philadelphia stations. He connected the antenna to his appliance store via a cable and modified signal boosters. He then connected several of his customers who were located along the cable path. This was the first community antenna television (CATV) system in the United States.
Walson's company grew over the years, and he is recognized as the founder of the cable television industry. He was also the first cable operator to use microwave to import distant television stations, the first to use coaxial cable to improve picture quality, and the first to distribute pay television programming.
His descendants now own Service Electric, which is a family-owned cable TV provider serving Pennsylvania and Northwestern New Jersey.
