Abstract/Description

This 1940 map by Rand McNally shows that US 541 is today's US 41 and that US 41 originally was the name for today's US 301. It was not until the 1950s that US 541 was eliminated and US 41 was moved onto the former US 541 south of Tampa; US 301 ran along what had been US 41.

Tomato Processing Plant Overview.
-
Abstract/Description
-
Wide view of tomato processing plant. Note, in comparison, that the majority of work was by hand processing rather than machine processing. Given the more fragile nature of tomato processing is likely one reason that Dickman moved away from tomato processing in the 1950s to concentrate more on prepacked salad vegetables and cattle ranching.

In the first document, RELEASE OF RESERVATIONS, The Ruskin Commongood Society grants permission to run electric lines provided that no "manufacturing, banking, or mercantile business shall be conducted on lands with out specific Commongood Permission. It also shows that Adaline Dickman was president of the Society in 1926. Of even more importance is the third document, ORDINANCE by the Town of Ruskin. Little is know of the incorporation of Ruskin in the late 1920s, but this document attests to the fact that at some point,Ruskin was incorporated as a town in Hillsborough County. See page entitled DEED BOOK 806 Page 278. where, at the bottom, the resolution was "passed by the City Council of the Town of Ruskin, Florida in regular sessions assembled and signed by J. B. Thornton President of the City Council of the Town of Ruskin, Attested by the City Clerk, Cora Jones, and by Edward P. Buckland, Mayor of the Town of Ruskin Florida.

The New Order of Jesus (PDF - ORC Searchable).

Abstract/Description

This book is a compilation of research conducted by George Miller, founder or Ruskin Fl and Ruskin College. Ruskin, at times mislabeled as a socialist community, is better described as an "intentional community" where like minded people lived together for a common purpose: in this case a community bounded together for educational, intellectual and communitarian pursuits.

Ruskin, at times mislabeled as a socialist community, is better described as an "intentional community" where like minded people lived together for a common purpose: in this case a community bounded together for educational, intellectual and communitarian pursuits. Some of Dr. Miller's thinking involves ideas of Christian Socialism best expressed in his writings. Chief among them is "The New Order of Jesus." This work helps explain some of Miller's communitarian thinking, which formed -- at least in part -- his ideas for the community of Ruskin and Ruskin College. It is NOT a new translation of the New Testament. Rather it is a monograph that explores Millers beliefs that mistranslations of the Bible relied on mistranslations of certain words in the Greek language. Exploring these in detail, Miller describes a more worldly mission for Jesus without diminishing his role as a savior figure. In the Introduction, he explicit denies this is a work of theology. but rather one of sociological construct. His main thesis is that these mistranslations led to an incorrect understanding of Jesus' mission. By correcting these mistranslations one will be aided in applying Jesus' words and missions to social conditions that needed attention in turn of the century America.
