From the April 17, 2012, Wilmington (NC) Star-News "Back Then."
APRIL 1, 1942: A page one story "Rooms Are Needed Here for Workers-- Residents Urged to List All Available Living Quarters at Once."
APRIL 9, 1942: Headline: "Non-Essential Building Must Cease Today." This was nationwide edict from the War Production Board. No non-essential residences, roads or commercial buildings were to be built for the war's duration.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
