From the October 8, 2014, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
October 11, 1939.
**"Twelve joined the Navy at the Rockford office on October 3. It was the largest single quota ever to enlist at that office." Getting ready for war.
** "War bombs are deadly for the children of Europe, but automobiles are fatal enough for Illinois school children, the Illinois Road Builders Association declared."

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.
