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.

Of Motorists and Enemy Aliens


Jan. 2, 2017, Roanoke Times (Va)   "Looking Back."

1942, 75 Years Ago.

***  "Motorists, having resigned themselves to the dictum that they will be unable to get new automobile tires for ordinary purposes, have swamped garages and repair shops to get their present tires retreaded and to buy scrapped ones."

***  "Today is the last day for enemy aliens to turn their short wave radios and cameras over to police authorities in Roanoke."

Wonder why?
