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.

About Those Christmas Decorations
From the December 19, 2018, MidWeek.
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"American people are being asked by J.A. Krug, director of the Office of Utilities, to confine Christmas lighting decorations to the Christmas trees inside private homes. It had has been asked that street decorations, Community Christmas trees, exterior home decorations, and interiors and exteriors of commercial establishments dispense with decorations this year insofar as lighting is concerned.
"Government and industry have combined in a nationwide conservation campaign to save critical fuels and materials necessary to produce and consume electricity. Electric light bulbs are particularly short at present and strict conservation of them is necessary."
