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.

A Tale of Dog Tags and Dogs in 1943


From the May 16, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1943, 75 Years Ago.

"Not only are the auto license plates no longer being made of metal but the new dog tags which have been received by DeKalb are being made of some plastic instead of metal as in the past."

And, speaking of dogs.

From the May 23, 2018, MidWeek  (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1943, 75 Years Ago.

"Complaints continue to be received at the police station from indignant residents who are working after hours seeking a successful victory garden, but say the work is discouraging, to say the least, due to the number of dogs roaming in the city."

Mutts!!  STAY OUT of the Gardens!!!  --GreGen
