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 Record Number of Telegrams Sent After Japanese Surrender: Great News, Big Changes

From the August 26, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1945, 75 Years Ago.

"Japan's surrender produced the largest volume of telegraphing in the nation's history as American business began work immediately to resume peacetime production and distribution, it was announced by R.S. Slack, Jr. of the DeKalb office.

"Here and throughout the nation, the volume of telegrams last week sent the 1945 volume line skyrocketing off the charts and  and exceeded even the busiest weeks of the war."
