From the August 19, 2020, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"Quiet settled over the city today and all that remained of last evening's Victory Celebration was debris along main street. From shortly after six o'clock, when the fire whistle signaled the Japs had accepted the peace terms, the business area was a beehive of activity.
"With horns blaring, cow bells ringing, noise makers of all types sounding, and the occupants of the cars cheering lustily, the crowd grew by the minute nd within an hour after the announcement was received, the impromptu celebration was in full swing. There was joy and thanksgiving in the hearts of all."
