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.

Even License Plates in the War Effort

From the August 2, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1945, 75 Years Ago.

"Illinois automobile license plates in 1946 will have white figures on a maroon background, Secretary of State Edward J. Barrett announced today.

"As for the past three years,  the plates will be made of plastic to conserve war-needed metal."
