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.

Some Landlords Not Being Very Patriotic
From the Oct. 15, 2013, Wilmington (NC) Star-News "Back Then" by Scott Nunn.
From the Oct. 22, 1943, newspaper. From the 1930s to 1950s nationally syndicated newspaper columnist Ruth Millett discussed controversial issues in her column, We The Women, which ran in more than 400 papers, including the Wilmington Star-News.
Today she wrote about women and their children being turned away by landlords, even with their husbands fighting overseas or even killed. Wilmington's housing shortage was severe during the war and many public housing units were built.
These Landlords Certainly Weren't Showing Patriotism. --GreGen
