"Many people have already signed their names to the specially worded telegram now at the Western Union office of this city in objection to the proposal to convoy war materials across the sea to England, believing that this is the final step this country can take as a peaceful country that will lead to war.
"When the proper number of names, which cost five cents each to be affixed to the telegram, are signed, the message will be sent to President Roosevelt in prospect of the proposed measure, believed to be in a day or two."

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.
