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.

Relocated Japanese in Union Grove, Wisconsin, Moving to Shabbona, Illinois, to Work in Hemp Industry in 1945

From the September 23, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1945, 75 Years Ago.

"Announcement was made at Union Grove, Wisconsin,  that approximately 25  relocated Japanese  who have been working on government  contracts there, will leave to work at Shabbona"

They will be employed at the war hemp industries at Shabbona, according to the announcement, leaving Union Grove for Shabbona today."

I didn't know there were relocated Japanese this far east.
