The newspaper ran a copy of the top of the August 15, 1945, Chicago Tribune's Two-Star Final. Three Cents-- Pay No More.

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.
