August 1945


But most important of all:


With newsreel footage of things gettin' blowed up
reeeeal good. Why can't going to the movies today
be this fun?
August 16:
Birmingham gets
newspapers for
the first time since
July 11th ...
and misses the
whole end of
World War II
in the meantime!  


And now for the IMPORTANT news that happened
during the five-week strike ... what was going on
in the funny papers!


WHAT?  You haven't started thinking about your Christmas
shopping yet?  What are you waiting for, THANKSGIVING?!?
