In Lorain, it was decided that October 7th was to be the day of the big "Victory Day" celebration, with Lorain's most famous son, Fleet Admiral Admiral Ernest J. King attending.
Here's the page with the continuations of the front page stories.
Isn't it odd now, with private commercial enterprises sending manned rockets into space? It makes it easy for anyone to become an 'astronaut.'
Anyway, just for fun, here are a few more pages from that same 1965 edition of the Journal, including a full page with a story about the newly renovated Ted Jacobs store. There's also the 'Town Talk' page with more Lorain County fair stories, the all-important comic pages, and the TV page.
I appreciated this post Dan. I always enjoy reading the old comics and news from the sixties, but today especially enjoyed the detailed article on Ted Jacob’s store. Every department described brought back so many memories (that likely won’t apply to the regular gentleman readers): buying a fringed suede purse in the suede shop, a “baby-doll” style mini dress in teen dresses, picking out a ring made of my astrology sign at the jewelry counter with my mom for my birthday, and last - a “makeover” at the cosmetics counter. The “expert” did my eyes like a junior Cleopatra, which probably looked real glamorous with my brown, round

Ah, the Comics pages, my favorite part of the Journal; do they still have comics?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dan - a reminder of the days when people patronized high quality stores such as Jacobs. Also when newspapers had space for such things as dress patterns and bridge columns.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the trailer company Fruehauf booming with business.Because in a few short years the bottom would fall out and they would go out of business.And now the current owners of the old Fruehauf complex is Ford Motor Co with their Ohio Assembly Plant.Ford has been investing money at the plant and expanding it but since the bottom fell out of the electric vehicle market Ford is not going to do anything with the expension until at least 2028.Thousands of new assembly line jobs were going to be created for the new vehicle but none have been hired as of yet.Ford Motor Co was counting on a Democrat being in office with their crazy and outrageous emission policies but a certain Republican put a hamper to the whole project.And the old ghosts of Fruehauf still roam all over the property.
