Description

Did the Japanese really intend to provide the American government with a Declaration of War before the attack on Pearl Harbor? The answer may be found within the pages of this book.

When Marv. attended Hollywood High during the Depression, used Model "A" Fords could be had for $50 and a Model T'' for only $5. Despite the price, not many could even then afford to purchase one.

The "Damn Yankees" had won three back to back and this victory over the Cincinnati Reds in four straight games gave them the title again. Joe DiMaggio, with his $27,500 contract, had been named the best player of the year. DiMaggio''s batting average that year was .381. Each of the winning team members pocketed $5,541 for their Series win. This was the centennial game of baseball. The post office printed up three cent postage stamps celebrating one hundred years, 1839-1939, of America''s favorite past time.

All had accepted but read how they were cancelled out by a Republic
