Hard-plastic, vintage Ginny dolls from the late 1940s through the 1950s were favorite dolls of little girls, and today, they are a hot, sought-after collectible. Although the doll lost her way in the late 1960s through the 1980s (much like Barbie!) today the dolls are again favored by little girls as well as collectors. The story of Ginny and the Vogue Doll Company has been well documented. Ginny was created by the founder of the Vogue Doll Company, Jennie H. Graves, from Sommerville, MA. The business was originally a "cottage industry" business run out of Mrs. Graves house. She sold a variety of bisque,composition and hard plastic dolls through the 1930s and 1940s, for which Ms. Graves designed most of the clothing, In 1948, she decided to create an 8" plastic play doll, and Ginny was born! One of the novel things about the new Ginny doll was that the clothing was available separately from the doll. The original Vogue dolls retailed for only $1.98, ready to dress in underwear and shoes, and outfits retailed from $1.00 to $2.98. Mrs. Graves designed most of the clothing, and the wonderful detailed outfitsincluding hats, purses, and snap-shoesadded immeasurably to the doll's popularity.

AP Photo History of the Strip From mob bosses and forced buyouts to entertainment, fine dining and megaresorts, the Strip has a history unlike any other place in the world By Kirsten Culbertson, Times Guide Writer Since the first Las Vegas gaming license was issued in 1931, this three-mile stretch has had a long and interesting history. In fact, it was renamed five times before "the Strip" finally stuck. Other names included Las Vegas Boulevard South, Arrowhead Highway, Salt Lake Highway, Route 91, Los Angeles Highway and finally, Las Vegas Boulevard South—perhaps a foreshadow that in the years ahead, change would be the only constant in this city. The success of the El Rancho Vegas, the first hotel-casino on the Strip, triggered a small building boom in the late 1940s on the two-lane highway leading into Las Vegas from Los Angeles. Early hotels included the Last Frontier, Thunderbird and Club Bingo, but by far the most celebrated of the early resorts was the Flamingo Hotel, built by mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, a member of the Meyer Lansky crime organization.

Location: Atlanta Georgia Music and Theater Fox Theatre Atlanta's Fox Theatre, originally the Yaarab Temple Shrine Mosque, was designed in the late 1920's as headquarters for the 5,000-member Shriner's organization. It was a beautifully outlandish, opulent, grandiose monument to the heady excesses of the pre-crash 1920's, a mosque-like structure complete with minarets, onion domes, and an interior decor which was even more lavish than its facade. The decades which followed brought the Fox through many ups and downs: bankruptcy in the Great Dep ression, a heyday as a premier movie theater in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, gradual decline as the film culture moved towards smaller venues than the 4,000 seat Fox during the 70s; then a period of restoration and preservation under designation as a historic landmark, that continues through today.

Baby Boomers, Antibiotics, And Slews Of Slinkies | Feb 26, 1999 18th, celebrates the 1940s with another five minute the scope of 20th century americanhistory and culture find an entire department, american Studies, devoted http://www.yaleherald.com/archive/xxvii/1999.02.26/opinion/p09stamps.html

Baby boomers, antibiotics, and slews of Slinkies By Margaux Wexberg You have two days left to put your 33 cents in. As February comes to an end, so does balloting to determine which people, events, and trends will be honored by the U.S. Postal Service's Celebrate the Century in its 1980s series of commemorative stamps. Celebrate the Century is the Postal Service's attempt to weave the fabric of our nation's history and character into very small rectangles, with sticky stuff on the back. However, the USPS should not propose that they have achieved any notable historical or cultural feat. Celebrate the Century is not the "virtual field trip through the 20th century" that Postal Service press releases claim. It is, at best, a somewhat entertaining and mildly informative exercise in self-aggrandizing publicity and political correctness. Since the so-called "stamp and education" program began last February, sets of 15 images commemorating the 1900s, '10s, '20s, and '30s have made their way to a post office near you. The latest set, released Thurs., Feb. 18th, celebrates the 1940s with another five minute stop to see the sights before we pile back on the bus and head on to the '50s. According to Einar V. Dyhrkopp, chairman of the Postal Service Board of Governors, "The '40s were a decade which began with a World War and ended in victory and the beginning of prosperity." The series of stamps attempts to capture this ridiculously broad and abstract definition with titles such as "Abstract Expressionism," "Postwar Baby Boom," "Antibiotics Save Lives," "TV Entertains America," "Women Support War Effort," and "Slinky Craze Begins." It would seem that, in the eyes of the USPS, war plus babies plus TV equals 10 years' worth of American history. Oh, and throw a Slinky in there somewhere.

88. The History Of Gospel Music The history of Gospel Music. those limits to become a profound force in Americanmusic and gospel voicesfrom the late 1920s through the 1940s, the gospel http://afgen.com/gospel1.html

Click Here for Audio Sample The History of Gospel Music Though gospel music can be an extremely broad term, CCM by Phil Petrie From the smooth sounds of Sam Cooke to the dancing, acrobatic vocals of Kirk Franklin, gospel music does more than just sound sweetit literally moves its listeners. Whether it's swaying with the choirs or tappin' along with the quartets or simply raising hands to the rhythm of soul-stirring crooners, gospel is one genre of music that needs to be both seen and heard. Once narrowly defined as religious, gospel has transcended those limits to become a profound force in American music and popular culture. Fueled by major recording companies, it has leaped over its traditional religious walls and is now more than just church music. Last year's phenomenon of Kirk Franklin's Why We Sing (it went platinum) and the current success of William Becton's Be Encouraged (a mainstay on Billboard's gospel chart for 28 weeks and counting at press time) attest to gospel's growing popularity. According to materials received from Gospel Today magazine, within the last five years, seven major recording companies have created and staffed gospel divisions; independent gospel labels increased 50 percent, and total revenues for gospel music have nearly tripled in the past decade-from $180 million in 1980 to $500 million in 1990.

89. Berkeley, A City In History Chapter 7 last major population increase in the city's history. nearly 40 percent during the1940s, from about born immigrants and Californiaborn american citizens of http://www.infopeople.org/bpl/system/Chapter7.html

Berkeley, A City in History by Charles Wollenberg Chapter 7 WORLD WAR II WATERSHED Exodus The war produced what, at least until now, was the last major population increase in the city's history. After experiencing virtually no growth in the 1930s, Berkeley's population grew by nearly 40 percent during the 1940s, from about 85,000 to 115,000. In the immediate aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor, however, thousands of people left the city, particularly young men and women departing to join the armed forces. And an additional 1400 or so people of Japanese descent, including Yoshiko Uchida and her family, left involuntarily to take up residence in government internment camps. President Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066, issued in February, 1942, authorized the military to relocate and intern all people of Japanese descent living in California, Oregon, Washington and a part of Arizona. The sole criterion for internment was ethnicity, not nationality, the relocation applying equally to Japanese-born immigrants and California-born American citizens of Japanese descent. At the end of April, 1942, the Uchidas and other Berkeley internees were relocated to Tanforan Race Track in San Mateo County where they were assigned "apartments" that formerly had been horse stalls. After about three months at Tanforan, most of the Berkeley internees were transported to a camp at Topaz, Utah, where many remained until the end of the war. Military Establishment While Japanese Americans were coping with internment, Berkeley was filling up with new residents. Some were armed forces personnel stationed at various military installations located around San Francisco Bay. In Berkeley the army established Camp Ashby, headquarters for a segregated unit of African American military policemen located near the west end of Ashby Avenue. The Navy built the Savo Island housing project for married personnel in South Berkeley. Both services established officers training programs at UC. The army took over the Bowles Hall dormitory and kept its personnel largely separate from the rest of the students. The navy, on the other hand, largely integrated its trainees into the general student body, allowing them to play on university athletic teams and even participate in student government. The navy program took over the International House and several fraternities to house its trainees. By 1944, more than 1000 navy personnel were studying at Cal.
