See More And Better Records See More And Better Records
Hagerstown record collectors will be relieved to know that both the quality and quantity of records will be improved before the fest of the year. A local dealer credits government shellac releases and a new substitute for the material, allowing longer play on juke boxes. Shellac shortages used for sealing shells limited supply, but a laminated record with cardboard center and shellac layers promises less surface noise and partial side cracking without harming the other side.

Navy Celebrates 169th Birthday and Naval Victory
The U S Navy marks its 169th anniversary amid joy over the Pacific fleet’s crushing defeat of the Japanese navy. Officials urge caution noting Japan may still field up to 175 ships, with many crippled vessels able to limp to port for repairs. Despite heavy damage, a final assessment will take days, but naval leaders agree the Japanese fleet is crippled and limited to harassment roles. A senior officer highlights the alliance with Japan’s “cooperation” in the Philippines battle as cause for celebration.
