[or-roots] and then there was the Battleship Oregon

[D. J. Brotherton]

I also received a block of wood stamped Battleship Oregon.  I received this
block of wood when I had gathered together enough  war stamps for a War
Bond.  This was at Swegle School in Salem, Oregon, and I think it was when I
was in the 5th or 6th grade - 1943/44
