SCHOOL NEWS:
It’s time for “this date in history.” On May 15, 1765, the British Parliament passed the Quartering Acts requiring locations and conditions for British soldiers to be provided room and board in Colonial homes or businesses. This did not go well for the British, it would be one of the signature grievances by colonists en route to the eventual American Revolution. On this date in 1942, a bill establishing a women’s corp in the U.S. Army became a law, creating the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corp and providing women official military status. In pop culture, Mickey Mouse made his debut on this date in 1928. Also on this date, in 1940 the McDonald’s hamburger stand opened in San Bernardino, California. By 1955, there were nine locations and, in 1961, McDonald’s was trademarked. Several years later, Ronald McDonald entered as the iconic fast food representative and the term “golden arches” joined the American vocabulary in 1967. Today, there are over 40,000 McDonald’s locations in more than 100 nations. Thanks for listening to this date in history.
