Japanese Navy sunken ships in WWII ~~~~ Submitted by Larry Staker

 Subject:  Japanese Navy sunken ships in WWII

In a word - INCREDIBLE!!!  Japanese Navy sunken ships in WWII - Incredible This map of all sunken Japanese ships during WWII is absolutely mind boggling. While researching World War II naval strategies we stumbled upon one of the most interesting maps. Someone took the time to put together a collection of all of Japan's ships that were sunk in the Pacific during World War II. As the Japanese kept impeccable records when it came to their wartime production as well as their losses, this information was readily available After that, it was just about taking the time to put the map together. You can see it below. To put things into further perspective Japan lost over half of their ships during World War 2. They built a total of 645 vessels which were split as follows: 12 battleships 15 fleet carriers   5 light carriers   5 escort carriers 18 heavy cruisers 25 light cruisers 169 destroyers 180 destroyer escorts 12 sea-going torpedo boats 9 sea-going gunboats          195 submarines By the end of the war, however, the Imperial Japanese Navy lost 334 warships.  This came at a cost of 300,386 sailors. That's almost as many soldiers as the total fatalities the United States suffered during the entire war and here we're just talking about the Japanese Navy.

Sheepherders are needed with every herd of sheep, most of the time they
are easy to find, One I know is you have to keep looking because you can't
always tell when you need to change. I made arrangements with Allen to herd
~ sheep in 1990. He was ready to start and show up a few days before it was
time to go on the mountain. I had the camp ready, when the first of July came
Ie took the sheep and started up the sheep trail and to the allotment.
Allen always complained that we didn't go the same way every year. One
ear down Rolson, one year down Jordon, one year down the highway, I guess he
had good reason because we did change several times before they made us truck
them across the mountain. Allen herded for six years. He had many tales to
'ell about his experiences on the mountain, border disputes or just bad times.
The last year he herded we were having a dispute over where the line
was, and he confronted the neighbor about it one morning. In the heat of the
dispute, the neighbor and his son took Allens rifle away from hin ~y force.
r had just arrived at AlIens camp when he returned, so I saw first hand the
scratches on his hand from having the gun pulled away. After making sure that
Allen was all right. 1m drove around to the neighbors camp. The son was gone
but the herder was theirs. I sat on the wagon tongue and talked to him for
about an hour, explaining how they were crowding us, and that Allen was right.
And that they should back off, and respect the line between us. so that we could
both get along. the rest of the summer seemed to go well.
When we gathered the sheep to go home that fall I remember Wayne Poulsen
asking me if I had them all. I said I think so, Allen had road the Allotment
pretty good, at least he said he had. When we got home and coraled the sheep
to load lambs. I discovered that I was out over a hundred lambs. I was out
a lot of sheep, and not a clue as to where they were.
I talked to the Mexican herders to see if they could help me, and young
Leopold said he would ride for me in a few days. He knew the country and
could make the time count. He rode Seely Canyon, Jordon~ Staker and Rolfson,
but didn't find anything. I asked him to go again and ride my allotment,
which he did in a few days. He found a big bunch right in the middle of my
allotment. There was 240 head he gathered them up and brought them down,
I picked them up the next morning right where he left them. He was way after
dark getting back to his camp. I paid him $200.00 he was sure pappy and
so was I.

The story goes if I can learn all the pieces, that the neighbor that
we had the trouble with, picked up this bunch of sheep when Allen 
wasn't watching and   started them up Seely Canyon, Hopin~ that Allen wouldn't
find them. Which is just what happened, there was good feed and they stayed
in Seely Canyon for a while, it's possible that some elk hunters started them
down and they came back home right where they belonged, but we were gone by
then so the~just waited in the middle of the allotment until we went back to
look. After I add this number to what I had my count was alright, and every
thing turned out alright.
In order to avoid any more problems, I arranged with a Mexican to herd
the nest year. Allen was always asking me why he got fired.
It took me all summer and late into October to get my fifle back, but
I finally got it.
Allen didn't find another job herding sheep, and he moved out of the
trailer court where he was living .. So for want of a better place he moved
his trailer on to my ground just east of the irrigation pond. He had been
there two months when I learned he was there. I told him that he would have to
work for me to pay the rent. He said he would and as long as I had the sheep
I would get him to help now and then.

History of Eastman Kodak Company (information taken from Wikipedia)

This is a picture of the first Kodak Camera 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the camera my father used .

The Eastman Kodak Company (referred to simply as Kodak /ˈkoʊdæk/) is an American public company that produces various products related to its historic basis in analog photography. The company is headquartered in Rochester, New York, and is incorporated in New Jersey.[3] Kodak provides packaging, functional printing, graphic communications, and professional services for businesses around the world. Its main business segments are Print Systems, Enterprise Inkjet Systems, Micro 3D Printing and Packaging, Software and Solutions, and Consumer and Film.[4][5][6] It is best known for photographic film products.

Kodak was founded by George Eastman and Henry A. Strong on September 4, 1888. During most of the 20th century, Kodak held a dominant position in photographic film. The company's ubiquity was such that its "Kodak moment" tagline entered the common lexicon to describe a personal event that deserved to be recorded for posterity.[7] Kodak began to struggle financially in the late 1990s, as a result of the decline in sales of photographic film and its slowness in moving to digital photography, despite developing the first self-contained digital camera.[8] As a part of a turnaround strategy, Kodak began to focus on digital photography and digital printing and attempted to generate revenues through aggressive patent litigation.[9][10]

In January 2012, Kodak filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.[11][12][13] Shortly thereafter Kodak announced that it would stop making digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and digital picture frames and focus on the corporate digital imaging market.[14] Digital cameras are still sold under the Kodak brand by JK Imaging Ltd under an agreement with Kodak. In August 2012, Kodak announced its intention to sell its photographic film, commercial scanners, and kiosk operations, as a measure to emerge from bankruptcy, but not its motion picture film operations.[15] In January 2013, the Court approved financing for Kodak to emerge from bankruptcy by mid-2013.[16][17] Kodak sold many of its patents for approximately $525,000,000 to a group of companies (including Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung, Adobe Systems, and HTC) under the names Intellectual Ventures and RPX Corporation.[18][19] On September 3, 2013, the company emerged from bankruptcy having shed its large legacy liabilities and exited several businesses.[20] Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging are now part of Kodak Alaris, a separate company owned by the UK-based Kodak Pension Plan.[21][22]

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 Kodak announced it would begin production of pharmaceutical materials.[23]

Union Store

The following is a History of the Union Store written by Louise Johansen: 

Some people in Mt. Pleasant or in Sanpete County, Utah, may be unaware of the fact that for a period of

over twenty years there was a Z.C.M.I. branch store in Mt. Pleasant, and that it occupied three different
locations during those years.

I sometimes heard my father speak of the old store known by that name, and I became interested in its
history as I learned that the large red brick building I knew to be the Union Store had once housed the early
Z.C.M.I. in the years of my father‘s youth.18

The Union Store in Mt. Pleasant stood on the present site of the Doughboy monument and the Armory
Hall on Main and State streets. It faced south, and I found out that it was the first building erected in town that required a break in the old pioneer fort wall. Some rocks had to be removed from the southwest corner of the big wall in preparation for it.


I had also heard reference to a small store in early days that was called Z.C.M.I. and was on south State

street. Still I heard of another location where a store was known by the same name. That building I

remembered, but I knew it as a blacksmith shop on the corner of Main and state streets (southwest corner).

My interest was challenged by the various locations known as the early day sites of the store, and

research led me to several references recorded by Andrew Madsen, a grand uncle of mine. His daughter

compiled his information on early day Mt. Pleasant, and a book was sponsored by the Pioneer Historical

Association of that town.


The book was sold for many years by the Association, but has been out of print for years as it was a

limited edition. With this in mind I pass information along to share with many who have not had the privilege

of reading and knowing about that old branch Z.C.M.I.


The Mt. Pleasant store was organized in 1870 after the pattern of the store that had been established the

previous year in Salt Lake City, and named the Zion‘s Co-operative Mercantile Institution. The local company was begun with seven hundred dollars worth of stock subscribed by various individuals, among who were: W.S. Seely, P.M. Peel, Andrew Madsen, N.P. Madsen, Jacob Christensen, Niels Widergren Anderson, Peter Monsen, Hans Poulsen, J.W. Seely, Hans Y. Simpson, Mortin Rasmussen, and W.S. Seely was chosen as the first manager and superintendent. Andrew Madsen and C.N. Lund served later as superintendents. I was intrigued by the fact that my grandfather, Niels Peter Madsen, had been one of the first and principal investors.


Business began in one small room of a log building on the east side of State Street at Third South.

Anthon H. Lund was a clerk there for a short time. Then the company built a larger, new log building on the

southwest corner of the Main and State Street intersection where the drug store now stands. The logs of that

new store were chinked with mud and the room was plastered with mud. Outside, above the door a large sign read: ―Z.C.M.I.


Charles Hampshire and Olaf Sorensen were the clerks. One spoke English and the other Danish, so

customers were understood and helped no matter which language they spoke. The store carried a variety of

merchandise and developed a fine trade.


All trading was done at that time by written order or printed due bills for which people traded their

produce. The produce was then freighted to Pioche, Nevada, and other mining towns where cash was received for it. Long trips were made with mule or horse teams, and the shorter trips with ox teams. It was seldom that a silver dollar was seen in Mt. Pleasant in those days, and the produce was as valuable as money would have been.


By 1878, it was found that even the mud-plastered building was very inadequate for the volume of

business being done. So a two-story red brick building was planned and built on the corner opposite from the one chinked with mud. It later became the Wilson blacksmith ship that I recall.

The brick used in the new store was made at a brick yard west of town, and was mixed with horse

power. After the adobes were formed they were covered with burlap and sand until thoroughly dry, then packed and burned for a week or two. Cedar wood from the Cedar Hills was used for burning.

A ladder was placed and men formed a bucket brigade that carried water up the ladder where it was

poured over the kiln until the bricks were saturated. Any brick with lime in it would burst and be discarded.

The good bricks were tested again by laying them in running water for several days.


Nothing but the first class bricks and other materials were used in building the new store. The huge

timbers were hewn with a broad axe, and smoothed with drawing knives. A large basement furnished ample

room for the storing of commodities on hand, and at its peak the store carried a twelve thousand dollar stock.19


An outside stairway along the east side of the store led to a theatre and dance hall in the second story

that served as an up-to-date amusement center accommodating larger crowds than the previously used Social Hall on the church square.


When the term of incorporation of Mt. Pleasant Z.C.M.I. expired, the stockholders decided to

incorporate under the name of Equitable Co-op, and sometimes it was referred to as the Co-op Store. Later the name was changed to Union Store and was managed by Andrew Madsen for many years. The building was finally razed to provide a site for the Armory Hall and Doughboy monument.
