In 1946, Harry Truman was president, The St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series, The United Nations held its first session, and IBM debuted a calculator. Top movies were It’s a Wonderful Life and The Best Years of Our Lives. Winston Churchill coined the phrase “iron curtain” to describe Communist countries, during a speech in Fulton, Missouri. The first helicopter was licensed for commercial use in New York City. The first hour long Entertainment TV show was NBC’s Hour Glass. The Atomic Energy Commission was established. The Nuremberg war crimes trials were underway in Nuremberg. The first electric blanket ever manufactured sold for $39.50. The first “auto-bank” was unveiled in Chicago (drive-through banking). Tide laundry detergent was first introduced. On December 31 of 1946, President Truman officially proclaimed the end of World War II. 1946 was a pretty eventful year. No wonder Mutt was trying to leave his mark on a building’s cornerstone!
