1917 · The U.S. Army Spruce Production Division
Thousands of soldiers were assigned to the U.S. Army Spruce Production Division to provide wood for airplanes and ships during World War I. Poor working conditions in 1917 caused the men to strike which slowed the logging production in the area. The demands of the strikers were rejected by the lumber companies. As the need was ever-present for lumber during the war, the government stationed soldiers to do the work. Over 230 spruce soldier camps were built and occupied throughout the Pacific Northwest at this time.
1935 · The FBI is Established
The Bureau of Investigation's name was changed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to help citizens know that the Government is helping protect from threats both domestically and abroad.
Name Meaning
German, Jewish (Ashkenazic), Danish, and English: nickname for a lively and cheerful person, or, in the case of the Jewish name, an artificial name, from Middle High German vinke, Middle English and Yiddish fink ‘finch’ (see Finch and Vink ). The surname of German origin is also found in some central European countries, for example in Czechia, Slovenia, and Croatia, often as a translation into German of corresponding Slavic nicknames or surnames. In part, this is a Gottscheerish (i.e. Gottschee German) surname, originating from the Kočevsko region in Lower Carniola, Slovenia (see Kocevar ).
