The Peace Patrol was a U.S. Savings Stamp and Bond program
targeted at school-aged children called “Little Savers” that was
launched in the late 1950s.

The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a progressive effort
to enforce social reform via expanded federal power and popularly known as Prohibition, was ratified on this day in history, Jan. 16,
1919. 

The amendment stated, "The manufacture, sale, or transportation
of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all the territory
subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is
hereby prohibited.”  

Prohibition ended with the ratification of the Twenty-first
Amendment, which repealed the Eighteenth Amendment
on December 5, 1933.

WASHINGTON (TND) — Bitterly cold temperatures that have
swept across America this week have brought headaches for
electric vehicle owners to make their mileage range last or for
those in need of a charge with instances of drivers being
stranded or being stuck at charging stations without getting
any juice.

A Texas K9 was awarded a Purple Heart on Tuesday after he
heroically responded to an officer-involved shooting in
November.

Jack, a K9 who works with the Weatherford Police Department,
was attempting to help serve a warrant when the event turned
into a police shootout with a suspect.

Jack was shot in his paw and ear during the exchange of fire,
according to a FOX 4 report.

The department announced last week that Jack is now healed
and would be honored for his efforts.

"K9 Jack has recovered fully from his gunshot wound and is
happy to be back at work," the department wrote on Facebook.

During Tuesday’s ceremony, the K9 received a standing ovation
before he was awarded the medal.

"Jack very selflessly, with bravery and purpose, put himself
between the fugitive and officers," Weatherford Police Chief
Lance Arnold said during the ceremony.

Weatherford’s city council also presented Jack with a goody
basket filled with chew toys and his favorite snack, Cheez
Whiz (below).
