Walt Disney’s Magazine (formerly as Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse
Club Magazine) was a magazine that was launched in late 1955 
and produced by Disney Studio staff members and published by
Western Printing in New York.

Originally designed to promote The Mickey Mouse Club, the focus
shifted to Disney productions in general by the middle of the
second volume, when the name was changed. The first volume
was issued quarterly, the remaining three volumes bimonthly.

In 1962, Disney bought out Western Printing’s interest in all of its
Disney related items, including this magazine, which had ceased publishing several years earlier.

The Washington Monument was built in honor of Americas
revolutionary hero and first president George Washington
and was dedicated in Washington, D.C. on February 21,
1885.

The 555-foot-high marble obelisk was first proposed in
1783, and Pierre L’Enfant left room for it in his designs
for the new U.S. capital.
 

After George Washington’s death in 1799, plans for a
memorial for the “father of the country” were discussed,
but none were adopted until 1832, the centennial
of Washington’s birth.

On February 21, 1948, the National Association for Stock Car
Racing—or NASCAR, as it came to be widely known—was
officially incorporated. NASCAR racing went on to become
one of America’s most popular spectator sports, as well as
a multi-billion-dollar industry.

The driving force behind the establishment of NASCAR was
William “Bill” France Sr. (1909-1992), a mechanic and auto-
repair shop owner from Washington, D.C., who in the mid-
1930s moved to Daytona Beach, Florida to escape the Great
Depression .

organizing races is business for him.
