POPULAR MAGAZINE FIRST PUBLISHED
On December 17, 1892, Arthur Baldwin Turnure first published
a new magazine, dedicated to “the ceremonial side of life”
and targeted at “the sage as well as the debutante, men of
affairs as well as the belle.”
As a product of the Gilded Age, Vogue has chronicled and
influenced high society, fashion and culture ever since.
Publisher Condé Nast purchased Vogue in 1905, changing it
to focus almost entirely on women and fashion and creating
the first of its international editions (there are now over 20).
The magazine has remained popular and relevant ever since,
regularly featuring the work of world-famous models, writers
and photographers.

PROCLAMATION ENDS INTERNMENT IN 1944
During World War II, U.S. Major General Henry C. Pratt issues
Public Proclamation No. 21, declaring that, effective January
2, 1945, Japanese American “evacuees” from the West Coast
could return to their homes.
At the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941,
about 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry lived on the
US mainland, mostly along the Pacific Coast.
About two thirds were full citizens, born and raised in the
United States. Following the Pearl Harbor attack, however,
a wave of anti Japanese suspicion and fear led the Roosevelt
administration to adopt a drastic policy toward these residents,
alien and citizen alike.
Virtually all Japanese Americans were forced to leave their
homes and property and live in camps for most of the war.
The government cited national security as justification for
this policy although it violated many of the most essential
constitutional rights of Japanese Americans.

EARLIEST EVIDENCE OF CHRISTIANITY
(Frankfurt Archaeological Museum)
(FOX NEWS) – The earliest known evidence of Christianity north
of Italy was recently unveiled by archaeologists, who call the
discovery one of the "most important testimonies of early
Christianity."
The artifact, publicized by the Frankfurt Archaeological Museum
last week, is called the Frankfurt silver inscription. Discovered
in 2018, the inscription has been analyzed and studied for years
before finally being released to the public this month.
The Frankfurt silver inscription is an engraving on silver foil that
consists of 18 lines written in Latin. It dates to between 230 and
260 A.D. and was discovered wrapped in a small silver amulet.
In a press release translated from German, the museum explained
that the artifact was found in a third-century grave in Hesse,
Germany, in what was once the former Roman city of Nida.
The inscription begins, "In the name of Saint Titus, Holy, holy,
holy! In the name of Jesus Christ, God’s Son!"
