Won't be Long in 1934. And Johnny Burnette.

            The Postcard

A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was printed in Great Britain. The artwork was by Bantock. The card was posted in Brighton using a 1d.stamp on Sunday the 25th. March 1934. It was sent to:

Miss L. Clayton,
'Chesham',
Little Park Gardens,
Enfield,
Middlesex.

The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:

"Sunday.
Shall hope to be back in
good time for you to go
out to Badminton.
I was pleased to get
letters from F. and you.
I'm so sorry the week
is up.
Love,
M."

The Avoidance of a Strike

So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?

Well, on the 25th. March 1934, a threatened American auto workers' strike was averted when the Roosevelt Administration created a National Automotive Labor Board to help resolve disputes.

Italian General Elections

Also on that day, Italian general elections were held in the form of a referendum on a single list of Fascist Party candidates. 

They were the last elections held in Fascist Italy, as the only real purpose of this Chamber of Deputies was to approve Mussolini's plan for a new corporative state and then to commit "suicide" by voting its own dissolution. 

The Fascists won 99.84% approval in a foregone conclusion.

Johnny Burnette

The 25th. March 1934 also marked the birth in Memphis, Tennessee of the rockabilly musician Johnny Burnette.

On the 14th. August 1964, Burnette's unlit fishing boat was struck by an unaware cabin cruiser in Clear Lake, California. The impact threw Johnny off the boat, and he drowned. Johnny was 30 years of age when he died.

Johnny was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
