Short story:
Strawberry Field Salvation Army children's home opens in Woolton, a suburb of Liverpool, UK. The place will inspire the 1967 song Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles, because John Lennon grew up near the home and one of his childhood treats was the annual summer garden party in the grounds of Strawberry Field. Strawberry Fields, in the plural, was Lennon's nickname for the wooded area behind the building.
