RUNNING ON EMPTY: picture of a couple making out in a car during gas rationing with a sign in the window saying "I'm really out of gas!" Should have read "Out of gas, and out of breath, too."
CIGARETTES: a well-dressed woman smoking a pipe. Cigarettes on the home front hard to come by as Congress had mandated that every soldier, sailor and Marine receive them as part of their rations.
Well, I never! --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
