From the January 25, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"Several weeks ago an appeal was made to the residents of this city to keep their sidewalks clear of snow. The answer to that appeal has been most gratifying but there are still a dew who have failed to cooperate.
"Since the advent of gas rationing, many more are forced to walk and it will be a great help to these pedestrians if the residents keep their walks shoveled. Many are forced to walk to their work and most of them leave for work while it is still dark.'

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.
