From the February15, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"County Clerk Earle W. Joiner today received 41,000 applications for sugar war ration books.
"Although exact instructions have not been received, it is the understanding of the county clerk that the applications received today will be placed in the hands of a school teacher, who will have charge of compiling the information which will be secured through the blanks. The blank is an application for a sugar rationing book it is understood."
This information is compiled at the Joiner Library in Sycamore. Was this named after Earle W. Joiner?

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.
