From the May 17, 2017, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"The ration periods for the first four sugar rationing stamps were announced this morning by the DeKalb Rationing Board.
"The stamps will be honored by any dealer throughout the country but each stamp must be used during the designated period or it will be worthless."
In Other Words, Use 'Em Or Lose 'Em. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
