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.

Shorpy Home Front Photos: Keeping the Buses Running and "Arming" the Kids
From the Shorpy Old Photo Site.
MAY 22, 2017-- HOUND DOC: 1943. September 1943. Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania. "A mechanic at the Greyhound Garage." Esther Bubley, OWI. With tire, gasoline rationing, bus riding became much more popular.
MAY 26, 2017-- THE CHILDREN'S ARMY: 1942-- Washington, D.C., 1942. "Children playing, using sticks as guns." Color. Louise Rosskam, OWI. The boys are "armed" and girls aren't. The girls are also wearing dresses."
One of the comments was, "They don't need no stinkin' Nintendo." Or "Idge Phones."
