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.

Drive Over 35 MPH and Lose Your Gas Ration Book
From the December 27, 2017, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"The new mileage rationing regulations give the War Price and Rationing Boards the power to revoke a consumer's gasoline ration and to declare a consumer ineligible to receive tire certificates, if the consumer violates certain provisions of the regulations.
"Motorists convicted of driving their cars at a speed in excess of 35 miles per hour will be subject to automatic revocation of their gasoline ration book."
Obey the Speed Limit Or Else. --GreGen
