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.

Impact of War Hits Toothpaste and Shaving Tubes
From the April 3, 2017, Roanoke (va.) Times "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"Observance of the new WPB [War Production Board] order prohibiting the sale of tubes of tooth paste or shaving cream by retailers unless the customer turns in a used, collapsible tube of some kind was still varied among the city's stores today."
