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.

It's Threshing Time in DeKalb County in 1943
From the August 8, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Threshing crews are in vogue this week, and many 'rigs" as the farmers designate them, are in operation in all parts of the county.
"The oats were cut and shocked through the cooperative aid of the United States Employment Agency in conjunction with the California Packing corporation and much of the work was completed in time."
This U.S. Employment Agency may have been referring to the War Manpower Commission.
