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.

Housewives "Stop Wasting That Food"
From the December 26, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"DeKalb County's 9,552 housewives could feed 2,368 soldiers for a year with the food wasted annually in homes of the county, an official of the country's leading food distributor estimated.
"This amazing figure is based on accurate government statistics which indicate that at least 4,537,200 pounds of food are wasted annually in DeKalb County."
