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.

Girdles and Model Planes for the War Effort
From the Dec. 4, 2019, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"In giving her girdle to a rubber drive, a DeKalb woman said that it was more important to have her government in good shape."
**************************************
"Don and Ronald Lothson whose hobby is airplanes, have loaned several of their best model planes, sticks and solids for display purposes in the belief it will aid the sixth war loan drive.
"At the present time the models were on display at the Cilco office on South Third Street where the north window has been given over to exhibit."
