The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Baby Got a New Pair of Shoes in 1945


From the April 29, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1945, 75 Years Ago.

"Everyone can have a new pair of rationed shoes August 1, the Office of Price Administration (OPA) announced today.

"OPA said  a new shoe ration stamp would become valid at that time for one pair of shoes for each ration book holder."

Wondering if that one pair for each person in a household or just one pair per household.
