Looking Back September 1941: Cost of Living Excessively High at Pearl Harbor

From the September14, 2016, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."

1941, 75 years ago.  "George Bjelk, who is now employed on a government project at Pearl Harbor, writes back to his father that the cost of living is exceedingly high at the well-known naval base."

This, of course, just three months before the attack and at a time when many Americans had never heard of Pearl Harbor before.
