Oct. 22, 2014: PARKED FOR THE DURATION: 1942-- 1942 "Effect of gasoline shortage in Washington, D.C.. Albert Freeman, OWI. The photo and caption makes you think these cars will not be driven as long as the war and gas rationing remains.

Oct. 17, 2014: GINGHAM STYLE: 1942-- June 1943. "Arlington, Virginia. Girl getting food at the service shop at Idaho Hall, Arlington Farms, a residence for women who work for the U.S. government for the duration of the war." Esther Bubley, OWI
I have written about the Arlington Farms often. The war effort required a large amount of written work in these days before computers.

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.
