From the January 4, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"Sheriff William Runnells of DeKalb County received a telegraphic order from Henry Pope, Jr., State Tire Rationing Superintendent, requesting the sheriff to notify all tire dealers in the county to send a complete inventory of present stocks of casings and tubes as of Jan. 3, 1942.
"The report is expected to be filed immediately."
More Rationing Already. --GreGen
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.
