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.

Pre-School Nursery at NISTC Closing in DeKalb in 1945
From the May 13, 2020, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"E.A. Anderson, business manager at Northern Illinois State Teachers College, announced this morning that the pre-school nursery operated by the Federal Works Agency, under the sponsorship of the college, will close on June 30, 1945.
"The nursery is located at the new science building at the college. The nursery was started to accommodate pre-school children of mothers who are working, especially those engaged in occupations in war plants."

Shorpy Photos of the Home Front: Child Care Center
From the Shorpy Photo website.
MARCH 3, 2016-- PANTRY PATROL: 1943. June 1943. New Britain, Connecticut: "A child care center opened September 15, 1942, for 30 children, ages 2 through 5, of mothers engaged in war industry. The hours are 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., six days per week.
"Miss Machmer and the dietician checking the amount of food used during the month and making a general inventory of all supplies on hand." Gordon Parks, OWI
With the moms away working in vital war industries, it was necessary to have a place to care for their children. The war brought on a lot of child care centers.
Comments:
Junket Rennet powder for dessert. cans of Hurff tomato juice and Libby's Fruit Cocktail.
Junket was like the Brand-X dessert in place of Jell-O.
