Ration Stamps
#6

My Father told me about getting the allotment of .22 shells, and using them to put rabbits in the stew pot for dinner. Also told me about carrying a lunch to school in old lard buckets that usually amounted to a couple of bisquits. My Mother told me about the ration stamps, and also about how in highschool (during WWII) the kids rolled bandages for The Red Cross rather than having P.E. time.

I would love to have lived during a time when the people in this country were all marching to the same drummer, at least during the war effort, and all doing their part with rationing at home. :drinkin:
