A "different breed of cats" back then. We were used to hardships due to the 1929 Big
Depression that lasted for about 10 years. So rationing was no big deal. Cant help but
wonder if many of the newer and softer generations could exist with it. I hope we never have to find out. Can you imagine the 35 MPH speed limit to save tires and gas
for one thing . The "A" gas stamp book for non-essential workers for 3 gals. per week?
Even essential workers were closely rationed. Wont go into food ETC.
