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.

Junket Rennet powder for dessert. cans of Hurff tomato juice and Libby's Fruit Cocktail.

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.
