We were short of everything then. The young men had all gone away. Young boys and women were pressed into service. I learned to drive a WC Allis at an unbelievably young age. First with my grandfather riding along and soon after by myself. Our neighbors had John Deere tractors and had a hard time convincing the rationing board that they needed gasoline to get them started. They would start on as little gas as possible by switching over to fuel oil almost immediately after starting. You could see the smoke from those JDs for miles. We never took any trips with the car due to tire and gas rationing and new cars were next to impossible to buy. After the war rationing ended, but along came the polio epedemic so we still didn't go anywhere. Some people call those "the good old days".
