November 1942
So back from furlough on the 12th which happens to be Dad’s birthday. You wouldn’t know it from the letter. From all accounts, sounds like the time off was swell and the idea of a new addition to the family is sinking in. Thanks to a proclamation by President Roosevelt in 1941, Thanksgiving will return to the last Thursday in November in an effort to bring the country together. Mom’s birthday is on the 30th of this month but they won’t make a big deal out of that either. And what about that trailer?
Election Update
It's mid terms so the opposing party is doing very well. And yes, short-sighted on the birth control decision.
The Lynn Daily Evening Item
Note that the religious community is trying to ban Sunday High School football and behind the curfew on alcohol so of course they were the major force defeating birth control. Weird knowing how liberal Massachusetts will become in the future.
Meanwhile in Hartford...
Considering most of the men have been drafted and they haven't perfected vote-by-mail yet, turnout is light but results pretty much as expected.
3-DAY PASS STARTS OCTOBER 26, 1942!
