Why do I see the designation of "d" everywhere?

•  "D" stands for danbury, the closest small city to new milford where there were more stores and resources and presumably where the regional rationing (sugar, gas, etc) office was located.

​

topics to explore:

• rationing

• the draft

• communications with soldiers

• 1940's news sources and dissemination

• war bonds

• propaganda

• notable events during the war that ma may have mentioned (if the number of chicken eggs collected did not take priority)
