This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

It Is OK To Drive to Church in 1918
From the October 3, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1918, 100 Years Ago.
"Advices from the State Fuel Administration to the local officials received today say: "As to church, if they just intend to go to church and have no other means of getting there, that is all right, but it is not all right to go to go riding.
"Fuel Administrator Walter Proust received the above message this afternoon from the state fuel administrator which will probably furnish the excuse for a good many people to use their rigs in going to church."
So, they even had a sort of fuel rationing back in World War I.
