America keeps secrets from Britain
Monday, December 28, 1942 www.onwar.com

In Washington... US President Roosevelt confirms the policy of non cooperation with the British that his advisors have been recommending. He orders than no information be given to British scientists unless it is in a area in which they are directly working. The British are upset at the decision.

In Vichy France... Marshal Petain announces that the Free French have betrayed French North Africa to the British and the Americans.

Re: rationing of fruit, vegetables, and soups. I would definitely be making plans for my garden planting for the spring.

The article about the M-7 tank fighting Rommel is comical. Like all of the early US tanks, it had such light armor that it could never survive long in real combat.

Note headline at top-middle of page one:

"Curbs on Rowdyism Adopted by Schools as Problem Grows"

The problems described are not trivial, even by today's low standards, but the solutions seems, well, familiar.

I wonder how well they worked?
