"Everything is a 'mean Jap' and he's mowing them down. I didn't think Charles (The Rev. Charles T. Ferrell) would let Hal keep the gun, but Charles has enjoyed it more than Hal. The other day I heard Carolyn (Carolyn Ferrell Tatum) tell Hal not to do whatever he was doing. She informed him that that was the way the Germans did. By the way, Margaret Shamburger (a Ferrell relative) ran away about a month ago and married an Army sergeant at Key Field in Meridian, Mississippi. Her mother was in bed for a week afterwards and nearly had a nervous breakdown over it. I think things are going to be all right. He is already calling her 'Mother' and does not think he will have to leave for six months." - Loudelle Holliman Ferrell, January 1942 
In late 1941, Life Magazine reported that the average subscriber (10 cents a copy) made $2,500 a year. Milk cost 14 cents a quart and eggs 47 cents a dozen. Lamb was 32 cents a pound, coffee 26 cents, bread 9 cents a loaf, tomatoes 10 cents a can, pink salmon 20 cents a can, bananas 7 cents a pound, bacon 37 cents and chuck roast 27 cents a pound. Toilet soap - 7 cents a bar. Gas required 20 cents for a gallon. Medical care for a family was $80 to $100 a year. A movie - 35 cents. Cigarettes were 15 cents a pack. Inflation normally becomes a factor is a major war as production is moved from civilian to military materials. Rationing of foods as well as automobiles and gasoline soon became an American reality. Robert Daly, Sr. wrote his brother-in-law, Bishop Holliman, on January 4, 1942: "It looks like we will be walking soon. Only those that absolutely have to drive a car can get tires. Mine are very thin. I may have to put the old buggy up soon. The Gov. has really put the screws on the banks (Robert was a bank manager) for loans to buy listed articles such as cars, radios, etc. Regulations are plentiful.
