Those Wild and Crazy Kids in Their Automobiles in Malta, Illinois in 1945
From the May 13, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1945. 75 Years Ago.
"Although every effort is being made to protect the youngsters of Malta there seems to be considerable comment about the reckless driving of youths in automobiles.
"The wild driving is not confined alone to crossing the railroad track but is also noted as the drivers cut through yards and alleys, as well as on the main streets."
Those wild and crazy kids. I thought there was gasoline rationing on at the time. Malta is a small town just west of DeKalb on the Lincoln Highway.
