Today I visited the Central Library's Local History section in order to research my topic on the Corpus Christi home-front during WWII. What I found was that there were many various committees and organizations during this time that devoted themselves to gathering materials and selling bonds in order to help the United States' war effort. Among them were the tire rationing board, the scrap metal committee, bond committee and etc.. I found information about all these committees through  different articles in the Caller Times located in the library's vertical files. The conclusion I drew from just these articles that was for the most part the people of Corpus Christi were very supportive of the war effort, and they did anything they could to provide the materials necessary for the U.S.'s army. I think the greatest takeaway from this research I did today was that the people of Corpus Christi, much like the rest of the people in the U.S., were very patriotic during WWII , and were willing to make sacrifices for what they thought would benefit their country in a time of great despair.
