  1. 70 Years Ago—June 23, 1943: Coal strike in Appalachia settled; President Roosevelt warns if they strike again, the miners will be drafted and forced to work. I don't recall that. But I do remember my folks working in their Victory garden and getting home befor it got dark because you didn't dare drive with your headlights on.
