The United States Home Front During World War II supported the war effort in many ways, including a wide range of volunteer efforts and submitting to government-managed rationing and price controls. There was a general feeling of agreement that the sacrifices were for the national good during the war. The labor market changed radically. Peacetime conflicts concerning race and labor took on a special dimension because of the pressure for national unity. The Hollywood film industry was important for propaganda. Every aspect of life from politics to personal savings changed when put on a wartime footing. This was achieved by tens of millions of workers moving from low to high productivity jobs in industrial centers. Millions of students, retirees, housewives, and unemployed moved into the active labor force. The hours they had to work increased dramatically as the time for leisure activities declined sharply. Gasoline, meat, and clothing were tightly rationed. Most families were allocated 3 US gallons (11 l; 2.5 imp gal) of gasoline a week, which sharply curtailed driving for any purpose. Production of most durable goods, like new housing, vacuum cleaners, and kitchen appliances, was banned until the war ended. In industrial areas housing was in short supply as people doubled up and lived in cramped quarters. Prices and wages were controlled. Americans saved a high portion of their incomes, which led to renewed growth after the war.
Eric Sevareid, nicknamed Buddy, American journalist (November 26, 1912 - July 9, 1992) was born Arnold Eric Sevareid in Velva, North Dakota to Norwegian immigrants; he preserved a strong bond with Norway throughout his life. Adventurous from a young age, several days after he graduated from high school, he and his friend Walter Port embarked on an expedition by canoe from Minneapolis to York Factory on Hudson Bay, sponsored by the Minneapolis Star newspaper (now The Star Tribune). While attending the University of Minnesota, he was an activist against ROTC recruitment on campus. He was one of a group of elite war correspondents hired by pioneering CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow, and thus dubbed "Murrow's Boys". He was the first to report the fall of Paris when it was captured by the Germans during World War II. Traveling into Burma during World War II, his aircraft was shot down and he was rescued from behind enemy lines by a search and rescue team established for that purpose. He was the final journalist to interview Adlai Stevenson before his death. After a long and distinguished career, he followed in Murrow's footsteps as a commentator on the CBS Evening News for 12 years for which he was recognized with Emmy and Peabody Awards. Eric Sevareid died of stomach cancer at age 79 in Washington, D.C. His remains were cremated; some of his ashes scattered over Norway, and some were given to his widow Suzanne St. Pierre.
