Thanksgiving 1943: Blood drives and extra pies in Oak Park

War era village notes show food drives and blood donations aiding the war. Residents baked extra pies and delivered them to USO canteens while 1013 pints of blood were collected at a Red Cross drive. Local children raised funds, bought war bonds, and crews from Western Electric, Douglas Aircraft, and Bell and Gossett supported defense work.
