Spirit Of '42 Wide World Features No Fireworks For Johnny
War restrictions limit firecrackers and Roman candles for this July fourth. Toys remain stocked with kazoos squawkers clappers pop guns drums horns and mini swing band gear while balloons and rubber balls are scarce due to earlier stoppage. Balloons replaced by kites whistles hats and other festive items plus family games remain top sellers. Johnny favors pint-size U S Army Navy and Air Force uniforms claiming generals status beats crackers as he imagines General MacArthur.
