PINNED IN THEIR RAMSHACKLE VEHICLE, THE BOYS GROANED AND GIGGLED AS MOTORISTS CAME WALKING UP TO INVESTIGATE SAID DELAY. "All we want is out of here and the sooner the better," one man stated to the local&nbsp;driver of a milk truck who had stopped to assist if needed. The matter was resolved in short order and upon arrival of a Sheriff's deputy, the matter of&nbsp;farmer Svenson's missing roll of chicken wire was solved. Those inconvenienced by the incident were relieved and ignored the friendly&nbsp;hand waving of several bystanders as they made haste to get to the main highway.<BR/>&nbsp;</P> http://journals.aol.com/huffstutterr/blogaboutoldfotosusa/entries/2007/10/05/two-boys-cause-traffic-jam-and-outrage-motorists...huffstutterrs-aol-pictures-public-gallery/1673 http://journals.aol.com/huffstutterr/blogaboutoldfotosusa/entries/2007/10/05/two-boys-cause-traffic-jam-and-outrage-motorists...huffstutterrs-aol-pictures-public-gallery/1673 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 15:12:27 GMT <P>ONE OF AMERICA'S MANY MAIN STREETS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1941 THROUGH 1945.</P> <P><IMG src="http://aolsearch.aol.com/aol/redir?src=image&amp;clickedItemURN=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.cdlib.org%2Fark%3A%2F13030%2Fft2c60047n%2Fhi-res&amp;moduleId=image_details.jsp.M&amp;clickedItemDescription=Image Details"/></P> <DIV class=publisher xmlns="">Courtesy of The Bancroft Library.
