Why did children in World War 2 have to have a tin with cotton wool and a cork?

My understanding is that children were given these in the event of a bombing of their location. The Cotton Wool was, of course, to put in their ears for 'protection' while the cork was to be bitten on in an effort to stop children biting their tongue.

Whether either were effective would be another question, but it was certainly providing the view that something was being done for the 'protection' of the children.

What is ceramic cotton?

A ceramic is an inorganic, non-metallic solid prepared by the action of heat and subsequent cooling.[1] Ceramic materials may have acrystalline or partly crystalline structure, or may be amorphous (e.g., a glass). Because most common ceramics are crystalline, the definition of ceramic is often restricted to inorganic crystalline materials, as opposed to the non-crystalline glasses.

The earliest ceramics were pottery objects made from clay, either by itself or mixed with other materials, hardened in fire. Later ceramics were glazed and fired to create a colored, smooth surface. Ceramics now include domestic, industrial and building products and art objects. In the 20th century, new ceramic materials were developed for use in advanced ceramic engineering; for example, in semiconductors.

The word ceramic comes from the Greek word "κεραμικός" (keramikos), "of pottery" or "for pottery",[2] from "κέραμος" (keramos), "potter's clay, tile, pottery".[3] The earliest mention on the root "ceram-" is the Mycenaean Greek ke-ra-me-we, "workers of ceramics", written in Linear bsyllabic script.[4] Ceramic may be used as an adjective describing a material, product or process; or as a singular noun, or, more commonly, as a plural noun, ceramics.[5]

Why was Southern cotton not reaching the factories of Europe during the US Civil War?

The European countries, especially Great Britain, found other places to get their cotton. Britain had colonies, such as India and Egypt, that gave them cotton at a cheaper price. The European countries also depended on the Union for wheat shipments. The Union threatened to cut off wheat shipments to Britain if it bought Confederate cotton and sold it arms in return. The lack of grain would lead to food shortages and internal unrest for the governments. There was too much risk involved in continuing to buy the cotton shipments from the Confederacy because grain was more important.
