Boys Make Tables for Soldiers and a Young Patriot
East Central Normal School faculty and Prof. Ericson’s students built four checker tables for soldiers, with two boards per table for two games.

Dorothy Turner, eleven, raised a war garden, sold Thrift Stamps, owns a $50 Liberty Bond, and plans to invest more in War Stamps, with savings totaling $26 in the bank.
