The Poppy Legacy of the American Legion Auxiliary
The poppy became the symbol of remembrance for World War I dead and aid for living veterans. Started after the war, the program expanded through American Legion and Auxiliary efforts, with women directing the national drive since 1924. By 1926 around 13 million Americans wore the poppy yearly, raising over a million dollars for veteran welfare.

Will Americans Be More Tender With Money Than Lives
Washington faces a blunt choice as the government seeks an extra 13 billion dollars in the next three weeks for the war effort. The Second War Loan campaign urges citizens to sacrifice spending and buy bonds, with Series E and other offerings accessible to fit different budgets. Civilian spending in 1942 was high, but as prices rise, income must fund bonds to support troops.
