Schools Foster War Bond Savings Across 1945
A long-running school savings program powers war bond and stamp purchases by more than 25 million students in over 200,000 schools, raising two billion dollars for the war. Stamp Day reinforced weekly saving, with bonds sold at post offices, banks, stores, and via mail carriers. The Treasury urges continued savings toward vacations, education, year-end expenses, and emergencies as children transition from wartime saving to securing peace. In Clermont sectional tourney, Clermont girls beat Calmar 39 to 14, with Schupanitz scoring 25. Primary notes Rebecca Larson’s move to Manchester, a new workbook, and Barbara Jean Kelly arriving from Minneapolis. Grade updates cover birthdays, hospital visits, and studies in English, geography, bees, and health topics across grades. Continuous absences due to colds affect both 7th and 8th grades as students recite patriotic poetry and Gettysburg Address.
