"Another one told us to buy WAR BONDS and I think every week I took in a dime for a stamp for a savings book."
"I had the same stamp savings book, but never did know what happened to the money as I never saw it again."
Yeah, what did happen to that money? I never saw it. If we had asked our parents about it when we were kids they would have said they used it for our food and clothes. Have to say it was a good way for kids to learn that you had to save a little something every week.
Did you get an allowance? I didn't, but then the only place I went that cost anything was the movies. We went after dinner on Sunday afternoons, my girlfriends and I and all our younger brothers and sisters.
