How Boys and Girls Can Help Win the War #nn (1942)

This anthology contains instructional stories teaching children how to support the war effort on the home front. "Garden for Victory" shows young people starting a vegetable garden and collecting scrap metal—including old bed springs, light bulbs, tin cans, tire rubber, and lead pipe—to be recycled for military use. "Write 'em Often" follows a discouraged soldier named Johnny Doughboy who receives mail from a child correspondent; the story emphasizes the importance of writing letters to servicemen and provides instructions on how to address mail to soldiers at various military bases and branches of service.
