I certainly remember collecting tin foil for the War Effort. We also collected the fur from the Milk Weed plants but I do not remember where we took it or what it was really used for. Some said for parachutes. We also saved our pennies and bought savings stamps to be licked and put in booklets for war bonds. I came from a family of 9 children and there were never enough rations coupons to go around for all we needed especially shoes. My Aunt used to take us girls over to Canada where there was no rationing and buy us shoes. Louise
