Give once for all three: Community War Fund
A smiling helmeted soldier with a cup and cigarette, a boy building a model aeroplane beside a crutch, and a worn mother holding an infant before a bombed landscape fill the sheet. Three listed causes (U.S.O., United Nations war relief, community chests) are bundled into one request, 'Give once for all three'; the technique is card-stacking by selection of contrasting images.
