In 1942 during the early stages of World War II, Walter S. Brown, Director of the Georgia Cooperative Extension at the University
of Georgia, sent out a letter stating "we are anxious to keep in close touch with all Extension Workers in the armed forces...
I am asking you to send me your present address... [and] I would apprreciate your writing us a few paragraphs telling us of
your particular duties and anything you think the other Extension men in the service and at home would like to hear about
you.. We plan to send a letter regularly to every man in the service telling him something of what we are trying to do back
home and of what all of your are doing for Victory in the armed forces."
The Walter S. Brown Scrapbook of World War II containes a compilation of the newsletters sent out by Brown and the responses
he received from the servicemen and women during the course of the war. Brown's newsletters are dated October 6, 1942 to
November 29, 1944 and the letters sent to Mr. Brown date from 1942 to 1945. The newsletters detail activities taking place
here at UGA while the letters make reference to the various countries where the servicemen were stationed as well as observations
of personal activites and,in some instances, the countries' agricultural land, products and methods.

Much of the materials pertain to Sallie's work with farmer's wives as part of the University of Georgia's extension service,
Parna's activities with canning and poultry clubs through the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, and both women's service with the
League of Women Voters of Georgia.
