"How many children bought war bonds?"

Actually, quite a few. I can remember going to the post office to buy a bond with the booklet of stamps I purchased at school. (The program was still in operation after the war. This would have been in the very early Fifties...) The patriotism of the populace was very high during WW II, as you well know. It was still a very good thing to buy the stamps to purchase the bonds, even in the Fifties.
