My album's previous owner stuck/glued sheets of WWI Poster Stamps to the inside of the cover page. Here are two of the stamps. The designs were from a nationwide design contest for high school students.

Nice little slide show on the subject at this link:

By the way, they would be early World War II-related (not World War I).

Great info, Thanks. I always wondered who or what sponsored it. Also never noticed the fine print reading 1940 till now.
Also, never realized the four sheets I have go together to make one really big sheet.

Very nice stamps and interesting article. That was a cultural American snapshot of our determined neutrality.
