Lot of 20 Weekly News Review newspapers1939
If I'm not mistaken, these were issued to students to help keep them abreast of the news of the day. This era is particularly interesting because it deals with world issues during the buildup to WWII. Each issue is 6 pages and covers a wide variety of topics. I've included a little about each issue as well as its release date below.
Each paper deals with national and international news, the man of the week, jobs for tomorrow, sports, cinema, social behavior, jokes, and each has a quiz that tests what the reader has learned throughout the text.
