You must remember history. In those years by far the largest part of the population lived on farms. Before WW2 most people never ventured farther than 40 miles from where they were born. Why were families so large in those years? So they all could work on the farm. Kids, parents, everyone. There was no option. If a child could work in a factory all the better but few in numbers did. You can't look at things like old pictures with todays eyes. Very few farmers had real money then. You grew things to eat or trade. Hunting and fishing weren't a sport. They helped the family survive. Don
