What A Veteran Wants w * Ml SjaJiuu.?TNU fwu W **When she met hi i began to toy awhat Fd planned, *Fm sorry. Fve always been sorryF Then we were crying on each other9? shoulder By KATHLEEN NORRIS HERE is a letter from a G. I. Joe who finds himself sta tioned in nothem Ger many. He comes from a small American town, and he wants to get back to it. German frauleins don't interest him, nor Germany's devastated cities; he doesn't like the language and he is tired, af ter thfee years, of army food. ? ? ? "I'm 22, and I'm going to take an engineering course after the war," he writes. "Boy, I can't wait to get going. All that has kept me sane through these years is the thought of home and the fam ily. I have some family. I have three sisters, one married with three kids, and one brother, who has two little boys. My grandma is living, and she and one of my aunts live with us and help Mom with the housekeeping. My youngest sister is going to marry her captain at Christmas; the middle one was married last July. "You'd never look twice at our house, though It stands back under big trees and has a lot of space around It for bams and fences and Pop's chickens and the windmill. But the Tulllerles don't look any better to me. What Food. What Flint "Saturdays?yum, yum, yum?does cooking go on tn that house! Pried chicken and strawberry shortcake?and Mom with a big apron on, and the grandchildren falling around under ev eryone's feet, and maybe Pete?that's my older brother-in-law, bringing In a sugar-cured ham?he raises hogs out in the country. Hie kids put on a play, or we have games at the table?my girl comes over with her brother and we play tennis on the municipal courts? we all go swimming after dinner and when we come home something good to eat Is on the table with a message from Mom: 'don't make any noise and wake Dad.' "The fellows out here," the letter goes on. "who come from homes like that, homes with lots of laughing and cook ing and good times In them, cousins coming and going, sisters trying to get Mom's attention?they're the ones that are coming back sane. Every little cus tom?every association with home is dear to us now; we compare snapshots, we read sections of letters to each other. Same nights three fellows and I get pencils and tablets and draw diagrams of Main Street, or the farm?the way the trees and the houses stand. Nothing else counts?these girls over here dent mean anything to us?nothing means anything, except that If we stick this out and tee It through, wait get back, and the folks wool-be ashamed of us." ? ? ? ' There Is a letter to put heart Into any woman whose Job of running the house and somehow providing the meals for the family sometimes seems routine and dull to her. "The fellows who come from real homes are coming back sane," says Joe. lots of others aren't, lots of others are never going to And that cure of love and home life. Just to find Mom cook ing the remembered doughnuts, to hear Dad mildly cussing as he washes the ear. to have a pretty cousin turn up with tennis rackets or to sit with a small appreciative nephew In his lap, listening wide-eyed to war stories?in these things there Is healing. Healing for your boy, and healing for the world. Home Is the unit of which the whole world's safety rests. In Just so much as you can make It normal, happy, affectionate, free from quarrel ing, debt, worry, you help to cure your sen of the effects of these years of In sanity A Splendid Gift. "Thinking of what to send Teats for his birthday," writes a young wlfs from fried chicken end Urmten; iWf M00* BACK TO DEAR OLD WAYS Most soldiers don't go craty, or develop strange desires while they are abroad. They just want to gat back to the life they sued to know. It wasn't perfect, but it satisfied them pretty well. Noth ing they hare seen in Europe or the Orient has really changed their tastes or longings. The soldier whose letter ap pears in this issue just wants to get back to his farm home, to his family and friends and sweet heart. The memory of the simple pleasures, the hearty and delecta ble food, the many joyous asso ciations were all that kept him sane in faraway Germany, he writes. The German girts don't ap peal to him, nor do the foreign language and customs. In short, he just wants to get back home, and pick up where he left off. He is 22, which is still young enough to start afresh, so he intends to study engineering. This young man Is no doubt a typical serviceman. Although sad dened and weary after his harsh experiences, he is not bitter or dis gruntled. He is ready to slip back into the old grooves as soon as he is discharged. Most wives, sweet hearts and mothers who have been worrying about the impact of war on the men they love will be pleasantly surprised to find them little changed, after all. Memphis, T made up my mind that better than any tangible thing would be the news that his mother and I were y friendly. With his father I've alsags been on good terms.-but In all the Ave years of our marriage I'd never spoken to his mother because of a message she sent me by Yeats when we were en gaged. "I took our three small boys, all.flean and fresh, and went boldly to my falh er-in-law's bouse. When she metnjs I began to say what I'd planned, Tm sorry. I've always been sorry.' Then we were crying on each other's shoul ders, and after that we sent Yeats what he called the finest present anyone ever received?Just the news that we were friends. br Tm happier than I've .ever been In my life, and so is she. And when Yeats comes home Til feel ashamed at his happiness. So It's a gain all "round " Some other woman, reading this, might think up a similar gift for hus band Or son.
