Putting Our Home On A War Basis
By Mrs. Estelle T. Smith, Assistant to State Home Demonstration
Agent, and Chairman, Women's Division of the
State Salvage Committee
(Mrs. Smith made this address
recently to the Home Demonstra
tion Club it Macon County. We
are printing it in part. Editor.)
Putting our home on a war basis
means first that it is a V-Home-an
insignia that denotes we in this
home are fighting; we know this
war will he easy to lose and hard
to win; we mean to win it; there
fore, we solemnly pledge all our
energies and all our resources to
fight for freedom.
We are personally carrying the
fight on the home front in these
ways: (1) By following the in
structions of the air raid warden
in order to protect our home
against attack by air; (2) by con
serving food, clothing, transporta
tion and health, in order to hasten
an unceasing flow of war mater
ials to our men at the front; (3)
by salvaging essential materials in
order that they may be converted
to immediate war use; (4) by re
fusing to spread rumors designed
to divide our nation ; (S) by buy
ing War Savings Stamps and
Bonds regularly.
We are doing these things be
cause we know we must win this
We want to do these things be
cause we want to do our job on
the home front with the same un
selfish spirit that our boys are
displaying every day in the air, oil
the land, on the sea.
We have made up our minds to
accept in good faith and cheer-,
fully whatever our government
feels we should do or do without.
Ire this war a home, like bat
tleship, must ready itself fir ac
tion and every member il . the
". family in the home must take his
battle station. This not only is im
portant, it is necessary, if we ore
to win.
Do You Know The Enemy?
By our insignia, V-Home, we
serve notice that we are person
ally carrying the fight to the
enemy ; but do you know the
enemy ? Are you able to "recognize
him, regardless of what his dis
guise may be a .
You are thinking of the enemy
as being off our coast in a sub
marine ; or, im a long-distance
bomber with charts or our target
areas; or, ainong us as a saboteur
and a rumor-monger. And yet, he
is nearer va,n that. He is in every
home iiv America, disguised as
waste, inefficiency, disunity, in
security, ill-health, plotting to
weaken the home front and there
by we;.'en the production front
and; the fighting front to decrease
the total striking power of this
nation. ...
What she does is important
her help is indispensable. The fu
ture holds for us the opportunity
to make, this work of ours civiliz
ed once more. The future of civil
ization, of Christianity, freedom
itself cannot be saved without
women. There is immediate and
desperate work to be done now
by women. We will do it badly if
we ourselves are narrow and un
developed, physically, mentally,
morally. Women have a peculiar
gift for which humanity today
stands in dire need, the develop
ment of the power of mind and
heart and soul, which shall help
to restore the waste places.
In time of war, the U. S. rweds
us strong. Health is our most im
portant natural resource. Better
health means actually adding more
working and fighting men.
The American people have been
shocked to learn ir some rural
districts as many as half the
draftees for the present war were
rejected as physically unfit. This
disconcerting fact called attention
to the acute need for better health
services and for making available
to those with defective eyes, teeth
teet, the means tor corrective
treatment. The neer! for physical
fitness is also emphasized by the
present day requirement of eigh
teen civilian workers to maintain
one man at the front, as com
pared with five in World Wrar I.
Basic Value Of Health
These wartime necessities mere
ly serve to underline the basic
value of health, which is of equal
importance in peace, although it
is more apt to be overlooked. This
need for improved health furniihei
an opportunity to supplement the
expanding public health services
with voluntary work by local
groups. One such group took the
correction of defective teeth as
a cooperative project. The four
dentists irii the community agreed
that, as their professional contri
bution to national defense, they
would contribute one-third of the
cost of dental work. The group
undertook to raise funds to cover
another thir, with the individual
patients paying the remaining third.
Such a set-up might be repeated
in othe communities and in con
nection with otther types of phy
sical handicaps, since General Her
shey reported from the first draft
200,000 boys deferred because of
bad teeth and 100,000 because of
bad eyes.
A factor, equally important, is
personal attention to Healthful
Living. Physical fitness is one of
the most important cogs in our
machine for the worker, for the
farmer. It is important therefore
that he and his family keep well.
The longer hours and heavier work
these days make us more suscep
tible to illness. This is serious in
view of the scarcity of doctors
and nurses.
Four hundred million working
hours were lost last year because
of illness and accidents, too many
of which were in. the home Sixty
four times as many hours as lost
by strikes, of which we hear so
much.
Human Erosion
Much has been said of soil ero
sion far worse is human erosion.
A poorly nourished person cannot
do a job well any more than poor
soil oars produce good crops.
In tests made not long ago in
an aircraft factory, it was found
that 48 .percent of the workers
were deficient in Vitamin A; 21
percent in Vitamin Bl; and 42
percent in Vitamin C. Since vita
mins lead the usable elements of
food we eat to the parts of the
body where they do the most good,
such vitamin deficiencies are ser
ious. It means that the bodies of
these workers were not properly
assimilating their food. Under
these conditions they could not
feel their best nor do their best
work.
Health 'or Victory, or H for V
Clubs ,.ave been organized for
famines of war plant workers. Get
ti.ig enough sleep and exercising
.in open air, so that we may have
a race of . Americans who are as
good as their machines, air cratt,
guns, and tanks.
Conservation of health is not
all our home must conserve food,
clothin.g, and transportation. .
Are we, as housewives, doing
our part as K. P. kitchen police?
"Give us this day our daily
bread," is the Christian's prayer
"Give me bread" is the hoarder's
prayer, as well as the pagan's.
"Me and my wife, Brother John,
and his wife; Us four and no
more," exemplifies the selfishness
which dominates so many lives.
Salvage Materials
Every home should salvage es
sential materials im order that they
may be converted to immediate
war uses. So check over your at
tic, basement, garage, and closets
for salvagable materials. That
means you. It means me. Iron and
other metals, tin cans, . to make
the steel, aluminum, brass, copper,
lead, tin parts, of guns, planes,
tanks, ships; old rubber to make
new rubber for planes, tanks, bat
tleships; fat and grease to make
explosives. Have a regular place
to save Scrap in your home a
can for fat and grease, separate
boxes for rubber, metals, tin cans.
Don't say it's hard. Nothing we
can do is hard in comparison to
what our boys are doing. So get
in the scrap and "Let the Lads
and Lassies Help You."
This is not the first tough time
the world has known. In 1813, the
time of Napoleon the aged and
middle-aged abandoned hope, sur
rendered in spirit to the conqueror
While the aged despaired, youth
went confidently forward planned
a career, fell in love, married.
It is needless for me to tell you
that we, the women of the United
States, are the most privileged
group on earth ; the most pro
tected; the richest; 'the freest
group.
Neither is it necessary for me to
tell you that the women in Europe
or occupied territory have lost all
for which they have fought for
the past 100 years the vote work
desired education ; that 19 million
Soviet women are working in the
fields, 11 million in industry.
Uncle Sam has said. We cart
win the war without the women
and their reply has been "Here
we are, Uncle, what can we Do?
Will we rate as an E worker for
Excellence, Example, and Expecta
tion in Putting our Home on a
War Basis ?
I have every reason to expect
an excellent job as an example of
American womanhood at its best.
