How To Feel Your Furlough Joe
By GAYNOR MADDOX
When your favorite GI Joe re
turns from overseas on his 60-day
furlough or to be discharged, he’ll
want to eat big and well. A re
cent poll by the Y.W.C A.’s USO
clubs reveals that the boys ■ in
overseas areas dream of steaks,
fresh milk, fried chicken, fresh
fruits and vegetables. What they
never want to see again on their
home tables are pressed luncheon
ham, dehydrated milk or eggs, or
beef or lamb stew.
No Monotony, Please!
The boys expect their womenfolk
to be good cooks and that, ac
cording to the poll, means cooks
that don’t serve the same things
over and over again.
Your Joe will want all the
things he’s been missing—dozens
of fresh towels in the bathroom,
smooth clean sheets every night;
food cooked exactly to his liking
and served at a table completely
covered with a “nice, white
cloth.”
He won’t want breakfast in bed.
I^t breakfast any time of the
morning he comes downstairs is
a real luxury. A big breakfast
with whole eggs cooked to just the
fraction of a minute he likes best.
(There’s no “short order” timing
in the armed forces.) Hot biscuits
that are really hot, with home
made jam. Coffee and milk both,
a whole pitcher of real milk. And
fresh jfruit that’s neither dried nor
canned nor frozen.
Use your best Irish linen cloth,
your best china, place the table
near the best window, have cig
arets on the table and give him
all the time he wants.
Keep these things in mind when
planning your reception for your
awn beloved hero.

Maybe Today's Young Folk
Can Teach The Oldsters
By RUTH MILLETT
“What’s the Matter With the
Family?” asks Margaret Mead, the
noted anthropologist, in a recent
article in Harper’s Magazine.
She answers the question by
saying: “The
family, Ameri
Ican style, 1945,
lacks the old
familiar props
and properties
upon which we
have all been
depending.
Those who live
within it are
suddenly faced
. And she sug
Rutli Millett gests that
young folks will be better able
to work out all the new adjust
ments they face if the symbol
movies, radio broadcasts, maga
zines stores and comic strips il
luminate it for them.
But, perhaps, there isn’t too
much to worry about after all.
Perhaps, now that young folks
can no longer follow the family
patterns set up by their own
mothers and fathers (and they
can’t in wartime) they will work
out, by trial and error, far better
patterns for marriage in these
times than the old ones they have
had to discard.
True, they don’t have the safe,
steady place in society and the
pressure of local customs to make
their marriages follow a set form.
But because they don’t they
may very well work out a way
of living and a form for marriage
that is more nearly what they
want and need, and therefore ac
tually stronger, than if they had
been able to follow a form set for
them by past generations.
Learned A Lot
Joe and Helen (and there are
thousands like them) didn’t start
out with a house in their home
town, a steady job with a chance
at advancement for Joe, an es
tablished place in their communi
ty because their parents were so
and-so.
They started out their married
life by making a home where
ever they were sent, by making
friends of whatever crowd they
were thrown with, by realizing
that both had to cooperate and
make sacrifices if they were to
have any marriage at all. And then
came separation, when they both
had a chance to evaluate their
life together and to give some
thought to where they wanted to
go.
Sure, they made mistakes. But
they learned a lot, too. And it
isn’t too much to expect that they
who have made their marriages
stick in wartime can make them
stick in any peacetime conditions
they may have to face.
Perhaps, instead of the sym
bolmakers teaching them new pat
terns, they are teaching and will
teach the symbol makers.
