The Lonesome Journey1
Therb’s • nuns-wheeling you; end • m you
glide silently down the corridor there are
other nurses, and doctors, and internes.-But you’re
terribly alone, because this is happening to you,
not them.
If your husband were here, you woukin’tfeel so
alone. Because he’d be there with you, to hold your
hand, and to take care of the many things that
must be taken care of. Your home. Your children.
Your future.
But your husband is somewhere overseas..»

Don’t worry about little Tommy and Jane; there
are nice people in your town who will take them
to a foster home you will like. To fotter parents
who are kindly and understanding; who will tee
that they brush their teeth and do all the little
things you would do for them—until you get home.
Don’t worry about yourself, and how you will
manage when you get back, from the hospital. If
you need more care, there’ll be a visiting nurse to
bathe you and teach you how to look after your
needs.
And whew you get ready to go back to work,
arrangements will be made for you to take the
children to a nursery borne on your way to the
factory and havethem with you again after work
ing hours.

To make fkll these things .possible requires your
help—and the- help of ell the other people in this
community. You can’t bring this woman’s husband
back, but you can help her greatly by giving gen
erously to your Community War Fund.
The services your Community: Fund represents
were here before the war; they will be continued
afterward-but their needs in wartime have been
greatly mutbjdied. Give and give generously this
year, wont you? What other contribution can do
more good, in more ways, for more people?
