PAGE FOUR BLOTTING PAD ' GIRL SAYS BOYS NEED RED CROSS • Helen Felder, Os Greens boro, Has Her Own Part In Great Adventure. ALEXANDERIA, Va., March 10. What war means to Amer ican fighting men overseas and to a Greensboro girl who says she acts “as a blotting pad for all their feelings,” is described in a portion of a letter written by Helen Felder to her parents in Greensboro. Miss Felder is an! assistant staff director of recrea tion at an American Bed Cross club, somewhere in Australia. She is one of more than 1,200 Red Cross field workers serving with American troops on foreign battle fronts. She wrote: “I am tomorrow taking over the annex, which is a separate club across the street. I am virtually becoming a club director, all my own. It is a real opportunity, they cay. I have lots of ideas to work outj 'there. “I wonder, sometimes if any- ■ one back home can posibly kn ow what war means to all these boys over here? I act as a blot ting pad for all their feelings, j They come in and talk to me when they have the pro-combat' jitters. You can begin to sense it: in thm when they begin to talkj about their hemes, and how much., they miss their families, and howj good it would seem to be back home again! You can see their! hands shake when they try to light a cigarette. They are notj cowards . . . I’ve not struck one, ret who was a coward. But it’s 1 ust the matter of going out into! he unknown, net knowing what) , may be staring them in the face, j They know that Fll just soak up: their feelings and not tell any-! one the things they say. “Whenever I see those who have come back, I realize the of combat . . .the 1 were.

But, after the war even when I tell you back! home of the things that war has! meant to these boys, it will be 1 hard for you o understand. It will be something, I suppose,! that the boys and I will under-j stand, but which will be spoken ' in a difficult’ language from the one yon use. ‘You back there go to the movies and see the March of| Time, and see fictional dramas at the war, as well . . . and you cannot restrain the tears from trickling out of your eyes when ever war items are mentioned, -because you have sons and daughters concerned, in whose UST _ Crumpled Fender Smashed Wheel --one days damage is more corfly • th.au 36S<Uys‘ insurance with THOMPSON INSURANCE AGENCY N.
