You'll have to get used to humoring them For instance when you again meet Harry Dunlap, who runs the corne grocery, don't ke surprised by his groeting. Harry didn’t get induct- ed into any service. His was a s vice at home. You knew him very well, but he'll say “How do you do, Jog,"—very formal like—“I don't be- lieve I've s2en you around lately.” This will k of push you back on your heels ke ise you expected him to say, , cld Joe Brown, himsz1f! Back from the wars! How the hell are you? Let's celebrate tonight.” The reason i on you is becau: in a magazine about how to treat returning veterans. He learned he was supposed to treat you just as tbough you had never left town.

This is easily explained. The pam- phlet or the article they read said, “Don't stare at the returning vet- eran. It will make him feel like an object of curiosity.” So they may carry this to extremes and, to avoid I'staring, not even look at you much. o0 they'll insist on your st ng in bed in the morning until all OUurs. It won't make any differ- ence that soft bed used to getti anyway Besides you're up before 1100.

But don’t let them talk you out of it. If you're ex-service because of a disability and you walk into a room on crutches and no one makes move to give you a chair, it's OK.
