It is by and from)the American people. The railroads provided free trans- portation. Local citizens along the way donated the food and loaded the cars. A few patriotic leaders in Hollywood, such as Harry Wwarner, did the organizing. To me this is important. It re- presents the difference between cer- tain people abroad who wait for their governments to tell them what to do, and the American people who act ahead of their government. I was talking to a young lady the other day who half complained that life was much ‘easier during the war. In wartime she said, people knew exactly what they should do and did it. X To a certain extent she was right. Women worked for ambu- lance units or the Red Cross or the Grey Ladies. They all enjoyed working for their country. They ali felt they were a part of their coun- try. People cooperated on victory gardens; neighbors who ‘had scarce- ly spoken to each other organized car pools. They got more exercise, were less selfish and enjoyed work- ing for thir country. Then, suddenly, the war ended and a lot of this patriotism stopped.
