Since I felt the point they made was so sound, I received permission to present their ideas in this column. Theréfore; let me give you this conversation as nearly as I can recall it. “Tt's».a_ relief,” stressed one drafted wife, “to read the ‘Blon- die’ pictures in the funnies. So many today are on sabotage and spying. And believe me, they give one the jitters. Too much is too much.” “You're right,” agreed the oth- er. “If we had more. of the ‘Blondie’ types of pictures it| would help aj lot, especially for girls like ourselves who} worry so about their hus- bands.” “*And the magazines and books! They’re ERAINE TURIN full of all kilids of horrible war _ stories. It’s all right to read articles about conditions. We want. to know what’s going on, of course. But why can’t they stop there, and give.us.stories with other settings than those of war?” “I don’t know what's the mat- ter with people in this war: Dad tells me in the last war they had all kinds of books and maga- zine stories about other things, so people could find some escape and not get so worked up all the time.” “And every story you hear over the radio, too, is some kind of war story. I just can’t listen to such things any more. They always make me think of poor Jim and what might happen to him any day now. Really it gives me the creeps.” “You said it. It seems to me if we’re to be able to do good work, like you and me who are welding now, shouldn’t we find some escape in our hours off? When we work for the war all day long, we shouldn’t have it thrown at us when we're sup- posed to rest and get away from it for awhile.” “But there’s ‘no getting away from it, even when you're out somewhere. When you go’ to the movies, all they hand you are war pictures. Or if you go anywhere else, everybody’s al- ways talking about the war.” “And did you ever notice that it’s the ones who aren’t even do- ing a thing to help.in war work, who do the most talking, about the awful war conditions?” “In the other war, so my moth- er says, they always tried to make people who had someone in the army forget, by taking them out where they could get their minds on other things.” “A little more of that today would go a long way with me, Tm telling you. If they keep reminding me of the dangers; that poor Bob is facing, I'll sim-! ply go nuts.

When the fel- lows get together like that, they always have the best time ever. They find a lot of escape that way. And when someone comes to entertain them, the jokes that are told are about everything but the war. That’s what keeps up their courage.” “You know people aren’t al- lowed to take time off in the right way. Not that they don’t get plenty of time off. But they aren’t allowed to know: how to use it beneficially, with all the war broadcasts and pictures and books flung at them all the ‘time. Besides if they used their time off right, they could get much more work done and do it bet- ter. Because they’d be allowed to find escape when they’re not on the job.” HELPS PREVENT At the first sneeze, sniffle or sign of nasal irritation, put a few drops of Vicks Va-tro-nol up each nostril.
