It reads in part: “Mrs. Mary Moore Thomson of Oxford, O., the American mother for 1943, Saturday. urged all American women to ‘hang to- gether’ and work for international Peace and understanding, begin- ning in their own back'yards . .. ee 1943. American mother, who is 58 a widow, has four sons, in the armed services and in war “<The prob- lem of intern: tional peace is a persqnal one to all mothers,’ have sent their sons to fight and die in all parts of the world.’ . . . “Women have,,, been. brought together in this war, and they should hang together, peace,’ she said.” .44 vert Drafted mothers.of-our nation, that is what war is demanding of || ‘women, as well as of men: to “hang together to work for peace.” And such work begins in our “own back yards.” Yes, drafted mothers, we must work together in our own ranks to create unity in others. Unity is the most essential implement of war, because all other implements gain nothing when unity is lacking. work. for }j| POINCIANA CIRCLE PLANS FOR MEETING ‘The Poinciana Cirele of the W. M.

In other times, Mother’s Day was an occasion whereby we received, One might say, we became almost weakened by the glory of moth- erhood. Since we had done our part in having given them birth, and in having reared them to the estate of man, we felt our task was ended. How little did we un- derstand, however, the true mean- ing of a Mother’s Day in time of war! How little did we know of the demands on mothers of fight- ing men! A recent conversation which I had with a drafted mother, a wi- dow Herself, made me realize this fact more fully. “It’s a glorious thing to be a mother, worthy of a son fighting for his country,” she said. “In the past, I've never béen strong enough to do the things I've wanted to. So on a/’ Mother’s Day, my son did so many lovely things for me—gave me the most wonderful presents and made an unusual fuss over me. And I think that’s why some of the wo- menIknow were unkind to me. They must have thought I was putting on—I mean about my health—to get all that a¥ention from my boy. Then he was draft- ed and I was left quite alone, “Some weeks later, I invited a soldier and his wife to tea. He is a flyer and was stationed near here at the time; his wife came down to be with him. I served them baked beans ,,that night. ‘They just raved about them. And the soldier said, ‘Gee, how the fel, | lows .would envy me eating such delicious home-baked _beans!’, Right after that, I started baking beans and selling them to the sol- diers at cost. At last I was of some use—and in my own home, too, where I could lie down when I got tired. ~“Of course the women who had been unkind found out about it. So I askéd them if they would like to-help me serve. the soldiers. It jUSt goes to show what a war will do.to people who have sons in the army. Now these women are work- ing with me, because they, too, have sons in the service. And this last Mother's Day we celebrated in honor of our boys; we invited fourteen soldiers in for a supper of baked beans.” ARRIVE ON VISIT Mrs. Harry B, Peacock, for- merly of Key West, but who is now making her home in Miami, accompanied by her daughter, Lieutenant Isabelle Peacock, Army Nurse Corps, stationed at Ft.
