Ten Rules For All Army Wives
By MICKIE ALLEN
Has it ever occurred to you
that Army wives seem to have
their own "code of conduct." They
can be summarized as a kind
of "Ten Commandments"
1. Know your husband's prime
duty to his country. Try to show
fortitude self-sufficiency under
standing patience and don't be
a dinger. (A tall order but some
thing to strive for.)
2. A wife's first obligation is
to hold the family. Give children
a sense of security and husband
a sense of stability and comfort.
(Join outside functions but try not
to let these interests take prece
dence over the family.)
3. Any act of an Army
wife or child reflects on Sir
Husband on his career and
indeed1 on other service
wives. Particularly overseas
conduct must be above re
proach. (Read The Ugly Amer
ican and see why this impres
sion must Ibe a good one for
people judge all Americans by
the ones they know.)

(This makes for a happy uni
fied feeling instead of lonesome
misery.)
5. Learn to be a good listener
and a good conversationalist.
Share your husband's problems if
he asks know something about
his work so you can discuss it
intelligently but don't butt in.
Don't probe into information
which must be classified. (It just
"ain't" ethical.)
6. Share your husband's in
terests and tastes without los
ing your own individuality
(It was Ogden Nash who said
it "Marriage is the only ex
ample of the happy meeting
of he immovable object and
the irresitable force.")
7. Try to keep finances on an
even keel and be a good bud
geteer. (A budget may be just
a method of worrying before you
spend as well as afterwards but
it's a necessary evil.)
Congeniality is necessary
for the Army wife as well as

Secretary Stahr also made these
points in his speech:
"The tempest of our times is
the wind of change and we must
set our sails to make it work for
us because it has only begun to
blow.

international differences."
Explaining Mr. Stahr said
where we once built our military
power around the conviction that it
should be used only to wage war
when our freedom or national sov
ereignty was threatened we now
think of it as our best hope to
prevent war and to hold down the
level of any conflict that might
occur.
"Our basic national purpose"
he said "is the preservation of
the integrity of the nation and
its fundamental values and insti
tutions."
He added that "we are com
mitted to the establishment of an
international climate of security
and stabilty prerequisite to the
settlement of world problems and
he a he a
peace."
To do this he said "we main
tain military strength to deter ag
gression to halt the expansion of
tyranny to help restrain any bel
ligerence posing a serious htreat
to world order ...
"But if deterrence fails the pur
pose is to achieve a quick and
decisive victory in any conflict in
which we might become involved."

Most Army wives seem to have
as much enthusiasm now for the
life they have chosen as they did
in the beginning. Most enjoy the
new challenges have a love of
adventure and conform when
need be.
In reality Army wives stan
dards opinions and ideals are
no different than other wives of
the world—regardless of their hus
band's profession. Army wives
feel it an honor to be part of the
oldest of military services and
consciously try harder to achieve
their goals.
