urged out, an 18-ycar-old boy, by
his generals. They had turned
on Prince Pnul, NnzI-InvIng re-

midnight crowning, hut they felt
themselves and the king too
weak to buck Hitler.
Peter is 20 now, bony and a bit
bow-legged as riding breeches made
plain when he visited the United
States last year. He is a long-
faced, long-necked homely kid, not
too prepossessing, but reportedly in
dead earnest. When he took the
midnight crown he quit breaking

Aftir high school and Massachu-

net and there ran the railroads, the
canals and the Canadian Broadcast-

years old, he looks ahead. He

By KATHLEEN NORRIS
F YOU are one of those
women who feel that they
have made a general mess
of matters, that your life up
to this point has been one long
mistake, misunderstanding
and failure, then remember
that we can always start fresh
from where we stand, that it
is always possible to look our
affairs honestly in the face,
make a plan that includes ev-
erybody and everything, and
begin again.
This isja good time to try it,
because life just now is at a
low ebb for us all. The incred-
ible dreidful thing has hap-
pened; the world is at war, and
all the miney and all the man-
power wa have are smashing
civilizationlto pieces on a score of
battlefrontsl Our hearts are sick
with longilg for our boys, with
prayers forlthem; our home life is
disorganized^and changed. Nothing

to our sohliers now going
through the trials of u ar. The
least they deserve when their
fighting is done, is to be greet-
ed at home by happy families
in a position to help them
hark to civilian normalcy. If
there arc debts, quarreling or
any other unpleasant condi-
tions in the family, now is the
time to get them straightened
out. Don't wait until Johnny
comes marching home to un-
burden your troubles on his
shoulders which already have
felt the weight of more suffer-
ing than most civilians will
ever be subjected to.

Can’t you lmaglie the situation
when considering tie Home of the
Future? The folks will be sitting
around the old (ag d three years;
homestead:
Mom—What was hat?

Mom—That funny noise

Pop-Well, there ain’t much sense
trying to go on in a house much
longer than that. It's stood up pret-
ty well.
Mom—I don’t agree with you. We
had trouble with this house from the
minute they deliver'd It. It never
was what you’d cajl a smooth job.
Pop—You didn’t jtake the care of
tt that you should.
Mom—Now donk go giving me

this place.

So, since things are bad, make
them a little worse by getting your
own problem ready for solution. We
all hate to do it. We h*te to pay
old bills, to forgive old wrongs, to
change old ways. We hate dullness,
we Americans, staying at home
instead of floating all over the high-
ways; discussing brown points with
our friends instead of cutting into
great thick red steaks; putting up
Jam or fruitcake for Christmas in-
stead of buying things in shops.
Good Credit Important.
But it’s going to be that kind of
a period, and bfelieve me, it will
be one of the most interesting of
your life if you determine that in
1944 you will live well under your
income, pay up your bills to the last
penny and be able to face whatever
the future holds confidently.
There is a family in our town that
has paid off about three thousand
dollars in petty debts in the last 18
months. They own their own home
now, and while the big salaries go on
they are planning to buy some mod-
est bits of rentable property, so that
when the war is over, if the girls
marry and have babies, the older
couple can offer them holidays in
the old home, help them get started,
and live themselves without money
anxiety.
Yes, that’s what these years might
easily mean to you and yours, if you
use them wisely. The woman of
whom I write is one of the mothers
whose boys won’t come home; she
is carrying a deep load of sorrow
as she plans for the postwar world.
"I wish I’d known,” she said to
me the other day, "that it was so
simple to solve the money problem.
We had plenty, all those years, for
George never made less than about
$50 a week. But I was younger,
and extravagant, and the children
needed so much. I fretted about
being a household drudge, and that
made George cross, and our children
heard a great deal that was quarrel-
some and unpleasant. They tried so
hard to avoid trouble, to keep us
friendly—I see that now.
“Just before Pearl Harbor we be-
gan to talk divorce; we were all
miserable and upset—looking back,
it seems so sad to me, for if I could
have Hugh back, just for a few hours,
he’d never have one moment of in-
harmony at home to remember. Our
darling one boy, he was 18 just one
week after Pearl Harbor and in the
navy one week after that. He went
away in January, was lost at Coral
sea. For awhile it seemed to me
as if I never could enter his room
again, but now we've all shifted
about, so that the association is slow-
ly dying away.
War Makes Mother Wiser.
“Now there’s plenty of money, for
our girls of 18 and 16 are both in
the production line, ar.d I earn my
$300 a month, too. We’ll be inde-
pendent when all this is over. But
I wish I could have those lost years
back, to share George's responsibili-
ties better than I did, to keep ex-
penses down, to keep home the hap-
ny nlao JtBlinht liniin *■— *—■—
of the scene of so much worrying
and bickering. I wish I could see
my boy just once, to tell him how
much, happier and wiser we are
now!”
Life is going to be changed for us
all, make sure of that. We are not
going to rejoice in an armistice as
we did 25 years ago, and go back
serenely to the old ways. It has to
be a better world, now, a safer
place for us all. We will have to
assume some of the responsibility
for making and keeping it so.
Thousands on thousands of women
making big salaries today will be
out of work. Taxes will soar, for we
are counting on the care of a million
injured men. Anything that you are
buying on the installment plan will
be badly wanted by someone else,
and your failure to pay up promptly
will mean that you lose it. To face
postwar conditions with a load of
debt, to start right in complaining
and worrying when the boys come
home, will mean being a bad citizen,
an American who is dragging down
the struggling nation rather than
holding it up.
We can do our returning soldiers
no greater service than to meet
them with good news. The house is
paid for; we’ve bought a little farm;
we don't owe anyone a cent. We’re
all in good health, we’ve a pound of
butter in the icebox, and we're all
ready to enjoy the better times with
you, when they come along.
Service Men Want Normal Life.
Our boys don’t want to come home
to any troubles or any complaining
at all. They don't want to hear any
bad news. They’ll be tired and de-
moralized, and sick of troubles. The
one thing we can do for them is
to be normal, to have serenity and
books, good table talk, confidence
and affection waiting; to convince
them that the towns to which they
come home are the most prosperous
and contented in the world.
Your share of that, however small,
Is very important. If you don’t do
your share, your soldier will have
a right to feel badly treated, when
he comes home.
So clean house. If the family Is
quarrelsome, get out of the quar-
reling habit. If there are unpaid
bills, settle them. If there is grief
to bear, remember that when he
finds you quietly cheerful, more in-
terested in the welfare of the liv-
ing than in mourning for the dead,
his own heart will feel an uplift;
he will love you all the more.
Two brothers went out from the
house next to mine two years ago;
one came home last month. The
whole family dreaded his lone re-
turn; but after the first moment ev-
erything went smoothly, and his
leave was a happy one.
“I found out what a dad and moth-
er and sisters I’ve got,” he told me.
“Courage and faith and love like that
are something to come home to!”
Top—Well, I guess i’ll phone the
builder and see atlut getting a new
one. They’ve got rtmr pretty smart
houses on the marKct this season.
Mom—Mrs. Mabney just got s
new home and it rould knock your
eye out. It's got lensationally new
lines and comes in three colors. It
Is heated by radio.

There were several requisites for

third, you may

Point Pointers: When you run
low on stamps for processed
foods, be sure to find fresh ones
to substitute. To extend a proc-
essed food, use it with a fresh,
seasonal food.
Using foods that are grown near
your own community helps the
transportation problem, as well as
your near-by grower.
For children or invalids who
use canned, pureed foods, extend
by mixing with milk and cream.
Use with purees of other vegeta-
bles and fruits.
Leftovers can be combined with
other foods to use them up; for
example, leftover beets can be
mixed with onion, vinegar and
spices for relish or salad; left-
over corn may be combined with
lima beans, carrots or peas.
Save Used Fats!

fat; add onion and frankfurt-
ers. Cook until lightly brown*, stir-
ring -often. Add Worcestershire
sauce; season with salt and p*|kper.

Both leftover meat and vegetables
