We, the Women— Let ‘Civilian Morale’ Begin In the Home

By RUTH MILLETT

WHAT DOES this term “civilian morale” were hearing so often really mean? What does it mean

to us women? We know what is meant by “morale” when it is used in connection with soldiers, But what does it mean when applied to! = the rest of us? | Well, jet’s re-| duce it to terms of one individu-| al, “Mrs. Jones,” and mavbe we) can see how it} applies to all} women. Mrs. Jones] Ruth Millett runs a house and a family.| National Defense has already touched her life in numerous ways. Most important, of course, is the fact that she now has a son in the Army. In a less important — but still}! serious way—defense has touched |. her pocketbook. It seems to her that everything she buys today costs more than it did a few months ago. And yet the allowance on which she runs her house, feeds and clothes her family is just what it has been for some time. Defense has touched her life out-| side her family, too. She has been faced with the problem of whether to go on spending her leisure at} bridge tables, or whether to vol-| unteer for instruction in some of the defense courses,

MRS. JONES isn't going around wailing because “poor Dick” was taken Into the Army just when he was going good in a new job. She hasn't encouraged Dick to feel sorry for himself Instead she has let him see that she is proud of him, and thinks what he ic doing is important When he gets her letters at camp, he is more—rather than less —satisfied than he was before. He's not mama's boy-who-has-had-8 - tough - break -and -isnt -it-a - shame? Hes a man doing 8 man's duty. i The "high cost of living” hasn% got Mrs. Jones down, either. She has had to start economizing pret-| ty closely—but she doesnt talk about it all the time. She doesn’t ruin her family’s meals by grimly reporting at the table that pork isj up another 2 cents a pound. And she hasn't once said to her) husband, “I just don’t see how I'm| going to manage on my allowance.” She's managing—with a minimum of talk and complaints. And she has decided that she can't afford to waste all her leisure on women's bridge parties and aim- | less teas, So she is busy these days! learning first aid, knitting, roliing bandages, and helping in a school hot lunch program. In short, Mrs. Jones’ morale is splendid. That is, she is making the best of the job she has to do.
