By RUTH MILLETT Times Special Writer THE WOMEN were talking about war work, One youthful, ablebodied woman whose only son had recently been drafted said, “Well, I think I've done my part. I've given my son. » If many mothers and wives of men in uniform decide — like that woman — to sit back and take ‘credit for what

won't do much to help the war effort. Because if that kind of reasoning Ruth Millett becomes popular, every family with a service flag in its window—or the right to have one there—could sit back and take (life easy, feeling that they did their "part toward winning the war When ‘they sent a man to fight in it. o ” ”

OF COURSE, a mother or a wife has a right to feel proud of having @& man in the armed forges. She - even has a right to feel that her stake in the war is ‘greater than the woman who hasn't had to give up a son or husband. But she can’t rightly feel that Just because a man in her family is doing what he is supposed to do she is relieved of all obligation to do a citizen's share toward winning the war. Instead of that attitude, women should take this one: “My son— or my husband—is doing his share. What can I do that will make me feel that—according to my capacities =] am doing just as much?” It might even be a good idea for women to stop saying or even thinking, “I'm giving a son,” or “I'm giving a husband.” If a man is old enough to go into the armed forces— rio woman gives him to his country. He either offers himself—or he is taken. So, if a woman wants to feel that she is giving something, she -should give her own time, her own strength, her own endeavor.
