does that mean?
Mr. Bright
a says. .11 means

the war.
Mr. Fogg What do they have
their minds taken off the war
for? Isn't that the big thing right
now, and can you win it without
thinking about it?
; Mr. Bright That isn't the
idea. It means that some kind
if recreation is necessary. Peo
ple go balmy just thinking
' about their troubles all the
I time. They must have diversion.
; s Why are there night clubs, and
comedians?
Mr. Fogg I've often wondered,
myself. But does all that mean
that when somebody is - fighting
for his life he must have a song
and dance team or a troupe of
trained seals pop out .every little
while to humor him along so! he 11
keep on fighting?
Mr. Bright Of course not. Any
way, the boys who are doing the
fighting don't have any time for
recreation. Sports and such are to
keep up the morale of the people
who stay home.
Mr. Fogg So the people who
stay home must be entertained
and coddled so they will work
hard and produce things that
the boys who are; fighting need.
Is that it?
Mr. Bright Well, I never
thought of it that way, but I guess
that's the general idea.
Mr. Fogg In other words, if
you are fighting to protect me, I
must be wheedled along So 1 will
keep on handing you clubs.
Mr. Bright No-o-o, not; ex
actly. I think you have ; the
- wrong impression of the Amer
ican people. They have a job
to do, and they are going to
do it. -If any way is found to
make the doing of it more
pleasant, whether it is sports
or anything else, so much the
better. The people would do
their bit if there were no sports
r other , entertainment. But if
there can be sports without in
terfering with anything, so
much the better.
, Mr. Fogg-Say, our ancestors
were pretty good fighters, weren't
they? Those fellows at Valley
.Forge and Bunker Hill? Did they
have sports and song and dance
acts to keep up the morale of
those who weren't fighting?
Mr. Bright Of course not.
Things were different in ; those
days. They were fighting for in
dependence. Mr. Fogg And just what are
we fighting for?.
; Mr. Bright Independence,
but I never thought 'of it that
! C way before. Sure, you're right,
Mr. Fogg. Why should we have
i to worry about morale? The
boys up front can't take! time
' out from the fighting to watch
a ball game or tennis match as
' a tonic to their morale and to
' keep them fighting. Why should
- we at home need that kind of
a shot in the arm? Darn it all,
we don't It's nice to talk about
. baseball and boxing and the
like aiding our morale, but when
you come right down to it why
do we need anything to aid our
.'morale?.
Mr. Fogg I dunno. I guess we
? can get along without them.
'. Mr. -Bright Sure we can. But
we don't, want to unless we have
? to. We might as well make things
i as pleasant as we can, but this
