Keeping American
Homes Intact .
We're great home lovers lrvour

Americans. So when war came,
and the boys left In uniform, and
the girls went into war planta,
folks began to shake their heads,
Mom and Sis sit down to write
their daily letter tq Bep Jr,,
they’re closer together than ever
, bound by a strong and com
mon purpose—to keep their fam

Take Boa Ryder's family, for
instance-all doing something
different, Yoang Bea's in the
Navy, and his sister's fa the air-
plane plant, Bea's foreman at
the tool shop, and Ma spends her
days at the Canteen.
From where I sit, the strength
of America lies in that family
spirit—in the tolerance and mu
tual respect and understanding
that have made the American
family a strong and vital force
for Good!
