rom
where I sit
lif Joe Marsh
fERY often these days, I get to
chinking about the soldier boys at
camp. And the sailors, too.
What worries me is . . . what
happens when they get a day off
after working their heads off all
week? They go to town . . . and
what then?
What happens? The answer is
. . . mostly nothing! Because most
towns near army camps just don't
have nearly enough entertainment
facilities to take care of the soldiers
on leave. So the boys just stand '
around, leaning against lampposts :
or sitting on doorsteps. And some
times, the local townsfolk find
themselves wondering what's
changed the town . . . instead of
pitching in to help the boys have a
good time in decent surroundings.
In many towns, however, the
situation is better. Many towns
have nice, community places where
a soldier can go sit down and "chew
the fat" and enjoy some cake and
milk, or maybe a, good glass of
beer. The boys like that. And they're
not likely to get in trouble . . .
because common sense tells you
nothing can be wrong about a
couple of glasses of beer.
There's another reason, too. The
beer industry is cooperating with
the army and with the law-enforcement
officers to help keep the
places where beer is sold, clean and
decent The brewers don't want
their beer sold to soldiers in places
where bad conditions exist . . . and
they're right
Seems to me that we Americans
ought to get. together and do
everything we can to make things
pleasant for the boys who are in
training. They're doing their duty
. '. . maybe we have some duties,
too, in this direction.
: There are lots of ways of help
ing. We ought to support them all.
All of us have our part to play in
winning this war . . . and making; .
life a little easier for the boys in
camp is something we all can do
something about.
