A Westerner soon comes to the
conclusion that English people
are much easier to get acquaint
ed with than New Englanders.
This writer once made a casual
remark to his next-door neighbor
at a restaurant counter in New
York and received this rebuffing
answer: "You're one of these
Westerners who speak to strang
ers, aren't you?" There is none
of that attitude here.
A TYPICAL example is a fairly
large farmer upon whom this
writer called in the Midlands the
other day. He was in his OF
FICE these English farmers on
a fairish scale have offices, even
including a combination book
keeper and stenographer, and
often an inter-communicating
telephone system so that they can
speak direct and without going
through a central office to their
various operations. That is
where they are normally to be
found.
He was difficult at first, and
gave almost the impression of
being put out at being disturbed.
But by that time this writer was
getting onto the system and in
stead of hurriedly excusing him
self and getting away from there
plunged into questioning for
the operation was an interesting
one, with much to challenge an
American's curiosity. Under
this barrage of questions the
Englishman's reserve (I'm per
sonally convinced it is SHY
NESS) melted almost immedi
ately and in a few minutes he
was calling up his car and in
sisting on going on a tour of his
entire establishment and dur
ing the tour he was as interested
and as proud and almost as
voluble as an American would
have been in similar circum
stances. -.'',".
GETTING back to the GI here.
He is LIKED not just tol
erated as an ally, but liked FOR
HIMSELF. When this thing is
all over and our GIs are where
they want to be, which is HOME,
it will be realized that they
have done a far greater job of
international good will building
than all our diplomats and all
our public relations experts put
together.

group of GIs, obviously just ar
rived in London on leave from
the continent, came out of the
PX door the other day with their
hands full of their week's ration
of cigarettes and candy. They
kept the cigarettes, disposing of
their seven packages in their
various pockets in such a man
ner that there would be no
bulges to draw down the ire of
an MP for being "out "of uni

the street passing out the candy

And a 'word In passing about
the English- children who re
ceived the candy. Candy is
scarce here, and their eyes snap
pedbut in EVERY caso they
said:: "Thank you, sir" in a tone
that carried real thanks. By and
large the English children are
a courteous and well trained lot.
