Page 8 Verhovayak Lapja February 11, 1943 O OLADIES’ PAGE O O THE HOME FRONT IN NATIONAL DEFENSE In the United States today “keep the home fires burning” has a new meaning. It means that a million and a half young men have already joined the armed forces of national defense. It means that still more millions. men and women too, have been recruited to the “army in overalls” that mans the industrial lines of national defense. It means that »11 the people throughout the whole country must put their shoulders to thfl wheel. It means that all the machinery of our Government, Federal, State, and local, is working together to strengthen community self-service — for health, for recreation, for education, and for family security. H»"c is how the Office of Defen-e and Welfare Services explains the wh»t, where, and how or home front defense. WHAT IT IS: The Home Front is where we live and how we live — all of us, 130 million Americans. Strengthening the home front means doing a better job than we have ever done to make our common life worth living in oür own home towns: We must see that everybody has enough food and the right kind of food. We must protect people’s heallh. We must be ready to work harder and better. We must make hours offwork happy and worthwhile and interesting through the kind of recreation that is, as the word itself says, re-creation of heart, and mind, and body. We must provide schools for children, vocational training for young people preparing for future jobs, and older workers looking toward better jobs. We must safeguard the security of families by seeing that people have decent houses to live in, and that homes are not broken up because of povei ty, illness, and other disaster. There is nothing new about any of this. We have been working for all these kinds of self-service a long time. But we cannot now afford to take them for granted or to be satisfied with a piecemeal job. What is new is that total defense demands the ■ total strength of the Nation. And for the strength of the Nation, we must do a better and bigger job of community self-service than ever before. WHERE IT IS: The advance line of the home front stretches across the continent, East, West, North, and Soulh, and on to the outlying bases — from Alaska to Puerto Rico I rom the Philippines to Newfoundland. It is made up of all the villages and towns and cities — several hundred of them — that are next door neighbors to our Army posts and naval stations and defense communities. Most of these communities' are — or were — small. With the coming of defense, their populations, military and civilian, have doubled, tripled, increased by four or five or even ten times. Overcrowded defense towns are likely to be short of everything — houses, schools, sanitation, hospitals, and especially recreation space and equipment for soldiers, sailors, and defense workers when they “go to town.” The townspeople want to make our defense forces feel at home. They are tackling their defense problems as best they can. But they cannot do the job alone. They need all the help other people, other communities, and the Nation as a whole can give them. No matter whether you live far away — no matter if you never see a soldier or sailor on your streets, or defense workers pouring in and out of factories — you have a stake in “keeping the home fires burning” in these defense towns. They are the front line of home defense. The men in our armed forces, the men and women, on the industrial production line, come from everywhere. Many of them come from your State, your county, your town. What happens to them while they live in these new defense towns is important to their families at home and to you. But the home front does not end with defense towns. Your State, your county, your town also have a job to do. You and your neighbors must keep your own “home fires burning” too. Serving your own community is serving the Nation. For our home towns are the great reservoirs of our national strength and health and morale.

This appeal is made to raise the funds necessary to carry on the war work of the Red Cross. Our boys are serving in the armed forces all over the globe. And where they are the Red Cross is with them, binding their wounds, giving them cheer in their hours of convalescence and keeping in touch with the folks back home. The Red Cross helps not only the boy in service but also members of his family who may be in distress through illness or the inability to support themselves. Many boys owe their life to the blood bank which is being collected by the Red Cross. Our boys are made comfortable through the efforts of our doctors and nurses serving on the fighting fronts. Knitted garments and kit bags have been given our boys; the garments made by workers at home and the kit bags contain 28 different articles — such as cigarettes, playing cards and many other items. Prisoners of war have also been relieved through the untiring efforts of the Red Cross. Our boys are giving their all to make this a Victory War. We, who are left at home, can do our share by contributing cash to supply the Red Cross with funds needed to carry on the splendid work they are doing for our boys. It’s up to us to support the War Fund on the home front so that the Red Cross can carry on their work of mercy for our boys on the fighting fronts. 3. 4. to % cups of water, salt to season Add 2 tbsp. butter and 4 tbsp. water to vegetables Cover, cook on medium heat from 25 to 45 min. chopped almonds 7.
