A GOOD FIGHT
In agreement with Multum lm Parvo, soldiers' wives are fighting a good fight. The soldiers were promised every help to fight their fight I now see that the wives should have asked the same before signing over the husbands to King and Country. I, through my loyalty to home and garden, digging especially, have now spoilt my chances of ever having another child, through strain, and my husband's men friends comment on how silly I was to do it But did one of them offer to help, oh no, but they will all be here if he returns waiting for what he could do for them. They who knew their jobs would be made essential waited for the ballots when they would be appealed for. I thank God for a man with a backbone and a country he thought well worth giving up all for three days after war was declared, and has still waiting, after three years, a lonely wife and little son. NO PLAYMATE.
