"HI YA, POP" MAKES ITS
BOW IN ENGLAND. Hundreds of British youngsters from 5 to 16 years who have returned after four years in the United States gave their parents somewhat of a shock recently with their breezy manner and American talk. “Hi ya, Pop,” some of the children greeted their fathers. Those who had been shy when they went away in 1940 to escape German bombers appeared to have gained confidence. They” hailed everybody as 11 buddy. ’ ’ “It will take the youngsters a year to readjust themselves,” one of the mothers said. A father said: “My daughter Mary was four months old when she went away. Now she is four years old and a good Yankee. I have never heard anything like it before.”
