COMBATING NOSTALGIA

Homesickness, according to a west
ern investigator, is one of the chlef
reasons why workmen do not remain
on their jobs.
H. M. Barratt writes in the Salt
Lake Tribune some of the experiences
of Utah men who were brought fror2
their native state to jobs in the East
The men had, many of them, never
been away from home before, and the
change was too much for them. A
number of them threw up theil jobs
and went home.
Homesickness in the case OF some
men is so severe as to become a dis
ease, as physicians have long recog'
nized. The government plant is de-
welcoming a means of acclimatlzln'
men who show signs of nostalgia
The victims of the home-longing are
given the widest latitude, and are
given all the comforts that welfare
workers and the Y. M G. A can
provide them.
Good advice from men who have
already been through the mill with
the realization that their own distance
from home is several thousand miles
less than that of the boys in France
who are so sorely dependent on them
for support, generally banisnes 'ae
feeling within a short time and tne
erstwhile homesick man becomes Oh.

men in the plant.
