morning-back at the uninspiration-
al Job of scrubbing the floors of a
London hotel. Next she was in the
basement of a house that was bomb
ed, and was dug out only after three
hours frantic work by rescue crews.
Again she was on the job the next
morning. Still a third time she
was in the crypt of church which
also was bombed, and third time
she was back at work in the
morning-on time Nothing inspi-
rational about her work to bring her
back-nothing but drudgery; yet she
returned three times to do her
job precisely as though she had
been the prime minister himself.
There are thousands like her
in today's war, and who shall say
they do not deserve medals as much,
at least, as soldiers?
In fact. even in time of peace,
why should we not reward with
public recognition those men and
women who serve the Republic we'll?
1t does not detract from men
who serve bravely and selflessly in
the armed forces, to say that there
are civilian heroes in wartime as
well, and even heroes of peace. 1t
is never wrong to give every pos
sible recognition to all who serve
we'll their felloWmen.

Medals For Civilians

War, while it brings out some
of mans lowest instincts, also
brings to the surface some of his
best. Against all the horror, the
suffering, the degradation, must
be set off the heroism, the self
sacrifice, the sheer courage and love
which stand out amid the hatred
and destruction.
Britain has done we'll to establish
a new medal, the George Cross, for
civilian heroism. Ranking with the
famous Victoria Cross, this new
decoration is to go to those who
in civilian pursuits have shown
