Of terror she seemed to grow
younger.
War had brought her a tongue and
a host Of friends and q part in
their myriad adventures.
I tell this story, not because 1t is
great drama but because it is typical.
1t has been happening all over the
London area.
1t illustrates one of the great gifts
war has brought to the populace.
The aging maid is almost a mem
ber of our family now, more like a
mothering aunt than the taciturn
scrublady she used to be.
She is also an illustration Of that
catlike devotion to home surround
ings which convinces one the Lon
don people will die before they are
frightened away from their home
districts.
We have sometimes considered es-
tablishing rest home in the coun-
try beyond the London area and
urged her, If we did, to go with us.
She will not do 1t.
Like the East Enders who, moved
from their devastated blocks of ten
ements to the West End of Lon
don, inevitably filter back to their
own broken neighborhoods, she
steadfastly insists she is going to
stay home"

A period followed when no one
could live in our house until win
dow spaces were filled in, doors re-
set, utilities regained, etc. So she
went down the streets to spend her
nights in one OF the public shelters.
New World Found.
There she found new world in
which people like herself, talking
her own language, laid their cots
and pallets side by side, listened to a
common radio which drowned out
the gunfire, held long conversations
about the affairs of the whole neigh
borhood, traded bits of information
about the effect of the bombs, played
cards; in fact, had a nightly tea
party until lightS-out time.
After that we could never win
her back to staying in the house
during the nightly raids.
She was almost gay as she packed
her little basket and set off in the
cleaning to reach the shelter before
the siren sounded.
At the crack of dawn and after
the morning "All clear" she would
be back bubbling over with the news
she had cleaned and repeating bits
of conversation from the friends she
had made.
For the first time in her life she
had become really social being,
and for all her continuing moments

husband once, but he went off to
Australia not long after the other
war.
She possesses a tiny cottage, a
cat, a teakettle, WaShtub and a
cot.
There were few speaking neigh
bors, but mostly her prewar life
was a lonely one of puttering about
house and garden when she was not
at her work. And at work she was
never talkative.
Blitzkrieg made her new ex-
istence.
Refugees Bring Happiness.
With the very first wave OF bomb
tngs she fell heir to part of family
of refugees. two teen-age girls from
a bombed-out family of 10 children,
She grumbled at first at the dis
ruption of her peaceful existence,
but in almost no time at all found
herself as absorbed in that family's
scattered affairs as If it were her
own. She found happiness mother
ing her little brood
She actually began to talk while
she worked; suddenly there were
things to say beside 'Oh, that awful
Ttler and is hairraids."
Thickening bombardment even
tually made 1t undesirable for her
to go home to her cottage at nights,
and she began staying with us dur
ing the night raids. She visited her
refugee girls and her house at odd
daytime between-raid periods and
on Sundays. The girls took care Of
her cottage.
She was far more nervous than we
were, starting up in fright at mere
gunflre or at some queer sound made
by a truck on the highway.
So 1t hurt our conScienceS to
have her sitting alone in a corner
of the kitchen, or below stairs in
her own room, while we were before
the fire in a strong room with bat
tened windows. We asked her to
come in and sit in the same room
with us during the evenings.
Appearance Spruced Up.
She began to spruce up her ap-
pearance. She showed her apprecia-
ton in innumerable little helpful
ways. And when time for late
night tea came she was always first
to suggest it, quick to rush off to
make it and always held back her
own cup until she was specially
invited to have it in the same room.
The third step in her regenera-
ton came when our house was
bombed 1t was a horrid night.
when everything seemed to crash
about ones ears, and she lay ter
rorized in bed amid debris, unable
to find her slippers in order to ne
gotiate the glass-strewn floor, bereft
of light (for the power was gomez,
freezing cold as the gale blew
through the gaps where windows
and doors had been.
But she was the first one to stir
at dawn and was found alternately
wringing her hands at the appear
ance of devastation upstairs and
earnestly attacking the hopeless
looking job of achieving little order
in the chaos.

ABOARD WILLKIE TRAIN, En-
Route to st. Louis, Oct. II. (UP)-
Wendell L. Willkie said today a
Republican victory in November
would mean "a real job with a real
future for the head of every fam
ily' instead of unemployment and
a growing dependence upon the
state under the New Deal.
In a speech prepared for delivery
at Evansville, Ind. today the Re-
publican presidential nominee said
the Democratic National commit
tee, disputing his pledge to provide
Jobs for all the unemployed, tells
US that no man now living or who
ever lived can hope to bring about
jobs in private industry for every
worker in America
Obviously, no administration that
doesn't believe it is possible to get
jobs will ever be able to get them, -
Willkie said. THE New Deal says to
you: Why take a chance? Why
take a chance on changing admin
istrations at this time? We say to
you: What have you got to lose?
America must choose between
two promises. The young people
OF America must choose between

will speak briefly in East st. Louis

sharp attack upon New Deal relief
policies before all applauding, flag
waving crowd in partially filled
Crosley Field Police Chief E. T.
Weatherly estimated the crowd at
$4,000. 1t was a cool, crisp night.
He charged that "our modern So
ciety and the New Deal" had Gre
ated "a new form of slavery unem-
ployment-that does not shut men
init shuts them out" Speaking
over the Blue network of the Ma
tional Broadcasting company, he
asserted that "the New Deal has
looked upon unemployment as an
opportunity to exchange bread for
votes" coercing relief workers to
vote the New Deal ticket and to
contribute to campaign funds.

Little Activity
During the night London had vir-
tually no air activity. Germans
dropped a few leaflets in rural
England. Two British attacks on
German shipping were reported. In
one a convoy of three supply ships
and two escort vessels were sunk.
In the other a 7000-ton ship was
sunk.
The British attacked Germany
hard despite the weather, setting
great fires at Kiel and blasting
Hamburg, Bremen, Cuxhaven, the
Leuna synthetic oil plant and mu-
nitions plants and power stations
in Saxony.
The German high command ad-
mitted the attack on Kiel and said
the British also had dropped bombs
elsewhere in Germany. 1t said
weather had impeded the German
attack but that Liverpool had been
heavily bombed.
German sources insisted that
Germany had informed Russia that
German troops were going into
Rumania and doubted reports that
German knock down submarines
were being shipped to the Black
Sea. Turkey reported it was con-
vinced of Russian support in event
the Germans menaced the Dardan-
elles. In London, Lord Halifax, for
