What Becomes of Your
Red Cross Work?

WE ON The Detroit Times
are very proud of the work be-
ing done by members OF The De-
troit Times Homemakers' Club
for the American Red Cross.
Not even the heat wave keeps
our ladies from coming every
Tuesday loyal workers,
every one of them.
The work is knitting and plain
sewing. The finished articles
are turned over TO the Detroit
chapter of the Red Cross, where
il Is boxed up and shipped to
England to families who have
been bombed out of their homes,
left with no warm clothing.
All this with the blind
faith that their work reaches
people who appreciate il.
But it's much nicer TO know
what has become of your efforts
and, therefore, we are
happy TO print excerpts from
letters received by the Detroit
chapter.
From England
From Mrs. Graham Arnold,
Sutherland avenue, Biggin Rfll,
Kent. England:
This is 10 thank you on be-
half OF my husband for the gray
socks you so kindly knitted and
which after their long journey
found home. II is very good
Of you to knit for the boys, who
find them very useful and warm
with the work they have to do.
MY husband is a signalman
in the Royal Corps OF Signals
and is one of the ex-B. f. F.,
who just managed to get back.
He has just had seven days
leave and that's how I found
your socks in his kit bag.
I'VE had TO leave London as
our town was badly smashed.
We are now living in the coun-
try--that is. my mother and a
young nephew-and il Is fairly
safe. but you can never trust
Jerry.
I'VE are used to the bombing
now and hope for the best and /
always think / must be as brave
as my husband and the rest of
the boys who give their lives for
us.
What the following months
may bring we are ready TO face
and can take II. I shouldn't ad-
wise Jerry 10 start any funny
business here.
On Duty
Myself and family are fire
watchers and we 90 on duty
twice a week. There have been
lot Of fire bombs come. which
don't sound so good going of.
There has been no warning to-
night. They don't seem to come
every night so you can go to
bed in peace.
Il expect you hear the news
over the radio. / do hope you
will be kept out of this beastly
war, but you are giving us mar
velous help with materials which
we need so much. Your ideas
are always so new. I wonder
and hope some day we will be
able 10 build this country on the
same lines as yours.
Il have a cousin in Canada

glad 10 be writing 10 you as the

wanted 20 visit. Whether / ever
shall remains TO be seen.
I'VE have a lot of Canadian

1t Is more than his actions that makes Saroyan
a problem child to the intellectually well-bred.
Highbrows raise eyebrows at his passionate dis
regard Of the conventional styles and forms Of
contemporary prose and drama "What difference
does II make what you call IT,, he asks, 80 long
as IL breathes?"
Arguments over Mr.. Saroyan's ablity-genius
or poppycock-started with the publication of his
first short stories, THE Daring Young Man on the
Flying Trapeze." in 1894. His more recent works
have done nothing to abate the controversy.
There is no question of how Saroyan feels
about Saroyan. Self-assured ("modesty In 0pr

critics Of his greatness. He is his own best audi

Although details were lacking,

of whether or not certain creation is story, but
question Of whether not it is at all; and IL It
is, but seemingly not a story, it is nevertheless
and that's all there Is to It,"

Time alone will decide whether the problem
child of American literature of 1941 will be taken
seriously or, like the title of his ballet, THE

probably be the first to admit, some of his work
would have belonged in collection he once start
