MORNINGS IN WAR TIME"

It's different these mornings. Had
you noticed? At our house We're
up long before daylight and break
fast is over when the sun sends its
lirst GOLDEN rays through the bare
branches of the trees across the
road. .A .S.;.,4
It's still very low in the East
when John starts to work and the
children shove off to school, leaving
ms alone to begin the days house
work. l stand at the window for a
few minutes after the kids have
gone, watching them It'll they turn
the corner. Then ] realize how
strange it is to have the family gone
and the decks cleared like this so
early in the morning.
There's quality of excitement
about early rising. It's always meant
that something special was going to
happen. A journey to be taken, per-
haps, or preparation for important
company to be made, or some unus-
ual job to be done--like spring
cleaning.
Then ! remember that mornings
in war time are always special.
There's so much to be done-not
only by the boys in camp who must
answer to the roll call while the
stars still show in the paling sky,
but by the hundreds Of thousands
OF workers in the factories that
are building the machines for this
war. And by the rest of us who are
doing all the extra things we can
to weld together the strength Of
our country.
We should be up extra early
these days-every one Of us. We
started so late to get ready for this
war that we need to use every min
ute now. Years of work must be
done in months.
So far the war has not gone our
way. But we know the tide will turn
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1942-02-26

when American planes o. and Amer1-
IAN ships and Americans guns pour
out of the factories at the rate pos
sible in this industrial nation and
that then the headlines in the paper
will be different. We won't always
be on the defensive, saving what we
can at great cost. Some day we'll be
able to take the offensive with the
greatest amount Of war material
me war has ever seen!
But until this happens, we must
work. From sun up until sun down
and then into the night. The execu-
tive at his desk, the workman at his
machine, the pilot IN his plane, ana
asst, but not least, the housewife
in her kitchen. We must build new
machines and learn new skills and
meet new shortages calmly, con-
fidently, with sense of dedication
to the one great cause.
So, am glad these war time
mornings begin so early and seem
so different I'm glad that | must
be up and at work before the sun
rises. 1t not only gives me more day
light hours in which to do extra
things that war has brought about;
the Red Cross training and the sal
wage work and the more careful
marketing. But, it makes me feel
that l am part of a great whole
close to the boys in camp in this
country and abroad and to those
in that vast army of industry that
stands behind the ones in uniform
