How TO Write WAAC Wife,
Advice Asked by Husband
BY HENRY McLEMORE

OUR most recent batch of fan
" mail - so-called because
most of ii is so hot that we have
to fan ourselves after reading
it-included letter from a man
asking advice.
This was a novelty in itself.
Most readers who take pen in
hand to write a columnist give
advice. In the last year our
readers have enlightened us on
vast number of subjects,
ranging from how to distinguish
the male from the female ca
nary at so PAGES, to the adj
vantages of living in a town
where the fire department is
composed entirely of volunteers.
So. it was with a start, partly
from surprise and partly from
gratitude, that we read the LETT
ter from one seeking our help.
Unfortunately, we don't be-
lieve we are going to be of any
great service. The man wanted
TO know just what sort of letter
a husband should write to his
wife who is a WAC.
CT SAW where the military
L authorities h n d advised
civilians as to the type of letters
they should write to men in the
service" he wrote. Letters full
of cheer and with the unpleasant
happenings on the home front
mentioned lightly II Mt all.
But so far the military au-
thorities have not seen fit to adj
wise us husbands on how to
handle the correspondence to
our wives I'm the service. We
need advice, desperately"
The husband then explained
his troubles. Nothing he had
written his wife-a staff SER
geant, we believe he said she
was-has been satisfactory.
When she first went away to
Des Moines he made UP his
mind TO tell her the truth in his
letters.
He would spare nothing in de-
scribing how he missed her, how
empty the house was since she
went away, and how the house
was getting along with him in
charge as housekeeper.
s~INHAT was a mistake" his
i letter says. 81 should never
have done that. Only my wife's
intense patriotism kept her from
going AWOL on receipt Of my
first letter.
"In this letter I painted an
honest picture Of how the house
looked now that she was gone.
Apparently IL upset her to learn
that the kitchen stove had only
one burner that worked: that 7
had closed of all Of the upstairs

WHEN SHOULD A FAMILY
BORROW IN WARTIME?

MANY PEOPLE hesitate to borrow
1Vl in wartime. Their hesitation is
justified. This is time to avoid debts
if you can do so without undue hard
ship. 1t is better for you and for the
war effort to reduce YOUR debts if
you can.
Before you get a loan in these times,
be sure that you really need it. Much
borrowing which is reasonable enough
in peacetime now appears extrava-
CANT and unwarranted. Don't borrow
to buy something you may be able to
get along without. Don't get loan
to pay for trip which you may not
need to take at all. Don't borrow to
buynew things you can makeyour old
things do for the duration. In short, be-
fore you borrow, ask yourself if loan
Is necessary and will be really helpful.
