PININC FOR PODUNK

We wonder if that woman, who wrote
West is "vile aid filthy" and is a "Hell-
hole" and then was afraid or ashamed to
sign her name knows that writing an anon
ymous letter is despicable thing; we Won
der if she knows that only towards write
and mail anonymous letters?
"a She signs the letter, can Army Wife
tradition of honor and fearlessness that
characterize our Army she would not have
lodged behind a nom de plume, and she
may be sure that, if she is proud of the Ar
my, the Army despises people who attack
anybody or any institution in foul language
and have not enough stiffening in their
backbone to sign their names to the attacks.
BIT enough of that; everybody with
spark of honor in his makeup despises the
writer of anonymous letters. Let's consider
further the attacks that have been made on
Key West by people who were not afraid
to sign their names.
Here is an apt story: a group OF Mexl-
can Indians, poems, expert Weavers, who
lived in hovels slept on floors and kept body
and soul together by eating frijoles and tor
tillas,-these peonswere taken to Boston to
appear at an exhibition of needlework of all
kinds so that the American public could see
how they weaved so ntricately.
The poems were given the best of food,
were put in rooms with the best of sleeping
accommodations, but at the end of three
days the poems implored the management
te send them back to Mexico-back to their
novels and their plain food. Why did they
want to go back? The answer is not hard
to find: they were homesick.
That is the answer to the service men
who are homesick in Key West and have
been trying to relieve their feelings by COM
planning about Key West. They want TO be
back in Podunk, their hometown, and it
makes no difference how small it is or how
backward it is or how lacking in modern
conveniences it is, they want to be back
here.
That pertains only to the service man
who has not travelled much. This trip prob
ably is the first he has made from home. 1t
is altogether different with the man who
has travelled widely, who knows the world
and who has seen great part of it. He is
satisfied wherever Uncle Sam sends him he
doesn't pine to be back in Podunk; there
fore, he doesn't write abusive letters about
Key West or any other town in which he is
stationed.
