strictlons growing out Of the war
are definitely Affecting family life.
Some OF the effects are good. and
some increase the emotional ten.
slons already there. For example,
the problem OF transportation Is
automatically throwing families
closer together. IN many ways this
Is q desirable thing. Parents see
more OF their children and children

However, In those families where
friction and tensions exist, the
bringing together for longer periods
Of time OF such antagonlstlc in

tensions and lead to more frequent

SO far as men are concerned, the
liability OF draft for military service
is, Of course, the major factor In
creating new problems In adjust
