IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS

This is the season of the year when the man of the house
finds a thousand and one odd jobs demanding immediate at
tention. There's the garden. The lawn needs cutting. The
screens must be put on.
A comparatively simple job, putting on screens. Just
bring them up from the cellar, brush them off, and on they go:
-Four screws to a screen. Oh, yes, the screws. Where are they
In the bench drawer? Back of the screens? Has anyone seen
them? Seen what? The screen screws. Of course she hasn't.
And, says a voice from upstairs, if things were in their proper
place they'd be there when needed.
The situation finally requires a trip to the hardware store,
where it is discovered that screws aren't, so to speak, a dime
q dozen any more and there isn't the selection there used to be.
Yes, the hardwareman guessed he had enough odd sizes. The
man of the house, clutching his small parcel, suddenly redis-
covers that it is still the little things that count-lke the
nail in the shoe of the horse in the battle that couldn't be won
without it.
By the way, where are you going to hide those screws next
fall?-The Christian Science Monitor.

POSTWAR

Results of a questionable to wo-
men war workers in 16 states to
learn how many are planning to
keep on in industry after the war,
were revealed recently by the Post
war Planning committee of the
American Legion Auxiliary.
The questionnaires, prepared by
the committee chairman, Mrs. Lo-
rena Holm, of Omaha, Neb., were
sent to department chairmen in the
war production areas and taken to
women workers in the following
war employment fields: Taxi or
bus drivers, defense plant workers,
railroad workers, filling station at
tendents and delivery services. They
were asked four questions: Are
you married? Age of children?
Do you plan to work after the war?
What things might influence you
to change your mind about continu-
ing the work?
More than so per cent of the re-
plies showed the women anxious to
return to their homes when the
war ends and the men come home.
Of those who want to return home,
20 per cent stated their return de-
ponds on the ability Of their hus-
bands to find jobs, and 25 per cent
are eager to give up their jobs
providing husbands income is ade-
Of the forty-eight per cent who
to go on working, the chief
reasons given were "want to buy a
nome and pay for it," want to see
hat their children are educated"
want to stay off relief"

"After all, the census shows that
the chief occupation of women is
that of homemaking. The Ameri-
can Legion and Auxiliary are pledg-
ed to an employment program that
will provide jobs for all returning
soldiers. When these jobs are found
at a sufficiently high earning level
to permit comfortable living, the
women will do their share of home
making. The Auxiliary desired to
find out what the women them
