Tables Turned in War Work
Junior Helps Mummy No1V
By Betty Smith.

War work has certainly turnet
the tables in the home No longer
do mummy and daddy pour over
juniors and sisters homework for
coming exams or agonize over
whether they'll pass or not. Chances
are 10 to l, in the modern home
that mummy herself is taking one
of the many training classes to
prepare herself for some specialized
war work-and that junior and lit
tie sister are helping her with her
home work and agonizing over
whether she'll pass or not. What's
more, Junior and little sister, whose
sponge-ike youthful brains lap up
every detail without too much con-
centration, are pretty tough with
mummy's slower and less accus-
tomed-to-study mind. Mummy has
been out of school little too long
to be in very good studying condi-
ton. And woe betide mummy if
she doesn't pass that test!
A few days ago we were in class
of Red Cross Nurses Aides who had
just finishsed their three-week- and
a-half period of lectures and were
taking their final test before going
into training at the hospital. There
were some young girls and gooe
many mothers in the class. TIL,
young girls looked composed ane
sure of themselves, but several o.
