From where I sit :. by Joe Marsh
How Different Will be
Postwar Homes?

"It's the little things" says
Dan. "Like a well-WOrn chair
before the fire-and good book
and a friendly glass of beer
after a hard days work. Little
things, that are a part of living"
From where I sit, Dams abso-
lutely right. And I think the
men who dream of home from
overseas agree that it's the
small, familiar pleasures, that
add up to home.
