They Haue Returned
BY DON WHITEHEAD

LONDON "a touching drama
of American family life trying to
find comfortable and happy place
il a land strange and at times
even bit hostile is being enacted
To-day throughout England.
It's a struggle that sometimes
is sad, sometimes inspiring, and
often comical - involving more
than 10000 military men and some
$4,000 women and children who
followed their menfolk to this is.
land.
In some ways, the problems Of
the $1,000 are more acute than
those of the two million Americans
who waited here 10 years ago for
the beginning of the great invasion
of Europe.
Today the American and his
family are thrown into more init.
mate association with the British
townspeople. Sadly, there is not
the same singleness of purpose and
spirit of forebearance that helped
oil the friction points in 1914.
The situation is depicted fairly
accurately (although with exag-
geration, of course) in a cartoon
showing a frosty, tweedy English
man and his wife glazing at a
startled American airman, and
saying:
"What are YOU doing back
here?"
Officially, the British and Ameri-
cans are working together in a
hard-jawed determination to "get
along" There's a sort of Were
going to like you, dammit, even
if it kills us" air about the whole
thing.
They are trying to bridge the
gap with dances, social clubs, teas,
garden parties, sports contests,
tours, and Lets open our home

AS a result, many Americans are
finding life exciting and satisfac-
tory in Britain - so much so some
are asking for an extension of ser.
vice. They have made warm
friends, entered into the British
social life and managed to over
look a good many of the irritants.
Others have found the going
more difficult. They are unable to
adjust to the British way of life.
They are dissatisfied with houses
that have outmoded kitchens and
no central heating. They can't un-
derstand the British aloofness and
deep sense of privacy. Some com.
plain of rent gouging and living
costs.
An American sergeant said: 81
guess it's no different with the
British than it would be with us
if the British swarmed in on one Of
our towns back home. There'd be
the same problems"
On the British side, the English
frequently resent the efforts Of
Americans to be ''liked" and their
generosity 0ftentimes is mistaken
as condescension or interpreted
as having an Interior motive.
In one case, young American

British housewife next door. She

Dance For April 24th

Buffalo, N. Y. The pin

Memorial Bowling League,

wait to close the book on the
Lenten season and kick up
their heels on Saturday, April

scheduled for staging at the
Croatian Hall.
Although we enjoy a shin
dig as well as the next guy,
we have an ulterior motive
for staging this funfest, and
that is to fatten our treasury
so that we may trek out to
the annual Tenpin Bowling
Tournament in Detroit, comes
May.
Another command perfor-
nance of the Biser Tamburit-
zans of Conway, Pa, is in the
offing at this funfest and we
are really looking forward to
seeing these modern trouba-
dours in action again.
Incidentally, our Valen-
tines Day dance at which
these self-same artists held
sway, was highly successful
and a gayer crowd was never
assembled than the one jam
ming our "dugout" to the
rafters on that occasion.
We're happy to state that
four bowling teams are slated
to ride the rails to the beauti-
full metropolis of Detroit for
the tournament in just a few
short weeks, 80 we're de-
pending on our members and
friends from neighboring To-

dance a resounding success.
