„TUNDRA
By AUDREY HENDERSON
Walking down Front Street this
morning, someone tapped me on
the shoulder. I turned around
tp see who it was, and a long,
lgnkpr greptpd me with, "I
thought you went ‘outside’?"
><*'No, I didn’t go ‘Outside’, and
I haven't any ‘intentions' of going
anywhere,” I replied.
,.“I ean’i see why a lady like
j yourself would want to stay up
hejre in Alaska. For the life of
mf, I can’t see why. When you’re
^Outside’ you live again. Doesn’t
it "feel good to be alive again,”
Z said- .wj»!ithaki;-ciad' Wend."
^About this time I was becom
; Jng annoj*e^L . .\ALpplg hpret" I
-H. ‘1 do reel alive," very much
sp, in fact. I love Alaska and Hats
is my home, and I wouldn’t be
any happier in the States, be
cause this ja.TOyv£uture. YbO are
talking from the standpoint of
'• - being in the army, I’m not. And
•• I knov^thai you wan tito go‘back
home and find things as you left
Ahem. But it isn’t that way, and
* if you would <■ only search ■ ydvjr
heart a little closer, you will find
'«• that actually you wouldn’t want
it, that way.
»‘‘Sure, I know you can’t have
and do the things you want.
Every one has ambitions of some
sort, and now they are being
buried for the time being.
“What you really mean is that
you want those who stay home
to ‘keep the home fires burning
brightly’ so that when you do
come home you will find stab.lity
and safety, and a sense of value
in a war-torn world. You and I
both know that your mind is be
ing changed every day with new
ideas, new atmosphere and new
surroundings. Your friends you
left down there. Sure, they are
getting high wages, but don’t for
get the expenses, taxes, the high
cost and crowded living condi
tions. And all of this will tend
to change their attitude, too. And
so all of these changes will be
the basis for a new progressive
world for you, so that you can
return to a sane world.’ ’
“Yes, I know”, replied by G-I
friend worriedly. “I don’t care
so much about my friends, only
I wonder what all of this is do
ing to Mom and Pop and the kid
sister and brother,”
“Well, way down underneath’
nothing has changed in people,”
I weht on to say. “People are
the same century after century.
New inventions by the thousands
may take place all about us, but
man himself has changed very
little. Now, let’s think about
your mother. She, no doubt,' is*
helping in the Red Cross, and
she probably sells war bonds and
attends citizens’ meetings, but
you will also find that she still
goes to church, and she darns
socks, and stretches the budget
looking for new cooking recipes*
for meatless days. Now look at
Pop. Pop works hard as usual
all day at the factory, buys lots
of war bonds and is a member
of the Civilian Defense, but you
also will find that Pop still mows
the lawn and smokes his pipe
and wonders who the next presi
dent will be. And sister is prob
ably sorting out nuts and bolttf or
reading blue prints in some fac
tory and all of the time,.she, is
worrying abtpiij, her new home
and love and gathering all the
advice from M,om on,the.working
practicalities of a cook.bpok. And
brother is very bUsy as a mem
ber of an aeronautical club,
building model airplanes. All the
time he is very busy growing up
to be a man and waiting for the
day when his big brother will
come home.
‘'No, you won’t find things as
you left them. But Nom and Pop
and Sis and the little brother will
be in a better position to give you
something better. You will need
something solid to dig your feet
into to give you a ne>vstart. And
brother,^ you will get it. Isn’t
this what you mean by wanting
to go ‘Outside’? Isn’t this what
you mean by saying you want
to find wings at home as you
left them?”
‘tYe*—I guess that’s what I
mean,” agreed the khaki-clad
figure. A homesick G-I.

ONE DAY
There is aday
'That linger? in my heart,
A day in which you and flowers
: And sunshine are all a part,
jAnd I search my mind
For ways to make you see
How very, very much
That one day means to me.
But even the softest,
Sweetest words that I can choose,
Arranged w:th such care
And patience, seem to lose
That subtle eloquence
To tell you, Dear,
How that one day grows
Within me, year by year.
Flowers alone seem to
Have that master’s touch,
So delicate and quiet,
Yet saving so much ‘‘
Otf beauty and of sunshine '
And of lingering love,
Each sweet scented petal
Whispering my love. ».
