Lonely War Wife Carries
Increasing Heavy Burden
By RUTH MILLETT
If society were really interested
in seeing that marriages inter
rupted by the war stand as good
a chance as possible of pulling
through the period of post-war re
adjustment as much would be
done for the morale of service
wives as is done for their men.
The wife who is left to sit alone,
tied down by a child or two or
three, with no organized social life
open to her and no one to listen to
her problems, is the wife who is
going to find the going hard. She
must cope with the problems of a
returning service man who is ill
adjusted to fitting in with family
and civilian life.
Take a look for a minute at Mrs.
Brown (who happens to be a true
case and is typical of thousands
of service wives). Her husband
is a private in the army. She has
been left with three small chil
dren. the oldest only seven, to care
for and support on such a small
amount of money that haircuts for
the children at 60 cents each ar«
a real problem.
She has no car and she can’t
afford a baby sitter. So she never
gets out, except to go down town
once a week to run necessary er
rands. You can hardly call that
an outing, as she wralks several
blocks to and from the bus line,
two children tagging at her siHe
and one in her arms.
Does the community do anything
for Mrs. Brown? Absolutely noth
ing. There is no service to drive
her to town once a week, no par

ties to which she can go with care
provided for her children while
she is gone, no clubroom open to
her where she can for a few hours,
get away from the demands of her
family.
She is warm, and by careful
planning and skimping has
enough to eat. But she is tired
worried, lonely, boreu. Day after
day, week after week, month after
month, she is left alone with her
problems.
WIVES NEED HELP, TOO
Is she going to be able to smooth
out the troubles of the returnee
service man when he comes home
to her, unwilling to pick up his
family responsibilities at first, tim
id about going ahead with the jot
of earning a living? He may be
bitter, perhaps, because he has
lagged behind while the men whe
have stayed at home have beer
making money and getting ahead
If she is, she has superhumar
patience, ;act, understanding anc
an abundance of unselfish love
But If »he is as human as mos*
wive», «he is going to end up the
war as physically exhausted, as
bitter, and as poorly equipped tc
face the problems of starting life
anew with her husband as he is.
Yet all the help she is getting
today is the constant warning tha
she will have to guide her mar
through his period of readjustmen
to civilian life, and that whethei
or not her marriage stands the
strain is largely up to her.

Chapter Meets
The monthly business meeting
of Cape Fear chapter, United
Daughters of the Confederacy, met
in the ladies’ parlor of First Pres
byterian church, January 31 at
3:30 p. m., with Mrs. C.L. Bragg,
president, presiding The secre
tary being absent Mrs. A. T. St.
Amand was asked to take the
minutes. ,
After reading of the ritual, mem
bers pledged allegiance to the
flag of tho United States of Amen
ca and saluted the Confederate
flag. The president welcomed two
new members into the chapter,
both of whom were present for
the first time. A report was made
on the success of the Lee-Jackson
tea which was held January 17. A
report from the historian, Mrs.
Julius Rudolph, gave the informa
tion that eight speakers had been
supplied for schools for programs
on General Robert E. Lee and
General Stonewall J ackson. The
president announced for the radio
chairman that an address on Gen
eral Lee had been given and gave
notice of a radio program to be
given on Sidney Lanier, Monday,
February 5.
Mrs. S. G. Adams read an ar
ticle on Matthew Fontaine Maury
whose birthday was January 14.
Referring to the fact that Fontaine
received his first encouragement
for an education from a cobbler
who did arithmetical problems on
newly-soled shoes she said that he
decided that “God who ordered
the universe also produced order
in the universe.’’ Becoming in
terested in the thought that there
was some power which ruled the
waves and currents of the seas
and since there were no charts or
orderly currents to aid mariners;
he set himself the task of produc
ing order out of chaos as an aid
to sailing vessels of the day. Witt
the assistance of charts made bj
sailors as they sailed the sever
seas he succeeded in establishing
laws of currents which have proV'
ed a boon to vessels all over the
world.
Mrs. H. S. McGirt read resolu
tions on the death of Mrs. Bessie
Willard Damon of Rhode Island
a faithful member of the chaptei
over many years. The resolutior
follows:
As the year 1944 was draw
ing to a close. Cape Fear chap
ter No. 3, U. D. C., lost a high
ly valued member in the pass
ing of Mrs. Bessie Willard
Damon, who died at her home
in Kingsport. Rhode Island, on
November 25, 1944.
Mrs. Damon had a unique
record in the chapter. She was
/• -
a native of Wilmington but,
after her marriage many years
ago, she resided in New Eng
land, returning to her girlhood
home here only at rare inter
vals. But during all the years
of her married life she re
tained her love for the Confed
eracy and all things belonging
to it, and up to the time of her
death she kept her member
ship in Cape Fear chapter,
sending her dues regularly,
and whenever she happened to
be here, and was physically
able, she attended the meet
ings of the chapter.
She was active in all good
works and was beloved and
esteemed not only by the white
people of her city, but by the
colored people, in whose wel
fare she took deep interest.
Now she has crossed over
and "rests under the shade of
the trees,” and her memory,
will be cherished by Cape Fear
chapter. "Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord.”
