THE WARTIME FAMILY.
W.B.K.*e opinion that it Is inopportune to have babies during wartime k one far too widely held, but by how many women who already nave children? My own experience of service wires, particularly naval wives (being one myself), is that those who have children, are far less likely to get the jitters than those who haven't. They have got to carry on their homes as in peacetime. That is to their own good, as well as being the finest war work it k in their power to do—that of carrying on the life ofthe nation. That we are going to win this war no British man or woman worthy of the name can doubt, but how are we going to keep the peace, if a dwindling population in every British country tempts another Hitler to try his hand at world domination again? Let us ask ourselves: Are we really thinking of the welfare of our unborn children when we deny them life—or are we thinking of ourselves? D.CJL
