11011f WILL THEY
SETTLE DOWN?
Canadian servicement are now com-
ing back from the front as heroes,
rejoicing to be home again. But how
will they settle down? Will it be
hard for them to take up the threads
of normal living as citizens, husbands
and fathers?
Most people agree that settling down
will not be easy. Appreciation of the
strain on personal and social relations
which overseas service entails is much .
greater among the better educated
than among those who have only been
to. public school. Then, too, the men
will probably be restless, craving ex-
citement, and above all it will be hard
for them to stay on the farm where
life will be too quiet after all the travel
and excitement overseas. Yet it is
hoped that this restlessness may be
channelled into new and productive
activity. The marked contrast be-
tween military and civil life also will
entail difficulties. It will be strange
and hard for them to be "on their
own" again. Some will be suffering
from disabilities either physical or
mental. Jobs will be scarce and the
men will not be trained for the ones
there are,
All this suggests very 'forcibly that.
over and beyond provisions for medical
care, gratuities, vocational training,
etc., there will be need for sympathetic
and imaginative community action, de-
signed after the first flush of welcome.
to make men feel they belong to a
country that had been worth defending
and in whose life they share.
