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.
