The Town
.
photographs by Arthur Siegel. in: Woman's Day, p.8,
Nov'42. [the effects of war on a typical small American community (Mt.
Carmel IL)]. (2,024 words). *
Just an American town. Howard Fast, who wrote "The
Town" (pages 8-9), is the author of "The Unvanquished." It is
a study of the Revolutionary War and is perhaps one of the
most moving portrayals of the American people we have ever
seen. It was because of the warmth of understanding we felt
that we asked Mr. Fast to write about an American town at
war. Not an outstanding town, not a town bound, by its locality
or its industry, to know the war; just a town which is one of the
vertebrae in the backbone of our country. It gave us a feeling of
new confidence to read what he found, the intangible in the
war effort which is the measure of its success...

A Quiet Man
.
painting of George Washington by Bobri. in:
Woman's Day, February, 1943 p 16. (2,419 words). *
HE was a very lonely man, and he learned early in life that it
would not be easy for him; as a boy, he was too big, as a
young man, he had already taken to the habit of silence. He
grew quickly and inconsiderately, and when he was sixteen he
already stooped to hide his very considerable size. There was
nothing he could do to hide his huge hands and feet.
He took to the habit of silence, because it seemed to him
that nothing he said was particularly clever, and when he fell
in love with a girl, his conviction that she did not love him
kept him from pushing the matter any further. The girl he
loved married his best friend, and he was not the sort of
person who could easily switch his affections from one
woman to another. So he went on, year after year, loving a
woman who was the wife of a man he respected a great deal. The
woman, who knew of his love, wondered all her life why he
had kept it so deep inside of him...

Everybody Works

illustrations by Roy Pinney and Frederick
Lewis. in: Woman's Day, p.16-, Nov'43. [What is the WAR Doing to
Us?]. (3,622 words). *
THIS town sits in a valley, ringed with green hills, and the
houses crowd the narrow streets. Inside, it's a mill town, like
so many other New England mill towns - and ten yards past its
streets the country is as green and undisturbed as it was
centuries ago.
Northern, Massachusetts; population about twenty-three
thousand. They tell you its air is cleaner than that of most mill
towns because it sits in the hills, a good height above sea
level. They tell you too that the population has not increased
any with the war, as is the case with the big defense centers in
Connecticut and Rhode Island. This mill town isn't unique in
that; a thousand other towns in America were left alone by the
war in a population sense, so that the changes which came,
came from within them...

The People Always
.
in: New Masses, p.21-23, Nov 16'43. [text of
talk given at meeting of Anglo-American Soviet Coalition]. (1,353
words). *
This war can be won on the battlefield, yet lost here in
America; but if we win here in America, this war cannot be
lost on the battlefield. I know as well as anybody how hard it
is to fight outside of a uniform. There's little reward and no
glory--yet I know that the fight here at home is as important
as, and in a sense more important than the campaigns in Italy
and the southern Pacific.
The very nature of this war, a people's war, makes that a
truism. This is not the first people's war America has fought.
The American Revolution was a people's war, and the Civil War
was too; and in both those wars, as I propose to show you,
decisive actions were fought on the home front as well as on
the battlefield. And in some cases, a battle was decided many
miles from the sound of the guns...

Konstantin Simonov's Short Stories
.
in: Soviet Russia Today, March
1944, p.31. (493 words).
THERE is a tale in this book of a group of scouts who make a
night foray behind the German lines. The time is winter, the scene
somewhere near the Barents Sea. A patrol craft carries these
scouts across a bay, and because of the awful cold, it is necessary
that they should not get wet in the landing. So one by one they
are carried ashore by the sailors, hard, desperate fighters cradled
in strong arms like children. And by a word or two, Simonov
