Practically all of the Auxiliaries are carrying on some type of work with soldiers. These contacts are very interesting, but it must be remembered that the homely, shy, unattractive boys in uniform are probably more lonely and homesick than the boys you might choose from a group to entertain or have in your home. Our program for the soldier must constantly be changed or dropped altogether if the need no longer exists, but never discontinued because the work is hard and first enthusiasm has wanted. We cannot be too critical of what the boys in uniform do unless we have done everything within our power to substitute good, wholesome entertainment and surroundings for evil influences that are always on the alert.
