America, Here I Am!
A Soldier's Bride Surveys Her Husband's Native Land

By a GI Bride
Written Exclusively for (#*) News

(Editor's Note: The following ar
ticle was written by one of the
thousands of British brides arriv
ing in the United States to join
their GI husbands. The writer,
who prefers to remain ananymous,
is 19 years old, comes from Man
chester, England, and has been in
America one week.
AMERICA! I've been here a
week. I feel like a little urchin
who's been led into a magnificent
toy store and told to play with
whatever he likes. I bounce
around helplessly in my excite
ment.
People warned me that I would
not be comfortable in America,
that I wasn’t wanted, that the girls
here would be antagonistic. I
think that’s unfair. Everyone I’ve
met has been wonderful. Of course
they mimic my English accent,
they laugh over some of my ex
pressions, but I can say “Toity
toid stritt” and "Yiz’ll hafta getcha
self sumtin ta eat” right back at
them! I guess British have always
been good at defense!
I met Americans for the first
time five years ago in Lancashire,
when the Yanks moved in and be
gan to take over sections with a
capability and possessiveness that
dismayed us. I found they were
kind and brusquely thoughtful. I
learned that they had courage and
a subborn doggedness.
Perhaps I’m luckier than some
of the foreign brides who’!! come

isn’t perfect, that he speaks of de
mocracy but modifies his bold
words unconsciously. Yet there’s
no people like you. You practice
a freedom which we can’t ap

delivers your groceries will stand
and argue the merits of your price
control office, your housing short
ages, and the strikes. During the

i about the “little Cockney hack
I man" who said this or that when
the bomb failed to explode ten
yards away, but it’s different here
somehow. Maybe it’s because you
are friendly without a war.
You have so much here! Your
stores are crowded with things I
never saw, and when a clerk tells
me “I’m sorry, but we have no
stockings,” I want to laugh with
joy. Who cares about stockings!
I’ve bought real high-heeled shoes,
and I had my choice of dozens of
pairs! I have a dress that I pur
chased from a rack full of them,
without the bother of having to
hoard coupons for material and
inveigle a tailor into making it.
I’ve drunk milk, glass after glass
of it, and eaten steaks, chops, ba
nanas, eggs, strawberries, and
canned fruit juices. Why would a
shortage of stockings bother ME?
One thing, though. I miss my
tea, and I hate your coffee- I'm
getting fat from drinking milk all
the time, but I have no choice.
I like your “funnies” and I en

understand how you can stand to
have your body’s cleanliness ques
tioned musically while whiling

I marvel at your home and
family life. In England the affec
t on is stiff, seemingly withdrawn,
but somehow rather obvious.
Here, a man will come roaring
into his brothers’ house, insult his
1 sister-in-law heartily, knock the
cooking, laugh at their recent
business success, and criticize
their decorating. Yet, though it
took me a while to get used to it,
I’ve come to realize that to the
American an insult is a form of
flattery, and there’s a deep love
and understanding behind every
wisecrack. I like it this way!
j We’ve seen American movies in
England, for they outnumber our
British films. Your prices are
much cheaper than ours, though,
and the cinemas more gaudy. And
the restaurants! They look as
though they were taken from a
film themselves. Now what I must
do is look at a Good Humor man
and find out why people laugh
when Bob Hope talks about them.
Above all. I'm thrilled at the
prospect of raising children in a
land like this. At home, I had
either to earn a scholarship or
have loads of money to attend
school after the age of fourteen.
Here you have your public high
schools, your State colleges, and
every educational chance a child
should have. My kids will never

Another step in the hunt for a
weapon against tuberculosis is de
scribed today in Science, official
journal of the American Associa

Doctors Isadore E. Gerber and
Milton Gross of the Hudson Coun

City report that a mold-derived
substance they called “mycooidin”
had rendered active tuberculosis
germs, taken from human beings,
powerless to produce the disease
in guinea pigs.
The doctors offered no state
ments as to any possibilities of
using the substance in the treat
ment of tuberculosis in human be
ings. They said they still are
working toward isolating and pur
ifying the “active principle.”
