Title:

This woman, a refined and rather lovely grey-haired woman of two children and wife of a shipyard man, carries water for washing, has to dump waste water on the ground, because there are no sewers, uses a dirty outdoor privy kept that way by others - less fastidious. "We bathe in the washtub," she says. This family plans to stick it out, "because whenever we get to feeling sorry for ourselves, we think of what the soldiers are up against." But this viewpoint isn't too common.
