His wife, May Emory, takes in washing, does the chores, takes care of the children and does other little sun dries around the house. Finally the "Work or Fight" ordinance is put into effect and Gribbon has to find a job. He lands plenty of them but is unable to hold any. Finally he and Harry Mann, who has also been exempted, after trying numerous times to enlist but being rejected on account of physical disability, secure employment in an overcrowded hotel. Here many things happen as there are not enough accommodations for the crowd and people are sleeping in the elevators, on the roof, etc. Finally, after many vain attempts, Harry Gribbon succeeds in getting into the U. S. Army. Written by Copyright Description from Library of Congress See less
