HOUSEWIVES PROTEST
At the monthly meeting of the New Zealand Housewives' Association in the Farmers' board room, the president, Mrs. J. B. Lush, presided. She spoke of the present position, as exemplified by the milk roundsmen and the bakers' drivers, whereby a small group of men were imposing their will in an attitude of selfishness upon thousands of Auckland housewives.
While it was quite possible to get women drivers to man the lorries to carry bread and deliver milk, it was considered that this would be only pandering the men. They must be led to understand that if the job was theirs, they must do it. It was decided to take further action in protest against the milk roundsmen's demand for front-gate delivery and the decision of the bakers' drivers to take to themselves an extra holiday at Christmas and New Year, regardless of the community.
