GIRLS AND FARM WORK
Sir,—ln reply, “Not Kidded" says these girls are great companions for mothers, alludes to a “grudge," and gives a rhapsody on these girls “having to associate with less delicate company,” etc. All of which is not an answer in any way to my first letter, being narrow-minded and apart from the subject. Now “Wide Awake” has grasped the subject perfectly and answered in an understanding and brainy manner. A “W.D.F.U. Member’s” letter, shows lack of brains and understanding. “Wide Awake Shepherdess” has also failed to grasp the meaning of my letter, inwhich I wrote “By all means leave the ‘workers’ on the farms; which includes shepherding; that is to say, not just going for a ride or walk on a sunny day, around the sheep; once now and again to bluff the Appeal Board.’’—yours, etc., TIME THEY WOKE UP.
