SHORTAGE OF DOMESTIC HELP
Sir,—l would like to ask “Elderly Susan” if she is from the old schoolworking a girl from 6 a.m. till 7 p.m. Girls have had enough of those long hours. If you go by the day you get Is 3d an hour, and in four hours you are expected to do eight hours’ work. I. for one. would not go to housework. You are lucky if you get a cud of tea and a lettuce leaf for lunch. Fish and chips would be welcome.—Yours, etc., NO HOUSEWORK FOR ME. August 3, 1944.
