FAMILY BENEFIT
Sir, —I agree with your correspondent, “Grandma.” Since I started to draw the family benefit my husband has refused me any money at all. He pays the grocer and butcher and says that the family benefit is for the children’s clothes and that I get plenty. With this I have to buy any vegetables and fruit I can get for them—and for him—all bed linen, etc., and what I need for myself. How many, I often wonder, are in the same position?— Yours, etc.,
MOTHER OF FIVE. July 23, 1947.
