MARRIED FARM WORKERS
Sir, —The key to the troubles of your correspondent “Fed Up” is contained in his revealed attitude to damage or depredations by his children to other people’s property. The remedy is with himself. Unless or until he and other parents teach their children to respect other peole’s property (and their own), that rara avis, the parent who doet train his (or her) children, will continue to suffer with those- whose attitude is as that of “Fed Up.”—Yours, etc., R.R.M. September 26, 1947. -x Sir, —I agree with “Fed Up” that childless married couples get the jobs on farms. In other walks of life they seem to have the best of it without any responsibilities. They are encouraged in their greed and selfishness by people who, are the first to condemn birth control. A childless married woman will .often be prefer-' red to a widow with a child, even if the child is of school age. “Fed Up” has my sympathy—Yours, etc., FAIR DEAL.
