PAY PACKET CONFETTI
(Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, Dec. 19. Glasgow’s Govan Cross underground station on a Friday night looks like the scene of a series of weddings, according to the Lord Provost of Glasgow (Mrs Jean Roberts). “What looks like confetti on the platform is the result of husbands tearing up wage packets so that wives will not know what they are earning.” Mrs Roberts was presiding at the annual meeting of the Glasgow Savings Bank and she said the “average wife today is a good economist; she should be given more consideration by the man of the house.”
