Men Do The Housework
(Special Crspdt. N.ZP.A.) LONDON, July 24. A steel town has overcome a shortage of home helps—by issuing men with dustpans and aprons. Four men in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, polish, wash, and scrub three nights a week for elderly men who cannot fend for themselves. One of the four, Ronald Brader, aged 36, said: "We’ve been welcomed with open arms. Besides doing normal household chores we often shave the old chaps and talk to them—sometimes we’re the only people they’ve got to talk to.”
