HOLIDAYS WITH PAY
HOUSEWIVES IN SWEDEN The Swedish Government has appointed a committee to look into the question of the provision of holidays with pay for housewives, states a London journal. Since 1938 a fortnight’s annual holiday with pay has been provided for by law for most wage-earners, and in 1939 the Government took a further step by paying half the fares and making some allowance toward board .for 2000 housewives who spent ten days _at some of the Folk High Schools during the holidays. . Private organisations, including women’s clubs and even provincial newspapers, have been arranging such holidays with allowances for housewives for several years past, and the Swedish Government is now to consider taking over these schemes and carrying them out more thorougnly.
