A MAN’S PARADISE?
Sir,—l cfs a housewife get terribly amused at the protests of different associations speaking in our name throughout the country. Did these women think that the baker, the candlestick-maker could have 40-hour weeks and higher wages and someone not pay for it somewhere? Look what we’ve got—our sons and husbands have leisure. Our daughters have benefited, temporarily; they, poor things, have not the intelligence to recognise that they are the mothers of the future—the unpaid ’’ slushies ” of New Zealand. The Housewives’ Association can keep on complaining. They should have recognised for the last 10 years this country has become a man’s paradise, and the mother’s hell.—l am. etc.. Housewife.
