Father of Quads Needs Higher Wages
Charles Good, father of the Bristol quads, has Riven up his job as a farm stockman and started cutting hedges for local farmers. It is the only way he can earn enough money to keep the family To his home In Westerleigh, Gloucestershire, he had been bringing his wage packet of £s—knowing it would no* cover the expenses of the quads, , four-year-old Susan, two nurses, his wife, and himself. Every week Mrs Good had struggled to balance the budget—" but it never did balance,” she said. On Friday nights the Goods put aside the rent for their double council house and money for groceries and bread. “ That left me 45,” said Mrs Good, “ and that’s not enough to buy soap when there are four lots of nappies to be washed.” The £1 a week children’s allowance has been invested in an educational insurance policy for the quads by their father.
