Since the National health insurance

summer washing day has treatebed to
move down the week from Monday to
anywhere this side of baking day,
which anybody who knows anything
knows is Saturday. The reason is
that the first employer of the week

Monday for your washday, you have
to pay threepence extra. A good
many employers have already shifted
to Tuesday in the hope that other
and more stubborn housekeepers will
stick to Monday and pay the three

Tuesday. there will be nothing for it
but Cor TIE economical to change
again to Wednesday, and to continue
changing until all the possibilities in
the case are exhausted. It is said that
