LINDEN HOUSEWIVES URGED
TO STOP BENDING AT WORK

There are hundreds of women in
the Lynden district who are bending
over their work from three to six
hours each day. The average house
wife bends over the work table to
prepare the meals and bends over the
ironing board to smooth out the fam
lily wash. All this bending requires
more energy than standing straight
and at ease, states Miss M. Minerva
Lawrence, extension home manage
ment demonstration of the State Col
lege
If each woman could have the
right working surface it would save
many a pain and conserve her en-
ergy. Some measurements for
working surfaces have been worked
out. which may be used as guide.
A woman 4 feet 10 inches in height
requires a working surface 30A inch
es high; five feet high, 81 "a inches
high; feet inches, should have
have her sink or table 33 " inches
high; 5 feet 7 inches needs a work.
ing surface 35 inches high, while the
woman feet 10 inches, requires a
81 inch high surface.
The working surface of a sink is
determined by the nature of the
work. Washing dishes and the pre-
paration of vegetables are the two
most important tasks around the
sink. The working surface in case
of dish washing, is just below the
surface of the water in which the
dishes are being washed, while pre-
pairing vegetables the greater part of
the work is done just above the pan
of water.
One housewife, who experimental,
found her working surface to be just
about six inches below her elbows
when standing straight with her
arms held straight out in front of
her. Each housewife must determine
the exact height, and If she will do
this and have the working surface of
her sink, table and ironing board at
the proper height, many aches and
pains will be avoided.
