In discussing the abuse Of the
sick leave, Mrs. votaw admits that
while women are more often absent
from work, they are more often
honest about their reasons than
men. Girls occasionally go shopping.
but men go to the races and the
baseball games instead Of coddling
headaches. That IL, while there is
certain amount of abuse by the
women. there is more by the men,
she explains.
