The trouble Is that everybody

enough to 60 around.
As q result of the dollar short
age, two countries-India and
Australia-are beginning to slow
down orders for japanese goods.
Yet Japan must export or die
or continue to live, as she does
today, as an economic ward Of the
United States.

be foolish to let those dollars
flow out Of Japan and be left
holding soft currency in exchange.
But the U. N. planners argue
that in the long run America will
find it cheaper to send dollars
into the backward countries Of
Asia-either by direct grant or
by way Of Japan-than to con-
tinue to support Japan. They
contend that Japan will not re-
cover until those countries do.

Occasionally you can borrow a

dren to look after, socks to darn
and linen to patch. The washing
was done in deep, unhealthy eel
lars and had to be dried in the
lofts high up under the roofs,
coal and wood had to be carried
and ashes and waste had to be
placed in the yard. Errands had
to be run and quite often the girl
had to sit up late waiting for the
man and wife to return in order
that she might 'unhook" the
Missus, etc.
The women who hired out for
morning work were not much bet
ter off-poor pay and much hard
toll. She had to clean the stoves,
carry fuel from the cellar or loft,
wash the floors and stairways,
both in front and in back. She Also
had to dc dish washing, sharpen
knives, shine copper ware and
polish windows as well as beat
carpets. 1t is impossible to enum-
crate the many labors a morning
worker had to perform for a few
crowns each month.
OF these working women l did
not see any at all this time.
Nobody wants to work as house
assistant nowadays. A housewife
may spend several hundred crowns
on advertisements about a good
position, fine room, no window
cleaning, no laundry work, CEN
tralized heat, carpet sweeper, a
lot of time off and 200 crowns or
more in monthly wages. No one
applies for such jobs!
But the work has to be done
and it is accomplished. No more
coffee in bed; the housewife has
to get up and chase on her bicycle
to the butcher and vegetable mar
ket, to the baker and the grocer.
With a big basket over the front
wheel she pushe through the
crowds and climbs her own stairs
until finally she can sit down to
her own morning coffee and fresh
bread well earned
Then she is busy with several
telephone numbers she knows.

HELP WANTED

One of the greatest problems of
today is how to get household
help and how to keep the servants
happy and contented so they stay
more than one week. The news
papers contain lots of advertise
ments for housekeepers, maids,
cooks, etc, and the employment
agencies are frantically trying to
fill vacancies in homes. The ones
who are willing to do housework
for others can earn a fortune in
a few years, if they know how to
save their hard earned money,
that is.
The servant problem is not only
a problem for the U. S. A. - In
Sweden are $4,000 household jobs
open in spite of the fact that no
less than $500 girls have been
imported from foreign countries
to work in homes. In each case,
the foreigners past is examined
and if there is any suspicion that
her political views are of the I'M
desirable kind, she is not admitted
into the country. Wages are very
high, but somehow-as is the case
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1949-01-01

in this country-those who really
are able and willing to work hard,
can earn more money in other oc
equations, and have the advantage
of living in their own homes.
The situation is the same in
Denmark, and we were greatly en-
ightened some time ago, as we
read an article on the servant
problem in Denmark by Dagmar
Wiggers in the publication Mid
west Scandinavian. Mrs. Wiggers
who in the last paragraph of the
article terms herself "a hard
boiled democrat and a defender of
plain folks" spent a few months
in Denmark last summer and had
an excellent opportunity to look
into the question of household help,
social progress, etc. We quote
the interesting article in part:
A great change has taken place
during the twenty-five years I've
been away from Denmark. Before
that time We had beggars and
people clad in filthy rags living in
miserable tenements.
If you sat in the Hotel d'Angle-
terre in Copenhagen, forlorn chill
dren, old women in rags and men
thinly clad and with a mean CLEAN
in their eyes would stretch out
their begging hands at us. They
were of course chased away by the
walters, but they soon returned.
But today, there are no beggars.
If today che walks through work.
ing peoples neighborhoods one
sees decently dressed people and
happy children. Everywhere old
/ houses have been torn down to
make room for some breathing
space where the workers children
may find Fairgrounds with sand
piles, swings and teeterS. Even
on one of the main thoroughfares
near the church of the Holy Spirit
in Copenhagen corner of the
church premises has been made
into playground for children
and 1t looks lovely beneath the old
linden trees.
Hired girls-or, as they now are
called, house assistants, are almost
a saga. Heaven knows they were
not treated too we'll in the olden
days. The pay was miserable and
conditions were of a nature MAX
ing it almost impossible to believe
that decent people could have the
heart to offer them to hired girls.
The rooms were poor-if one could
call that hole underneath the stairs
a room at all. The girls had to
be up early in order to serve cof-
fee in bed to the family and there
upon it was continued trot all
day long. Often there was chill

strange-could not she move the

house and very distinguished house
there was a main building and
several buildings behind - thus
there were a number of mats all
the way up to fourth story. I

cient strength and I could realize

IF you give the devil the little fin
ger he will soon take the entire
hand. And if help you today I
will be moving flower pots for
the rest of my life. No, thank
you"
This does not interfere with the
general amity; the window cleaner
gets his coffee and good cigar
and tells effusively about his Win
dows here and there in some of the
best homes in the city.
A lady friend of mine in large
villa in Hillerod has a young girl
friend four days a week from 8 in
the morning til noon and it works
fine. The young lady has her GER
tain work on each day, then she
joins at lunch and disappears. The
housewife leaves the dishes from
lunch stand til the following
morning and thus the young lady
earns good wage. The rest of
the "a hours is at her own dis
posal; things are reversed nova
Gays. In olden days she had to
toll all around the clock with little
time for sleep and only half day
off every two weeks or free eve
ming now and then.
Perhaps things are not ideal,
and adefender ofwhat we termed
plain folks in the olden days. I
am glad that they now have been
able to lift themselves to freedom
and independence.

BOSTON. June 1.-THE lowly
Chicago Cubs pounded Vernon
Bickford for II Of their IS hits
to break his five-garne winning
streak today with a s-2 decision
over the Boston Braves.
Although he needed some help
from Emil Kush In the ninth.
Walt Duhiel gained his third win

The Cubs clinched matters in
the seventh by scoring thrice on

Griffith Scotches
Rumor That Ortiz
Won't Be Back

A report that Outfielder Rob-
erto Ortiz does not want to re-
turn to the Washington Nation
ais was branded untrue last
night by Clark Griffith, presi-
dent of the club.
Ortiz Is one Of the group Of
players who jumped their con-
tracts with organized baseball
in this country to join teams in
the Inflated Mexican League
and who were reinstated last
week by Commissioner Happy
Chandler. He is playing with
the Maracaibo Club in Vene-
Zuela.
II had a long letter from him
today" Griffith said, land he
can't get a release from his con-
tract. But it only runs to July
% and he plans to join us as
soon as it expires. There's no
truth to any stories that ne
doesn't want to play here"
The Associated Press carried
q story from Caracas yesterday
quoting the newspaper "El
Nacional" as saying Ortiz did
not want to return to Washing
ton. The newspaper said the
Cuban would have to pay the
owner Of the Maracaibo club
$4,000 to get out Of his con-
tract with that club. The real
reason for Ortiz's reluctance to
return to Washington, the paper
said, Is that Ortiz likes what
he's making In Venezula and
has q good contract to play in
Havana after the inter-Amer-
ican series in Caracas.
