SAFETY TROUBLE
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (AP) -
There was quite chuckle when O.
B. Burch of Grand Junction, Colo,
got up to address a traffic safety
conference for young people.
The Colorado youngster was on

Burch hastily explained it was
sports, not traffic that broke his
leg.

They say, "Woman's work
is never done"-but here are
the facts on mems chores

his will come as a bombshell to the
ladies, but recent facts and figures indicate
that husbands are now working just about
as many hours as wives.
Most of the poor devils don't realize IT
themselves, because they have had it dnned
into them that MANS work lasts till set OF
sun: woman's work is never done" They
have also read about surveys that set
housewives work week at approximately 90
hours, and everyone knows that most men
today have 35-to-4O-hour jobs.
But | have just completed survey that
shows how much work the average Ameri-
can husband really does. It's plenty now
adays = mainly for two reasons:
1. The Great March to the Suburbs.
Young couples today yearn to own their
homes, and development building is max
ing it possible for them to do so.
2. The High Cost of Labor. Families
with moderate incomes can no longer afford
to hire much skilled help, SO hubby has TO
become his own plumber, painter, carpen-
ter, gardener and general factotum.
And if you wish TO say, Bah, that's fun,
not work." you're barking up the wrong
rose trellis. House and ground improve
ment is just as necessary as running up new
curtains and polishing the furniture. And
while man might get whale of kick out
of moving his brand-new lawn for the first
time, it becomes just plain hard work the

imagination Of his eght-year-od daughter Janet. He
