Some work in Home Serv ice while others do other types of work as platoon work, yard work and farm work. An average, of about 65 girls are in Home Service each Saturday. These girls have three types of cards. Beginners earn 40c per hour until they have completed a certain, number of hours,- of.Nsuccessful work. They then are raised to a 50c per hour card and then to a 05c card. Girls use the money to pay for their Homemaking projects and other things they need. Since August 31 there have been 483 jobs and through October 12 the girls had earned a total of $2,078.83. Saturday Home Service is a privilege. Mrs. Hauser, super visor of Home Service, makes some suggestions for the Home Service Worker: 1. Return your work card as you return from work. 2. Be sure to save money for your bus fare each week. 3. In cold weather wear a warm jacket or coat. 4. Dress properly for work. 5. Give your employer yourbest effort and follow her instructions. 6. Always be on time. ft Be sure -to have a substitute for your detail and pay her. Alice G.
