EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE
GAINS
Each Saturday many students go
to work. 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.
