Comment On This and That

Why do ladies work nights?
Take the dpnartment of labor
Duuetin on ine
.subject and the
case called sso.
6. A 44 - year
old telephone
operator m At
lanta, married
with two
children,
works from 11
at night to 6
in the morning
six nights a
week.

around," she explained, "and be
sides, it is possible for our fam
ily to have breakfast, dinner and
evening together."
But do the ladies like this
night work? Some of them do,
most of them don't.
Many of those interviewed by
the women's bureau of the labor
department complained about
not being able to sleep daytimes.
I can sympathize with them.
I was on the all night shift
for a long time and I had a very
pad experience. It was in New
York. The old story about a cat
stamping its feet while walking
across a thick rug is no fable.
The termites boring through the
walls used to annoy me. So I
went to a real estate dealer and
said I wanted the most quiet
place in Jackson Heights. He had
just the spot a back apartment
five stories above the kid's play
yard. I signed a two-year lease.
Heard Blast
A month later around 2
o'clock one afternoon I was
cuddled in the feathers when all
of a sudden I heard the doggon
dest blast you ever heard. A mu

Statistics Addresses
Portland, Ore., Feb. 8 (U.R)
Portland's two daily newspapers
carried birth and death statistics
today without address listings be
cause a strict interpretation of
an Oregon law was applied.
Deane Huxtable, Oregon reg
istrar of vital statistics, said the
move was made as a "protection
to the public." A law passed by
the state legislature last July
makes no reference to listing ad
dresses in vital statistics.
Huxtable said publication of
addresses in vital statistics left
the way open to annoying calls
by salesmen. But one father re
torted: "I can't recall ever having
been bothered very much. As the
father of five children maybe
you could look upon me as the
voice of experience.
Toy-Laden Vessel
Sails For Rotterdam
Philadelphia, Feb. 8 (U.R)
The liner American Defender
sails for Rotterdam today to
bring toyland back to the chil
dren of Europe.
Its holds crammed with dolls,
wagons and other wonderful
gifts, the ship carries the first
installment of America's tlde-of-toys.
The initial shipment of 900,000
toys will be distzibutcd by CARE
representatives in the Nether
lands, Austria, Berlin and the
three zones of western Germany.
Additional millions of toys,
still flowing into the American
Legion toyland depot here, will
go later to gladden the hearts
of play-starved youngsters in
France, Italy, the British Isles,
Greece and Norway.
American Soldiers
Given Prison Terms
Tokyo, Japan, Feb. 8 (U.R)
Two American soldiers who as
saulted two Swedish diplomats
nnd others at a party here last
December 2 were handed long
prison terms by an army court
martial today.
j Pvt. Lawson R. Davis, 22, of
Lexington, N. C, was sentenced
to 10 vears and Pvt. Sanford E.
Shackleford, 19, of Newport,
Ky., to 5 years.
Davis and Shackleford were
charged with staging a near-riot
in a local restaurant after mem
bers of Scandinavian diplomatic
missions attending a party in the
restaurant took exception to
their remarks to women guests.

building across the alley.
The labor people interviewed
270 persons who work part or all
of the night. Of these, 148 were
women, the rest men.
Some of the ladies like the
night business, because they find
it more suitable to their "per
sonal needs and desires." Most
of these had no domestic respon
sibilities. One woman, with no
children, said her husband trav
eled and she was alone most of
the time.
LIIcm To Sleep Late
A counter girl in Atlanta said
that despite the fact she had
kids aged two, eight and 12, she
liked her shift because she liked
to "sleep late in the morning."
"My h u s b a n d," she said,
"works a day shift and he takes
care of the children in the even
ing." Several women working in ho
tels, bars and restaurants said
they got bigger tips at night.
One woman said she had been
working as a baker for the same
boss for six years on the night
shift. She said she didn't sleep
too well in the daytime, because
of the racket outside her bed
room window, "but I take great
pride in my work and you don't
bake in the daytime. I take great
pride in my pies." '
A 38-year-old cashier in a ho
tel restaurant was the most frank
of all those in the survey.
"I am divorced," she said, "and
live alone. I'm the kind of a gal
who gets lonesome.
