TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thundsy. April 23, 1957 Many Working Women Declare They Would Rather Stay Home Gay Pauley By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York U.R) The num ber of wives holding jobs out side the home is at a new high. But one study released today indicates many of them would rather stay home, "I want to stay home, eat bonbons and watch TV, was the way. one woman stated her preference. Only last week end, the U.S. Census Bureau reported more and more women are going to work to help their husbands meet the increased cost of liv ing that the number of work ing wives increased by five million between April 1947 and March, 1937, to a record 12 million, 300-thousand. Hard on the heels of the gov ernment report comes one from the Young Women's Christian association, showing that mar riage and family is the status most American women prefer. This was the majority answer from 8,000 women, 12 years of age and older, to a question naire the YWCA sent its mem bers as part of its 102nd anni versary celebration. The organization asked opin ion on jobs, marriage, children, whether the women were happy "as is," and what preparation they might have had for a fuller life. Plenty of Answers Of the answers which came in from 29 states, 3,258 homemak erg said they did not hold out side jobs. Some 2,500 did. And, another 1,655 most of them single and in the 12 to 18-year-old group were still in school. More than half the 8,000 were married, and most of them had children. Sixty eight per cent of the total said "yes" to the basic question: "Are you satisfied with your present role as a woman in today's world?" But when the questionnaire gave the unhappy ones a chance to list their preferences, that reluctance to work showed. In the 12 to 18 group, 248 said they wanted marriage, fam ily and no outside job. Only 81 wanted work as part of their future. "I am a woman and feel that is my vocation," said one teen ager. The Simple Things Said another: "I'd like to be married to a millionaire." The YMCA said that the 19 to 35 age group "also went in favor of marriage and children without employment." Only 216 said they'd like an outside job. "Woman's life is a dog's life. Slavery . . . slavery . . . slavery," said one woman. "I'd settle for one boss a husband," said another. Most of the 3,500 women in the over-35 group said they were quite happy with their present life. But of the malcon tents, 290 said they wanted fam ily and no outside job. Another 42 thought a job should go along with the home and mar riage. JAy favorite comment in the study came in the "Wish I Had Had More Preparation For Life" department. Said one young lady: "I wish my mother had told me how to catch a man." 'Round the Clock!
