Not when it comes to doing dishes. A survey shows that we women get the dishpan hands in the family. What's more, we seem content to let the men throw in the towel and retire to the evening paper. A detergent manufacturer -Procter & Gamble recent ly surveyed women in major cities in,, the United States. The firm. wanted to know who would use a product it plan ned to introduce. About 36 per cent of women interviewed said men should not do dishes.

Others felt that if a wife does not work outside the home, she has plenty of time for such household chores. Many wives felt their husbands should be able to relax at home, that they have enough work to do at the office. One wife commented, "Men look silly doing dishes." Most of the other women questioned believe men should help out only on occa sions, and then just to dry the dishes. But 20 per cent of the ladies thought the men should slave over a hot dishpan. A few women said husbands should do dishes regularly if their wives held a full-time job out side the home. In about half the families surveyed, dad helps with the task occasionally. The hus bands who do pitch in do so willingly. Or so the women said. Of husbands who help, about 80 per cent do a good job, their wives reported, and some women admitted that hubby was better. The man of the house fares better when he has children. The women were unanimous in the belief that both boys and girls should help with the dishes. Most mothers start youngsters drying dishes at seven years or younger. "As soon as they can hold a dish towel," said the woman. it's a SHIRLEY TEMPLE dress and has it!

SP 3-3943 No Santa Claus On Hand By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -(DPD- The ' na tion's best-known ' toy store has no Santa Claus! ; This came as quite a shock to me; I expected Santa with his "ho, ho, ho" and "what do you want for Christmas son ny" to be as traditional with FA.O. Schwarz as its cater ing to the carriage trade. "We don't have a Santa be cause we don't believe any one can imitate the old gen tleman," said Charles Veysey, executive vice-president of the 96-y e a r-old company. "Santas after all are to at tract children, and we don't need to do that." "One year," he added, "someone dreamed up the idea we should have some tel ephone Santas; let the. chil dren call and at least talk. The result was pandemonium. Our switchboard was jam med. Businessmen complain ed they couldn't get a call home to their wives to tell 'em what train they'd be on. We gave this up in a hurry."
