Survey Shows Dishwashing
Considered Woman's Work
Br MARY PRIME
United Press International
New York (LTD American
husbands aren't so tied to the
little woman's apron strings
after all. 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.

Said many women, "dish
washing is woman's work."
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!

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."

A cedar log cabin, measur

porch and lookout tower, for
$563. Vesey said eight already

A child-sized Thunderbird,

off-white monkey, who sits

Veysey assured me there
