The worst of the big wind

a chance they had to lake.
Concerned, too, are the peo

Seminolcs who, like the les

They make few preparations
for the storm s arrival, but
they Hre conscious of its com

They would look frequent

They would scarcely be ap

with wind direction and near

Washington - IIIPli - What
do working wives do about
getting their own household
duties done?
This is one of the questions
the Agriculture Department is
seeking answers to in its
studies of job related expen
ditures and management prac
tices of working wives, it
found some of the answers
In two urban studies - one
in Jour Georgia cities and the
other in one city in Ohio. The
studies were conducted by
the agency's consumer and
food economies research di
vision. Four Kinds of Tasks
The women who took part
In the studies reported on
their use during a year of
paid help for four kinds of
household tasks: laundry
work, general housework,
child care and sewing.
Laundry work included
washing andor ironing done
by paid workers in the home,
as well as that sent out to
a laundress or commercial
laundry. Child care included
care at home andor away,
except nursing care, institu
tional care and special train
ing. The paid services reported
by individual women varied
from a few hours or days to
year-round service, costing
from a few dollars to several
hundred a year.
Here are some of the find
ings from the Georgia and
Ohio surveys:
Employed wives used
more paid services for house
hold tasks than the non-employed
wives, bo;h in Georgia
and Ohio.
The women who were
most likely to use paid serv
ices, and who spent the most
for it were the gainfully em
ployed wives who were moth
ers of pre-school children.
The Georgia wives, em
ployed and non-employed,
used more paid service than
Ohio wives. Moreover, these
wives spent more for help
than their Ohio counterparts
with one exception the
employed mothers of pre
school children, who spent
slightly less.
In families made up en
tirely of adults or with old
er children only (6 to 7
years) even the full time
homemakers in Georgia were
more likely to have some paid
help than the job - holding
wives of Ohio.
Having a job increased
the percentage of wives using
paid help for homemaking
tasks relatively more in
Ohio than in Georgia. In Ohio
the proportion reporting help
was about two thirds high
er for employed than for
non-employed wives in two
types of families and four-
fifths higher in one type. In
Georgia it was about one
fourth higher in two types
of families, one third high
er in the other.
More Georgia than Ohio
families used "household
help" (workers who go to
the employer's home to per
form duties). Women willing
to hire out as household work
ers are more plentiful in the
Georgia cities than in Ohio
and southern homemakers
are more accustomed to this
kind of help. Many of the
employed mothers who hired
a person to come to tile home
to care for children enjoyed
the added advantage of re
ceiving other services from
the same worker.
In the employed wife
families with pre - school chil
dren, three out of 10 in Ohio
and four out of 10 in Georgia
provided some paid care away
from home for the youngsters.
The non - employed wife fam
ilies with pre - school children
made little use of away from
home care.
In general, away - from
home laundry services were
used more than at-home serv
ice. More employed wives re
ported paid help for laundry
work than for general house
work or sewing. This was true
in both states.
