Women’s news and viewpoint By RUTH DOHERTY The economy today demands that there be a pool of tractible easily trained, intelligent labor which can be called on when needed and dropped without dis- ruption when the need had passed, Women are ideally suited to this purpose, having acquired a con- siderable degree of dexterity in dealing with various household tasks, The married woman is usual- ly only too happy to supplement the family income if the oppor- tunity offers, A good many are even bored with the solitude of home and welcome a job which brings her into contact with someone to talk to, Department and chain stores are happy to oblige by providing work on a part time basis, hav- ing large numbers of women on call. By working a six-hour day, no time need be wasted on lunch hours and rest periods—one 20- minute break is all the law re- quires, When the work peters out, it’s no major tragedy; the linen sup- ply, etc., has been replenished and some of the most pressing debts paid, Propaganda as a rule follows the ups and downs—when thereis an expanding economy, along come the books and magazine articles lauding the working woman; when things slacken off and unemployment becomes a . problem, the appropriate stories and articles appear, The long term trend, however, ‘The Mercenary’ When all else fails They call him in, The trademark of disgrace: He is the scum that kills for cash, He cares not where the place, But when he is hired The whole world sees Masks fall from his master’s face. —by John Hope SEASON'S GREETINGS to all our Friends and Customers from Home Fancy § Sausage Complete Line of Scandinavian Imports coon | Have Santa Visit Your Home % FOR AN 8’’x10’?

The sooner social workers and child psychologists turn their attention to solving the problem of child care under the conditions as they exist instead of deploring the neglected children of working mothers, the better, * * * White Collar, organ of the Of- fice Workers’ Union, claims the myth that automation would pro- duce enough jobs to absorb those workers displaced by.computers has been exploded, IBM Presi- dent Thomas Watson, they say, has testified that computors are designed to displace workers, A four-day week is their solution and a hopeful note is that they consider white collar workers who operate computors will feel more like other workers and will be more amenable to unioniza- tion, * * * Attention is drawn tothe strike at Globelite Batteries, makers of Atlas, Goodyear, Auto-Lec, Co-op and Bulldog batteries, Also when tempted to buy the Star Weekly,. remember the Typo- ' graphical.

This action followed the re- fusal of Jagan to resign follow- ing the election last Monday, In the election the People’s Pro- gressive Party led by Jagan emerged as the biggest single party in the colony, but did not get an overall majority of votes, The PPP obtained 109,332 votes (45,83 per cent), and so has 24 seats in the 53-seat legislature. Its vote was 16,000 higher than in the last election and its share of the total vote went up by more than three per cent, The People’s National Con-. gress (PNC), led by Burnham, polled 96,657 votes (40.53 per cent), an increase over 1961 of « nd 1 got married because 1 “ as ured of working.” : 7 Enjoy Good, Home-Cooked Meals at Jennie’s Cafe 335 Main St. @ Modern equipment @ Dining room service 7,000 votes but a slight fall in percentage, The third party, United Force Party, polled 29,- 612 votes, Charging that the elections were a fraud and that the U,S, and Britain financed the opposi- tion, Jagan said after the election CHEDDI JAGAN 29S BIOL ASS SOK SAE OO SME OIE ATS SOG SSL STS SOL MESES ISS HEEL PSO HSL MSE WS A ‘“‘MUST"' on your list of Holiday Entertainment!
