Should Husbands Do Housework?
ALL CORNY JOKES TO THE CONTRARY, the American Hus*
band is a pretty wonderful guy! That’s what most wives will tell
you and the few who won’t will have to argue with the statistics.
Ninety one percent of the men today, a recent survey shows, help the
little woman with her housework, i--——
What’s more, the Tide Washing
Clinic, which conducted the study,
report that these men are not hen
pecked into aprons. As masculine
as galluses, they do it because they
want to! Half of them think
housework is part of their job too!
GRAMPA CAN CLUCK HIS
TONGUE over the trend but times
are changing and so is the view
point of his progeny. Vanishing
like the mustache cup is the fear
that dishpans and dustcloths will
damage a niarrls dignity. Two
thirds of the husbands do the
dishes, half tidy the house, a
fourth are amateur chefs, a third
do the laundry and nearly all of
them empty garbage and repair
things.
ARE MEN GOOD HOUSE
KEEPERS? “Excellent!” chorus
theii wives, half of whom claim
they even do some jobs better.
Asked to rate themselves, the men
were modest. Two-thirds say wives
are more efficient and only a hand
ful dared to say they could out
shine the Mrs. The men were also
given a chance to score the women.
Half rated the little woman as
“very efficient”. Only 3% black
balled her as “inefficient”.
THE MORE MONEY a young
man makes, the more housework
he does, while the more money an
older man earns the less he does.
The amount of housew’ork a hus
band does also seems to be deter
mined by where he lives. The sub
urbanites are giving their wives
a lot more help than the city
spouses or the men in towns and
on the farms.

THIS EXPERIENCE WITH
DISHPAN AND DIAPERS has
given the boys a new understand
ing of their wives’ job. The “Any
Dope-Can-Run-A-House” School is
rapidly dwindling. Also vanishing
is that cliche “like mother did it’’.
The men don’t compare wives with
mothers any more. “He tried that
just once,” said one wife grimly.
THEY DON'T HOLD UP MA
MA as an example any more but
if this trend toward aproning men
continues they may make other
comparisons. Some puzzled bride
twenty years hence is apt to hear
her spouse say, “Darling, that’s a
good pie but it’s not like the ones
Dad used to make.”

Chaim Weismann, First
President of Israel, Dies
REHOVOT, Israel, (JP) — Dr.
Chaim Weismann, 77-year-old
father of Israel, will be buried
tomorrow near his home here in
the promised land he helped build
and led as its first president.
Messages of sympathy for the
sorrowing young nation poured in
from world leaders following Dr.
Weismann’s death from a heart
attack yesterday.
The president’s mansion, on the
coastal plain 10 miles from Tel
Aviv, was open to the public to
day. A solemn line of Israelites,
some crying openly and some
quietly chanting Hebrew prayers,
passed the black - draped cata
falque on which the body of world
Zionism’s greatest leader lay in
state.
Premier David Ben-Gurion
called his cabinet together for a
memorial session for the old
statesman,, who, before he became
Israel’s chief of government, had
won renown as a chemist and
scholar.
AUGUSTA, Ga., (TP)—GOP Sen.
Eugene Millikin of Colorado was
reported headed for President
elect Dwight Eisenhower’s head
quarters here Saturday and there
was a possibility the s enator
might be asked to serve as Eisen
hower’s representative in the
Budget Bureau.
President Truman asked the
general last Wednesday, the day
after the election, to name a per
sonal representative to sit in for
preparation of the federal budget,
which will be submitted to Con
gress early in January — before
Eisenhower is inaugurated Jan.
20.
The President-elect replied he
would chose a representative
shortly. He also plans to place
representatives in the Defense and
State Departments.
Millikin was chairman of the
tax-writing Senate Finance Com
mittee in the 1947-48 Republican
controlled 80th Congress, and he
is in line to become chairman
again when the Republican re
sume control in January.
The Colorado senator is gen
erally regarded as a financial ex
pert. At present he is chairman of
the Republican conference of all
Republican senators.
The residents of Nome are ap
