and good manners; wash, iron; double
as a nurse when necessary; and cheer-
fully perform sundry otiher cho-res, just
as his wiíe had doně.
In short order, our “innocent ahroad”
would discover the futility of trying to
find a woman of this description for
the price he could afford to pay — in
all likelihood not more than $15 a
week. He would fast learn that not
only are reasonably capable house-
keepers hard to find, but should you be
lucky enough to locate one she will ex-
pect to be paid a minimum of $50 for a
five-day week $2O0-pluis a month* or
not less than $2.400 a year.
Barring the possibility of re-rriar-
riage, our letterwriter’s need for a
housekeeper would be acute for at least
six years, when his olclest daughter will
reach age 15. By that time his em-
ployee’s Services will háve cost him a
staggering $14,000, How can a man,
whose income is almost .fulfy ušed up
in daily living, manage to také on such
a financial burden?
Maybe the situation in which he
finds himself is not of his own making.
Possibly no life insurance agent ever
explained the “why” of wife insurance
to him, We’ll never know.
But this we do know: In homes on
our debits and, in fact, all around us,
there are many husbands who can
avoid the tragic experience of this
man. We can talk to them about wife
insurance, and convince them of its
imnortance. We can show them what
setting aside a few dollars a week
could mean, should they lose their
wives at some future dáte. In addition,
cash values will build up and they can
be ušed for financial emergencies, edu-
cational expenses, and so forth, as well
as helping to provide a more com-
fortable retirement foť both husband
and wife. Are we bringing this type of
Information, about wife insurance to
the attention of all the couples we
know?

WOMEN OUTNUMBER, OUTLIVE MEN
Three years ago the latě President
Kennedy set up a eommission to study
the status of women in the United
States. Here are some facts from that
commission’s report. You may find the
fuiil report in your library or get it
from the Bureau of Publica,tions,
Washington, D.C.
A girl baby boru today has a life
expectancy of 73 years. A girl baby
born in 1900 could be expected to live
only about 48 years.
VĚSTNÍK
More women get married today and
at a younger age than in 1900.
Today one third of all workers are
women, over half-of them married. In
1900, women m&de up only 18 per cent
of the labor force.
Women in the United States today
outnumber men by 3,000,000 and ont-
live them from tivc to 10 years.
In 1800 about 5,000 women earned a
college degree. This number grew to
145,000 in 1961.
While more giris than boys today
graduate from high schooi, far fewer
giris go to college and more women
than men drop oait of college.
But strange as it may seem, the pro-
portion of women in college — four
women to six men .— was higher in 1939
than today.
It has been estimated that by 1980
the number of women in college may
catch up with men.
However, the estimate right now also
is that 4,000,000 adult women of our
nation háve had less than five years
of schod; and less than half of all
women 25 years and over are high
schooi graduates.
This means that, for many women
over 40, fewer jobs will be available,
because of limited education. Also íam-
ily life as well as community life will
be less satisfactory, as a rule, to the
less educated woman,
