BY PEGGY MOBLEY
Recent tests have proven what women have
known all along . . . that women are much stronger
than men.
It’s a fact that women outlive men ... or does
it just seem that way?
In this instance, women may have outsmarted
themselves because they end up with extra years
of living alone.
In any battle of the sexes women will mention
that without them there wouldn’t even be a battle
but they d have a bit of a problem starting a family
alone. Maybe the mythical Amazons and the black
widow spiders have a good idea along this line.
Maybe we should keep the men in their propei
place ... as slaves for us superior sexes.
With all of this superior power and longevity
aIs’ l m,afraid that we have let the guys outfox
us They ve let us get to feeling so superior, with
all of our Womens Lib and WEAL, that we are
ending up doing all of the work.
They “reluctantly” let us hold down jobs as
well as take care of our houses and pulled the
wool over our eyes until sometimes we are inclined
to believe that we’re spiteing them when we put in
a seventeen hour day.
A recent report by the American Home Econo-
mists Association showed that many working women
spend an average of from 4 to 8 hours a day on
housework in addition to the eight hour a day job
that they hold. All of this while the not so smart
homemaker who doesn’t work spends from 5 to 12
hours a day at her tasks.
On the average working women work from 66
to 75 hours a week, while their husbands work
from 57 to 71 hours a week including their jobs
and all that they do at home. Men seem to work
longer on their jobs but they make up for this by
lounging around the house while their wives are
cooking, cleaning and taking care of the kids.
Husbands, whether their wives work or not,
whether they have six children or none, never spend
more than an average of two hours a day on house-
work and most spend an hour or less.
The research study was made by Dr. Kathryn E.
Walker and William H. Gauger of Cornell University
and was based on a survey that included 1,400
urban, rural and suburban families.
Because a person’s worth in our society is
often measured by the money he or she earns,
Walker and Gauger calculated the salary due for
housework if the husband or wife were paid for
their labors.
If a married couple with two children were to
hire a cook, baby-sitter, handyman, laundry worker,
homemaker aide, accounting clerk, dish-washer and
cleaning women, it would cost $8,800 a year just
to do the jobs around the house normally done by
the husband and wife.
Based on current contributions to housework, a
full-time housewife would earn $7,600 a year while
her husband would earn $1,200 for his share of the
housework. For a couple with two children where
both man and woman worked, the working wife
would earn $6,200 at home in addition to what she
earned at work.
The woman who has it the easiest, housework-
wise, is a working wife under the age of 25 with no
children. The woman who works the hardest at
home is the working wife with two children, one
under the age of 1 year old.
“I believe that inequality of work time that
comes with the wife’s employment deserves serious
attention by families in which the wife chooses
employment work in addition to household work ”
Dr. Walker said.
After thinking about these facts for a long time,
I'm convinced that it was a dirty, male Chauvinist
trick, pulled off by men taking advantage of wo-
men’s contrary nature and saying “womans place
is in the home” that made so many of us bolt to
go to work to help our husbands have an easier time
of earning a living.
SCHOOL BOARD AGENDA GIVEN
TROPHIES ARE READY . . . Linda and Carolyn Gage show the trophies that

25 SELLING SUBSCRIPTIONS
Twenty-five youthful
salesmen are covering
the city this week trying
to win a . 10 speed bi-
cycle in the Citizen’s
Subscription Contest.
To win a bike of this
type, all that is neces-
sary is to sell 25 new
subscriptions to the
Citizen. Subscriptions
must be paid in advance
and the subscriber must
not already be getting
the paper.
The White Auto bike
has all of the newest
features and will be
awarded to everyone that
sells the 25 subscrip-
tions. Several people
have called the Citizen
thinking that only one
or two bikes will be
awarded but as many
bikes will be given as
needed for those selling
25 new subscriptions.
The salesmen now
registered in the con-
test are Casey Cobb,
Gordon Bryant, John
Bauer, Scott Chaffin,
Tracy Hudson, Jeff
Smith, Penny Tucker,
Lynn England, Cindy
England, Tommy Harris,
Kyle Dillard and Ricky
Raymond.
Also, Johnny Greer,
Dugan Taylor, Scott
Dotson, Joel Wiley,
Rusty Nutting, Jody
Ball, Jeff Barker, Rod-
ney Barker, Richard
Taylor, Kim Williams,
Wesley Thornton, Bill
DeCapua and Joann
DeCapua.
Johnny Taylor re-
ceived his new bike
last week and this has
spurred the sellers on
to trying even harder.
CH Central Baptist Church
Now Selling Church Bonds
The Central Baptist
Church members are
busy selling church
bonds to finance the
building of their new
church to be constructed
on Highway 67 in the
Wild Flowers Addition.
Bonds may be pur-
chased in amounts of
$250, $500 and $1,000
and will pay 8V2 percent
at maturity. Capital
issue for the bonds is
$40,000.
The Rev. Malcolm
Scoggins, pastor of the
church, said that the
membership will began
building the church im-
mediately as the bond
sale progresses.
He said that the
bonds are a good invest-1
ment that will pay a
higher rate of interest
than most other invest-
ments. Also, the First
Bank and Trust will
finance bonds for those
who want to buy bonds.
In answer to the
question . . . How can
the church pay this pre-
mium interest rate? . . .
Rev. Scoggins answers
“in part because of the
advantages taxwise a
non-profit corporation en-
joys. Being a non-profit
institution, Central
Baptist Church of Cedar
Hill, unlike profit
making companies, has
no income or property
taxes that are an obli-
gation prior to these
bonds. This is a point
of vital consideration
with everyone.’’
In addition to the
pastor, those partici-
pating in the bond sale
are the Rev. Charles
Paschell, assistant pas-
tor; and trustees: Glen
Walls of Duncanville.

Kindergarten Program

When school begins on August 27, 1973, Cedar
Hill will institute a kindergarten program as pres-
cribed by State Law. This law provides kindergar-
ten for all students who are 5 years old on or be-
fore September 1, 1973. It further provides that the
program shall be on a half-time basis. The Cedar
Hill Board of Trustees has adopted a policy which
states that the older (by month) 5 year olds will
attend school all day (8:35 a.m. until 2:45 p.m.) for
the first semester and the younger 5 year olds will
attend all day the second semester. This kinder-
garten program is not mandatory but is highly recom-
mended.
Enrollment for the first semester will be limited
to 54 students. Therefore, it is extremely impor-
tant that we pre-register all children who will
attend kindergarten next year. If you have not
already done so, please call Bray Elementary
School, 291-4231, and a registration packet will be
mailed to you.
