A friend rid my married woman's place is in the

I shrugged and raised my brows, I hoped expressively. as I said "Don't ask me. Ask your late an- ployer."

We were discussing that all-in- furiating and very modern pro- blem, ""Shoald Married Women Keep their Joba?"

Being a married woman (if a very recent one), my friend had no doubts that the right answDE" WES “yes,” although her employer re- gretfully, but firmly had just given her a decided “no.” which to any- one with less definite views, might have clinched the matter.

Except for the fom she gets out of it, she doesn't need a job and her holding one could only mean that she was keeping some girl, in maybe desperate need of employ- ment, out of it

On the other hand, I know a won man who was served with a notice by the County Council: that`mar- ried teacher must give up their posts, although her husband was a consumptive and incapable of earn- ing a living

Differing Cases

The same ruling for two widely different cases-promptly becomes an

"But what has it got to do with

an employer whether a woman is married or not?" reiterated my friend. "He doesn't 'sack a man because be isn't mazzied, and ought to spend his money on some da 14 serving woman.

And employers suspiciously asEUNDE. that the cost of this is the loss of their old office efficiency. They must make this assumption, other- wise why this ban on married wo- men?

Home Versus Office

Of course, there is a type of young woman who, having a home of her own, can't keep her whole mind on her job. When she should be concentrating on her work she is wondering if there's anything to do about the stain on the dining- room carpet, what she'll gïve Jim for supper, and whether she cam leave the office before the shops close for the sight.

But that kind of a woman should not have an office job anyway. If she hasn't learned to delegate her domestic worries to some compet- tent person, or organise her life to keep the two jobs of home and office completely separate, she can't have been much use in her pre-marriage days when the emotional upheaval of various boy friends must have equally impinged on office time

and office interests...

Then, of course, there are those cccasions when a woman is "busy"

Marriage Or Career? One-result of this offee ban on. married women is to make girls think twice about marrying. There are many women, intellectually, the equal of any man, who are doing. jobs -- creative, important jobs-- and these women are saying to- themselves: "Em awfully fond of Tom, and I want to lead a complete life emotionally, but is it worth while to give up the work I've struggled so hard to attain, and love doing, just to marry him 2oo

BOURN-VITA

Modern science says you cannot „betest Dally, from any food you don't enjoy. Therefore Cadburys tested hundreds of malts until they found a malt which, besides having the correct - dietetic value, "had a pleasant favour.

Cadbury's also perfected a low-temperature process which preserves intact practically all the vitamins in Bouziva, The -result is that Bozzn-vita provides a concentrated wealth of nourishment for, building bone and muscle, and replacing, nervous. energy while it contains an adequate proportion of Vitamins A, B and D. Cadbury's process also preserves the diastase in the malt. This is the substance which makes Bourn‐vita so easy-to digest, and this explains why a-cup of Bournvita helps the digestion, of other foods.
