Even some of the heretofore exclusively male magazines have taken to printing tongue- in-cheek articles about the raising of children. And nobody, lateraalV nobody, ever stops to wonder if Mother is happy and Well -adjusted. And yet, you 1010rv, it is more important to the happiness Of a fa° ally that Mother be adjusted than that the children Shwa(' be overTr'otected. Fifty yeaivs ago, this was a problem that did not exist. Most girls were brought up to think of marriage andfamily as their ultimate goal in life, and the chores of everyday living—cooking, washing, mending, iron- ing—represented ron- ing represented the only work a girl knew before marriage. Nowadays, when most girls go into business as soon as they leave school, their actual practical knowledge of housewifery is extremely limited. After a girl has spent several years in the, hustle and bustle of the business world, the prospect of a life spent tending a house and caring for the needs of a man and _his children can be quite frightening. In fact, to some women, marriage can become a dreadful form of slavery. The woman who had an exciting career with heavy responsibilities and a good salary will undoubtedly resent being tied to a house and children, particularly if her hus- band keeps tight hold of the purse strings. Frequently this resentment makes a woman overly housq'proud and she spends her days cleaning and recleaning a house already spotless. She nags, and when her children react to this nagging un - f vourably, she rushes them off to a pediatrician for atten- tion. quite apart from the unhappiness engendered by this sort of frustration, we must recognize that the woman who worked before marriage may feel a compelling urge to con- tinue working after marriage and that she may, in fact, consider her life to be wasted if she is forced to spend it entirely in the home. In a big city it is relatively easy to bind competent day care for small children while 'the mother goes out to work. As the working mother's salary is usually quite high, thee resultant raising of the family's standard of living frequently causes a general easing of tension. Add to this the fact that the working mother is often much more at ease with her children when she comes home than the mother who is tied to thea i 24 hours a day without respite, and you have a family that is' truly well -adjusted. In a small town like Godegich, the solution is not quite so easy. It is a -fact that single girls in small towns will work for lower wages than their sisters. in the city. Thus, when a married woman applies for work she is forced to accept a wage which has no real relation to the expenses 61 daily living. In the case of a woman with two or more children, the wage she is offered probably would not pay for the day care of her children. There is no day nursery in Goderich and so the mother who wishes to work finds herself com- pletely fralstrated. Perhaps the only solution here lies in creative, work that tan be claire in the home while the children are away at school or asleep, in bed. The' housewives of a small Lan- cashire town, faced with this problem, uncovered haiddlooms that had not been used for three-quarters of a century and went to work in their front parlors, producing fine hand- s loomed cottons. They created a" demand for their product in the fashio,n houses and built a business that competed successfully with mass-produced cotton. There could be a lesson in this for us. A home industry might be of greater value to Goderich than an imported industry—not only for the money that it would bring in, but for ,the sense of u e - fulness that it would give to many mothers who would dearjy love to go out to work. See you next week. Lent Starts Feb: 15 -Fish Menu. Kedgeree may seem a curious word for a food, but it comes to us from India. In Hindustani the word is "khichri." In the land of its origin, the dish was. made of boiled rice and highly flavored in- gredients and was favored univers=- ally throughout the country. Time and distance Have wrought changes in the basic formula for Kedgeree. When Europeans adopted it, they added fish to the principal ingredi- ents, so that in Canada today it is thought of as a well seasoned fish and rice•dish. It is a dish to keep in rriind when you wish to use canned fish or leftover cooked fil- lets in a hearty and flavorful din- ner dish, for the ingredients can easily be varied to suit' they 1 -antes of your fatally and the contents of the pantry or refrigerator. KEDGEREE 2 cups hot cooked rice 2 cups flaked cooked or canned fish 4 hard -cooked -eggs, chapped •le cup milk 1 tablespoon butter crr margarine 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 1., teaspoon Worceseershire sauce Salt and pepper to taste Combine ingredients and heat in top of double boiler until piping hot.
