She hes always liked Canada. en was it common for married we - men to work then. Now most married .couples work, especially the younger folk, -just as'they do in Canada, (Perhaps it is a "hangover" from the war days when all the women were con- scripted, and those who were' able had to work for the survival of Great Britain.) But the wages are not so high as in Canada—not by a long shot! For example the average weeldy wage of. a labourer or store Clerk in Scotland is about $24 per week. On the' other hand, some things are cheaper, such: as rents. T. Blackie came from Bridge of Weir and they visited his . reins -lives there. He served overseas with the Air Force,` returning sto Canada hi 1945, so the changes were not so noticeable to him. Mrs. Blackie saw many chan- ges hapges in. Scotland. For one thing there is lots of work and one can go from one job to another. It was not so in her young days.
