$100 TO POWER BOARD WIVES FOR PHONE WORK
Wives of some King Country Electric Power Board staff are to be rewarded for putting up with telephone calls for their husbands. The wives will each receive $100 for the inconvenience of answering the telephone and dealing with people ringing on power board business. The inconvenience sometimes includes abuse, the board has heard. One engineer says Friday nights are especially bad when people have had a few drinks and have "got up some Dutch courage" and decide to "have a eo" at the board.
