FITNESS FOR HOUSEWIVES
f REST & RECREATION NEEDED. A “keep fit” campaign for housewives was advocated by Dr G. F. Buchan, president of the English Health and Cleanliness Council,- in a recent address. He said it was a reflection on modern civilisation to look m the housewife as a drudge. Large families and small-houses were a handicap, and it was necessary, thereforethat every labour-saving device should be employed so that housework might be done with the minimum of time and the least expenditure of musculai energy. To keep fit, the housewife had to have leisure for rest, recreation and conversation. No person should be more fit than the housewife. Yet Gov eminent schemes were directed tc keeping fit young people who, in any event, would get themselves fit, and he provision was made for the housewife who was an essential part of -the nation.
