COMPULSORY DOMESTIC SERVICE
»ir,-- Your correspondent L.L.M. takes exception to Caroline Webb's suggestion for solving the domestic help problem, ie., "making all girls serve a period of domestic service equivalent to a period of military service called for from boys." To paraphrase L.L.H.’s .argument, I wonder would she object 8qually to any proposal of enforced military training which would interrupt our young men eager to follow their desired goal? Imagine a potential Oscar Natzke or Douglas Lilburn giving up the year or two necessary for military training at a time when every day is important, to his future career! I would most certainly object to this for my sons. Equality of the sexes if you like-but we mothers must be consistent.
