Surely the individual who keep* the workers on the Job--the housekeeper --is just as essential. Health, efficiency, and the attitude of workers to their jobs is largely a matter of the clcanlines* and serenity of the homes from which they come. A group of workers tcho have completely overlooked the fine work of a 54-yonr-old woman and who are taking it for granted that she should carry an impossible load of work, are the• subject of this week's Kathleen Norris article. By KATHLEEN NORRIS f THATS what Miriam Wolfe J calls herself -- her son's 1 wife's servant. She writes trie from San Diego, California, of the problem in the Wolfe household, and it isn't an*unusual one. Miriam is 54; her son Clyde just 20 years younger, and his wife, Marie, about 30. There are two children,, Babs and Butch, aged 7 and 3. They live in a large house that is shared bv Marie's two brothers and her widowed sister, Ada. Ada and Marie, Clyde and the brothers all work; their united income runs to almost twelve hundred a month. This is Miriam's story:- "When my good husband died, nine years ago, he left me a small annuity. I lived with my sister until her death two years ago, then took a good job in a sliip-building plant, and made about $45 a week. Five months ago, Marie, my son's wife, came to me with a proposition. Their home was simply going to wreck and ruin: the children impudent and neglected, the two women overworked and nervous. She and Clyde and Ada talked me into moving in with them, giving up my job, and managing their house. Fi»r this I was to be paid $25 a week, that is, five dollars from each one of the workers. Since that meant no rent or living expenses and no factory deductions for me, it was a more than even break ^jid I made that arrangement.

In checking my books I find that I am owed exactly $105. yet every one of them is sure I am all paid up. This comes of putting down a ten, or a couple of ones, and saying : 'I'll pay you the rest soon," and then feeling that for weeks everything is al 1 right. "I am working too hard, trying to do too much, getting no help. The one thing that keeps me here is my beloved Clyde, who is happier, is eating better, is having some home comfort with Maima on the job.
