FLYING?
The facts and figures outfit has made a survey in Illinois and finds that our women could have at least a week more vacation a year if they would grocery-shop once or twice a week, like granny did, instead of every day.
See FIRST NATIONAL BANK TRAVEL AGENCY Phone. 30 8th and Mass.
Here's the way the research people broke it down.
Old Fashioned Shopping Saved Housewives' Time
There are 2,145,649 housewives in Illinois who shop for groceries every day. They spend a staggering total of 781,016,236 hours a year on same, or approximately 32,542,343 days.
Assume that every other state has the same number of housewives. That means, shopping every day, that women in America use up 1,544,877,280 days pinching melons, poking through the potato bins, and deciding which cereal to buy. Divided by 365, that gives us a 4,205,014 woman-years lost in a single year by the daily shoppers.
That's quite a loss.
Everyday shopping, the experts say, costs a woman a full 15 days a year in elapsed time. Shopping twice a week would cut that into 7.5 days. Once a week and you can divide 7.5 by two.
The Servel people reason, by reason, that there are a lot of things wrong with the way women shop. Like, for example, putting a lot of things off until Friday and Saturday. That slows up the works; a 66 per cent waste of time.
Modern refrigeration with all of the deep-cold equipment keeps food long enough for the vegetables and other things to pull a family through a whole week, as a matter of fact. All of which takes us back to grandma's days.
When she was a kid nobody ever
shopped much except on Saturday.
Saturday
The farmer used to leave his plow around sunday, wash up the cows, eat some supper, put on a clean pair of overalls, pack the wife and kids into the surrey and be off for a gay old time in town.
The kids in the back seat had to loop their legs over a couple of cases of eggs and a can of cream: the wife's hat and corset money.
That Feminine Touch
There was no hustling for potatoes or fresh things because of the home garden. No waste of time buying bread. It was baked at home. The meat supply for the year was in the smoke house.
About all the family needed for the week was a supply of store matches, a bag of flour, some oatmeal, and a few things for the old man, maybe a pair of overalls for one of the kids or a new calico for Mama's Sunday-best.
In Illinois almost every family in town and the country had what was known as a storm cellar. It was built a few feet under ground back of the big house and was handy for cyclones or for keeping things like sweet milk and fresh-cut vegetables from spoiling.
The problem of refrigeration was solved in a normal sort of way.
It was cool and milk and the home-made butter would keep for a week. No need to shop every day.
Malden, Mass, (U.P)-Being a woman doesn't prevent Miss Sarah Scenna from being a construction boss. She has supervised construction of more than 100 dwellings in Malden and other Massachusetts cities. Her current program calls for building 26 more homes.
