Veteran's Wives Lead Dual Lives,-
Many Play Role of Breadwinners
Recently, after passing through
Guilford College's "Veteran Vil-j
lage," a traveling salesman be
came puzzled.
"How," he inquired of a local j
groceryman, "do married veterans |
go to college and make ends meet
without outside help?"
"I don't know how they do it," !
answered the groceryman, "but I j
sell them groceries and they pay j
their bills."
Two hours before .the salesman j
and groceryman could have solved
the problem by walking one-half
block from the scene of their con
versation to the Guilford College j
Post Office. Here, between 7:30 and i
8 a.m. each day. many collegiate j
husbands' wives pick up their mail j
and congregate in waiting for j
transportation to their jobs in near- |
by localities.
Woman the Breadwinner
Here the role of breadwinner!
is shifted to the female head of j
the family, and she cheerfully j
adds her earnings to the subsist
ence allowance paid the veteran
by Uncle Sam. Combining the two,
they are able to pay the many
bills common to the American fam
ily.
Daily Schedules Listed
Just take a look at the daily
schedule of two of the academic
widows; that of Dorothy (Mrs.
William! Brittain, formerly of Jack
sonville, Fla., and Polly (Mrs. Gene
Key, formerly of White Plains.
Mrs. Brittain arises at an early
hour and prepares breakfast for
her husband and three-year-old
Barbara. Then she prepares Bar
bara for a day at the nursery be
fore proceeding to her job in the
business office of a Greensboro
newspaper.
The Busy Bee
Mrs. Key does not have the ex
tra responsibility of a daughter,
but she nevertheless must play the
proverbial role of the busy bee.
She also arises at an early hour,
prepares breakfast, and prepares
herself for a busy day as a private
secretary at the Pilot Life Insur
ance Company near Sedgefield.
The other nights she spends
helping her husband run a little
soda shop on the college campus
until 10 p.m. As she does her own
laundry and housecleaning also,
these tasks are often done between
the hours of 10 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.
after a night of either basketball
or soda-jerking.
Do the girls mind? "No," they
will tell you quickly, "we expect
a return for our toils someday. And
we enjoy the atmosphere of college
and the people that go with it."
