Code for housewives tests NRA policy limits
Bruce Catton the NEA writer in The Star comments on a proposed code for housewives under Johnsons NRA program. He argues a daily routine from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. with four hours off and $14 weekly for housekeeping would be hard to enforce given everyday interruptions from life, children, canvassers, and mishaps. He notes domestic work resists formalization and warns rulers may underestimate the complexity of a housewife day.
