Dear Ann Landers,
read that letter about the husband who was dressed up in his good suit and asked his wife to change the tire because she was in jeans. Your answer was terrible. If that had been my wife, I would have given her a swift kick in the Levis and left her with the car and the flat tire to figure things out for herself. It makes me mad the way women today want to drive buses, trucks, and taxis, fly air-planes, be lawyers and doctors, and run for public office, but they don't want to do any of the hard work connected with the job. I say nobody should get behind the wheel of a car if he isn't willing to change a tire. I work in a post office that has hired several women in the past few years. These women get the same pay as men, but they don't go near the eighty-pound sacks because a law says they don't have to pick up anything heavier than forty pounds. Is this fair?-Feduplentywithem
Dear Fed,
Kwitcherbellyachin. The law you are complain-ing about doesn't exist. According to the U. S. Post Office in Chicago, people are hired if they are qualified to do the job. The sex of the applicant is not a consideration. The female carriers in Chicago lug eighty-pound sacks and work just as hard as the men.
