‘Shristmas Brings llost 0f Problems To British Wives

Dec. iii-The women of Britain, six years of vital war work ﬁnished, are hurrying back home to welcome demoblllzed hus- bands and set u full-time house- kceping-under ifliculties. Eight hundred thousand married women left the armed forces and war industry during the six months after Germany capitulat- ed. Em loyment offices in most industrla centres say the short- age of women willing to work is one of their biggest problems.

This, to a Russian or a Pole. ls the "Bridge of Sighs." For it is with a sigh that a Russian steps off the Praga end of the bridge since it is not much farther to go to the east to Russian territory.
