101 Things for the Housewife To Do 1949
Another little window into how we were. This is the second, 1949 edition of a book brought out in 1939; I suppose the war got in the way of updates. What is surprising is the number of things for the housewife to do that I would have expected the man to do (like I do today), such as changing tap washers or putting up shelves.
When I was a young child living in the Penyparc prefabs, first aid for cuts and scratches, especially caused by falling on gravel, were treated by being rushed next door to an aunt who would wash the wound and douse it in iodine; ouch!
