The bill under consideration wouldnt put the wives of lighthouse keepers on the federal payroll, but it would provide benefits to widows of keepers. 389 Widows Listed Right now there are 389 such widows and their average age is 70. Thomas A. Lee, secretary of the active retired lighthouse service employees, points out that a civilian lighthouse keepers wife has been part and parcel of the lighthouse service in all respects but one she isnt on the federal payroll. During fog time, who keeps the lighthouse while the tired keeper is asleep? The mans lady. Who has to know about wind, rain, snow and fog? Who gets on the semag or flag hoists phore, the when the old man is tied up? In the old days, who had to know a rum running vessel off shore when she saw one? Lady Does Work Who got out the broom and dust mop to have the place spick and span for a surprise inspection by the federals? Who was just as lonesome as the keeper? The lady, of course, according to Tom Lee. The proposed legislation seems of little consequence to people who never visited a lighthouse. But congressmen have been shelled, via the mails, with letters from lighthouse widows. sew-rlt- e 39-lnc- h. ol Gar-mat- No, 8369 la a rated pattern for sizes 12. 14. 16, 13 end 20.

The house marine and fisheries committee is looking into a bill introduced by Rep. Edward A. (D., Md.). It is a sort of deferred salary payment measure to benefit widows of lighthouse keepers.
