The Fireman's Water Battle, which may be common in Maine, was a distinct and very interesting feature to people from areas where there are no such facilities for firemen to engage in such contests. There is probably much le.§s disposition to do so any­way on the part of firemen who handle hoses for the ss'<e of pay.

The celebration was well worth the trip from New Jersey. We hope others \\ ho missed the affair will be similarly rewarded by the 200th which we regret we expect to miss.

Visiters to Milo's Sesquicentennial celebration had access to two interesting exhibits. The Senior Citizens group had an Arts and Crafts show at the T{)wn Hall which was well attended and much appreciated. The photo above is· of a part of Mrs. Blanche Degerstrom's collection of old bottles. The photo below shows Leon Kinney's collection of antique toys which was on exhibit at the Milo Historical Society's headquarters in the Town Hall. Both exhibits were very popular with the visitors.

THE f[!. FAMILY. LAWYER-=-

Dollar Value Of A Housewife

How much is a housewife worth in ·dollars and cents? This unsentimental question comes up every day in our courtrooms. Whenever a housewife has died in an accident and her family is. seeking damages, some amount

. must stand for her dollar value­what tt>e family has lost because of her death.

In most cases, the key issue is how much it would cost to hire a substitute housekeeper to do approximately the same work as long as necessary. Sometimes the work is broken down into tho separate functions that the de­ceased has been performing.

For example, an award may be based on such i terns (per week) as I 0 hours of services ns a cook, 2 hours of services as a waitress, 7 hours of services as a laundr~:ss, 10 hours of services as a babysitter, 2 hours of ser­vices as a bookkeeper.

Of course, there <ICC endless variables. Suppose, for instance, that the deceased was excep­tionally capable in her domestic chores. That could increase her worth. Thus, the dollar value of one housewife-killed in an auto collision-was held to be higher than average because she made most of the family clothing and canned considerable. produce from her backyard garden.

T n another case, the figure was higher because the woman helped her husband in his plumb­ing business; in another, because she worked part-time as a bus driver; in another, because she gave special nursing to her ail­ing child.

Does the law allow compensa­tion also for the "society, care, and attention" she gave to her husband and children? Some courts do, on the theory thnt these too are .. services" with n price.

Other courts, however, don't go thai far, saying such bene­fits are too intangible to be mea­. sured in money.

Furthermore, factors that may be plus in one situation may be minus in another. In one case an ~ward of $75,000 was held too righ, largely because the

· woman had functioned at a be­low-average level in family mat­ters. She had been on unfriendly terms with her husband, and, be­cause of her own frailties, had played only a minor role in the upbringing of their children.
