Milk in the afternoon and pretty milkmaids to serve it, "THAT'S THE LIFE." What would these pampered pansies of Paterson's NJ. plant of Wright Aeronautical Corp. (TIME, Aug. 24) do on a diet of cocoa and flies in the afternoon? NO MILK, NO BUTTER, NO POTATOES, NO FLOUR, NO COFFEE is what we have and as for MILKMAIDS-anything white, single and under 60 would cause a riot, not a STRIKE in these parts.

Teresa's present salary is about $1,000 a week. Daughter of a widowed, peripatetic insurance salesman, she once played a rippling brook in a grade-school pageant, a few roles in high-school plays.
