"IF CALLED UPON TO MAKE MY OWN LIVING WHAT WOULD I DO AND WHERE WOULD I GO?" ****** ****** Dear Uncle Sam, - I would like to be a milliner and go to Paris. There is always room for a clever milliner, and anyone may succeed who has creative faculty, combined with artistic gifts. A head milliner commands a very good salary, generally from about £150 to £300 a year. The two highest goals a milliner can hope to reach is either that of a buyer or head milliner; the first, as a rule, being chosen from the saleswoman and the latter from the assistant milliners. - I remain your loving niece, Ettie WILSON, Moor Close, Millom. ****** Dear Uncle Sam, - I think I would like to be a nurse, if I was called upon to make my own living, so that I could then go into the hospital to attend to the sick and the wounded, besides the hospital nurses get good wages. - I reman, your affectionate niece, Alice DICKINSON, Barwickstead Lodge, Beckermet. ****** Dear Uncle Sam, - If I was called upon to make my own living, I would go to be a sailor, as they make a lot of money, and I would try to pass and get to be a captain, and then I would go all over the world. They say there are a great deal of hardships to undergo, but I think there are some wherever you go.. - From your affectionate nephew, Joseph BEWLEY ****** Dear Uncle Sam, - I think the subject this week is a suitable one, and easy for everyone to say something about. If I were called upon to make my own living I should go to Africa, and work in the gold mines. But before I went I would like to work a year or two in the mines at home so as to have a better idea of mining. - I remain, your affectionate nephew, William BOADLE, Keekle Bank. ****** Dear Uncle Sam, - If I had to work for my own living I should first of all get out of Wasdale Head in double quick time. I would go to a town, perhaps Whitehaven, and try to get into a newspaper office, accepting the lowest vacancy that offered. Having got my foot on the bottom rung of the ladder, I would climb up step by step, continuing my education as opportunity allowed, and perhaps in time I might rise to become the honoured editor of a newspaper, which is my ideal of all that is noble and grand. - Your affectionate nephew, William Henry GARLAND, Wasdale Head. ****** Dear Uncle Sam, - When I leave school I will be old enough to try to make my own living. I would like to go to Australia to work in the gold mines, because there is better money and much cleaner work than in the coal mines at home. I remain, your affectionate nephew,   A. EILBECK, Rose Bank, Hensingham     ****** << Prev - Next >>
