At a city bus stop, members of the Metropolitan New Orleans Household Technicians Mrs. Kathyerine Dunn, president, left, and Mrs. Melverleane B. Gaines talk about goals of their group with a prospective member. "I'm nearly 50 years old- I don't want to be called 'girl,' Nor do I want hand-me-down clothes and leftover food; give me a decent salary and I'll buy my own clothes and food. "And I don't want to be 'just like one of the family'; employee' will do just fine."- a local domestic worker.
