The Whole City Seems to Have Helped

The cooperation secured for this work is
really remarkable, and has been most heart
ening to one who finds sometimes little too
much competition and not quite enough spirit
of "gettng together" in the war work that
IS being done in our great conglomerate city.

What Will You Do to Help?

Of course, it is not all clear sailing in the
play centres, with the multiplicity of customs
and nationaiities. Sometimes there are Incl
dents which disturb the smooth routine of
things, as when tiny maid offered milk
and explained that she afraid she couldn't
accept because her religion forbade her to
drink it within six hours after eating meat.
Many other children in the same centre were
found 70 be under the same restriction, and
a complete revision of the diet schedule was
necessary before the difficulty could be over
come.
But these small matters. The thing
that really counts is that these children are
spending the summer pleasantly and profit
ably occupied, carefully supervised, amid
healthy surroundings, instead of roaming the
hot, dusty pavements, a prey TO every dis
case that hovers over garbage cans and every
reckless driver who helps to make city streets
menace to our little ones.
But there are still so many, many children
left on the streets. The FIVE centres can care
for only few. What will you do to extend
their work? Money, service automobiles, all
will be welcomed by Mrs Howard Cans,
chairman of the Federation for Child Study,
at 40l West End Avenue.

here was less danger in the cold outdoors

Besides, what use is home when no one

up the cost of necessities to such point that
many mothers who had never worked outside
