Nursery is the outcimo of "a need for
which Ardmore has long been lacking.
So many mothers must work away from
their homes. they had no place to leave
their children Many times, smaller
children are left I'm the care of children
as young as six or eight years of age.
When So many of the men are drafted
into the service and the demand came
for women TO take their places, EN-.
