What can we do with the little chill
dren that become charges of the COM
munity before they reach the age OF four
years? This was a question brought
I'D by First Selectman Casper K. Bal
" in a very interesting talk at the noon
day luncheon of the Norwich Rotary
club held Wednesday at the Wauregan
hotel.
In his talk Mr.. Bailey said: We have
| Just celebrated the birth OF the greatest
Child the world has ever known, Child
born under humble circumstances. There
are hundreds of children in this city
born under the same humble conditions,
conditions that do not improve, and, as
] the family increases, in fact, grow
worse. What are we as a Christian
| community going to do for these chill
/ dren who have not reached the age of
J four years? After they are four years
old we have the county homes. but until
| they reach that age no provision has
been made for them if they are left alone
| in the world. The legislation is such
that without breaking the law these
children cannot be placed in a county
| home and if a private family or woman
wishes to take these children she must
have a license. I, with others from
Norwich, have tried to have legifila-
|
children might be admitted to the coun-
| ty homes Or some other institution but
| it has been of no avail.
The child welfare department of the
state has only received three applica-
tons from women who would be willing
to take charge of one or more children
and only one of these was granted a
license. Sometimes children are adopt

Their than the rule.
In my experience as, first selectman
| during the winter two years ago I had
a. woman come to me with two little
children. Her husband had left her and
another child She was going to the
hospital and had no one to care for heI
two babies. I hustled around and got
a woman to take care of the children. II
was against the law but what could one
do? The next day a woman called my
attention to a case in the city where
both father and mother were i'll will
pneumonia and the children were lef
without care. All the children were un
der four years and I tried to get the
county home to take them but the HON,
reported that 1t was impossible to car
for them at that time and there was al
outbreak of measles at the Rock Nool
home so the only thing was to get som
individual to care for them. I locke,

took the children to her home but foun
, that as one of the small children ha
been sick the woman was afraid for he
own children so would not take then
During the weeks that followed thes
/ children were cared for by seven differ

: mother had recovered and was able t
, care for them
This is the condition that exists I

children over four years have plac

MUCH LUMBER AND
 HARDWARE USED IN
 NEM COUNRTY CLUB

The building hardware and lum her used in the construction of the new Country Club building were fur nished by the J. D. Halstead Lum her company, 639 West Van Buren street, and were of the best grade of materials of this kind available on the market Only kiln-dried lum- her. seasoned best to suit the climate of southern Arizona, was furnished on the contract. This company also furnished the cement used in the construction of the building.
 The hardware furnished for the building was of the style known as genuine Barff and was made by the Russel Irwin company. This style of hardware, consisting of door locks, handles and window fastenings, ranks on the market as one of the highest grade of building hardware made Stanley butts were used for the doors and Rickson operators on the windows, both styles fitting in perfectly with the Barff style.
 Most of the hardware furnished for the building was of a distinctive character. Hardware of this kind used in the construction of buildings usually is made to order following the letting of the contract and the finishing of the building is held up waiting for the manufacture of the hardware. Due to the fact that the IIalstead company deals with the larger manufacturers of distinctive

 To Ernest w. Lewis. president or the club, belongs which credit for the early completion of the building. lie was one of the old club members 10 actively foster the idea of a new home. He was a propagandist from the very outset and the seed sown by him among other members bore fruit In these efforts he was ably assisted by Dr. Kimball Bannister, vice president of the club. pr. Bannister was m strumental in the construction or the 1S-hole grass golf course which, In it's second year, is considered one or the finest courses in the entire west. Guy N. Dernier, secretary treasurer of the club. has also been prominently identified with the construction pro gram from the outset.
