far, Mrs. Chandler still has to
answer many of the queries on
child care herself.
Il get letters all day long" she
said, begging for solution to the
problem OF where to leave children
while mothers work. Here is one
that typifies the pleas"
The letter was from a w-salaried
Government woman worker who
could afford only $3.50 a week for a
servant to care for her small child.
And for that price, she said, she
could only get school children to
come in These young baby tenders,
she complained, were erratic in
their attentions and attendance, one
having given her child poison by
mistake.
Mrs. Chandler has asked the Com
munity War Fund for money to
pay several professional assistants
who would 60 out into the areas
and help organize neighborhood
nurseries and after-school programs.
She is volunteer, but she stresses
that there must be some professional
staff II the job OF caring for chill
dren Of Washington working
mothers is to be directed efficiently
Many volunteers to help the pro-
fessionals will be needed, how
ever.
The professional stan would also
continue the work of bringing
churches into the child care pro-
gram. Churches are our richest
source for day care centers," said
Mrs. Chandler Many of them
have space which is not used from
I in the morning till at night, plus
cooking facilities and outdoor play
space"
The committee also is keeping
watchful eye on plans for new
housing projects in the District to
see that nurseries will be provided
II families are to be housed.
