ia Children Enrolled
In -Four Montgomery
Day-Care Centers

Working mothers in Montgomery
County apparently are taking ad-
vantage of the four day-care centers
established about three weeks ago,
with 224 children enrolled thus far
and more coming in every day.
Use of similar centers set up
throughout the State, however, has
not been as extensive as was antic-
ipated. according to Milton Patter-
son, chairman of the State Child
Care Committee.
Oficials in charge of the project
in Montgomery County expressed
themselves as well satisfied" with
the response to date. They said
1887 children have enrolled in the
Is recreation centers in the county,
which were opened at the same time
as the day-care centers.
Mothers Show Interest.
AS an example of the interest
shown by mothers in the two prof.
ects, the total enrolment in both
types of centers showed an increase
OF 208 in the four-day period be-
ginning July 8, it was reported. In
the last three days, there has been
an increase of 1874 children in both
the day-care and recreation centers.'
Ten day-care centers are sched-
uled to open shortly in Prince
Georges County. Officials there said
they anticipate no dificulty in OBJ
tanning adequate enrolment.
Mr.. Patterson explained that the
centers in areas affected by war in
dustries were a new idea to most
workers. In Cumberland. he added,
the center had to be closed after
only three children appeared dur
ing the first two days Of operation.
Expects Use to Increase.
He expressed the hope that when
parents realize the centers would
care for children whose mothers
work or whose fathers sleep during
the day. their use would increase.
Other centers are located in Bal
timore City and Baltimore, Hartford,
Washington. Allegany and Dorches-
ter Counties.
The centers are operated with
Lanham Act funds and If used to
capacity would fill a great need in
Maryland's war affected areas, he
said.

The Fisherman's Lament

The Fisherman's Lament
The only imperfection in an
otherwise perfect day and occasion
was the continuous wall with which
Herb Fawcett would greet any
catch made b. Corn Reed or p. l..
Moore on a trout fishing expedi-
ton at Lavining not so long ago.
Herb cried and cried every time
p l.. or Corn caught anything.
How come" he would sob and
complain" that you catch fish and
l don't? I'm using the same kind
of equipment and the same kind of
bait Why can't I catch fish?"
Herb was trolling from one side
of the boat, P. L. from the other
while Corn was running the motor
with one hand and holding his
fishing rod over his shoulder and
dragging his line behind the boat.
Then Herbs luck changed He be-
gan to catch fish. But that didn't
stop his wailing. The ones he caught
weren't big enough.
All at once Herb had a big one
He began to issue orders like gen.
eral at surprise battle.
Turn left! Get the net! Turn
right! Straight ahead!" he shouted.
P. l.. handed his rod to Corn. Corn
held his own rod between his knees,
held P. LIS rod in one hand, and
managed the boat with the other.
Herbs shouts grew louder as p. l..
stood up with the net and leaned
over to get the big one. Something
happened to throw the fish and
line into the motor on the boat.
The propeller cut the line and
the big one got away.
You did that on purpose" Herb
boOhooed. Just because you were
jealous"
1t didn't make any difference if
Herb did catch the biggest fish of
the day later on. He cried anyway.
P. S.-They packed their fish in
snow.

The debate was secret but it

for getting Finland from the war
had enjoyed some success.

the parliamentary group leaders
without a record vote approved a

Premier Prof. Edwin Linkomies
during the morning.
Linkomies spoke for 90 minutes,
presenting the government posi-
ton. Yesterday afternoon repreS-
entatives of six parties, altogether
20 men,, debated the speech and
foreign affairs for four hours.
Obviously since the debate was
closed and considering that Fin
