Says Veteran

The seriousness OF the mental
and nervous condition OF some OF
the boys returning from overseas
was indicated early this morning
when a call came to city police
that a man was preparing 10 leap
from the Michigan Avenue bridge
into the river.
Officers found him splashing
around in the shallow muddy water
and took him into custody.
1t was learned that he was a
marine who had seen service and
was wounded in the South Pacific
area. Keyed to high pitch from
what he had been through, he told
police he had reached a point
where he simply couldn't take it
any more"
The soldier, when he appeared
before Justice Arthur Vandersall,
was dismissed, and was taken home
when II was decided that he need
ed medical care, not punishment.

ed by a nursery teacher who ex.
planned the child care provisions to
her, stating that working mothers
desiring enrolment OF their chill
dren in the units must register
them at the school nursery Office.
In another instance. a mother
brought her child to the nursery
school with the impression that she
could leave him for any length of
