BABY CLINIC STARTS
HERE MONDAY

An inquiry reporter might ask
the first three women he met
whether they know how to diaper
a baby. If given chance to show
how they would do it, three en-
tirely different methods might be
used.
Nurse Ethel w. Ransom, R.N.
of the Baby Development Clinic,
will be in Dayton next week at
Adler & Childs store, to give moth
ers and fathers-to-be pointers on
how to bathe, dress and carry a
baby. In fact, she covers the care
of the baby from Stork days to
School days.
Among many of her practical
helps, she demonstrates how to
fold and apply a neat, we'll fitting
diaper.
Those proud parents who attend
will feel quite proficient after at
tending the Baby Development
Clinic program. The hour spent
with Nurse Ransom might easily
be termed peek ahead into the
first six years of their child's de-
velopment.
Her talk, illustrated by the full
color film Babies Can Be Fun"
will prove a pleasant as we'll as
informative program.
Programs will be given the week
of September II, Tuesday, Thurs
day and Friday at 10 80 a. m. and
2:30 p. m., Monday and Wednes-
day at 2:30 and 7:30 p. m.-and
