he Federal Works Agency,
Thomas r. Wells, superintendent
of the city school system under

due to the fact that the Pascal
goula and similar centers had

the calling in and redistribution
of the funds. Legislation TO make
possible new grants under the
Lanham Act is now in process
and, according to Mr. Wells, the
new appropriation should be
forthcoming before the expira-
ton date Of the present extern
sion.

TALLY self-supporting through
the weekly amount paid by each
Echild but these fees cover princi-
pally food for the children The
average cost per child is Sc a
week. according to Mr.. Wells,
and the largest fees collected are
from nursery school children Who
pay So weekly. The children Of
the day care division pay Sl.50

dren enrolled in the day care
program and 126 nursery school
children. The staff consists Of
20 teachers under the direction
of Miss Alice Battle.

duee expenditures as much as
possible without iinpaifing the

gram, the Gay care children Of

the three and a half to the five
year divisions.
The schools still in operation,
in addition to the Eastlawn Cen
ter, are the nursery school at
the Maritime project and the two
colored nurseries at Gulfdale and
Carver Village. The white trail
er school was closed last month.
The only children eligible UNI

Changing didies and growing q
garden has been my contribution tt
the war effort" smiled Mrs. Henry
Chandler. Actually, it has been q
good deal more than that. Mrs
Chandler Is one of the volunteers
who works regularly at the United
Nations Service Center Nursery and
vice chairman of the Nursery Com
mittee-and If you don't think that
the nursery is filling very vital
need in wartime you ought to talk
to some of the grateful mamas and
papas who have availed themselves
of its services!
Maybe you've heard about this
nursery. There's only one in Wash
ington like it-or any place else for
that matter. Since it opened little
over year ago, it has cared for
5 1865 babies. 1t caters to three groups
mothers in transit who come to
the nursery fright across from
Union Station) between trains.
Their visit may be anywhere from
Is minutes Qong enough to heat a
bottle) to 20 hours when the baby
is bathed and fed and allowed to
sleep in a comfortable small crib.
Second, it caters to wives of men
in nearby camps who come to Wash
ington to spend too-short-to-go-
home -three-day leaves with their
husbands and can safely and hap
PLY leave their babies at the nursery
knowing they'll be well cared for. j.. .
and, third, 1t caters to service pso-
pie moving to washington, who are
allowed to stay in the hotel five days
and can leave their children in the
nursery while the grownups go about
the difficult task of finding a more
permanent place to live.
How do people know about your
service?" we asked Mrs. Chandler.
A volunteer from the AWVS Motor
Corps meets every incoming train
at Union Station between the hours
of 9 am. and pm, she told us, and
many of the night trains. The
mothers and babies are taken by this
"AWVS Baby Ferrying Command"
to the nursery. In other cases the
mothers learn of the nursery from
the various information services in
the station. Also by word of mouth.
