Mothers Compliance
with Nursery Dictum

The Commissioners today were to
consider the request for approval of
a program to operate % child day.
care centers until June 80 by cor
poration of mothers now ready
willing and financially able" to carry
ouA any reasonable requirements"
they may have.
The request was fled last night
by Harry S. Wender, attorney for
the group, who told the city heads
in his letter that the corporation
was formed here March 6. He added
that 1t is backed by an authorize
ton from the Community War Fund
of up to $4,000 to carry the centers
through the rest of the fiscal year
He also said that certain diff
culties which had previously caused
the Commissioners some concern,
especially in connection with ter
minal leave due some of the teach
ers, have now been ironed out.
Since February 28, when Federal
funds for the project expired, the
mothers have sought some means of
continuing the centers, which had
been operated under the auspices Of
the Board of Education. The Com
missioners declined to ask for a de-
ficiency appropriation to take on the
project until June 80 and suggested
instead that the mothers form q
group to operate on as near a self
sustaining basis as possible. They
suggested that in the event of q
deficit the mothers appeal to the
Community Chest.
Mr.. Wender said the mothers have
now complied with the suggestions
OF the city heads and urged speedy
approval Of the proposed program
to permit early reopening of the
centerS.
Meanwhile, the Board of Educa-
ton yesterday again declined to per-
init reopening OF the IA centers
which were housed in school build
