Nurseries Reopening
In 145chooIs DELAYED
For Another Week

The IA public school day care
centers, already closed six weeks
face another weeks delay before
the plan of operation by a group OF
! mothers can be approved by three
official groups, c. Melvin Sharpe
| Board Of Education member, an
/ nounced last night.
Mr.. Sharpe had told number OF
mothers who marched" on his home
Thursday night to protest delay that
he hoped official steps could be
taken swiftly enough to open the
centerS tomorrow.
However, these steps still remain
he said last night.
l. The Community Chest must
approve the mothers detailed plan
for spending the $4,000 the chest
has allocated to them .in general
way.
2. The Board Of Education-pos-
sibly at its meeting Wednesday-also
must approve the detailed plan.
3. Then the District Commission
ers, notified of the approval of both
these groups, also must pass on the
plan.
Hopes for Quick Action.
Mr.. Sharpe, spokesman for the
board as chairman Of its Commun-
ity Use of Buildings Committee, said
he hoped the steps would all be
taken this week so that the nurs-
ersies can open April %. He said
that Herbert l.. Willett, executive
director of the chest, had indicated
his budget advisers probably will
have considered the plan before the
school board meeting Wednesday.
Eight centers on District and Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority
property have been continued since
Federal Works Agency funds were
withdrawn February %. However,
the IA centers in schools have been
closed since then due to legal COM
plications involved in charging fees,
paying teachers and acceptance of
liability for use of school buildings
by an incorporated group of mothers.
Drastic Steps Planned.
Mrs. Laura Warfleld, one Of the
mothers, told The Star earlier last
week that the long delay in approv-
ing their plan had caused the moth
ers untold anguish The mothers
plan to take some drastic action"
If the centers are not opened to
them soon, but she is not sure what
the action will be, Mrs. Warfield
said.
The mother said that many of the
children now being housed in private
homes and churches are Catching
