Circle Hears ak
On Extra Babies
By Gretchen Smith
women's Club Editor,

Obstacles which an unwed mother
in the District must face when seek
ing legal support for her child from
The father were explained to mem
bers of the Wesley Heights Circle,
Florence Crittenton Home in a talk
yesterday by Capt. Rhoda Milliken,
head of the Women's Bureau. Metro
politan Police.
Addressing the group following
luncheon at the Parrot Tea Room,
Capt. Milliken made a warm plea
for the numerous extra babies"
which, she commented, Washing
ton has like every other COM
munity.
"The laws covering the question
of paternal support of babies born
out of wedlock were passed some-.
time back in the 60's,' Capt. Milli-
ken said. "They were made at that
time to protect the District and not
the baby. Now, no matter how cul-
pable the mother or the father may
be, that baby is human being and
when it arrives here it has right
to decent living. The laws of the
District making paternal support OF
these children compulsory are OBJ
solete and involved" q 4.
Capt. Milliken made. a strong ap-
peal also for keeping mothers and
babies together" as much as possible
rather than placing the babies in
foster homes or for adoption. She
told how frequently the childhood
and adolescence of adopted children
is frustrated because of their con-
sciousness of adoption and she said
also that 'the mother who places
her baby for adoption carries that
thought with her always"
Reports made by officers of the
Wesley Heights Circle revealed ex-
pansion of membership and salts
factory bank account. 1t was
pointed out that the circles of the
Florence Crittenton Home provide
needs of girls in the home which
are not covered by the funds allo-
Gated by the Community Chest.
These needs include dental care and
materials for occupational therapy
such as knitting. Yarn is provided
for knitting after the girls have COM
pleted their daily chores and many
of them knit garments needed for
their babies
A resolution appropriating $100
for the nurse fund" at the home,
which assures adequate nursing care
at all hours for the girls, was
adopted unanimously at the meet
ing.
Reports were read by Mrs. Seth
Richardson, corresponding Secre-
tary; Mrs. Bruce Kraemer, treasurer;
Mrs. John Miller, recording secre-
tary, and Mrs. r. c. Curtin, board
member. Mrs. E. Barrett Pretty
man, wife of Justice Prettyman Of
the Court of Appeals, who is presi-
dent of the circle, presided and
introduced the speaker.
