The superintendent and staff OF

Illustration. finances. feeding and
the feeling of sadness that comes
from having to turn away other
children because there is no more
room.
The Welfare Department. for
the first time in its history. has
had to give notice that the build
ings at 5000 Loughborough road
NV. are so overcrowded that ad-
ditional neglected children cannot
be accepted at this time.
The welfare authorities will
enlist the aid of private agencies
in the crisis. a spokesman said
today. to take care of children for
whom there is no room in the
annex. They also will try to
locate relatives who might take
the youngsters and to find ad-
ditional foster homes.
Routine Continues.
At United Community Services
it was said everything possible
would be done through the
private agencies to alleviate the
situation.
Supt. Gerald Shea and Miss
Winifred Thompson. the assistant
superintendent. along with their
associates at the annex, are taking
the situation in stride.
The stride itself is necessarily
at a much faster clip. 1t must
keep up such routine" schedules
as bathing children. preparing
food formulas for IA babies, trying
to maintain comparative quiet
when four or five infants are
cribbed and confined in three tiny
rooms. It also must see that the
older youngsters up to l3 gel
schooling. clean clothing. neces-
sary sleep and healthful play.
10 Children Hospitalized.
On top of this an outbreak ol
measles has sent 10 of the l4s
children to Gallinger Hospital. Tht
annex has no isolation or treat
ment facilities. Supt. Shea say.
he is not worried about the chill
dren because the measles attack Il
mild. But practically all OF then
are likely to come back to thu
annex within a few days "all al
once" he predicts.
Inability of the annex u
receive more children at this time
has raised at least two further
questions: What can be done te
improve the situation and whai
happens to children who cannot
be cared for at the annex now?
Welfare and other officials say
frankly they do not know the
answers. Children cared for In
the annex are neglected or de-
pendent and not necessarily
abandoned.
Mrs. Robin Miller, head of the
child welfare division of the We'll

of cases.

Less than d hours before the
ban had to be ordered on further
admissions at the annex. eight

even to the casual observer that
the day of reorganization is at

Charles E. Kellogg, chief of the

curity Division. said, "It will do
no good to scream and tear our
hair about the overcrowding,
about the low yields and about
soil depletion. These problems
are manageable II we could some
how get our economic and insti-
tutional problems solved"
He said also it would be physi-
cally and bioglogically possible to
meet the food needs of the world
on the land now cultivated
through agricultural systems al
ready being practiced by good
farmers. With these increases
and with the new land we could
far exceed the need for 1860"
he said.

in the hotel, that, If our capi-
talism means maximum pro-
duction and maximum opporturl-
ity. it must not be restricted to
Americans alone.
Paradoxically. foreigners fear
whether American capitalists are
going to be capitalistic enough. he
said.
IF we are to lend abroad we
must buy abroad, DR.. Wright said,
I"If we are to ask other countries

we must have some responsibility

to 60 to the hospital for an emer-
gency operation.
As for others who at this time
will ask to be admitted. Mrs. Mil
Ter remarked: I'VE simply will
have to tell them we don't have
the facilities"
Crowded conditions in other
institutions and the difficulty of
finding more foster homes have
greatly intensified the situation
at the annex, staff officials ex-
planned.
But the annex operates day and
night with staff actually OF even
less impressive size than its 80.
That number includes three en-
gineers, three cooks. dining
room waitress. three teachers di-
rected by Carl Oliver. two nurses
and an Office clerk. as we'll as Miss
Thompson.
Laundry on 24-Hour Basis.
The employees work 40 hours a
week. but facilities such as the
laundry have to be kept in motion
on a 24-hour basis to assure clean
clothing for the extra children.
The budget, originally designed
for fewer than 100 children, also
gives Supt. Shea plenty Of head
aches, he said. The food budget,
for instance. had to be cut from
SO cents a day per child to some
where in the Sos" although the
economy menus" continue TO
provide adequate sustenance. Mr..
Shea reported. ...
The bathing procedure is really
something. Miss Thompson ex-
planned. The comparatively few
attendants available for that duty
have their hands full Of children
and soap most Of two days every
week, and In addition wash all the
little heads at least once a week.
The overcrowding has done away
with the isolation center formerly
used to house newcomers. The
space that cared for 10 children
awaiting physical examination and
personal interviews had to be
changed over to sleeping quarters,
Play Space Cramped.
Some 70 older children sleep
three. and sometimes four. in a
small room with double-decker
beds and floor cots In Shaw House
The IA infants also are In that
building. Another So Of the chill
dren from 3 to 8 are similarly
accommodated in Dunbar House.
The old Lincoln House Is used for
school purposes. with class groups
OF about IS each. The need for
giving more time to the increased
number of children has prevented
much structural improvement
work. Mr.. Shea said.
Recreation Is no particular prob
lem in pleasant weather. But the
available space for playing indoors
Is greatly cramped. The individual
attention goal. especially I'm the
school classes. Is hard 10 attain.
Even under normal capacity con-
ditions ii Is difhcult because of the
varied intelligence, temperments
and ages Of the children. Mr..
Oliver said.
Miss Thompson summed up the
situation at the annex as follows:
Ordinarily this is the incest
kind Of work In caring for these
kind OF neglected children. But
when you continually have 70 fight
increasing numbers. you have no
time for other programs and
projects that could make the
annex so much better =
