Confessions
Of a Baby-Sitter's
Mother
BY IENNIFER L. BARRETT

other side of town. During the
evening the woman next door was
summoned to care for a sick rela-
tive. Linda was hastily recruited
to stay with two exceptionally live
ly preschool children. While she
was helping them into their pa
jamas, Johnny, the 3-year-old, es-
capped stark naked into the street.
Linda went after him, embarrassed
and lettering on her high heels.
Johnny climbed tree next door,
quickly drew a cheering crowd. A
kind neighbor got a ladder and
went up after him.
Once Johnny was in bed, Linda,
following instructions, poured
some orange juice from a pitcher
for 5-year-old jamie. jamie COM
planned about the orange juice.
Linda tasted. 1t was awful. Il think
Johnny put shampoo in il" jamie
suggested helpfully.
Linda woke up Johnny. Did
you put shampoo in Janie's orange
juice?"
mo shampoo" he answered,
"shoe polish" and slipped back
to sleep.
When Linda got back to the
kitchen, the orange juice was gone.
Il drank it," jamie explained. Linda
rushed to the phone to look up
the doctors number. At the last
minute, jamie changed her story.
There it is" she said. And indeed
it was, a nice, orange puddle inside
the grey flannel hat to Johnny's
good Elton suit.
On her return home, the mother
asked Linda to sit again. Linda
suddenly remembered she was ter
ribly busy. Il have such bad luck
getting sitters," the mother said.
AS a mother, l am always amazed

IF YOU'RE NERVOUS and jittery
i when you leave your children
on a Saturday night in the care of
a teen-age baby sitter, l know
someone who is even more jittery.
Me. I'm the mother of the baby
sitter. And | bet | call your house
more times than you do, just to
make sure everything's OK.
No, my daughter isn't giddy or
likely to panic in an emergency.
She has taken a course in sitting
at the YWCA. She knows all about
first aid. In fact, she's so uncom-
monty mature for her IS years, /
don't bother to worry about fires,
burglars, accidents, or the standard
disasters from which a sitter is ex-
pected to protect her charges.
Linda will do just as well as the
next girl.
My fears are more specialized:
semigrown crocodileS in the bath
tub and 16 hamsters escaped from
their cages an elderly grand
mother arriving day early for a
visit and locked out on a snowy
January night because Linda was
forbidden to open the door on any
account an amorous, drunken
father driving my daughter home at
3 in the morning and blithely steer
ing the car across the lawn and
flower beds right up to the porch
steps child SO unmanageably
savage his mother should have
hired an off-duty cop instead of
high-school girl to mind him.
Linda has survived all these occu-
pational hazards, and more. But /
am still shaken.
l remember the night Linda
came home aShen. Wearing her
best dress and high-heeled shoes,
she'd gone to visit her aunt on the

POLITICAL FUND-RAIsING
KimboII Firm Asks
Gifts of Employees

SACRAMENTO, Calf, May
10 (AP).-A California rocket
engine firm wants its employees
TO back their political beliefs
with their pocketbooks.
The experiment is getting a
lot Of attention, both from
hard-presSed political fun d
raiserS and from other indus
tries. Two weeks ago Ford
Motor Co. announced a some
what similar program, under
which its 152,0OO employees were
urged to support the party of
their choice. Collection boxes
for donations were placed in
all Ford plants.
Aerojet-General Corp, which
has previous experience in the
field, is going all out this presi-

Sacramento plant iavored d
Democrats 81, but the Azusa
plant, which also is headquar-
ters for the higher paid CORP
crate executives, favored Re-
publicans 5-4.
MT. Kimban himself kicked
of the campaign with a $500
contribution, eaTmaTked 500
for Clair Engle's Senatorial
campaign and 500 fbr Edmund
@. Browns bid for Governor.
This was countered promptly
by a $500 gift to the Republi-
cans by the firms executive
vice president, Arthur H. Rude,
longtime COP. leader in the
State.
Mr.. Kimball inadvertently in
creased the Republican total
by asking contributions from
members of the Board Of Di-
rectors of General Tire & Rub
Der Co., Aerojet's parent corp
oration. Thirteen 500 checks
came by return mail-11 of
them for the COP. cause.
"We kept the campaign on
the level" he says. There
was no pressure of any kind
direct or indirect-to contribute
to any particular party, candi-
date or cause"
Wide Distribution Range
He supports this by noting
that less than half the money
given went to California's top
candidates in the 1858 elections.
Gov. Brown received $3,867 go
and Senator Engle $2,879.72.
while their losing Republican
counterparts, william F. Know
land and Goodwin ]. Knight,
received $2,735.34 and $1,088.-
81. respectively.
The balance of the money
was designated by the donors
to party treasures and a wide
variety of local candidates.
There were contributions, too,
to campaigns in New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colo
RADIO. Oregon and other States
where some Of the firms tech
nical workers formerly lived.
Aerojet has had so many in
quiries about its plan from big
name corporations that it has
had to print a detailed brochure.
One of the sidelights that now
interests Mr.. Kimball. however,
Is how closely the 1858 contri-
buttons paralleled the election
returns.

But don't ask Mr.. Kimball
where the money is going this
year-to Vice President Nixon,
Senator Kennedy, or whoever.
We don't disclose the results
until after the election" he
says.

registered In four Gays and
SIS. 900 was sent from 1900
employees to political Golfers
all the way from California to
New York.
Mr.. Kimball. who spent III
years as Secretary Of the Navy
during the Truman administra-
ton. hopes the contributions
this year viii average $5 per
employe.
From those making SIS, 900
year or more, he expects an
average of 500 each.
That's not too much to pay
for democracy" he says.
Mr.. Kimball, himself well-to-
do and a frequent target of
political money seekers, con-
tends it is mainly wealthy men
with political interests who A.
nance campaigns.
That they should expect
special consideration in re-
turn is inevitable" he says.
IF 100 companies would do
what we're doing, we could
underwrite all political cam
paigns in the State without
these damn fund-raising &
drives"
And the elected candidates,
being financed by a lot Of small
contributions instead Of q few
big ones, wouldn't be obligated
to anyone, he adds.
But despite these arguments
and a starry eyed label Of good
citizenship campaign" the plan
ran into some stiff resistance
from employees at both of the
company's plants, here and at
Azusa, in Southern California
Almost automatically, en-
ployeS fired these questions at
supervisors:
What's the gimmick? What's
Kimball getting out Of this? Is
everybody supposed to contrib
ute to the Democrats just be-
cause he's a big party wheel?
Whats in il for Aeroiet 90
Even this year, one worker
wrote the firm president directly
to say:
The program is more or less
mandatory and antidemocratic
. 1t is regarded by many
with suspicion and outright
antagoniSm. Employees don't
know their money went where
it was intended.

There's nothing mandatory
about the drive, but every en-
ploye got a memo from the

The audit showed gifts to-
falling $13,206.50 to the Demo-
cratic Party and its candidates,
and $10,991.83 to the Repub-
licans. Other parties, includ-
