THE FOSTER DAY CARE OF CHILDREN WITH tt'ORKlNG MOTHERS

Just a few years ago we were all thrilled by learning that at I large :hildren's hospital. the lonely in- fants and children were being cud- iled by the nurses just as their nothers would have cuddled them. Most. of us can hardly grasp what oneliness must mean to the mother- .ess child.

Now that so many mothers must work. it is gratifying to learn of the various volunteer agencies that try to look after or help to pay to have the child of the working mother cared for while she is at work. In many cases. the city authorities look after these children in lame houses or institutions and in other cities there are several such homes.

if Health. the magazine published by the Canadian Health League. a letter is published. written by Mrs. A. C. Smith. Executive Director of the Foster Day Care Association. of Vancouver. 8. C. which cares for the children of mothers en- gaged in dailv work This agency began in 1932 after the former City Creche had closed. "The Creche had operated as I large central day nursery in the down- town area and here, working moth- ers from all parts of the city brought their children in the early morning on their way to work and then trudged back at close of day to pick them up before wendlng their weary way home. However, in July 1932, the University Women's Club and the Graduate. Nurses As- sociation decided to try out the idea. of using private homes in- stead of one central nursery. This Association has been operating now for over 19 years and has proved most satisfactory.

Most parents can readily under- stand the great advantage of the private foster home, compared to the former creche, in 'the great saving of time and energy on the part of the working mother and her child. aside from transportation expenses.

"Those day care homes are loc- sted all over the city, as near as pculblo to the child's own home." Parents go to their work without worry of being able to keep their home and children i.oget.her.

The Association chooses carefully the foster home where the child sponlk most of his waking hours. The child is at home with his own family nights and weekends.

In regard to fees: all the work- in; mothers pay something. how- ever small. toward their children's duly cue, the agency helping when necessary. The foster mother re- ceives 31.00 per day. The Commun- ity Chest (Red Feather) pays the gutter portion of the necessary finances and there is a yearly grant from the city.

I am passing this information along as it is a real step forward from the City Creche. located in one central situation. These foster mothers learn to love these child- ren and often follow their careers to manhood and womanhood.

The way meat prices are slip- ping in most parts of the country to "groaning board" will prevail pin most homes this Thanksgiving.

The old-fashioned phrase means that across Canada dining-room tables will fairly "groan" beneath the weight of meats, vegetables. fruits and desesrts prepared for this festive occasion.

Roast turkey will head the menu in many homes. particularly in Newfoundland where it still is re- garded as the most. popular Thanksgiving dish and this year is selling for 80 cents a pound.

Chicken Too

Chicken will be king in ouher spots. In Ontario a good roasting chicken can be obtained for 59 cents a pound.

But in many parts the recent decline in meat prices may see families enjoying their first roast in months. Around Sarnia and in other parts of Ontario beef is selling for between 69 cents for lower-grade cuts to 85 cents for porterhouse. A good rib roast of beef could be bought recently ill Toronto for as low as 60 cents a pound.

Pumpkin Time

Pumpkin pie is a.”natural" as a Thanksgiving dessert. 1

Ingredients: 11,9 cups pumpkin;i one cup brown sugar (firmly packed); three eggs well beaten: one teaspoon salt: one teaspoon cinnamon; one-half teaspoon gin- ger; one cup milk; one-half cup cream.

Mix in order given and bake in deep nine-inch shell at 400 de- grees for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees and: bake 40 minutes longer or until? finished.

Company Snacks

With company coming it's a good idea to make certain there's food handy for quick snacks.

Here is 9. recipe for a banana cake which should prove tasty.

Eating Habits Vary

Most: families eat all three meals in the kitchen or breakfast-nook. a recent survey of Canadian eat-' mg habits has found.

The survey, conducted among a cross-section of Canadian house- wives by 9. large food company. found that one-fourth more Can- adian families serve meat or fowl than in the U. 8., and twice as many serve fish, but. only one- half as many serve sandwiches.

Almost two-thirds of our fami-. lies serve tea as compared to one out of six in the U. S. But. in the U. 5, there are three times as many serving coffee as there are in Canada.

ANSWER: A first love is usually more of a symptom than an emotion. Its most apparent pro- ducliveness lies in the daydreams it engenders. and tnese can go on-at least on the feminine side- indefinitely.

Can you honestly think of s more wasteful pastime than mooning over someone you knew ten ;.'c-urs ago? The only way to get rid of the in- sidious growth is to root it out. and supplant it with some worthwhile activity. Very apparently. your household chores offer insufficient menial stimulation. and the thing for you to do is get out and dive head- long into something that will keep you so busy you'll have no time ot sigh over past loves.

LOST BEAU

DEAF. MISS DIX: I am 14 and for about a year have been going with n boy my age. We wrote each other all summer while he was away; now that he has returned, he seems to have changed. He isn't as friendly as he was, and has been going around with another girl. I still like him, and would like to win him back.

3 S. P.

ANSWER: Roth you and the boy will find many friends. per- haps many sweethearts. before you settle down for good. Be friendly when you see him, don't greet him with questions or reproaches, and look around for another beau.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am in love with a man and wonder if he loves me. We had several misunderstandings. after which he began to break dates. He has asked me to marry him, but I wonder if he would make a good husband.

LUCILE

ANSWER: I'm afraid marriage is nctfsdvised where you both are apparently so quick-tempered and stubborn. You have chased him enough. now you should sit back and let him make the apologies. Perhaps he has learned a lesson, and would be a good husband. but it's doubtful.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am in love with a boy of 20 who is in the army. I have been writing to him for six months, and when I told him I was handicapped. he stopped writing.

JULIE T. O.

ANSWER: Apparently you and boy had never met. but simply struck up a correspondence friendship. Hence. he is evaluating you only on surface qualities. Since he has little knowledge of your char- acter and personality. your handicap is. to him, much more import- ant than it would be if he really knew you.

Furthermore. he is A very young boy, and youth has little under- standing of imperfection. Don't let this one disappointment hurt you. for you will meet other men of finer perception.

DEAR MISS DIX: My husband loves crime stories on the radio. and will sit for two or three hours listening to them. Why does he waste so much time on foolishness when there are so many fine broadcasls7 We have only three rooms, no doors and I cannot get away from these tales. Dont you think he is inconsiderate to keep -me from hearing the things I like?

MRS. B. A. W.

ANSWER: When two people of divergent tastes must share the same radio. there are bound to be hard feelings when one or the other monopolizes the speaker. If your husband conceded your right to hear broadcasts you like. he would probably do it so grudgingly that you would have no enjoyment from the concession.

Why not cease trying for a compromise and settle for another radio? The problem of no doors presents quite an obstacle. but not an insuperabis one. one doorway, or a corner of the room. with a lining and interlinlng. This will shut out a surprising amount of interference and. if your husband will be considerate enough to turn his machine low. you should have no difficulty in listening to programs you like.
