In 1955 'reche sup- porters witnessed the opening of their new building. Within three years, remarked Mrs. G. B. Launches. a member of the Creche board of directors. through Creche balls (still held annually at the Royal York hotel) and other fund raising venture: the mortgage was completely paid oft. Cradleahip Creche is unique in many respects. For one, just about half of its little children come from homes where the mother alone is the bread winner. For another, it has one teacher for every 10 tots compared to a public schoorratio of one teacher for every 30 pupils. The tiny school also employs a full time social worker to assist and understand the whole family. Perhaps its most unique quality is its gradual admission program. When a child enrolls his mother must stay with him for a minimum of three days and frequently as long as two " three weeks. This way the school, parent and child get to know one another.

On this score Miss Pearl can rhyme off I convincing set of statistics 1 mile long. Instead she prefers to tell you about the sad consequences " not having enough day care nurseries. If Italian parents both have to work and haven't found someone to care for their younger chiifir:en, they sometimes will keep the 14-year-old daughter home trom school. Muny professional baby sitters are only inter- ested in income and will keep a two or three-year-old in a erib all day where he is no bother. Others will lock 1 child in a mom while they clean house and concentrate on "more important" things. ' Att I twig is bent, so the tree grows.

The invitation was extended during I Metro budget session. The idea did not particularly appeal to Metro police commis- sion chairman Charles o. Dick or Police Chief James Hickey and somehow in the confusion of dell- ing with other matters the police officials managed to leave with- out disclosing the figures. They did say that if crime does show any increase in any one Metro borough they do assign more police officers to that area. Metro police do not like to dite close the crime rate within in- dividual municipalities. They claim it only stirs up den-nth for more police and more service.
