groups, sororities, and frater¬
nities. Mrs. Ruby Gadson,

Mrs. Samuel Varnedoe, presi¬
dent of the Children’s Council,
Inc., which was sponsoring a-
gent of the centers under Lan-
ham funds, Was present and
explained the reasons why the!
council has not reapplied for,
Lanharn funds. The main
rea on being that thrj govern¬
ment limited the attendance in
those schools to children whlise
mothers wife employed in war
industries and it has [been im¬
possible to meet the requii- >-
ments of an average atten-
danul of twenty five children
under his limitation.
In answer to a letter from

assistance of the council in se
curing aid from tl)i Communi
ty Chest to maintain the Belser
center as a permanent day
care, (' inter in the community,
Mrs. Varnedoe advised tha»
this council could have no in
fluencM in this direction now.
Sh( challenged the group to ex
periment for the next six
months in running a center by
making use of facilities pro¬
vided at the Feilwood center
which include fine shelter, fu
el,Mights and equipment. If
at l'4> end ol that period it, is
is found that there is a deli,
nitc need for a children’s cen
ter then application can be
made foi Community Chest
funds with a lavorahle recom
mendat on from the council.
