By LOUISE FLETCHER

Mother, with her war job, is holding the homefront lines until Daddy comes back some day. But what's to become of small

Mary, that important mite whose ultimate welfare is the chief concern of both Daddy and Mother? Who will see that she has a warm lunch and takes her nap while mother’s at work? Who will wash her smudged face and hands . . . play with her . , . teach her to play with other. children? The Indianapolis Day Nursery's Junior auxiliary has an answer for those questions. It is: “We'll help.” ” ” EJ EVER SINCE THE Thirties, this group of young women has been helping at the rambling structure on Lockerbie st. which houses the Indianapolis Day nursery. It has helped not only with financial contributions, but also with time and willing hands. Today the auxiliary members are meeting the challenge of wartime conditions . . . conditions that have led to an increase of more than 33 per cent in the number of children attending the nursery. At the present time more than 100 children are being given care. In the past, many of the youngsters came from broken homes for which the mother was the only wage earner. Others were enrolled because their mothers were ill or their fathers, left-alone, re= quired day care for their children. In still other. cases, the necessity of the mother’s working to supplement the family income made nursery care imperative.

DADDY'S AT THE FRONT,

Now there have been added the children whose fathers have gone off to war and those whose parents, both mother and father, are in war industries. # ” »

‘Farm Wives Ought to Get ‘E’ Awards’

By. ROSEMARY REDDING “Anybody who lays down his plow or her kitchen utensils today is just as guilty of treason as the soldier or sailor who doesn’t do his duty,” Governor Schricker told Indiana farm women this morning. He spoke at the 13th annual conference of the social and educational department of the Indiana Farm bureau in the Claypool hotel. He told members that while they could not make the bombs and the bullets for “our hoys” they could keep ’em fed. “We can do nothing on an empty stomach. Without food, we cannot fight, we cannot produce. There is nothing more essential than food ! today,” he said. “If I had my way about it,” he said, “I would like to pin the “E” badge of excellence in production on every farmer and farm wife'in Indiana.” He made a plea for greater participation in “good government” and the organization’s participation in “preserving justice and right among men.” Banquet Tonight | “In charging the women with the. responsibility of helping win the, war, he pointed out that the re-| sponsibility would be even greater . “in the reconstruction period.” | “The brotherhood of man is my only solution to the problems which will arise after the war,” he said. | “What do we need most this morn-. Ving? I would say a revival of the spiritual values of our people.” | More than ‘a thousand women usually attend the conference, which will continue through tomorrow, but because of gas rationing that is being cut just about in half.
