GRANDPARENTS WATCH RESULTS OF BABY TESTS

During the three days of examinations for the Richmond Better. Baby contest, not one abnormal child has been found. This morning, two of the babies who had been registered, failed to appear for examination. These are the first that have not been brought to the headquarters. The committee believes that these will be brought in later. It may be that since they have missed their turn, the babies will not be examined. The only way that they can get into the contest again is for the mothers to take the babies . to the Social Service bureau rooms and wait for some time when the examiners have a few spare moments, in which to score them. Babies Rank High. This morning all babies submitted tor examination were of a high standard physically. Grandmothers especially are taking an active interest in the competition. In several instances the proud grandparents accompany the mother and child. Most of the mothers who have children who score high say they give their babies plenty of chances to get fresh air. The one which scored the highest today, has practically lived in the open air all summer. The mother Informed the committee that the child Bleeps out of doors during the summer months in a cot beside its parents. Examinations will not be completed until late Saturday night.
