IF IT’S LAUGHS YOU'RE AFTER COMMUNICATION To the Editor of The Empire:| Two letters hav appeared recently in The Empire (one of them anonymous) criticizing the AW.V.S. For the .ak: of the people in Juncau wic swois end who are really sincere in their desire to help with tome of he problems in town we are send- ing in this reply. The letter of Mr. Bond, recently arrived in town, asked why our Dry Nursery is not carried on all day instead of from 1 to 5 and saying that he thought the nursery was supposed to help “the working mother” and not the “gallivanting mother. “""Mr. Bond probably doss not know that the nursery as originally started was conducted from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the benefit of mothers working in the war effort. But the difficulty of getting people to carry | it on for that period finally made us akandon the longer period. At that time in order to carry on the nursery and. cook the luncheon on electric plates and wash the dishes, we secured the services of four women, a former teacher, a former former trained nurse and a mother who knew quite a bit about kin- dergarten work. We paid these women for their time and in order that they should not become too exhausted, had them work five hours at a time, but each only 15 hours a week. Mothers who volun- teered helped them; but the volun- tary help was never sufficient and one by one each of the paid work- ers became too exhausted and gave up. When school was over and baby sitters again were available we closed the nursery for the sum- mer. Since then we have conducted the nursery through the school months only, from 1 pm. to 5 p.m. and carried it along with voluntary help alone, with the added incen- tive that any mother who served her turn helping one day could put in her ‘children free of charge the four remaining days of the week. Even with this incentive we have found it difficult to find enough cooperating mothers to carry on the work and the money which comes in from the mothers who ratronize the nursery but do not kelp in taking their part is not do not know the an-; dietician, a| !cncugh to pay for Kkindergarten | supplies, replacement and repair of |toys and the fruit juices served {each afternoon. So each mother now pays a small amount to cover fruit juices. From time to time we have a benefit for the replacement of equipment. Anytime we have enough cooper- fating mothers to make it an all day affair again we can do so— even though it is very difficult to jcarry on an all day nursery or ! the top floor of a home and with- lout adequate kitchen facilities. We have tried to find more suitable !quartcrs tut to date have had no | success. We have several children whose mothers are gainfully employed. Also in regard to helping “the working mother,” we think that the mothers who stay home and take care of their children and do | the housework certainly have as much right to be called “working mothers” as the women who occupy full time positions in offices. [ As for the anonymous letter ask- ing why we entertain the officers and not the crews of visiting ships, evidently the writer does not know that we have always signified our willingness to take our turn with other women's organizations de- i signated by the Mayor in conduct- | Colt Sportsman automatic gestions and constructive criticism and particularly voluntary help— toth for the Nursery and the Hos- p-tality Committee.
