Sharing Worries
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter) LONDON. When baby is not well, when the family cat or dog is missing, when a favourite recipe goes wrong, or when a husband is difficult, women in the Thames-side towns of Walton and Weybridge pick up the telephone and pour their troubles into the “Friendly Ear.” This is a helping-hand service run by the local branch of the National Childbirth Trust for mothers, particularly young mothers and mothers-to-be. Four “Friendly Ear” telephone numbers are listed in the service. By each telephone sits a woman ready to help or counsel the harassed. One of them has six children of her own.
