Foster Homes
Sir, —In reply to Mrs Lyons comment on my letter, as far as I can see it is not segregation at all; it is more likely to breed more young criminals. A child from our district is in a family home, because of his parents’ broken marriage. This child was home for a day recently, when the children in the neighbourhood told him they were not allowed to play with him because he was sent to the child welfare for thieving. Mrs Lyons should know some children are easily led into doing wrong if their roommates are stronger-minded.— Yours, etc., ADOPTED. January 24, 1967.
Sir,—“Trained Nurse” complains about spinsters coming out to visit the homes. I think people should be thankful that there are single people available for this work. I have had a grandmother (a very young one) and a mother officer visiting me. 1 also have had a spinster, and could not find anything wrong with them. I have four children of my own and one adopted.—Yours, etc., NOT TRAINED NURSE. January 24, 1967.
