Child care
Sir, — For B. P. Lilburn’s Information, many rural areas do have part-time child-care in playcentres or playgroups where children have “pleasurable and explorative contact with adults, children and environments outside the immediate family circle.” The Women’s
Division of Federated Farmers is very concerned about the welfare of women and children, and shows this in a practical way by working for others instead of insisting on “doing their own thing.” Your report of the W.D.F.F. conference concerned only one matter which occupied a few minutes at the end of a conference of 400 women of all ages lasting four days and a half. What about the decisipn to establish a research fund for cot deaths, and the gift of $3900 to purchase monitoring mattresses for babies at risk? What about the announcement of W.D.F.F. bursary winners (awards to children from remote areas)? What about the remits on education, health, etc? Be fair, give the whole story. — Yours, etc., N. PEARSON, W.D.F.F. member, Darfield. July 24, 1980.
