An Auckland paper says: Several society women have clubbed together to contribute to the support and upkeep of "twelve war babies." They uofc only intend feeding and clothing the little mites have fallen whilo fighting fop the Empire, but they will pay for their schooling, clothing, and doctoring until they are 21. Then they will give them a start in life, ill whatever they show a particular liking for. The babies/will be girl 6, and each woman will, if possible, take a child that bears her own Christian name. These war babies will not be taken from tliei rmothers, but they will be entirely freed from the worry of everything, so that the mother will feel assured that her child has a fostermother who sees that she has absolute comfort, if not luxury, until she is 21. The loss of the father will not be felt as much as if the child was in straitened circumstances. It is good work.
