BABY MINDERS
MEN'S NEW CLUB
Six Government .servants —each a single man—have joined the Canberra Baby Minders’ Club (says the Australian Newsletter). They mind the babies of young couples who wish to go out for an evening. To pass the time they take their office worx along with them. Their ages are from 25 to 40. ■ z , .. , . Recently, one man pedalled nearly two miles on his bicycle to mind the year-old baby of a fellow-worker who wanted to see a play with his wife. He called the experience a “most successful night’s work.” Unlike the 40 women members of the club, the men are shy, and will not go to homes they do not know. “The men have made most successful baby-minders; but; after all, they should be grateful for the opportunity; it is good training,” says the club secretary.
