HOME BLOWN AWAY
SYDNEY FAMILY’S PLIGHT. Although most mothers are anxious to return home from hospital with their new babies as soon as possible, one patient in the Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney prefers her bed in the ward, for her husband rang up to say that his house had been blown away! The family had been living at an unemployment camp in a tent, and in the recent* storms the frail shelter was torn down.
Three other children were taken to a home. The mother was due to leave just after the storm, but the hospital executive was asked to allow her to stay until the camp was reorganised. Meanwhile the baby thrives, unconscious that the gale removed its mother’s rooftree.
