Infant Welfare Centres.
The Infant Welfare Centres have, as in previous years, been
carried on very economically owing to the assistance which ladies
in the town have voluntarily given. At the llford Lane Centre one
of the ladies has carried on a clothing club since 1921, to which
mothers could contribute small sums weekly and withdraw the whole
or part of their contributions as necessity arose. During 1931,
£22 11s. 0d. was saved by 29 mothers.
