BABY WEEK.
This was held on the 29th and 30th June and the 1st and 2nd
of July, Garden Parties being held at St. George's Hall, Freezywater,
and the Red Triangle Club, Church Street, Enfield.
We were fortunate in having fine weather on all occasions,
and the mothers and children spent a very enjoyable time, the
total number attending being 1,537.
For those mothers attending the Infant Welfare Centres, competitions
were held and prizes were presented at the Garden Parties.
