(iv) The Centre.
The Centre is held at the School Clinic in Grange Road,
which was described in the Annual Report for 1931.
As before, the meetings are held on Tuesdays and
Fridays, when Dr. Olive Aubrey attends, and much valuable
help is given by many voluntary workers.

In necessitous cases, babies and nursing mothers are
provided with free milk on the recommendation of the presiding
medical officer.
Careful investigation is made into the circumstances of
each case to ascertain whether it falls in with the approved
scale, and when recommended it is endorsed by the Medical
Officer of Health and approved by the Committee.
Dried milk is supplied at cost price:
There is an excellent Clothing Stall at which 46 mothers
have purchased 107 garments during the year.
The sale of National Savings Certificates at the Centre
has been continued, with the result that 35 mothers have
invested £15 12s. 2d. during the year.
Baby Week was held during the week commencing
Sunday, July 1st, when special announcements were made
in the local Churches and Sunday Schools.
The Centre was open to visitors on Tuesday and Friday,
when Miss Fischer gave most interesting and instructive
addresses on the value of milk as a food.
