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 within 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 110
mothers have purchased 304 garments during the year.
During the year the sale of National Savings Certificates
was resumed and was well supported.
Baby week was held from 4th to 10th July. Special
announcements were made in the local Churches and Sunday
Schools, and the Centre was open to Visitors on Tuesday
and Friday.
The Day Nursery in Canbury Park Road was open
daily to visitors.
On Thursday, July 8th, a Garden Party was given
at St. Peters' Vicarage, where the mothers and infants
spent a most enjoyable afternoon.
(e) Dental Treatment.
The work was carried out at the School Clinic by
Mr. H. A. L. Morris, the School Dentist, and Dr. O. G.
Aubrey acted as ansethetist.
It was considered advisable to make appointments for
patients to attend for treatment at the termination of
regular School Dental Sessions, rather than hold separate
Maternity and Child Welfare Sessions, until such time as
the numbers demanded the latter course.
