Australian Baby Sitters May Form Their Own Union
Canberra, Australia—(U.P.) The federal executive of the Australian Labor party wants baby sitting classified as an occupation.
Members feel that the occupation of baby sitter has become of national importance. They also want baby sitters to be provided through the government's employment service.
A. S. McAlphin, president of the A. L. P., said if an award is made for baby sitters, they would come under the Miscellaneous Workers' union.
Tri Alpha Petition Accepted; Alpha Phi Becomes 13th Sorority
The petition of nearly 50 members of Alpha Alpha Alpha. University of Kansas local social group, for installation as a chapter of Alpha Phi international sorority, was granted by the sorority's national board Tuesday.
Members of Tri Alpha will be formally pledged on Sunday, Dec. 18, at the Alpha Phi chapter house, Washburn college, in Topeka. Alpha Phi will be the 13th national sorority at K.U.
Mrs. R. E. Ming, Alpha Phi district governor from Bellaire, Tex., will conduct the pledging service.
Alpha Phi sorority was founded at the University of Syracuse in 1872. The second chapter was established at Northwestern university nine years later.
Alpha Phi was the first women's fraternity to build and occupy a
chapter house. It was the first to have a visiting delegate system and to complete a $50,000 endowment fund.
The first inter-sorority conference was called by Alpha Phi in 1902. An organization was formed at that time which later became the National Fanhellenic conference.
Former Career Girls Become Poor Mothers, But Some Moderns Not Swayed By Vocations
Washington, Dec. 7—(U.P.)-Dr. Leo Kanner of Johns Hopkins hospital said today the former secretary too often is a poor mother because she regards her child more or less as a substitute for her tynewriter.
Women in the KU, group to be pledged to Alpha Phi are from 21 Kansas towns, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.
The Baltimore physician told an American Medical association's clinical meeting here that the same holds true for salsegirls, factory workers, laboratory technicians, librarians and nurses.
This difficulty, he said, is most pronounced in the case of "the first born child of the secretary, the salesgirl, the factory piece worker. The laboratory technician, the librarian, or the nurse."
The child, he said, bears the "whole brunt of tense perfectionism, being more or less a substitute for the typewriter, the cash register, the machine, the test tube, the book shelf or the medicine cabinet."
Claiming that the old-fashioned method of raising children still is the best, Kanner said a mother's cultural influences are apt to deprive her children of affection.
"Young women are no longer reared for the main purpose of becoming wives and mothers," he said. "Most girls nowadays are prepared for a vocation."
"This mode of living prior to marriage can be a major boon to the stable woman who comes to married life enriched by the responsibility, activity and associations which the job affords her. But very often the job puts a premium on punctuality, meticulousness and perfectionism which it often becomes impossible for the mother to shake off when dealing with her children."
Kanner said pediatricians, psychologists, and psychiatrists have "added their shares to the mechanization and intimidation of mothers in the first quarter of this century."
"Calories were calculated, and the clock determined the number of feedings and hours of sleep for the baby," he said. "The new system
IT'S
made the mechanical robots of mothers."

Kanner had a few good things to say about modern-day mothers, however.
"There are many calm, stable, fond mothers who do not allow themselves to be swayed by all these cultural assaults on their common sense," he said.
