Says Problem of ~ay.Care For Children Increases WASHING-TON (NC) - More and more' women are 0aking jobs outside the home, thereby increasing the need· @If day-care for children of working mothers. This is the oonc1usion of a report just published jointIyby two Government agencies - the Chit(jren's Bureau of the Department of Health, Education and W e If are and the Women's Bureau of the Depart[)lent of Labor. It is shown
that: - In 1900, only 18 per <rent of the nation's labor force were women; in 1920, 20 per cent were women; in 1940, 25 per cent were women; and in 1'960, "the ratio had risen to tully one-third" (33% per cent). _ In absolute numbers, the approximately f i v e milli~n women in the labor force In 1900 had increased "over 4th times" (to more than 22,500,000) in 1960. "The working life pattern of women," the report of the two agencies says, .. is this, first, that quite a high proportion of them undertake work outside the borne in the late teens and early twenties before marriage." "After marriage, a consider-, Ilible fraction turn to the rearing of children. Later, at about 40, after the children are old enough to take care of themselves, women tend to reenter the labor t.lorce in large numbers. There are, . however, many married women who work outside the home even though they have l70ung children to care for. "In March, 1959, there were !"1.2 million women in the labor force who had ever been mar!'ned - almost exactly one-third of the 51.7 million such women in the population.

Otqer councils, especially in the early centuries of the Church, dealt with "doctrinal crises," the Archbishop pointed out, recalling the ancient controversies, over the nature of the Blessed Trinity the meaning of the Incarnati~n, and so on. "Then came other crises," he added, "such as the split between the East and the West," which he described as having political aspects. "No immediate crisis faces the 'Church today from the standpoint of doctrine .or disCiplinary procedures," said Archbishop Alter, who recently returned IroQ:!. a meeting of the Central Preparatory .Commission at Rome. ,Neverthelesss, the nearly 100

years since the First Vatican Council have brought "many changes in our social conditions," the Archbishop continued. "We have seen the development of new countries in that time, with consequent problems, and we have to adjust to new situations. For example, in our missionary effort, we have to adapt religious truth to the cultures of' new countries without importing western culture, differentiating between what is a truly religious concept and what is simply westernism." .And in addition to these changes, "communism has created a tremendous problem for the Church," he said, "because Turn to Page Eighteen
