Each child is matched as closely as possible with someone who shares hobbies, ethnic background, religious preferences and other interests. Parents are asked if there are any special areas they would like their child he'ped in and then a volunteer with these same interests is matched to that child. Each volunteer receives instructions that outline how to reach a good relationship, not Child Care Draws Half only with the child, but the parents also. Another area stressed is avoiding expensive activities or buying g'ifts for the child other than birthday or Christmas. The purpose for this is not only to avoid a burden on students, but to help the child appreciate the friend rather than what the friend can buy. More than 80 activities that cost little or no money are suggested in the guidelines, with many more possibilities according to the individual personality, needs and creativity. The program has two planned activities a semester. As with any program, there may be those who are unable to unwilling to follow through with their commitments.

In a lengthy examination of child-car- e practices, the bureau reported Thursday that more mothers would look for work if child care was less expensive. The bureau said just over 9 percent of the women care for their children while at work, in most cases while working at home. That figure is down slightly from June 1977, when it was 10.7 percent. The study showed that 40 percent of working women arrange for child care services in someone else's home and 15 percent in group care centers. The children of 31 percent of working mothers are cared for in the mother's home. Of the 40 percent of the children cared for in another home, 22 percent were kept by and 18 percent by relatives. The report, based on a June 1982 survey, said there were 5,086,000 women between the ages of 18 and 44 with a child under age 5 who e or part-tim- e were working were There jobs. nearly 6.5 chilmillion mothers of dren not in the work force The proportion of mothers not in the labor force who would look for work if they could find child care at a reasonable cost is three times higher in families with incomes 36 percent than under $15,000 in those with incomes of at least Save on three of our most popular genuine bronze framed mirrors 69.99 A.
