This ordinance imposing a ban on breast feeding in Public places outlawed expos fing the nipple while breast feed p ing what kind of sick mind sees eroticism in the natural and Loving act of breast feed ing a baby whenever i see a woman breast feeding her child i see a Mother demonstrating her love for her baby. Furthermore can t understand All the fuss Aboul women exposing their breasts at any time. Breasts Are not sex organs. They Are nothing More 1han fatty tissue containing milk producing glands. . Page 11 letters. We checked with Fred Mcca the county attorney to Dubuque. He said the police department after several complaints about women exposing themselves while breast settling asked for an amendment regarding Dis play or the female nipple. This Issue generated a great Deal of controversy. Was it to include bathing in Public places what about Little girls running around in the us or with no tops the amendment was not passed. Your statement thai breasts Are not sex organs May be True but they Are a whole lot More than fatty tissue containing milk As any Reader of Playboy Magazine will testify. Here s another letter on the same subject dear Ann Landers recently i had the misfortune of going out to dinner with a nursing Mother. When she took out her breast Al the table 1 was so embarrassed 1 could barely Cal.

Like Many other communities in Sarel a Heilbronn has a greater need for child care than it can currently meet. The problem will be finally solved in 1991 with the construction Ofa new child care Center. Until that Lime we arc working diligently to make additional care available through the family child care program which is Home based. This army program is designed to provide a Safe caring and healthy environment for children outside Ofa Center based environment. Care provided in government owned or leased quarters is a Busini iss. The . Government has a responsibility to place controls on that business to protect the child Parent care giver and itself. Acc providers arc regulated in inc number and Ages of the children they May care for bul nol the Price they charge for that care. These care givers arc required to maintain a fire extinguisher Al their own Cost and provide cribs High chairs play pens toys and other equipment for inc children they care for. Family child care acc providers voluntarily enrol in a very intense trainings program Are Given a very thorough background investigation and must pass several detailed inspections of their Homes prior to certification.
