SHEER AUDACITY
CHILD STRIPPED OF CLOTHING BABY LEFT IN UNDERCLOTHING In these days of wool shortages and difficulty for mothers of young children in procuring woollen garments, a certain type of woman will apparently go to any length to repair a deficiency in her child’s ward-
robe. For sheer audacity a recent case has no parallel. A woman had left her young child in his pram outside a drapery store in Hamilton while she went inside for a few minutes. On coming out of the store she' was amazed to find that
her child had -been stripped of »is woollen clothes and Was sitting up in the pram in his underclothing. Another case also provides mothers with a warning against such, a despicable type of sneak thief. A baby’s woollen blanket and a bag of sweets were removed from another pram While the baby was left sleeping outside a shop in Hamilton’s main thoroughfare. Several cases of unattended prams being stolen in Hamilton have been reported to the police in recent months.
