Putting aside her parasitology man
ual, Eleanor Highsmith, one ot tne
baby-sitters sponsored by the Univer
sity YWCA, picked up a copy of the
latest issue of a "Three Little Pigs
picture book and watched as three-year-old
Claudia Walker pointed out
the pictures to her six-month-old sis
ter, Shirley, both daughters of C. P.
Walker, living in trailer 84 of the
Pittsboro road trailer camp.
Eleanor, a senior from Wilmington,

service committee of the YWCA which
recently planned the baby-sitting aid
for young-married couples.
Gets a Kick
"I get a big kick out of staying
with the kids," Eleanor said as she
told how appreciative the couples were
in having the servje. "They tell me
to make myself at home and that any
bod I can find is all mine, including
he soft drinks they usually leave on
ice for me.
The aid was an outgrowth of a
YWCA cabinet meeting last October
after there had been so many requests
for the service by the young married
veterans with children. The baby-sit-
ers are contacted through , the i ,

"I find that most of the children
are well-trained and most interesf-
ing," Eleanor said. "The Walker chil
dren are fairly quiet compared to some
of them who insist that I play some
vigorous game with them, and are
satisfied only when I've knocked over
a few vases, lamps, the radio, and
any other equipment that isn't at
tached or built in.
Intelligent Alan
"One of the most intelligent little
chaps with whom I've stayed, though,
is little six-year-old Alan, the third
of the Walker children, who reads his
first grade reader with such conscien
tious vigor that I get a guilty con
science and turn my attention back to
my parasitology manual again. The
children always get a thrill out of
the pictures of the amoebas and Para
meciums and of course have to know
all about them. Incidentally, usually
in the middle of my explanation, they
interrupt to ask why my mother lets
me wear red fingernail polish when
their mother won't let them wear it."
Walker, the father of the children,
is a graduate oi tne university ox
Florida, and is now doing graduate
work in public health. The couple have
their permanent home in Miami, Fla.,
where Walker is employed with the
state board of health. They came to
the University last September.
Excellent Job
Mrs. Walker says she thinks the
service of the YWCA is excellent, and
the girls are doing a fine job. She
also added that she has no complaints
