Jackie's mother was in the hos¬ pital. His father, on the night shift in a large factory, took good caro of Jackie and his sister. He saw to il that they had their baths, he cooked their meals, he washed their clothes.
Perhaps it was because his fath¬ er had to get some sleep and couldn'lp always watch the child¬ ren, that Jackie, (aged seven), caught a cold which developed into pneumonia. His father called a doctor and as there was no one to look after Jackie, the doctor called the Community Centre. A nurse came and took care of Jack¬ ie, visiting him twice a day when he was very ill, and then once a day as his 'condition improved. Later Jackie was sent to a sea¬ shore convalescent home, and a nurse from the Centre still checks up on his condition,.
