State to Aid In Child Care Efforts Across Upstate
Governor Dewey reported that Upstate communities may receive state help covering 15 percent of costs for child care provided to war workers' children. Cohoes is the area’s Lanham Act recipient, with plans for additional centers and possible state funding shifting from communities to the state. The 1943 Legislature allocated 2.5 million to supervise a state program, with cost sharing set at one third city, one third parents, one third state, and Lanham Act funds covering federal shares. The State War Council will award aid when conditions warrant.
