Eddie wrote about the cost of a baby, and the poem came back to my mind today by what one of the neighbours said. I met Si Higgins in the village get­ ting chop, and in the course of con­ versation he asked me, “How much did the baby cost?” I mentally fig­ ured up Doctor Jim's fees and vari­ ous other items of expenditure, ahd told him, But on the way home I started thinking! You don’t just calculate the cost of a baby by the amount of money that you have to lay out for it. The cost of babies isn’t reckoned in dollars and cents. There’s a different form of cur­ rency to use When you start figuring up a cost such as that.
