Street for children only

AROAD with a difference -almost all its inhabitants are children was opened on Saturday in Enfield, Middlesex, by the Mayor of Enfield, Alderman A. H. Chambers.
The residents of Bishop Craven Close. as the new road is called. are 72 homeless children in the care of the Crusade of Rescue, who live in six group homes, with a Sister and domestic helper in each to look after them.
As reported in last week's CATHOLIC HERALD, the Baffle of the road, opening out of Chasewood Avenue. commemorates Bishop Craven, Vicar Capitular of Westminster, who was administrator of the Crusade of Rescue from 1920 to 1948. The present Administrator, Mgr. Canon Charles Flood, was prevented by illness from being at the ceremony.
In welcoming the visitors, who included representatives of the children's departments of London, Middlesex, and Hertfordshire County Councils, Fr. Philip Harvey, Assistant Administrator of the Crusade. explained the absence of the children themselves at the ceremony by expressing sympathy for their reluctance to be stared at as if in a zoo.
The children were, in fact, waiting inside their new homes to show the visitors round. After the opening ceremony, the street was blessed by Bishop Craven, and the visitors then proceeded to tour the new buildings.
