**Such a registry is an ex-
cellent idea for any area with
more than one provider.
Although it seems like a
simple idea in this age of
computers, until now no one
else had even implemented

interest rate reduction and a
10 per cent write-off of pro-

tional contact is achieved be-
tween school children and
live-in workers.
